Penguin - a tasty caffeinated peppermint. Penguins come in a cool little metal box, the Penguin logo on the front (a penguin with arrows for feet standing against a black and white background of strips). Below the logo is the big mystical word Penguin (with an interesting font) painted in black against the yellow background. Below that, there is the Caffeinated Peppermints written in white against a black background. At the bottom of the front side, there is in tiny words NET WT. 1.75 oz 50g.

The bottom of the tin is a black background with a grey box for the Nutrition Facts reading...

    The reason for such fanatical devotion to Penguins is the fact they can bestow you with the power to do just about anything... that doesn't require concentration, friendlyness, good reaction timing, or sanity (from the caffeine).

    Penguins would be much safer if they didn't enslave you into taking many of them. Two tins should have enough caffeine to kill you (depending on your size). I've come to this conclusion view... 75 * 2 /3 = 50 cans of coke, which should result in a 75% chance of death in a person weighing less than 160 pounds (if I did the math correctly).

    So consider the consquences when you take your next penguin. Look what they did to me!
