Try a whole country that doesn’t stock any.

I don’t know folks. Maybe the seed was planted by the “Street Teams” that were giving away samples outside the school in Aurora, which 9 News reports.

I agree that the label and the disclaimers are appropriate, but why even give out samples around schools when 3/4 of the student population are under 18?
Of course parents are going to get tweaked if that’s the case.

Was this at a covienence store near a high school?
It would seem silly to not be able to sample products in a store just because a school is located in the vicinity.[/quote]
It would, however, be a bad move to hand them out to kids who are under the age of 18. What happens to them after they exchange hands is out of anyone’s control. I just think this should have been guarded a little more because if anyone should understand how quickly supplements can get banned, this company should. It would have been a great seller without the free handouts by word of mouth alone.
Kids are drinking Red Bulls by the six pack for a buzz.
I think those kids are idiots, just fucking read the can and its many warnings, It aint that hard.

This pretty much sums up my thoughts.
Either Spike is freaking the most powerful drink on the planet, or these kids are total pussies. My friends in high school would down whole packs of caffeine pills and mountain dews so that the vodka they snuck in wouldn’t make them tired.
Since I gave up caffeine outside of tea a few years ago, Spike has been the one thing to make me seriously want to reconsider. Anything that can give a dumb ass a heart palpitation sounds like fun shit indeed.

No kidding. I’m drinking one right now and I’ll be damned if I’m giving these up.

I think folks are not getting enough sleep. You should see the quantity of caffeine consumed at my work place.
Now, if kids are not getting enough sleep, I don’t think kids should be running to stimulants.
Maybe the school should ask itself if the workload needs to be reduced for the students. Maybe the kids are really burnt out and looking for a stimulant fix – following in their parents’ excessive drinking of Starbucks.
And why do folks ignore labels? This is just plain dumb. Imagine how much creatine these kids are probably taking. It’s scary.
As an educational institute, the answer is to teach the kids to read and learn the value of sleep.

You might be right in some way but the main thing is kids want to experiment with whatever they can get. They arnt drinking a case of Spike Shooters because they are to overloaded with homework.
You have a funny view on sleep for someone with the screenname “tweaker”

Anyone who thinks these kids are drinking caffeine drinks by the gallon because of homework is a moron.
I dont understand how Spike Shooters can really effect anyone? I got a free one with my last Biotest order, and it didn’t do anything for me.
Then again, I have been drinking a pot of coffee daily since I was 13, so I have the feeling my adrenal glands are way past burnt out.

Yeah kids, look how barney turned out!
haha, kidding man.
Adding upon what prof said about them being unavailable because of this… I’ll flip a shit. I gave one to my cousin, who happens to be 30, he FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS and he said it was some of the greatest stuff he’s ever had.
I guess we can always chalk another one up for humanity…
On a similar note… When I was at the Biotest promo last weekend, I saw A LOT of people buying both Spike and HRX who struck me as people who didnt actually work out, just looking for a ‘magic pill.’ Of which, whom I thought HRX might be a little ‘hardcore’ for them. Along the same lines, I wouldnt be surprised if Biotest heard a few words about it.
It’d really be a shame if the responsible people on earth had something taken away just because a bunch of morons got a hold of it.

That’s just what happens with the father-knows-best approach the government takes towards suppliments.

Sad but true. Most people I see with this stuff either just started working out (usually high school kids)or they have no intention of working out, they just want the magic pill. I just hope they don’t ruin it for the rest of us who are more responsible. The wrong people always get punished when this stuff happens.
my Spike Shooter is like magic
now you see it, now you don’t
shake and bake, then Spike and shoot

LOL… relax there, fightin’ chicken.
I only ever use one Spike at a time so I don’t know if this holds true for a bigger dose. But the symptoms described sound familiar.
Here’s the recipe. Take Spike first and let it get into your system, then fire up some chronic. At first you will get really blew out, then you might feel like you blood pressure has dropped and you will get shaky.

Hey man, whats your name? I ask only because I’d love a name to go with your story when I submit it to the darwin awards committee.
Am I the only one who thinks the principle is full of shit?
No way a can of Spike caused 5 kids to end up with heart palpatations and put another in a wheel chair.
Either the principle needs to admit she has a drug problem in her school, or there is something in the water…
