dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in [email protected], it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Isn’t this just four loko

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

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.

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).
