Theobromine T-Shirts

Years ago I bought a caffeine molecule t-shirt from ThinkGeek.com and just thought it was the cleverest thing ever (I didn’t get out much then). This past weekend I came across my next molecule t-shirt, theobromine. It looks like they only have them in a women’s style (I can’t imagine why that would be).

ThinkGeek’s description says:

“Caffeine is our favorite stimulant. It is easy to get and comes in many forms. But did you know that Caffeine has a sexy younger cousin. Her name is Theobromine, and she’s the tasty little number who puts your mind in a happy place while you are eating chocolate. Molecularly similar to caffeine, but with just enough differences to make her a much smoother date, Theobromine is slower to burn out of your system and induces gentle, sensual stimulation to your muscular and cardiovascular systems. Grrrrrrrr!”

I also found one at moleculewear.com though their prices are a tiny bit higher for the women’s styles.

The descriptions at moleculewear.com says:

“Theobromine is the active ingredient in chocolate and acts as a stimulant.

“Theobromine affects humans similarly to caffeine, but on a much smaller scale. It is a mild stimulant, and relaxes the smooth muscles of the bronchi in the lungs. It’s also an anti-depressant and makes us feel good. After finishing the chocolate molecule the Digital Militia staff began licking fingers, and each other.

“This shirt is for people who have discovered that dessert is more important than the ramifications of obesity, tooth decay, and diabetes.”
