          “Mio” is one of those products where you squirt a little bit into water to give it flavor. It’s extremely concentrated. Honestly, I don’t know how OP even managed to drink it all without diluting it first. I’ve tried drinking a single squirt of a similar product before, and it was awful.

            They probably didn’t drink it, they likely calculated how much was in it and made a funny.

            Pretty much anything that says “energy” in it will have a ton of caffeine, surely everyone knows this by now…

      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

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

        Either your a spider or you meant palatable.

        I’ve got a torch buddy, I’m onto you!

        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).

        After a while, the taste/smell did start to bother me. Whatever the shit is suspended in (PEG? I don’t know) has a distinct smell and aftertaste. I wonder if this stuff is similar.

          There are better THC drinks than these additives.

          In you are in California, PBR makes a delicious non-alcoholic thc drink.

            Yeah, they sell better ones at the liquor stores here actually… They’re all packed with sugar substitutes though, which is another aftertaste I’m not a fan of. They’re a bit overpriced too…

            The cheapest ones for THC per dollar, that I’ve seen there, come to about ~$6 a piece (in a 4-pack, so ~24) and have 20mg THC.

            Still… Pretty cool that you can buy weed drinks at the fucking liquor store. At least that’s one thing that we’ve made progress on and don’t appear to be walking back. Yet. I doubt they will act to federally legalize it though, and probably keep up the “states rights” bullshit and have it be state by state. So they have something to point to to prove that they totally believe in states rights.

      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.

        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…
