And while she was in the middle of having the heart attack in April, first responders didn’t think she was in cardiac arrest either.
After weeks of watching digital fitness influencers swallow heaping tablespoons of pre-workout — a non-Food and Drug Administration regulated, caffeinated substance that athletes typically mix with water and drink before exercising in order to improve their endurance, stamina and focus — Portillo decided to give it a try.
“It wasn’t for clout,” the exotic dancer insisted. “I didn’t even record myself doing it. I just wanted energy to work out.”

Mama was a contestant on Wheel of Fortune. “Pat, I’d like to buy a vowel.”
A train wreck looking to be backed over by the locomotive.
Her ticker tocked its last tick.
Every human activity seems to be on the Internet, and the circus sideshow and dumb stunts are no exception.
“After weeks of watching digital fitness influencers swallow heaping tablespoons of pre-workout...”
Monkey see, monkey do. That is the prime motivation that runs the world.
Why do so many people post so many mirror images? Do they really not notice that the writing is backwards?
“WTH kind of name is ‘Briatney’?”
Maybe a transitioning name? Brian -> Brittney?
Anglicized version of Russian name “Blyatney.”
These dumbass kids are going to get pre-workout powder banned, just like they got my precious ephedrine banned.
