All these Accarragm addicts! 
But seriously. If you top off your 200+ Accarragm shots with 3 bites of even modest Scrimpi, you don't need to buy the 400+ Accarragm. Scrimpi is a quickness buff food, which if made 33 filling, you can eat 3 of them, and stack up your quickness, and last 34 minutes or more.
Whoever said "you gotta eat" is half right. It's really "you gotta eat if you're gonna drink". 
I'm still handing out samples of Accarragm and Scrimpi to entertainers in the cantinas for minimal cost or even free. It's good PR, and a way to bump up awareness for these foods. Most often, the entertainers are very pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness of even modest action food creations.
So, remember, Scrimpi too!

I've only recent started using Accarragm as I've gone back to doing some dancing and mind buffing recently. I went and bought myself a reasonably good cratea while ago, 40 minutes of +350. Works just perfectly, and for I think 500c a shot not too bad a price, one drink and I can dance with pretty much no action drain at all, actually it goes up if I'm just dancing normally.
Using a flourish macro for when I buff people it does drain my action but a short break from flourishing between buffs soon sorts that out. Overall it's great stuff and I always keep a supply of it handy, the stuff I got is I think 21 uses per bottle so it lasts for ages and I consider it a great buy, though I can see how a pure dancer would find buying the good stuff a bit of a problem.
BTW on a side note, I just saw the +14 DME tape I was bidding on get bought out for 5M. The devs ought to prevent AFK mind buffing just to help bring the prices of these tapes down to a level that most dancers can contemplate affording.

In the cantina I frequent, the entertainers are completely addicted to accarragm. They're all hopped up. I'm just glad it's not a high calorie drink or they wouldn't fit into their hawtpants any more.
So yah, that stuff sells, if the entertainer can afford it.

My accarragm addiction is the reason I lost my home and now live in a tent. I've been on the wagon and off again so many times that the wagon finally broke down.
I'm thinking of starting Accarragm Anonymous. First meeting next week. Accarragm will be served, of course.

I also like Kiwik Clusjo Swirl which gives up to+375 to quickness and stamina for 14 minutes or so.

I found a real bargain today a crate of 25 x 18 use accaragm buffing for 217 for 40 minutes and only for 2k in credits. Works great as i pop one and then run the flourish 5 times /pause 8 secs macro for 3:40. This is almost to the second when my action bar depletes so i dont even have to time it now.

Sure sounds good, but at 750 base quickness, cost 300-500 a shot, I would need two and maybe the food also for my Twi'lek dancer/musician/entertainer. Not to mention it taking 4 slots in invent which is full of clothes and instruments and my trusted stim B. In my case I am probably better off with charming a Doc, or getting in line for a Quickness buff. Docs know that entertainers need quickness, many of them carry medium quickness buffs, we do not have need for the sky high ones they are selling most of the times.
But a great initiative! I wish I had more room in invent. LOL.

I used to drink Accaragm when I couldn't find a doc to get a proper quickness buff. Now I'm using Scrimpi. 33 filling, 42 min (with Twi'lik species duration bonus gives me 46 minutes so lasts long than the 45 min it takes my stomach to empty), and 340 boost to quickness. I usually take all 3 bites at a time, giving me quickness to flourish like mad and never loose any action. With 2 bites I can still buff, and for the most part not loose any action. But then I have a 1 use scrimpi hanging around in my inventory, which can be a problem as well. Most of the Accaragm I have seen is more in the 34-38 minutes so you can't use it continuously like I can with the Scrimpi, since you have to wait for your stomach to empty before you can double up on it again.
At least on Eclipse, 45 minutes is plenty of time to buff a bunch of people, allowing one to distribute the cost of the Scrimpi over multiple buffs.
Also, if they ever fix T'ssolok, using Scrimpi will have another advantage over Accaragm -- Scrimpi is food and thus won't complete with the T'ssolok, which is a drink. And a rather filling drink at that (>50 filling)...

Update: Picked up some cheap Accaragm, +168.
I tried two shots and the effect is amazing! I can do regular dancing and lighting effects without problem now, it really is much better than I had expected. I still will run out of action doing a fast dance buff with lighting effects if that is what the customers want, but at least I can dance/play as I please when not worrying about flourish spam for buffs.
