    I hope this would also include products like “5 hour energy”, which are energy drinks, but in a smaller and even easier to shot down package.

        “excluding products where those substances occur naturally.”

        That seems like a dumb exception. It’s not like naturally occurring caffeine is somehow better for you. If it’s above that limit, then the law should apply to that as well.

          It’s a lot easier to pass a law banning the sale of artificial drinks to minors than it is to ban coffee sales to minors.

          I would argue that naturally occurring caffeine is much worse than synthetic caffeine because it also contains rest of plant’s toxins and other not so good stuff.

          On the other hand not that anyone uses sunthetic caffeine in their drinks. It is expensive as hell.

      Those kind of things aren’t really popular outside of America. I only ever see them in America
