I think the energy drink market has been completely and thoroughly mined.
I’m going to come out with one that has TEN GRAMS of caffeine in it. You Will Rocket Into Space! (and then die). And 5% gasoline (which is what they all taste like).
Monster Java tastes good.
I’m still a cocaine and jolt enthusiast.
Reminder: Stock up on Sparks before current inventories are depleted!!
As far as I can tell, the laws governing which recreational chemicals are legal mostly shakes out like this:
If there is more money to be made from selling the legal version (say charging three dollars for caffeinated sugar-water, or selling the patented prescription wonder-drug Marinol™) then it’s legal. If there is money to be made in keeping it illegal (say anything you can grow in your yard) it’s a Schedule 1 Controlled Substance. The big obvious exception is alcohol, which is why the second time around they re-branded Prohibition as the War On Drugs™ and made sure that organized crime could continue to fund its operations through sales indefinitely without any pesky public outcry or common sense getting in the way.

@2:
As a reference, NoDoz pills have 200mg of caffiene.
You would have to take 50 NoDoz to get the same amount of caffiene as one bottle of NoS.
Take into account all the other shit in that bottle. Its frightening.
So long as they sell them in compostable containers like the ones they sell Coke in at the UW, I’m ok with that.
A family member got a 6 pack of “mana potion” energy drinks at Christmas.
Vitamin b12 isn’t really harmful, but just seeing a nutrional label like this isn’t so comforting:

a fascist country doesn’t legalize recreational drugs.
Dominic, surely you realize that the kind of high you get from lots of caffeine and sugar is entirely different from smoking weed. You can’t really expect us to believe that people who drink these energy drinks are trying to find a replacement for sweet, sweet bud which has cruelly been denied them by The Law. A lot of the people who drink this kind of carbonated ass do it for the effects of caffeine, particularly the increased alertness.
In fact, I would go so far as to say nearly all people who drink ‘energy drinks’ do it to hopefully feel like they have more energy.
@8: The 10mg figure was for #2’s genius plan to destroy the world.
The front label states 343 mg of caffiene per 22 Oz bottle. A little more reasonable.
@writer: I don’t think kids these days even realize that the car NOS is laughing gas NO2. The drug is so hard to come by(for cheap) and control dosage that it is not very well known.
