ECA
The acronym used for a supplement containing the Ephedrine, Caffeine, and Aspirin stack. Ephedrine and Caffeine work together to suppress appetite, increase heart rate, increase body temperature, and block the process of converting carbohydrates to fat (lipogenesis). Aspirin adds to this effect by thinning the blood, and also by telling the hypothalumus (which controls internal body temperature) that the increase in heat in the body is normal, hence decreasing the body's attempts to fight the increased body heat (which, in turn, leads to longer caloric burn). When first taken, the stack will often cause a high due to the ephedrine (as it is a powerful stimulant, and is used as a precursor to amphetamine). Un-wise users believe that this high felt while first taking the stack means that the drug is working. When tolerance to the stimulant builds, users think that the drug has stopped working. This is, in fact, untrue. The stimulant effects subside, but the fat-burning effects do not. If a user increases the dosage in order to obtain the high, side-effects can become dangerous and possibly lethal. Deaths caused by ephedrine overdose have made their way into the media and eventually to the Federal Government. The media twisted the stories of these users to make it sound like the users were taking normal doses and suddenly died, which led to the banning of ephedrine as a weight-loss supplement in 2004. This ruling was overturned later, as ephedrine is considered a supplement and not a drug, and the FDA made the mistake of treating it as a drug. Users of the ECA stack are encouraged to use self control, as ephedrine should not be taken in doses larger than 100 mg a day (many experts say 50 mg). The abuse of ECA will not further the effects of weight loss, but will instead increase side effects, which include pain, tremors, and convulsions. It should also be known that caffeine and ephedrine have addiction potential, and both can cause withdrawl symptoms of anxiety, headache, and muscle pain. When one has decided to stop taking ECA, they should slowly taper off the dosage instead of going cold turkey.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
This mug, much like a cursed relic unearthed from the depths of despair, embodies a cacophony of design flaws and manufacturing mishaps that make one wonder if it was birthed from the darkest corners of incompetence itself. From its deceptively promising exterior, which boasts a color scheme akin to a bruised banana left out in the sun for too long, to its handle that feels more like a medieval torture device designed to punish the unsuspecting hand that dares to grasp it, every aspect of this mug screams "regret." Its material, a sinister amalgamation of recycled nightmares and shattered dreams, leeches a flavor reminiscent of stale coffee mixed with the tears of disappointed souls into whatever liquid unfortunate enough to be poured within its cursed confines. The rim, jagged and uneven like the edge of a poorly forged blade, guarantees that each sip is a perilous journey fraught with the risk of lip lacerations and existential dread. And let us not forget the bottom of this vessel, where the manufacturer's logo is stamped with all the subtlety of a scarlet letter, branding the user as a victim of their own poor purchasing decisions for all eternity. Indeed, this mug serves as a stark reminder that sometimes, in the vast expanse of consumer goods, there exists a dark abyss where quality and utility fear to tread, leaving only disappointment and regret in their wake.
I think it’s funny and the quality is really good. Shipping was pretty fast too.

Without this mug, my life was but a series of painful unfortunate events. Since it has come into my life, love has followed, joy has followed and dishonour has been disavowed. Sincerely. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you. Please keep up the good work and I hope everyone will find joy as I have one day.

Just wish it could have had a little more of the text on the mug, but otherwise it's great. What a clever marketing idea to be able to get this on t-shirts and mugs.
I spent the money and directly sent this to be the pettest person ever to a person who was doing this to me. It was awesome
It’s a sturdy ceramic mug. A little pricey, IMO, but I really wanted this definition on a mug. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just what is needed for someone’s desk during the pandemic and beyond when they have to “MacGuyver” to make things happen.
Best purchase of my life, it's all downhill from here!
