    Complete ripoff, their making massive profit on these. It's some sugar, caffeine and flavoring in a tube. It should be about a dollar or 2 for the 5 tubes, not $9.



    You can buy 100, 200MG pills of Caffeine for $6 Canadian. https://www.svncanada.com/cart_product.php?id=1385&type=1



    Grind 5 pills up, mix it with some flavored sugar and stick it in a tube! Cost you about 16 cents a tube.

    Plus another $5.59 for shipping. Makes my 16 oz. $2.25 SBUX iced coffee seem reasonable. (And I'll still look like an adult while getting my fix.)

    @iEro-Sennin: It sorta scares me that 4 out of the first 6 comments on this article (that show up, damn comment elitists) are about crack/coke/meth. Either people arn't feeling terribly original today, or a lot more of giz's readership are closet drug addicts than I previously assumed.

    They should make them in flavors like espresso, hazelnut, cinnamon, caramel, and vanilla. Then, you could make a Jet Fuel latte with a triple shot of espresso and pour one in.



    I'd pay money for that.

    I remember when I was in a school for gifted kids with ADD and I used to buy warm cans of Jolt cola from a store for $.50 and sold them in school for $1 each. Nothing like a class full of ADD kids drinking Jolt.

    @KeepingTheForeName_GitEmSteveD...: I can't believe they haven't yet fixed this stupid bug where your message disappears if you click outside the textedit box! I'm not retyping it all, but the gist was, I prefer Mountain Dew, can't have caffeine under doctor's orders, and am jealous of Canadians for their caffeine-free non-cola drinks, eh.

    Why are my comments not showing up without "show all"?

    @CSX321: "can't have caffeine under doctor's orders" - If you can't have caffeine then you could perhaps have water? OR -

    @KeepingTheForeName_GitEmSteveD...: Actually, I've heard (read: may not be true), that caffeine will act to calm or focus children with ADD/ADHD. This is because it stimulates the brain, allowing it to process information better, and improves attention.
