ok so i have drank these on and off for awhile now, i was introduced by a close friend of mine who picked up the recipe in prison. they would literally play cards for 60 hours at a time during weekends when they didnt have to work hopped up on what they called Bombays (no this is not the Gin drink), instead it is a clever mix of dr. pepper and coffee that gets you so wired that it's ridiculous. i have been awake for 40 straight hours off a single Bombay, including 2 sessions of mass tabling, a midterm, and we have a weekly hearts game tonight. so ill easily be up for 2 days on this stuff. it's a lot of caffeine so use with caution, i have been kind enough to take photos of me making onw and i will detail the process for you


Step 1: Gather your ingredients

Instant Coffee, it has to be instant, it can not be ground coffee. Brand doesn't matter. A Bombay is almost like a Turkish coffee with a Dr. Pepper base



Dr. Pepper, I didn't get it in the bottle because I live literally behind a Subway, it's a 30second walk, and I go there so often they give me free fountain drinks



Ice Cubes, these are essential to get the proper consistency. Cubes work better than crushed




Step 2: Compile the Ingredients

Add spoonfuls of coffee to an empty cup, do this based on how strong you would like your drink to be. I'd always go with at least 2, but never more than 5. Mess around and see what you like most.







Next, add Dr. Pepper to the coffee in the cup and let it dissolve, it will turn into a foam like substance. You will notice because the cup will weigh significantly less than a normal cup full of liquid would, that's because at this point its not really a liquid



Here you can see the weird consistency in greater detail




Finallly, add some ice cubes and stir around for a few seconds and it will turn back into a drinkable liquid. Don't expect it to taste like candy, remember you are drinking instant coffee, but it's not bad, especially if you are already a coffee drinker, plus Dr. Pepper is awesome enough to make anything taste ok.




Voila! There you have it

After the fizz dies down and settles it will look like this:




You will not be drinking any coffee grinds, it all perfectly dissolves into the Dr. Pepper. Let me know if you have any questions, and I will forward them to the resident expert. Bombays are basically the ****, whenever we have home games all of the degenerates drink these and by 11am the next morning we're playing 6card omaha with middle card on the flop wild. Great for poker!!

i feel like they had to be in prison to come up with this, more than anything else...

will be trying this next week for the tlb contest

Looks nasty, sounds nasty...imma try it.

comedown?

"Next, add Dr. Pepper to the coffee in the cup and let it dissolve, it will turn into a foam like substance."

how much dr. pepper typically? fill it up til the foam reaches the top?

and do you normally drink it out of a solo cup like the pictures in terms of quantity?

thanks for this btw lipo

solo cups are just easiest so i dont have to wash them out afterwards and can just toss it. i use solo cups for anything water i dont drink, i live in a college house, which is basically the equivalent of a poker frathouse, we have/use lots of solo cups so it's simplest. don't fill it quite all the way to the top because you don't want it to overflow when you put the ice cubes in

if I didn't have stomach flu atm I'd be def into this

will try tommorrow ty

this is awesome.

so much <3

sounds ***** horrible but ill prolly try it just for the f of it.

does it make you jittery??

i fell like id be so jacked, id be a misclicking fool

lol i opened this thread expecting to find keys to lower your carbon footprint, not a crack-like prison cocktail.

hows the morning after?

lol thanks




i think....

how many of these do you drink in order to stay awake for 60 hours

lmao this is priceless.

dr pepper is the ****.


does this taste good overall?

this is hard for me to answer, im a jittery person in general, one of my nicknames is "shakey" and also "michael j" since my name is marty, and he's marty mcfly and so am i, and he has parkinsons, etc etc. doesnt make me much worse off than usual though, i feel more hyped up and cant listen to my normal indie music while grinding though, no increased frequency of misclicks though

sounds gross but im def gonna try it

and does this mean you CAN'T go to sleep if you take >2 spoonfulls?

like could i drink one at 8 am for a ultra-long mtt/study session and still get to bed by like 3 am that night, or is it too hard to go to sleep and recommended only for extreme situations? i'm going to take your word for it with regards to how strong these things are

sorry for all the questions. waiting until the day before to study for massive finance/accounting tests is kinda my bag

i love coffee and i love dr pepper. what could go wrong?

depends on how 6 card omaha goes

seriously though it's just mass amounts of caffeine you're consuming in one drink, it's not some miracle drug. caffeine has different effects on everyone, it doesnt mess me up though afterwards

haha ship

ima try it sometime..will bananas end the geeking from it?

tx TLF

you think this works with a coke or a pepsi, too? I dont think I have ever seen Dr. Pepper here in Germany
