    I mean it’s a stretch, but maybe it’s fake

      Honestly, this one could be real. People poisoning themselves with caffeine powder isn’t particularly uncommon. A friend of mine OD’d on caffeine and spent a week in the hospital.

        I always assume these texts are fake but I can totally hear

        “A man prepared his own energy drink without reading the instructions. This is what happened to his brain.”

        In Chubby Emu’s voice

        Edit:

        Would you look at that, I just found a similar video but the dosage is higher. So this green text could be real.

        Back when I was trying to wean off soda I tried caffeine pills. Avg is 200mg per tic tac sized pill so one could easily od and it’s OTC as well

      Yeah I mean I came here to say this is fake but then I looked into it. It’s at least disturbingly plausible. I assumed there was no way a drink would have 200mg caffeine in powder form but here we are.

      For sure it’s fake, 99% of greentext are. Most drink mixes are one or two scoops at most. No one would put 5 scoops of a random powder in a drink without at least glancing at the instructions. Not even a tired idiot.

        Bruh, I’m a moron with no regard for self and a seemingly instant high tolerance to most substances I’ve tried. I would do some dumb shit like this and meet my match.

        My dad would. My Ef-gf would. Neither ever read the instructions for anything. The other day my dad was out to heat a frozen tamale. Peeled off the wrapping while it was frozen. Stabbed it with scissors (?). then put it in the oven to bake it. Definitely not what the package said to do.
