Yarrr, scurvy!

So at work we get bottled water delivered, but they also bring in these "Super C" powder vitamin supplements. You're supposed to put the powder in some water, mix, and drink your way to 1670% of your daily required vitamin C intake. I kinda like them, so I mixed in two to my large water bottle. My coworkers then convinced me to add another packet, and finally they snuck a fourth in there as well. So now I'm looking at a bottle of 6680% of my daily vitamin C intake.

A quick Yahoo search turned up the effects of vitamin C overdoses: upset stomach, nausea, and diarrhea. Nice.
