Australia has a reputation for being super deadly.
Spiders, snakes, jellyfish … all things that can kill you Down Under.
And now you can add to that list your morning cuppa: a café in southern Australia just introduced coffee so strong it comes with a health warning.
Located at Christies Beach in Adelaide, Viscous Coffee’s new iced coffee “Asskicker” contains five grams of caffeine — or 80 times the amount of a single shot of coffee. Which is half a lethal dose.
According to Viscous owner Steve Benington, the Asskicker — originally developed for a late-shift nurse in ER — is meant to be consumed over 3-4 hours and provide 12-18 hours of awake time. The drink is made from four shots of espresso, four 48-hour brewed cold-drip ice cubes, 120 milliliters of 10-day brewed cold drip and four additional 48-hour brewed cold drip ice cubes.
“Some people love it and some are broken by it, but it’s all in the name of fun,” Benington told local paper The Advertiser.
