"Taurine is only approved for use in chicken feed, not human food."
 
 So if you need a taurine fix go to Popeye's instead. Way more delicious.

[sonickteam2]

dont listen to miss p.
 
    some people just have to be knowitalls.  I didnt realize people were trying to ban this.
 
    i think it tastes like crap, personally. I will read the article now

[godsshoeshine]

anyway...the distric has banned smoking and cocaine and yet hipsters roll on. everything will be ok

[sonickteam2]

So Sparks is like a speedball basically. I always thought red bull and vodkas were stupid because of their difference in nature, as i thought the same of people who liked to mix speed with downers in my younger years.
 
   up or down, pick one, i say!

I never give any credit to something published by organizations with names such as 'The Center for Science in the Public Interest'.  Thanks, but I took all the science and chemistry I need in both high school and college.  I really don't need yet another somebody watching out for me and doing things 'for my own good'.  I'll make my own decisions and live with the consequences, thank you very much.
