I remember getting a couple cases of Dew Fuel on clearance and it being pretty good. Then they replaced it with Mountain Dew with Bilbo Baggins which was undrinkably bad. (googled and its something called Ginkgo Bilboa. it made Mountain Dew taste terrible)

I think the law was something to the effect of, caffeine should not be in places where it's not expected to be naturally. So cola drinks were ok since cola nuts have caffeine but non-cola based pop couldn't have it. I didn't know they had repealed it.

I chugged that over the course of the day and couldn't sleep a wink. It turns out that their Cream Soda had caffeine in it. Who the gently caress puts caffeine in cream soda?

You heard it here first folks: Brian Pallister is going to hold a conference today with his arm around Chris sky and a smile saying everything will be ok as long as we follow the fundamentals. He will then lay off the entire healthcare sector so that when they are the opposition they can scream that health care is broken but if you privatize it everything will be fixed.

infernal machines posted:it did and it's pretty much directly responsible for the ban on light-coloured caffeinated drinks iirc For a while, since "energy drinks" had far less regulations on them here, companies would import all kinds of loving garbage from the US, add extra caffeine, and label them as Energy Drinks. I remember buying a novelty Duff Beer can from some mall kiosk, and it was considered an energy drink for no reason other than making it easier to put on the shelf up here. I also wish that companies would sell some of the energy drink flavours as just regular pop (take out the caffeine, taurine, b12, and all the other poo poo that rots your liver and pops your heart), since there are some truly delicious cans.

Can it taste the same without those ingredients? If you open a bottle of b vitamins you can really smell the b vitamins. Even a multivitamin has a strong b vitamin odour once you know how to recognise it. That could be part of the flavor of the drink.

There are millions of flavors. To make it taste exactly like Monster Khaos you would have to do some experimentation and mixing. They don't typically come with caffeine in them unless its cola flavor: https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=torani+syrup&crid=ZTHM7TTFCQGI

Thanks for the tip, I'm pretty sure there's a store nearby that sells stuff like that, maybe I can find a good alternative.

That didn't happen, instead the province said "gently caress you, you need to privatize all of this poo poo, also you have to spend $400k on a consultant to go over our counterproposal before you can refuse it" The Aristocrats!

FormaldehydeSon posted:How did you get diagnosed? I tried once and the Dr told me I'm just depressed and put me on some meds that ended up actually making me depressed so I gave up I asked my family doctor to put me on a wait list to get in with a psychiatrist, but that was an extremely long wait (she did give me a low dose of meds in the mean time, but since that's not her specialty she didn't want to give me anything too strong. I didn't even have to prove anything to her, I just asked for it and she gave me something). I ended up finding a private practice, cost a hundred bucks up front, but the doctor has been very receptive to my needs. My partner also talked to her doctor about seeing a specialist, and got in fairly quickly and is now trying different doses. If your doctor doesn't take it seriously, I recommend either finding a new doctor, or seeking a private practice if available to you.

Eventually, after both my kids were officially diagnosed with it, I brought it up again and my doc was like "here's a simple one-page test... and it says you've got the ADHD. Here's a script for Vyvance".
