I had some gum a while back that had b6, theanine, caffeine and a few other things. It was really good! Mango flavored too!

If I were to go completely mad scientist, the possibilities would be endless.

Edit: Here it is.

Saw this today:

I can see a niche for nootropic mocktails - infused with kava, shilajit, GABA.

That might be nice. A little too close for comfort for me, as I used to love a nice joint of this hawaiian strain of sense that my cousins grew, and would release right between Christmas & Thanksgiving. Became known as the Christmas weed. :smiley: had and amazing smell in the bag, and was really potent.

While knocking back shots of Bushmills.

It just occurred to me that the gum could be a good pre workout option for that ā€œnot too much/not too littleā€ zone people like.

ā€œCrossFit works initially because anything works for six weeks.ā€

  • Mark Rippetoe

It’s funny how Dan John has expressed the same sentiment. I wonder what the origin is.

Of course, I took that as license to employ 6 week programming cycles…which missed the point even harder.

Rip makes some salient points in an article on another website that T-Nation won’t let me link here. As much as he is a blow hard, I think his former employment with Glassman gives him some credibility.
