These really should come with some sort of warning label. I can recall sitting at the counter of a chi chi dessert bar where a pal was slinging espresso. She had a little dish of chocolate-covered espresso beans at the counter. I perched on a bar stool for probably three hours just chatting, catching up, drinking her mistake drinks - and munching bean after bean after bean...

When it was time to go I realized that my motions were all exaggerated - as if it no longer took as much effort to move my limbs. I had difficulty walking. Then I realized that my heart was hammering and I had broken out in a cold sweat. Needless to say, I did not sleep that night.
