Kinda dumb question but I figured it fits the sub lol
so these boxes are at my work and they’re a syrupy hyper sweet mixture that when combined with carbonated water make soda and it got me thinking:
why don’t they sell ones for like Monster energy?
is it because of the costs, or kids accessing it, or some law?
Bars usually have redbull dispensers around here. But as others have mentioned, caffeine in bulk can do damage. I once went to a gas station and they had energy drinks on tap. I’m had a 48oz energy drink with energy shots. I TALKED WITH CAPS LOCK ON FOR 4 DAYS NON-STOP.
Out of sheer idiocy I grabbed a can of a new energy drink and it had 300mg if caffeine. I normally drink 500ml of tea a day but that thing had me vibrating through walls 50% into the can.
500ml of black tea is going to be maybe 100mg if we’re generous, no wonder!
300mg is a lot at once, you can get more than that drinking an extra large coffee, but that’s super variable, don’t know how accurate this is
people can easily go over the recommended limit (400mg a day I think)
It’s usually sold as red bull, I.e. Someone orders a vodka red bull and they will give them vodka and that, but it’s some off brand shit in the guns, and they still charge like it’s a red bull. Pro tip, don’t order that shit if it comes out of a gun.
