On a similar note, I love the commercials that say “(our product) is part of this healthy nutritious breakfast”. Well, obviously it is - it’s right there in the middle of it.

That’s true. It doesn’t change the fact that Adderall’s market share is growing while Dextroamphetamine’s is shrinking. I am not entirely certain why this is happening.

I believe it is generally priced higher than Dextroamphetamine, however.
