I’ll stick to coffee, I think it’s good for you this week. Next week, who knows?
I wonder how Clint Bowyer feeels driving the 5-hour energy race car in nascar. a ride is a ride I reckun. He sure got spontaneously aborted by Jeff Gordon last week-end at Phoenix.
First they came for the ephedrine...
Most dietary supplements are full of crap. Stick to good food and you don’t need to supp.
They’re sold all over military bases.
What’s even worse is that “nobody really knows what’s going on...” about a whole lot more then 5-hr energy nowadys.
Putting a “This S-— can kill you, Yo!” on the bottle would probably boost sales.
What about Brawndo?
Spontaneous abortions? Oh great. Just one more thing single females are going to want for free.
I stopped drinking any of that stuff a couple of years ago when I had an energy drink and my heart went into overdrive. Nope, not gonna do it again, never never never.
Things aren’t always as they’re reported to be. I wouldn’t be surprised to find that the reason these products “cause” heart attacks and spontaneous abortions is that the people using them aren’t getting enough rest and/or sleep.
Look for their new ad spokesperson to be Sandra Fluke.
Take a high dose B-Complex capsule and wash it down with a double espresso plus 5 sugars for a similar (and cheaper) effect
My personal feeling about a lot of stimulants has been, use them for the effect, because they’re a treat for that occasion. I for one have a cup of coffee, and keep it limited to that, then, I also limit nighttime caffeine unless I am driving home or doing something where falling asleep would kill me. I try to use things in moderation if you will. Now, I don’t agree with the idea of not having any caffeine at all, but at the same time, I probably would just say that anything taken to excess can be dangerous, even distilled water.
Honestly..those numbers aren’t that high. If 5 hour energy commercials are accurate and there are five million users per week, those numbers of deaths don’t really make statistical significance except to trial lawyers looking for another corporation to steal from.
Looking at Fluke DRAINS me of energy.
Let the lawsuits begin! There’s a ton of corrupt lawyers out there drooling over the money they will make from suing a company when people abuse their product.
“Spontaneous abortions”...or, as Democrats call it, “clearing up an infection.”
The strongest one I ever had is called Redline. I drank it and went to the gym. I was lifting, my face got hot, my heart pounded, and I felt dizzy. I was only bench pressing. I can only imagine if I was running. Needless to say, I left the gym...never again is right.
