Damn you, Tampa! Some of you might remember the announcement in November 2007 that a HealthSaver Caffeinated Cities Survey listed Chicago as America's most caffeinated city. Today, the company released a new survey and we are no longer number one. In the 14+ months since that last survey, Tampa and Seattle have moved ahead of us to claim the number one and two spots, respectively. Tampa? Really? According to HealthSaver's Todd Smith, "Despite Tampa being the most caffeinated, respondents in Tampa rank number one in saying they're least likely to be addicted to caffeine...They are number one in pain reliever consumption and they are also third most likely to do energy drink consumption." Tea consumption also accounts for Tampa's high rank. So, third place? That's okay cause we still beat New York. Suck it!

Hmmm...how to make an already not-so-healthy product even worse for you? Add a shit-ton of caffeine, of course! The creators of Engobi (short for Energy Go Bites) have done just that with their new line of caffeine-infused snack chips. Each 1.5 ounce single serving bag has 140 mg of caffeine, making it stronger than a serving of brewed coffee, Redbull, espresso, regular Jessie Spano–strength caffeine pills, etc. Flavors come in Lemon Lift and Cinnamon Surge, which sounds almost as delicious as Mountain Dew flavored Doritos.

The Cubs have recently instructed Carlos Zambrano to cut the caffeine. While he admits to reducing his intake, he hasn't been able to quit cold turkey.
