Kristen is spooning coffee in the first scene. Does that really work? If Freddy were around now they could just pop adderall

I've tried it because of this film out of desperation. It works as long as the grounds are in your mouth. But you don't get a caffeine boost :(

It will perk you up for a while, BUT if you consume too much coffee it can have the opposite effect and make you sleepy.

Create a society in which you would like to live, not knowing what you're going to come into it as.

I've tried it and it doesn't work that well. In fact, I get caffeine crash earlier than usual. I'd rather brew and drink it even if it's slightly watery.

She's eating Instant Coffee... not grounds.

Thanks for clearing that up, I would have never guessed what the OP meant.

Yeah instant coffee works better that way than ground, but instant is so expensive.

I don't know. Maybe we should give it a go ?

Nothing like a nighttime stroll to give you ideas.

I'm curious why she didn't just brew up some coffee. It's not like it's that hard to do since she had instant coffee and only needed hot water. Why not be slamming cup after cup of coffee interspliced with Diet Coke?

Also, imagine that scene today: Kristen would be high on packets of trucker speed and shaking as she moved over to prescription medication. So much easier to stay awake today, and we haven't even gotten into how the 'blue' light from computer monitors and LED bulbs have been shown to change the human sleep cycle.
