my understanding is that virtually all of those have no scientific basis for their inclusion

Psychology is a science.

I think he meant that they have no chemical effect on the end user. They're just placebo, or the effect is negligible.

I know what he meant, I just answered why they are included without outright spelling it out.

Which come to think of it, it is something that would be hard for someone to notice.

I know, I was just re-smartassing your smartass comment, smartass.

Marketing.

A few of them might actually do something, of course, but that's not actually necessary.

The point is you THINK they actually do something and are willing to spend extra cash for what is essentially a pop with extra sugar and caffine.

If I want a caffeine rush, I'll just buy one of those sodas with extra caffeine in it. I've been buying Pepsi Max for like, two years now.

Where I am they are registered as energy drinks.

When I feel like sleeping, I drink two or three energy drinks. Why does it have that effect on me?

[Svarte Troner]

I drank a "monster" at work once because I had to get up at 7 in the morning (I usually work at night), and by noon, my heart was racing, I was lightheaded, and hungry as hell. Not to mention the stuff tasted like shit...

[Hanslanda]

Kinda chalky tasting. Not very pleasant. I had a pomegranate Amp the other day, and I thought there was booze in it, it tasted so bad.

caffeine: wakes you up and puts you to sleep.

[Hanslanda]

Crack: Kills you and makes you feel alive.

Is that what we're doing now? Paradoxical intoxicants?

[Aseaheru]

i guess. what else............

help?

Well, as I understand it, 'Energy' drinks don't just magically give you energy from nowhere. They just make your body process its energy more quickly.
So quite often energy drinks can just make you crash, if you're already tired.

Meth: Gives you the energy to smile and knocks your teeth out.
