Is Tony REALLY addicted to coffee?

The poll shows that the vast majority of fans (84%) believe that Tony cannot live without coffee.

Nope.

Let's see what he drinks.

Iron Man (2008):

0:11:55 and 1:14:25 - Mineral water Perrier (a lot in the fridge), Espresso machine and espresso cups in the lab. He used to drink a lot of espresso.

0:12:15 - espresso in the morning.

Deleted scene "Tony & Rhodey on Stark Jet" - coffee and juice in the morning.

0:12:15 and 0:26:55 - tea and water in the cave (not many options there).

0:54:20 - working on Mark 2 - coffee mug on his desk and 0:56:55 - a few days later - there are 2 coffee mugs (white and black) next to the desk.

0:57:25 - perhaps the next day, Pepper brought him another mug (though he has a coffee maker in his lab, and he probably poured the previous cups and mugs himself), and at 1:05:25 - the same mug, half full of black coffee. Tony did not touch it for quite a while.

1:06:15 - Smoothie: Begins (there's a full blender).

Conclusion for IM1: coffee seems to be his favorite drink, he has an espresso machine in his lab, drinks espresso or black coffee and juice in the morning, 2-3 mugs of black coffee during the day, smoothie in the evening, sometimes drinks mineral water. Had to drink tea in the cave.

Iron Man 2:

0:18:20 - U makes him smoothie (he tries). You can see Dr Pepper and mineral water in the fridge. The espresso machine is still there, but the cups are gone. Tony switched from coffee to chlorophyll.

0:23:45 - chlorophyll all day.

0:49:20 - chlorophyll.

1:01:40 - coffee with Nick in the morning.

1:07:05 - mineral water with Nick.

1:09:25 - tried to get more coffee but Coulson said no.

1:13:20 - drinks Dr Pepper with ice instead.

Conclusion for IM2: Tony had to drink chlorophyll to reduce symptoms of palladium poisoning. He stopped drinking espresso. Drank coffee occasionally and only from cafes. Started drinking soda (Dr Pepper). Also drank smoothies and mineral water.

The Avengers:

1:39:45 and 2:12:55 - no coffee machine in Tony's penthouse. But the blender is there. Tony drinks his smoothie.

2:22:20 - the team is drinking something, maybe coffee, maybe not.

Conclusion for The Avengers: Tony didn't drink coffee, even in the lab. We don't see a coffee machine in his penthouse. But he drinks a lot of smoothies (which we can tell by the presence of the blender).

P.S. If Marvel wanted to show that Tony drinks a lot of coffee, they would have shown us a coffee machine, not a blender with smoothies.

Iron Man 3:

0:10:50 - Tony is in a restaurant with Rhodey and drinking water.

0:21:05 - water with dinner.

0:45:05 - Tony asked Harley for a tuna sandwich, but didn't ask for coffee or anything else to drink. He could just drink water from a sink.

0:52:25 - most likely water. Again.

1:12:30 - energy drink? He'll need it.

Conclusion for IM3: no coffee. Seems like Tony is addicted to water though.

Age of Ultron:

0:16:50 - looks like old pal chlorophyll.

0:20:40 - Dr Pepper.

0:20:45 - the only time in the movie we see Tony drinking coffee (probably). In several scenes in the lab there is a black mug, but it is Bruce's (0:41:42).

1:08:58 and 1:14:09 - lemonade?

Conclusion for AoU: Tony drinks anything - smoothies, chlorophyll, soda, coffee, lemonade. We only saw him drink coffee once here. There's only a blender in his space, no mugs around in the lab (only Bruce's one).

Civil War:

0:29:15 - Tony washed down a pill with water from an electric kettle.

1:17:40 - Tony and May drink tea. He could have asked May to pour him coffee, but for some reason chose tea.

Conclusion for CW: very very strange. Tony drinks tea. And doesn't drink coffee.

Spider-Man Homecoming:

Only (probably) lemonade at 0:37:30.

Infinity War:

No drinks.

Endgame:

0:34:17 - maybe cold coffee, maybe something else.

0:39:35 - something in his bottle, impossible to say what. Probably not coffee.

1:02:19 - coffee from a cafe.

1:05:00 - there are 2 cups on the desk, most likely for Nat and Tony.

Conclusion for Endgame: coffee is back as a favorite drink it seems. After 15 years of smoothies and water.

So, no addiction. Tony can drink anything, even tea.

Court of Darkness: Starbucks Orders

What Starbucks drinks would the Court of Darkness consorts and main characters order? Find out below! ☕️

…

Guy and Jasper

Guy always gets black coffee, no sugar, no cream. Consumes only premium coffee blends. Grumbles loudly that Jasper’s Avari red coffee is clearly superior.

Baristas ask Jasper for tips and tricks on brewing coffee. Upon hearing this, Lance begrudgingly informs the baristas to be wary of letting him make drinks unsupervised, unless they want additional potions added to them.

Toa and Knight

When drinking in public, Toa orders a black coffee, no cream 5 sugars. If Toa gets the drink delivered to him and he drinks in the privacy of his quarters—Caramel ribbon frappe crunch, extra caramel, extra crunchy toppings, extra whip cream.

Toa frequently orders one cat-shaped cake-pop for Knight. Knight complains each time, lamenting he’s not a child. Toa ignores the complaints, since Knight says them while polishing off the cake-pop.

Lynt and Tino

If ordering alone, Lynt gets a bottle of natural spring mineral water. If Lynt is ordering with Tino…Lynt still reaches for a bottle of water, but after hearing Tino lament over the prince’s lack of desire to consume anything, he’ll grab an iced green tea. Lynt drinks three sips of tea before giving it to Tino.

Regardless of the weather, Tino gets the classic hot chocolate and pours the beverage in a mug passed down from his grandmother.

Fenn and Violet

Fenn has tried EVERY drink at least once. Flirts with baristas shamelessly to get extra shots of vanilla or espresso in his drinks. Is personally responsible for half of the secret drink menu items such as the purple drink, the raspberry cheesecake Frappuccino, the sour patch kids drink, and the apple martini refresher.

Regardless of which drink he orders, Fenn always orders a second drink—a mango dragonfruit refresher. This drink is given to Violet, who often combines the drink with Luxuran blue wine before going out on a date.

Roy, Sherry, and Grayson

Roy has tried every tea drink on the menu, including those on the secret drink menu. He always adds a few Invidian tea leaves to his tea. When Roy doesn’t have tea, he usually orders the pink drink with extra strawberries.

When he goes out with Sherry, Roy smiles indulgently and gets two unicorn Frappuccinos, with extra whip cream and raspberry syrup.

Grayson refuses to imbibe in the unicorn drink, despite Sherry’s pleas. Grayson on a sugar high is nearly as eventful as Grayson imbibing alcohol.

Rio and Thoma

On more than one occasion, Rio has paid for the drink order of the person behind him. Will happily drink anything and often asks the barista for their favorite drink and choose that.

When it’s Fall though, Rio orders only pumpkin spice lattes or Frappuccinos. All hail Rio, the prince of pumpkin spice. Thoma, conversely, DESPISES pumpkin spice, with a passion of a thousand fiery suns. Thoma LOVES Apple crisp Frappuccinos.

Lance

Refuses to contribute money to the soulless corporate machine known as Starbucks. Nope.

Dia, Jay, and Lou

Dia never picks up his orders in person. Jay picks up a very berry hibiscus lemonade on behalf of his young charge and then gets an Earl Grey tea for himself. The pair then split an order of kale and mushroom egg bites. Dia’s mood sours greatly if the egg bites are not available.

The other half of the secret drink menu not made by Fenn was created by Lou. Often, Lou will simply point to random ingredients near the barista and ask if they can be combined.

No Lou, don’t combine espresso and lemonade. Just don’t.

When a Glass of Water is not Just a Glass of Water: My Brain, Explained.

Thoughts on My Particular Flavor of Nuerospicy (An Extended Metaphor)

For a neurotypical person, they might decide they want a glass of water. They go to the kitchen, get a glass from the cabinet, and pour water into it from the tap at the sink. Then they drink the water and go about their day. The end.

I also decide that I want a glass of water. Only, my brain is anything but neurotypical. So my story goes a bit more like this.

First off, I won't drink the tap water because it tastes too minerally. Bottled or at least filtered is necessary, too, to lessen that mineral flavor. It also has to be really cold water, so that means refrigerated at minimum, but ice water is best. With lots of ice. I have to use a specific glass, because the condensation makes the glass sweat and I hate having damp hands. Moist is dangerously close to sticky and sticky is the Worst.

All of that is the autism, the extreme preferences, to the point where my brain hard stops at any unacceptable sensations. It’s not that I don’t want to drink the tap water, I find myself physically unable to. I am so grossed out by all of the inappropriate sensations that my brain outright refuses.

Then, there's the other considerations, like if I go to the kitchen for water, I might decide I need to gather up all the laundry on the way. And then backtrack for a basket to put it in. While getting the basket, I rearrange the soaps in the bathroom. Then I drop all the dirty laundry because I never did get that basket.

When I finally make it to the kitchen, I make my way over to the washing machine and maybe start it because it's there and I have all this laundry in my hands! And soap. But no basket. (Still.)

Two hours later, I'm licking my lips and wondering why my throat hurts. Oh. I was thirsty. Right. (The laundry’s probably still damp in the machine, too.)

ADHD, my old frenemy. Have to take that into consideration as well.

So, instead of keeping water at the tap in the kitchen, I keep water bottles in my desk drawer, near a mini fridge in the living room, and I bought dozens of insulated cups with brightly colored straws and lids. I got a Britta filter in a bright color that makes it easy to see. The water is available in several forms that suit my texture preferences at the moment, and insulated bottles with lids and straws means the water can come along with me while I'm going about my day. It means I can drink it quickly, before it gets too tepid.

It wasn't the most straightforward path, but it was the path that got me to the desired outcome, which was HAVING MAGGIE DRINK WATER.

This is what I mean when I say that for me, sometimes the most obvious path isn't the best way for me. The obvious path contains laundry demons! Pretty gizmos, and other reminders. The obvious path takes three times as long and doesn't always result in the desired end goal.

The path that seemed more meandering and complicated on paper was the one that actually achieved the desired outcome. I found the way that got the desired goal, and it was more work maybe to get there, but it got me there. I can't say that for the regular way.

Remembering Baptism.

Papillae of the room are satiated by the salty clicks of my neighbors keyboard. But still the setting growls. Growls, barks, guttural and horny, like the jeering face I remembered this morning. My soul projects as heat, excitation wards off the stillness all around me. Such a messy stillness. Stillness in his pharynx, demanding intake of air. The stillness of constant motion, stillness found, way deep down, in the bottom of a well. I'm feeling well myself, as we are all guilty of from time to time. You probably think we always are well, some space in need of filling, that substance is the soul, that humanity is the water bottle I wrestled for with vending machine (and lost). It's tempting, I know. 100% recycled bottle. Purified water. Minerals added to taste. Reminds me, the lord said season our speech with grace, though here taste refers to the word fuck. But anyway, I can't drink the water without compromised kiss of air. I told you once (not you of course) that glass half empty is just the same, that air counts too, it just takes more. I once sat there while you told me there's nothing magic about the water. Its municipal, shitty fish pee river fed crap, that locally owned Calloway Lake Superior, poured out for my soul. No. You didn't say that. That makes no sense. You said it was all display, performance, the real magic, faith, holy thing was inside me all along. Maybe he was...still is. But, convenience begets belief, and I'd rather not think about it.

Nutrition while shiftworking

When working in shift schedules, it's essential to pay attention to your nutrition to maintain energy levels and support your overall health. Shift work can disrupt your sleep-wake cycle and disrupt your eating habits. In this blog post, you'll find valuable tips on how to adjust your diet effectively for shift work, promoting your well-being and enhancing your performance.

Regular Meal Times: Despite changing work hours, maintaining regular meal times is crucial. Our bodies thrive on routine, and having consistent meal times helps regulate hunger, digestion, and metabolism. Plan your meals around your shift schedule to ensure you have designated times for nourishment. If you're working night shifts, try to have your main meal before starting work and smaller meals or snacks throughout the shift to sustain energy levels.

2. Balanced Diet: A balanced diet is key to providing your body with essential nutrients. Aim to include a variety of foods from different food groups to ensure you get a wide range of vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients. Fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants and fiber, whole grains provide complex carbohydrates for sustained energy, lean protein sources (such as chicken, fish, beans) support muscle health, and healthy fats (like avocados, nuts, olive oil) provide satiety and essential fatty acids.

3. Meal Planning: Planning your meals in advance can help you make healthier choices and ensure you have nutritious options readily available. Take some time each week to plan your meals and prepare them ahead of time. When preparing your meals, aim to include a balance of proteins, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. This will make it easier to stick to your nutrition goals during busy work shifts and reduce the temptation to rely on convenience foods or unhealthy snacks.

4. Monitor Caffeine and Sugar Intake: Caffeinated beverages like coffee or energy drinks can provide a temporary energy boost, but they can also disrupt your sleep and leave you feeling restless. If you rely on caffeine to stay alert during your shift, try to consume it early in your shift and limit your intake closer to the end of your workday. Additionally, be mindful of your sugar intake. While sugary snacks or drinks might provide a quick energy spike, they can lead to energy crashes later on. Opt for natural sugars found in fruits instead.

5. Stay Hydrated: Maintaining proper hydration is important for your overall well-being, especially during demanding shifts. Drink water regularly throughout your shift to prevent dehydration, which can cause fatigue and impair cognitive function. Keep a reusable water bottle with you and make it a habit to sip water consistently, even if you don't feel thirsty. Avoid relying on sugary drinks or excessive amounts of caffeine to quench your thirst.

6. Nutrient-rich Snacks: Having healthy snacks readily available can help you avoid reaching for vending machine options or unhealthy fast food during your shift. Opt for nutrient-rich snacks that provide sustained energy and essential nutrients. Nuts and seeds, yogurt, fresh fruits, vegetable sticks with hummus, or homemade energy bars are excellent choices. These snacks provide a combination of healthy fats, fiber, and proteins, which can help keep you full and satisfied during your shift.

Conclusion: Taking care of your nutrition is essential when working in shift schedules. By following these tips, you can optimize your diet for shift work, ensuring sustained energy levels and supporting your overall well-being. Remember, everyone is unique, and it may be beneficial to consult with a nutritionist or dietitian to tailor your dietary needs to your individual circumstances. Prioritizing a healthy diet will contribute to your success and productivity in your shift work journey.

re: this video where prozd pokes friendly fun at fandom subreddits with a video about the water fandom on reddit (apparently before he learned that this actually exists!)

specifically where he said, "so no *snort* dsasani; i'd recommend aquafina for a beginner water, though honestly, room temperature tap water through a filter is the way to go"

anyway, i just want to plug r.o. water (tap water filtered through a reverse osmosis system, usually a fairly bulky system installed under the kitchen sink that leads to a separate tap). looks like this:

.

i wouldn't say it's a beginner water, per se, because reverse osmosis systems are expensive and usually you need professional help to install them, but many grocery stores sell r.o. water (usually out of a vending machine near the front door; you put in a quarter and fill your own bottle), so it's good water to try if you've never found one that spoke to you;

because r.o. water tastes so good--it has none of the weird taste that tap water in most places i've lived have, but also none of the plastic-y taste of bottled water. if you haven't tried it, i'd say it tastes exactly like bottled water, but without the plastic-y taste

i never much liked drinking water until i started drinking r.o.; i'd drink it when i was thirsty, but usually i preferred it so cold that i couldn't taste anything, or i would just make tea to cover the taste of the water. (with very low quantities of tea and steeped only for a few seconds--just enough to cover the water taste)

(the only exceptions to this among places where i've tried the tap water are the bay area (US), switzerland, and luxembourg; i've found tap water in those three places fantastic;

(growing up i used to think i just didn't like room-temp tap water, but then i did an internship in the bay area in college and i too thirsty to refrigerate or go out and buy bottled water one night, so i just drank tap and i was like 'whoa, maybe my tastes have changed?!', but then i went back to boston and was like 'nope, bay area just has good tap water, oops'))

i discovered r.o. when i moved to this town in texas where the tap water tastes astoundingly bad, even by texas standards, and most people i know here have an r.o. system, my department in the university has one installed on every kitchen sink, so then i tried it and as soon as i could, i went to get my own installed at home, because wow, now i love drinking water, even room temperature water, it just tastes so crisp and perfect out of an r.o. tap

so yeah, if you want good water out of a tap, move to the bay area, switzerland or luxembourg, but if you can't manage that, reverse osmosis is definitely the way to go

if you are worried about not getting enough minerals, you can get it remineralized, too. i think some grocery store vending machines sell it remineralized

i swear this post is not sponsored by anyone, i just have opinions about drinking water

Image of Tomorrow//Minami & Aja

@ajathings

“A water would be nice, thank you.”

Aja would make time to truly take in her surroundings while Minami was away. A look into a studio was a peek into an artist’s mind, their heart. For Aja, it was the best part of meeting an artist-- not just to see in person what they wish to present, but also to catch a glimpse of what else they have to offer, and what they might be keeping to themselves. Minami would make several statements, but her studio would be making statements of its own.

Minami had already begun making statements of her own. Her red lace dress made apparent that she was intent on making an impression. Though what kind? There were multiple ways a curator could receive it. Perhaps Aja received it in a way Minami did not intend.  Or did. Aja smiled, stealing a glance or two before casting her attention to pieces she had come to see. She wasn’t invited to take a closer look, but she stole a few paces forward anyway, letting her eyes trail over the details of each painting. The stark difference between seeing them online and seeing them in person was worth the flight across the sea.

“I suppose I don’t have to tell you that if we were to accept you and your work, you must come prepared with a mission statement,” Aja paced slowly from piece to piece. “You’ll have to describe your process, your objectives, your motivations, so on and so forth. And in this very specific case, you’ll have to defend against accusation of copy-machining and plagiarism.”

Aja turned back to Minami. “But I’m sure you’re accustomed to this already. After all someone with your talent and a clear sense of determination would have neither without having to combat such indelicate interactions in the past.”

Aja took a few strides back. “So. Whenever you’re ready, walk me through it.”

Minami, as a rule, was extremely hard to phase. She had held her own against some of the most frightening people anyone could think of. But as Aja paced along in front of the paintings she felt something against which she had little defence; someone was genuinely and incisively looking at her work.

Once again Ru shot her a look from the centre of the Primavera and she gathered herself together. For just a moment she let her eyes take in the curator, analytically. She was young, for a start. Most of the professionals in the gallery business Minami had dealt with were not. Also, she was a woman and she was direct, slightly formidable even. But that had never put Minami off anything.

She went to the little fridge under the work bench and pulled out a bottle of mineral water, passing it politely to her visitor. She strode up to Primavera, her favourite of this particular triptych.

     “I can quash the copyright concern immediately.” She gestured to the figures. “Certainly the poses and positions evoke the original work, but you will not find a single identical brushstroke and every figure is drastically different to the original. This is not plaigurism. It is honest and open homage.”

She paced with a ballet like ease (even in her platform heels) in front of the canvas, her fingers moving in a diaphanous gesture along the bodies of the figures without ever touching the canvas. Something about the lines of a painting brought out the dancer in Minami. It made something primal in her sing.

      “Take the three graces on the left side here, Sara, Haru and Mia.”

Unlike the gauzy garments worn by the women in the original panting these three were dressed respectively in a neon cyberpunk ensemble, a full length black catsuit and a flimsy yellow chemise. They were all laughing. Minami glanced conspiratorially at Aja.

      “Good friends of mine, they all work at a love hotel two blocks from here.”

Minami’s hand flowed to the figure that would be Hermes. 

      “This is Kai, he’s an artist in his own right. Video work. But he specialises in drag performance.”

The artist took a step back from the canvas, as if taking it in with fresh eyes.

      “These are my people, my contemporaries, my world.” She gave a carefree shrug. “They are as beautiful, as vital to me as any person ever painted by Botticelli or Titian.”

Alkaline Water Filter Pitchers: The Affordable Solution for Health-Conscious Consumers

In recent years, the focus on health and wellness has intensified. With growing awareness of the effects of hydration on overall health, more individuals are looking for ways to optimize the water they drink. One emerging trend that has captured attention is alkaline water, which offers numerous health benefits. To cater to this demand, innovative solutions like the alkaline water filter pitcher have become increasingly popular. As an alkaline water filter pitcher manufacturer in Jaipur, Akshay Enterprises is proud to offer premium-quality pitchers that provide alkaline water at home, catering to both individual and wholesale buyers.

What is Alkaline Water?

Alkaline water is water with a higher pH level than regular drinking water. While typical tap water has a neutral pH of 7, alkaline water usually has a pH ranging from 8 to 9. This increased alkalinity is believed to have several health benefits, which has led to its growing popularity among health-conscious consumers.

Alkaline water contains alkaline minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium, and has a higher concentration of negative oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), which makes it rich in antioxidants. The presence of these minerals can help neutralize acid in the body, providing a wide range of potential health advantages.

Health Benefits of Drinking Alkaline Water

Advocates of alkaline water claim a variety of health benefits. Below are some of the potential advantages of regularly consuming alkaline water:

Balances the Body’s pH Levels: Our modern diets, which are often high in acidic foods, can lead to an acidic environment in the body. Alkaline water helps neutralize this acidity, promoting a healthier pH balance, which could potentially prevent the development of various chronic conditions.

Hydration: Alkaline water is believed to hydrate the body more efficiently than regular water. Its smaller molecular structure allows for quicker absorption, which is especially beneficial for athletes or individuals who lead an active lifestyle.

Rich in Antioxidants: Alkaline water has a high ORP, which can help to neutralize harmful free radicals in the body. Antioxidants are essential for reducing oxidative stress, which can lead to inflammation, aging, and various diseases.

Bone Health: Alkaline water contains essential minerals like calcium and magnesium that are crucial for maintaining bone density and overall bone health. By reducing acidity in the body, it may help in preserving bone mineral content.

Boosts Immune System: A balanced pH level in the body can enhance immune function, making it easier for the body to fight off infections and other illnesses.

Weight Loss: Alkaline water may aid in weight loss by neutralizing excess acidity in the body, promoting better digestion and metabolism.

Improves Skin Health: Regular consumption of alkaline water may also lead to improved skin hydration, elasticity, and overall complexion, as it helps to detoxify the body.

Shivering With Glee (Pregnancy Expansion)

The hawkish and skin-burning snow clamored furiously from a pale sky, the monstrous blizzard devouring the antediluvian frame of the ancient mountains of Theronya, the old dead reign of the titans of frozen water. Hail and ice shot down from the clouds, covering the peaks in a thick, unconquerable coat of white. From the thankfully sheltered balcony of her work station, the young Nisha observed the fierce precipitation while clutching the hem of her coat close, shivering a bit. Through her round glasses, she gave the working equipment a glare.

“G-Gosh, w-when are they gonna fix t-the heater…?”

Heaving herself away from the fenced window with her gloved hands, the student and scientist began a fast but thorough investigation of the different gadgets they had been using in their research, the probing tubes, the lamps, the bottles and foul-smelling chemicals which they had spent their entire day in pouring onto all kinds of crystals and minerals. She even found a pot of acid left opened that had literally frozen into sickly yellow ice. “Agh, Irem must have left it here…” She grabbed the recipient, and threw it through the window.

The reason why they had crawled up into such a hostile and harsh territory, to stay in a freezing cold room (to put it in perspective, literal icicles formed on the ceiling) and keep on doing weird procedures with strangely-shaped bottles and tubes, was that Nisha and her lab partner, Irem, were both, by petition of the national university, looking into the whereabouts of a long-extinct species, whose name the human race poorly translated into ‘Freezard’. These creatures, from which they had no register except for a few excerpts from engravings on the remains of enormously complex and delicately crafted cities in the ice, and a couple discoveries of eerily-shaped bones of never-before-seen qualities, such as staying uncomfortably warm even after thousands of years.

The investigations had been rather fruitful, and a lot had been discovered about Freezards, like their most basic biology. From the extracted intel, these furry creatures fed on the very rocks that surrounded them, and, to survive in the extreme cold, their organs and fluids were constantly boiling hot, their stocky, barely humanoid bodies being essentially walking furnaces.

Irem’s eyes drove up to Nisha when she came into the living room, the redhead peeling down his cloth mask from the nose to reveal his smiling mouth. “Oh, here you are! Finished already?” He spoke, with his light Germanic accent.

“Yeah, everything’s closed.” The dark-skinned girl approached the middle of the room, in which they had planted an aberrant contraption made out of tubes and metallic barrels, which emitted an almost constant source of heat so the frostbite wouldn’t come and make things worse. “A bottle of acid got spoiled, but I think we have another one of those… Also, uh, any news on the heater?”

“Nope. Unfortunately, they think that coming up here to replace it would be pointless…” Irem let out a long, drawn-out sigh. “Thankfully, we have a lot of fuel for the machine…”

As she sat down next to the uneven piece of junk that was most probably keeping them alive, Nisha carefully removed the fluffy hood of her coat, her curly natural black hair bursting out in a massive afro style. “Ah… G-Gosh, that hood was getting annoying.” The woman, of dark, shiny skin and amber eyes, adjusted her glasses as her partner handed her a little cup of warm milkshake. “T-Thank you…” She gave Irem a little smirk, as she took a sip.

“So… Anyways, we’re getting back home soon, right?” The boy changed the topic, reaching up to besides the machinery, where two metallic cans had been heating up some soup inside them.

“Yup.” Nisha nodded, adjusting her dark blue coat. “In around two weeks, I think.”

With a piece of cloth, Irem grabbed the two cans, and poured their steaming content onto two ceramic bowls. “Oh, that’s sweet! I’m dying to get out of this hole, honestly.” He carefully handed one of them to his buddy. “Here. Careful, it’s reeeeal hot.”

A few minutes passed, as both of them began to calmly eat. The piping hot broth was a lifesaver in such a hostile and dangerously cold environment, and Nisha couldn’t help herself from giving a little groan in pleasure as the meaty taste of the soup filled up her mouth, patting her flat belly through the fabric of the coat. “M-Mhmmm! It’s as good as ever!” She reassured him, doing a little gesture with the wooden spoon in her hand. “A-Although it’s a little bit too salty for my taste… Did you put anything different in it?”

“Yeah, remember those weird salt crystals we found?” Irem replied. “Apparently, they can be used as a stronger substitute to sodium chloride.”

“Or salt.”

“U-Uh, yeah. I was just speaking in proper terms…” He continued with a rosy tint on his cheeks. It was usual for the man to try his hand at speaking with bigger words in order to try and gain the respect of his peers (as he often wasn’t taken seriously). His efforts often fell flat.

“Well… You washed the crystals well enough, right?” She muttered, a bit hesitant to take another spoonful into her mouth. “We don’t want to catch anything, and animals could have peed on them, and stuff.”

“Oh, of course. I gave them a long soak.”

With the little clink of wood against ceramic, Nisha sighed in bliss, placing the little empty bowl onto the white tiles of the floor. “Ha… That was pretty good, Irem. I’ll make dinner tomorrow.” She rose up from her seat, nodding, before suddenly placing a hand on her chest. Her partner looked at her with puzzled eyes. “O-Oh… I-I’m feeling a little winded.”

“U-Uh, you must be tired from all the running around…” A bit sheepishly, Irem got up on his feet and put a hand to her shoulder. Even through the filling of the coat, her body was a bit heated up. Perhaps she had caught something and had developed a fever? “L-Look, go and rest for today, you had a long day… I’ll take care of the remaining stuff, alright…?”

…

Nisha sat up on the little shared bed, a poorly assembled foldable hammock for two people, her chest rising up and down as she loudly panted, pearls of sweat running down her entire body. Her eyes went to the small makeshift thermometer hanging from a nail on the humid wall. Despite the temperature being so ridiculously low that the device couldn’t show it properly, she felt her entire being uncomfortably warm. “S-Shit, I-I’m gonna boil… I-I gotta, ugh…” She mumbled incoherently, zipping her coat down so she could remove it.

The woman stood up, heaving herself from the bedding. Having removed her long coat, she revealed the simple striped jacket and loose combat trousers she was attired in underneath them, all of that below the zeroes. “H-Ha… Ha… H-Ha, w-what’s wrong…?” She breathed out shakily, zipping her jacket down a bit, blushing incredibly deep as she showed quite a bit of cleavage of her actually rather generous bosom.

And, all out of a sudden, she heard a gurgle.

It was but a moment, a quick succession of thoughts after what seemed to be an alien sound coming from somewhere around her. A low, filtered groan, like a shy beast timidly grunting from behind a wall. “O-Ooof…” She whimpered, as she felt an uneasy tightness around the zone of her low midsection. A hesitant hand carefully hovered over it, expecting to feel nothing but the nearby air…

But instead, it was met with the touch of the tender flesh of her bulging abdomen.

A double take later, Nisha’s eyes widened. Her numbed perception wasn’t lying to her. Her stomach was actually pushing outwards a little bit, stretching the fabric of her jacket ever so slightly, and giving her the appearance of having a small bloated potbelly after a satisfying meal. She doubtfully poked it, feeling the rather firm skin. And, almost as in an angry reply, her belly replied with a short growl.

She budged the wooden door open with a creek, as calmly as she could considering the many possible outcomes of the apparent situation, some scarier than others. Parasites, thankfully, were out of the question, since no creature that needed the particular living conditions of another being’s innards could manage to survive in such a hawkish environment. Bloating due to food consumption? Uncertain. Magical implications and unstable influences into her body? Too outlandish to be likely. Intestinal disorders, indigestion, swallowing air…

“O-Or even pregnancy…” She muttered to herself, as she walked through the half-frozen science kitchen. Of course, she stifled a chuckle, finding the sole idea of being pregnant utterly laughable. Strangely, most of the heat incoming from her weakened body had its source in her abdomen, as it…

Her mind’s musings were suddenly interrupted as she glared down to her abdomen. From the last moment she had laid eyes on it, around two minutes prior, the already kind of round curve of her swell had literally slumped outwards, stretching the taut fabric of her jacket to an uncomfortable level, a kickball caught inside her clothing imitating a bulging expectant venter. At the flick of a feather, all of the earlier calculations were instantly gone. In one-hundred and twenty literal seconds, her expanded abdomen had undergone inflation from barely the size of a peach to almost a pumpkin hanging from her stomach.

And, if her eyes didn’t deceive her… It was still growing and pushing as she pondered.

“Oh, hi, Nis-“

The moment he walked into the room, his shoulders and the top of his head covered in a fine dressing of snow, accumulated from the work outside, Irem’s jaw dropped, his hand almost dropping the pickaxe he held. “E-Eh?! N-Nisha, w-what’s happened to y-you?!” He began to panic, his voice shooting up a couple octaves as the most jumpy side of his personality rose to the skin.

The woman approached him, a hand placed on her lower back and other cupping the underside of her constantly expanding middle, an uncomfortable gesture and a deep fluster conjuring an amusing expression on her face. “I-I don’t… I-I don’t know…” She whispered, although her voice seemed much calmer and more composed than the redhead’s.

“A-And I think t-they’re even kicking…”

“K-KICKING?!! A-AS IN…?!!”

His gaze darted down to the girl’s growing mound of a stomach, which had now managed to reach a size that wouldn’t be out of place in a twin pregnancy. He could even see the outline of a protruding belly button against the taxed and agonizing fabric of her jacket… Through which he could also see a few bumps, forming on the surface as whatever made Nisha’s womb its home was beginning to wake.

“B-Bring me… S-Some water… A-And any b-books on creatures we may have around here…”

…

Thirstily pulling her fifth metallic bottle of cold, fresh water to her plump lips, the woman ravenously guzzled down the liquid as if to fill her belly, which, judging by the sounds emitting from its insides and the way it wobbled and jiggled with every movement of hers, was already to the brim with amniotic liquid. Sitting on the icy floor with seemingly no issue thanks to her searing body heat, her already humongous stomach, a perfect sphere that had proved it impossible to slide the zipper down, meaning its expanding girth was condemned to forever struggle against the cloth… Or maybe not, considering the quivering mass had already surpassed the strength of the stitches on the sides, slowly being pulled apart with its unstoppable growth.

“H-Hah!” She let out a relieved gasp as she finally satisfied her dry throat and burning body, placing a hand on the side of her abdomen, feeling its tightness and firmness through the attire, panting like a destroyed athlete with each powerful kick causing the entire shape of her venter to shift and turn, along with loud churning noises like she was digesting a brick. “S-So, Irem… A-Anything else…?”

The nervous boy searched through the old pages of a dusty tome, reading some of the entries with the particular ‘Parasitic’ tag. “N-No, I-I don’t think so… A-And that’s the last book…”

“G-Great.” The woman mustered a single word, holding onto her belly. “S-So, for now… W-We know I’m safe. I-It’s not any kind of parasitical creature…” She huffed, fanning herself with her hand as her jacket finally began to give up, the stuck zipper slider suddenly popping out like a dangerous projectile, her lips letting out a relieved moan as her womb ballooned out a couple feet with a roaring gurgle, and the iron chain being ripped apart by the hulking behemoth. “H-Ha… H-Hah… I-Irem, h-help me get it off…”

A rosy blush completely taking over his face, her colleague nodded hesitantly, reaching down to the torn garb and forcefully pulling on it along with Nisha. Carefully, the strained clothing went off in uneven shreds, revealing the scientist’s swollen body. At this point, Irem’s face was indistinguishable from a Theronyan tomato.

Nisha, quite a bit flushed too, gently wrapped her arms around her quivering stomach, which, free of its shackles, had reached such a size that it was utterly impossible for her hands to even reach further than halfway in its curve. A massive dome of dark brown skin kissed by the sun, glistening with sweat, a fragile monument to fertility crowned by a protruding navel, beneath which an entire ocean of warm fluids and squirming life swam along. As if desiring to complete the combination, her before sizable bust had literally jutted out, two full and immense planetoids of fat and milk that pushed further than her comfortable bra could stand.

As with a last growth spurt the girl’s constantly warping womb became so spacious that Irem could have fitted inside it had he wanted to (and he was almost a head and a half taller than his lab partner), its expanding slowly came to an end, and the burning heat coming from the inside of her body receded quite a bit, leaving just a warm sensation coming from her guts. What was left was an incredibly heavily pregnant woman, sitting down on the bare floor, panting and breathing as she grabbed her colossal, permanently shifting stomach.

“M-My god… Hah… Ha…” Nisha huffed. “I-It’s… F-Finally stopped, I think…” Her stretched arms plopped on its round, groaning grandness.

Without even batting an eye, and apparently without even noticing himself, the redhead placed his hands on the sides of the girl’s belly, the warm, firm flesh accommodating his fingers like a tightly packed water balloon, ready to pop at any given moment. “E-Eeep!” Nisha yelped, her eyes widening. “W-What are you doing, Irem?”

Irem jumped in place, pulling his hands away like the orb stung him. “A-Ah, s-sorry! I-It came out of instinct, I-I’m so sorry!” He hurriedly apologized.

The woman’s lips curved into a soft and understanding smile, an adorable giggle peeking out as she tucked a bit of her poofy hair behind her ear. “I-It’s okay…” She muttered, adjusting her glasses as she patted the side of her stomach. “You just surprised me a bit… A-Although actually…”

Heaving on her own massively increased weight, Nisha futilely tried to get herself up from the floor, only to once again fall on her cushioned butt. “U-Ugh…” She blushed deeply, looking up at her partner, and pursing her lips a bit as she squirmed in place. “Y-You know i-it’s okay if you touch it, right…?” She poked her belly with one of her fingers, to emphasize her point.

“R-Really…?” The young man mumbled, trying to speak through the awful bashfulness. “T-Then… I-If you’re okay with it…” He, with the utmost care of an artist doing fine work on a precious statue of untouched glass, afraid that it could break down at any moment, lovingly placed his hands on the shiny dark skin, shyly feeling every inch of the imposing curve he could manage to reach. So packed full of babies, stuffed to the point of nigh-explosion, so fragile, and yet so resistant… Of course, his instincts as a man drove his eyes to the two tightly encased spheres of squishy flesh that hung from the girl’s chest, but his barely civilized and coherent mind was stronger than his needs. For that, he had already brought himself some magazines.

“Y-You seem to really like it…” She snickered, sliding her hand up and down whatever she could reach of the enormous curve. “I-Is it really that nice?”

His head jerking upwards in a sudden movement, Irem replied with an incoherent stammer, shaking his hands from side to side as he spoke nervously. “I-I-It’s not that I like it! I-It’s not that! I-It’s just… E-Er… I-I find it interesting!”

Nisha let out a portentous laugh, her loudly gurgling venter jiggling a bit at her gesture. “Hahaha! Is that the best explanation you have?”

“U-Uh… E-Eh…”

“Mhm? C’mon, spit it out!” She teased him, grinning enthusiastically in amusement.

“I-I LIKE PREGNANT WOMEN, OKAY?!”

“Hahaha! You sure do, bu-“ The woman suddenly stopped in her tracks. “W-Wait.”

“I-I’m sorry, I-I really didn’t mean to say that… I-I’m sorry, I understand if-“

Without even paying it a single second of attention, Nisha placed a hand on the lower part of her strained back, her thick and fattened up legs shakily rising up from the floor, her monstrously gravid abdomen wobbling and hanging around like a grandfather clock’s pendulum, and rapidly waddled, as best as her tons of flesh and baby and fluid allowed her to, towards one of the shelves packed with old, dusty books. Her hand took hold of a little diary. The one in which they jotted down every single new discovery they did of the Freezard.

The pink coloration of his cheeks still washing away ever so slightly, Irem followed after her, his eyes attentive yet nervous about what idea the woman could have had. “U-Um… N-Nisha, what’s wrong?”

“The Freezard…” She mumbled silently, her entire venter budging to one side as a strong kick momentarily took her breath out. “M-Mhm… T-They reproduced in a really weird way.” Her finger pointed at one of the torn and yellowish pages of the tome, showcasing two sketches of what they imagined a Freezard to be, a small and pudgy, furry white creature, surrounding a blue crystal with some poorly scribbled dots on top. “The males created the eggs, and then laid them on edible crystals…”

With every word she mustered, it all made sense. The puzzle pieces slowly and steadily connected with each other in the intelligent girl’s head, her hand hesitantly descending down to her swollen abdomen as she continued to read off the pages.

“A-And the females consumed the crystals…” Eyebrows rising upwards, eyes opening wide.

“And gestated the future generation… Within…”

A second of silence.

“W-Wait, does that mean that…?” Irem joined in, a puzzled expression on his face.

“I-Irem!” She lifted up her arms, wearing a bright and childish smile. “I-Irem! T-Those crystals you salted the food with! Those crystals had Freezard eggs in them!”

The redhead suddenly pulled his hands to his abdomen, panicking. “D-Does that mean I’m pregnant too?!”

“N-No, idiot!” Nisha giggled. “You don’t have a womb where they can grow.” She glared down at the titanic dome of turning flesh that her stomach had become. “B-But…”

“W-We’re literally resuscitating an extinct species…” Her arms carefully went around the whole of her venter, lovingly cradling it. “S-So… That’s why I was so warm… Wow, I suddenly feel a lot better about being more belly than woman…”

…

“... D-Does that mean I can touch it?”

“We’ll see. For now, gimme something to drink that doesn’t have crystals inside, please. I’m carrying the future of an entire race!” The girl smiled smugly.

Softgel Capsule Manufacturing: A Comprehensive Approach by Sahasrayogam

Softgel capsules have become an essential part of modern pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries due to their ease of consumption, precise dosage, and superior bioavailability. At Sahasrayogam, we take pride in our advanced softgel capsule manufacturing process, which adheres to the highest quality standards, ensuring that every capsule delivers optimal benefits to the consumer.

What Are Softgel Capsules?

Softgel capsules, often referred to as soft gelatin capsules, are single-piece, gelatin-based shells that contain a liquid, semi-solid, or paste-like substance. Unlike traditional tablets or hard capsules, softgels offer several advantages, such as:

Enhanced bioavailability: Softgels allow for faster absorption of active ingredients, delivering results more efficiently.

Consumer-friendly design: Their smooth, easy-to-swallow texture makes them a preferred option for people who have difficulty swallowing tablets.

Precise dosage: Each softgel capsule contains an exact amount of active ingredient, ensuring accurate dosage without variability.

The Softgel Manufacturing Process at Sahasrayogam

At Sahasrayogam, we follow a rigorous, scientifically backed process to manufacture high-quality softgel capsules. Our state-of-the-art facility is equipped with advanced technology and staffed by experts in pharmaceutical manufacturing. The process involves several key steps:

Formulation Development: The manufacturing process begins with the precise formulation of the fill material, which can include oils, vitamins, minerals, and other active ingredients. Our formulation scientists work closely with clients to ensure that the softgel contents are optimized for bioavailability and stability.

Gelatin Preparation: Softgel capsules are made using a gelatin-based outer shell. At Sahasrayogam, we use only the highest quality gelatin, which can be customized to meet specific dietary needs, such as vegetarian or halal certifications. The gelatin is carefully heated and mixed with plasticizers and water to create a smooth, malleable substance ready for encapsulation.

Encapsulation: During the encapsulation process, the prepared gelatin shell is molded and filled simultaneously with the active ingredients. Our cutting-edge encapsulation machines ensure that each softgel is filled with the exact dosage, maintaining uniformity and precision throughout the batch.

Drying and Curing: After encapsulation, the softgel capsules undergo a drying process to remove excess moisture and solidify the gelatin shell. The drying process is carefully monitored to ensure that the capsules retain their shape and integrity. Depending on the formulation, some capsules may also go through a curing stage to enhance their stability.

Quality Control: At Sahasrayogam, quality is at the core of everything we do. Our softgel capsules go through multiple rounds of testing, including checks for weight, uniformity, disintegration time, and potency of active ingredients. Each batch is subjected to rigorous testing to meet international quality standards.

Packaging and Distribution: Once the softgel capsules pass all quality control checks, they are packaged in tamper-proof, airtight containers to maintain freshness and potency. We offer a variety of packaging options, from blister packs to bottles, depending on client needs. Sahasrayogam ensures timely distribution, so your products are delivered promptly and in excellent condition.

Why Choose Sahasrayogam for Softgel Capsule Manufacturing?

At Sahasrayogam, we bring decades of expertise and innovation to the table. Here are a few reasons why clients trust us for their softgel capsule manufacturing needs:

Cosmetics: Certain cosmetic ingredients, such as essential oils and vitamins, are encapsulated in softgels to provide skin and hair care benefits.

Conclusion

At Sahasrayogam, our commitment to quality, innovation, and customization makes us a trusted partner in softgel capsule manufacturing.

Concerns Over Tap Water Quality: In many regions, concerns about the safety and quality of tap water have led consumers to turn to bottled water as a reliable and safe source of hydration. Issues such as contamination, aging infrastructure, and unpleasant taste or odor of tap water contribute to the increased demand for bottled water.

Convenience and Portability: The convenience of bottled water, which is readily available in various sizes and packaging, makes it a popular choice for on-the-go hydration. Whether for travel, outdoor activities, or daily commutes, the portability of bottled water appeals to busy lifestyles and the need for quick, easy access to clean drinking water.

Rising Demand for Premium and Functional Waters: The market is experiencing growth in the premium segment, where consumers are willing to pay more for bottled water that offers additional benefits, such as natural spring water, mineral-rich water, or products infused with vitamins, electrolytes, or flavors. This trend towards premiumization is driven by consumers seeking not just hydration but also added health benefits.

Expansion of Urbanization and Infrastructure: Urbanization and the development of modern retail infrastructure, particularly in emerging markets, have made bottled water more accessible to a larger population. The rise of supermarkets, convenience stores, and vending machines has increased the availability of bottled water, contributing to its widespread consumption.

Certifications and partnerships with environmental organizations may become more prevalent as companies seek to differentiate themselves through their commitment to sustainability.

Growth of Online and Direct-to-Consumer Sales: The rise of e-commerce and direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales is expected to continue impacting the bottled water market. Subscription services for bottled water delivery, particularly for premium or functional waters, are likely to grow as consumers seek convenience and personalized product offerings. Online platforms also provide an opportunity for brands to engage directly with consumers, offering customization options and building brand loyalty through digital experiences.

Health and Wellness Marketing: Marketing strategies in the bottled water industry are expected to increasingly emphasize health and wellness benefits. As consumers prioritize their health, brands will continue to highlight the importance of hydration, the unique benefits of specific water types, and the role of water in overall well-being. This focus on health will likely drive further product innovation, particularly in functional and enhanced water categories.

Impact of Global Events on Consumption Patterns: Global events, such as pandemics or climate-related challenges, may influence consumption patterns in the bottled water market. For example, increased awareness of health and hygiene during a pandemic could boost demand for bottled water as a safe and reliable hydration option.

Establishing a water bottling plant can be a lucrative venture, but it requires thorough planning and execution. This article will guide you through the essential steps to create a comprehensive water bottling plant business plan.

Understanding the Water Bottling Plant Business

Each type caters to different market segments, so it's important to identify your target audience early on.

Market Research and Feasibility Study

Before diving into the water bottling business, conducting market research is crucial. Understanding the local demand, identifying potential competitors, and analyzing market trends will help you position your brand effectively. A feasibility study should also cover legal and regulatory requirements, ensuring your business complies with industry standards.

Business Plan Components

Your business plan should serve as a roadmap for your water bottling venture. Start with an executive summary that outlines your business idea, objectives, and the vision you have for your company. Follow this with a mission statement that reflects your commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

Choosing the Right Location

Location is a critical factor in the success of your water bottling plant. You need to choose a site that is close to your water source, yet accessible for distribution purposes. Consider factors like transportation infrastructure, proximity to your target market, and the availability of utilities.

Water Source and Quality Assurance

The source of your water plays a significant role in the quality of your final product. Whether you choose spring water, well water, or municipal water, it must undergo rigorous filtration and treatment processes to meet health and safety standards. Quality assurance is essential, as it directly impacts your brand's reputation and customer trust.

Required Equipment for a Water Bottling Plant

Investing in the right equipment is crucial for efficient operations. The Water Bottle Filling Machine is the heart of your bottling plant.

Production Process of Bottled Water

The production process in a water bottling plant involves several stages, starting with water purification. Once the water is purified, it is ready to be bottled using a Mineral Water Bottle Filling Machine. This machine ensures that each bottle is filled to the correct level with minimal waste. After filling, the bottles are capped, labeled, and packaged for distribution. The Mineral Water Bottle Making Machine is also integral to this process, as it produces the bottles used for packaging.

You'll need technicians trained to operate and maintain Water Bottle Filling Machines, as well as workers to manage the production line, quality control, and logistics. Implementing proper training programs and safety protocols is essential to prevent accidents and ensure smooth operations.

Cost Estimation and Budget Planning

Setting up a water bottling plant involves significant capital investment. Your budget should account for the cost of machinery, including the Water Bottle Filling Machine, land acquisition, construction, and operational expenses. A detailed financial plan will help you secure funding and manage your finances effectively.

Marketing and Sales Strategy

Your marketing strategy should focus on building a strong brand that resonates with your target audience. This involves creating a unique brand identity, developing attractive packaging, and establishing a presence in retail outlets and online platforms. Consider partnering with distributors to expand your reach and implementing a competitive pricing strategy to attract customers.

Sustainability and Environmental Considerations

As concerns about plastic waste grow, it's important to incorporate sustainable practices into your business model. This could include using eco-friendly packaging, reducing water wastage during production, and implementing recycling programs. Adopting sustainable practices not only benefits the environment but also appeals to environmentally-conscious consumers.

Risk Management and Challenges

Like any business, the water bottling industry has its challenges. These may include fluctuating raw material costs, regulatory changes, and competition from established brands. Developing a risk management plan will help you anticipate potential issues and implement strategies to mitigate them.

Conclusion

Starting a water bottling plant is a complex but rewarding venture. With careful planning, investment in quality equipment like the Water Bottle Filling Machine, and a commitment to quality, you can build a successful business.
