The 22:00 can · the shift starts
22:00 VişneSour cherry
Tart and dark, like the sour cherries sold by the kilo in June, with the faint almond of the stone. The strongest can we make.

Most of the city is going home. The kiosk has just put the kettle on.
On duty at 22:00

The dose
80 mg at 22:00. About 20.6 mg at 08:00.
Drunk at 22:00, it is in you within the hour — the peak is about 47 minutes in, 71.8 mg — and then it leaves at the pace your liver sets. By 08:00, when you are meant to be asleep, 20.6 mg is left: 1.0 glasses of çay.
80 mg is the rule's dose for this hour (77.6 mg) rounded to the nearest 10. At 32 mg/100 ml it is over the EU's 150 mg/l line, so the can carries the high-caffeine wording.

The label, unrolled
All 166 millimetres of it.
The hour is bare aluminium — no ink — which is why it flashes when the can turns. Round the shoulder runs a dial with this can's hour at the front. The side carries its own dose curve; the back carries the ingredients, the nutrition table, the EU wording and a barcode whose check digit is computed.

From the GS1 restricted range (20–29), so an invented product can never collide with a real one. The last digit is computed: the first twelve weighted 1, 3, 1, 3… sum to 87; 87 + 3 is a multiple of ten.
