Isn’t this just four loko
6.5 instead of 12-13 %. Probably less caffeine too, idk how much is/was in either but these are legal and the original four loko isn’t anymore so something changed.

no caffeine
Tragic, they decided to be Icarus except a 737 max version that automatically descends when too close to the sun.
Four loko (the extra fuck you up recipe) had some other drug besides caffeine in it back in the day. Forget which one. This is merely a simulacra
guarana probably.
That's what BAWLZ soda had in it and that shit was like speed in a can
Isn't guarana just a plant that contains caffeine and caffeine metabolites like theobromine (which are also ingredients in energy drinks, as well AFAIK stuff that just naturally occurs in coffee and tea too). So realistically that should be getting counted in the caffeine listing for total mgs, if that's determined with actual lab analysis and not just a rough guess based on how much caffeine powder is added. Something having "guarana extract" in it is meaningfully the same as it having "coffee bean extract" or "tea leaf extract," it just sounds exotic because guarana isn't traditionally brewed into drinks in north america or europe (but it is in south america).
