    You can extract the nicotine from 2 cans of Cope and have enough of it to kill several people. Or so they tell me. After high school, my friends at Georgia Tech extracted everything in the chem lab. They even made powdered caffeine from a couple of pounds of coffee. Good god that stuff was nasty strong!

    I belive it. The nicotine in one small PINCH of Cope is enough to KILL me. or at least thats how it felt when I tried it.

    Yes, you can extract almost anything with some good lab apparatus, and some know how. Pure caffeine is strong. of course too much can kill. I remember trying a few No-Doz when I was in my last year of HS (those days I would try almost anything)... I didn't sleep for at least two days. That is nasty strong stuff.

    I had some fun with No-Doz 'way back when ('61). I'd gotten a little packet from a sample pack my Uncle gave each of us when we visited. The drive home from there (Des Moines to Detroit) was going to be an all-nighter, so sometme in the wee hours I tried sucking on one. (NOT the way to do NO-DOZ!!!) At first there's a nice minty taste, like a mint. But then in a flash it turns into one of the bitterest, nasty tastes ever. I quickly took it out and decided I didn't like them.

    So when school got back in session, I gave one to a friend of mine. He'd started sucking on it when I gave it to him, and soon thereafter he was making lots of noise about the AWFUL taste in his mouth. Well, we both learned that you're supposed to SWALLOW, not SUCK!!!

    I wouldn't touch that line with a ten-foot pole. Not even a six-foot Czech.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    And then there the baseball players with that huge wad in their cheek up at the plate. Gotta love 'em! Who can forget Lenny Dykstra in the '86 world series? Or even A-rod recently?

    I used to like to hang a huge plug in there every now and then. These days it's too expensive to stuff in a golf ball sized plug. Gotta go with a pea sized plug nowadays. I don;t make Dykstra's kind of money... LOL

    Incidentally, when I think back to baseball and tobacco I think of left hand reliever Sparky Lyle with that huge plug in his mouth. It was his trademark. he used to advertise Levi Garret. I remember one time when the Yanks had to pull a pitcher from the game. Rumor was that he aaccidentallly swallowed the plug and was feelin mighty sick. Last thing you want is to swallow that nicotine plug.

    I don;t understand how anyone could chew Skoal or Cope when Beech Nut, Red Man, Levi Garret, Union Station, Day's O Work, Wrigley's etc are so much better tasting. Chew is supposed to have a nice, rich, fruity taste not a bitter salty burning taste. Skoal tastes like your chewin on parts of a burned automobile....uggghhh.
