Cooper, would you please name a St. Louis store where I can find Nitro? I’ve just checked the Walgreen’s store on the corner, and the 24-hour Schnuck’s across the street, and neither one carries it.
Laugh hard; it’s a long way to the bank.
‘One part of the class dealt with “lesser” drugs, like chocolate, caffeine, etc.’ I take it that was a joke, throwing a non-drug (chocolate) in with a drug (caffeine)? Or did I miss something – something in chocolate is actually a drug?
The following is not a troll: I was told (by a bigot) that Mello Yellow is marketed mainly to blacks. True or crock?
Theobromine (“food-of-the-gods stuff”), found in chocolate, is related to caffeine.
It tends to make you happy, though, rather than jittery.

Can’t say if the Mello Yello ad campaign (which even here in Atlanta is largely non-existent) is targeted toward black people, but the label has graphics of dudes skateboarding, BMXing, jamming in a grunge band and so on. No girls on there, curiously enough. I think they were aiming at the younger market. Worked on me…I got hooked on the stuff in high school in the early 80s and it took me until 99 to break my six-pack a day habit.
Maybe it was Coke’s attempt to copy Mountain Dew, but to me it tastes much better than Mountain Dew.
I do not like a lot of caffeine. That being said, I have had Afri-Cola exactly once, and it was pretty good. I bought it mostly because I had never heard of it before and it came in a very funky shaped bottle. Probably not the best criteria to go by when choosing beverages, but hey, “dare to be different” and all that. I’ve actually had quite a few “unique” beverages at one time or another. You’d be surprised at the myriad of strange imported products available in South Florida quicky-marts. I guess the prospect of having to drink yet another Coke or Pepsi causes the mind to crave something new, kidneys-be-damned.
