An influencer-backed energy drink that has earned viral popularity among children is facing scrutiny from lawmakers and health experts over its potentially dangerous levels of caffeine
Why do they compare it to coke as if coke has a lot of caffeine? It’s apparently 200 mg total, which is the same as you’d get from a large coffee in many places (and also a common size for caffeine pills).
I think the risk simply depends on if people understand how much caffeine that is, since they have to regulate their consumption like you would with coffee. Which ironically isn’t actually something you have to do with most energy drinks, cause most are significantly less caffeine than coffee.
Logan Paul sucks ass, but as long as it’s very clearly labeled, I don’t see how this is a problem. And honestly, even then, it’s not like Starbucks clearly labels “tall coffee has 260 mg caffeine” (I mean, it’s on their website, but I don’t believe it’s prominently on the menu or cups or anything).

Paul is targeting it at children, that is the issue.
