It’s a water flavoring. Most are just that, water flavoring. Few squirts into a water bottle make water more “palpable” for some. There are different types of this water “enhancer” that contain caffeine. This is one of those kinds.

They make THC ones too… I tried them the one time my local dispensary had a flash sale and marked them down from like $30 to $6 (probably about to expire).
Can’t say they’re worth full price, but was great for $6. Drinking THC, interestingly, has a different high than eating it. It’s kind of in between smoking and eating. Takes like 20-30min to hit (instead of 90min+), but doesn’t last as long as an edible (which some might see as a plus, though I don’t mind waking up high the next morning lol).

Either your a spider or you meant palatable.
I’ve got a torch buddy, I’m onto you!

It has “energy” and “caffeine” on the front, OP didn’t read
FiskFisk33@startrek.website 3 months ago
that’s fair, I more meant the sheer amount of it though
quixotic120@lemmy.world 3 months ago
This honestly makes so much more sense from an environmental standpoint. Why waste so much in terms of resources shipping hundreds of millions of pounds of sugar water every month so picky babies that refuse to drink water will pump more money into the coca cola empire so they can get type 2 diabetes as fast as possible. Instead just ship this little cup thing at 1/18th the weight and save so much gasoline, road wear and tear, etc.
Who am I kidding, they’ll just put this into plastic bottled water that’s been shipped from 3 states over
Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Eww stateside water?? Nah bro give me that other side of the world Fiji water.
Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 months ago
Sure, but the thing these are replacing are powders, so it’s actually shipping more water (and plastic).
lobut@lemmy.ca 3 months ago
Looks like Mio, you add it to your water to get flavoured water. I guess like Tang or Kool-Aid but modern and typically zero calories or something like that.
I’m guessing this one has caffeine and for some reason they chose not to mix it with water.
bdonvr@thelemmy.club 3 months ago
I like it. Use the filtered water at work, some of this when I want flavor/caffeine.
The black cherry flavor is honestly great. And if you happen to have a carbonator at home try it carbonated…

It says on the fucking bottle that it’s a “light squeeze per 12 oz of water”. Anyone stupid enough to kill themselves with it has it coming.

Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 3 months ago
That’s about 11 cups of coffee. Should be okay.
I calculated the LD50 times average adult weight divided by 100mg per cup before, and I think the result was over 100 cups.
SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 3 months ago
I start feeling it after like 5 or so. 11 would give me a panic attack.
Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 3 months ago
Oh yeah I don’t think it would feel great, I’m just saying it’s far enough from the LD50 that the answer to Anon’s question “Do I survive?” would be yes. (Unless he’s a child, or he has some preexisting condition making him more vulnerable to caffeine).
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 months ago
As a bored, teenage barista, my coworkers and I would sometimes kill time by doing espresso shot competitions.
I did 10 once. Never again. I feel like something permanently changed in my brain chemistry that day (not to mention my gut was fucked).
Comment105@lemm.ee 3 months ago
Yeah, caffeine seems to fuck with the gut more that I used to think. I’ve been an off and on ~1 liter energy drink per day guy, very occasionally 3 or 4. I think ours are even weaker than the ones in the US, they’re 32mg/100ml.
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
Thats less than 3 large starbucks coffees. I guarantee you some people are hitting that on the reg.

Some have indicated that after a dose of around 1 g, toxic symptoms begin to manifest, a dose of 2 g requires hospitalization, while higher doses (e.g., typically 5 g or more) could be lethal
So he’ll probably live, but his heart will be going like the fucking clappers.
HeckGazer@programming.dev 3 months ago
Assuming all that caffeine went into their blood and nowhere else they’re only about 2x above where it starts being lethal. Should be fine, maybe

ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 months ago
OP had so much caffeine, his text turned black

As long as they’re healthy, yes. That’s roughly the same amount as drinking a few espressos. But they won’t have a good time.
Spookyghost@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
Espessos have ~60mg of caffeine, each squirt would be one. Still should be fine, but i wouldnt recommend drinking 18 espessos at once.

This is anon we’re talking about, no way they’re healthy.

BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 3 months ago
As somebody who has made a 6 cup Moka pot of Death Wish before, I totally empathize with OP. That must have been one hell of a stressful day. I felt like my heart was going to hop out of my throat, and was pretty much stuck in an hours long panic attack. And the only way I didn’t feel like I was going to die was standing.
Etterra@discuss.online 3 months ago
Sounds like a lightweight.
Gullible@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
Anon almost definitively survived, but they got on a fucked up ride
schmerm@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
LD50 just means half of a test population dies at that dosage. Anon took just over 1/10th of LD50 so there’s a nonzero chance things did not go well
Gullible@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
Study I read stated that 57mg/kg was the lowest recorded ingestion leading to mortality. Anon’s organs lost a few steps but they’re likely fine enough
SeekPie@lemm.ee 3 months ago
So ~10 200 mg for anon would be lethal?
Gullible@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
