      You can’t believe that people would want heroic doses of sugar and caffeine, two of the most available addictive substances on the market?

      Also a lot of people don’t like the taste of coffee or tea

      I’m basically the target audience for this and I’d never heard of it

      Agreed that it is a very weird product to just kinda… have

      Who is like: I really want a lemonade but I want it to have more caffeine than a redbull!

      It doesn’t have more caffeine than a red bull per unit volume. But yes, if you compare the largest size to one can of red bull it will win out. So will drinking a similar volume of coffee.

      And I’d guess the market for it is people who want coffee levels of caffeine but don’t like the taste of coffee or the citrus battery acid taste of energy drinks.
