      The “spanish fly” gimmicks are even more like that. Imagine some gas station chud announcing he’s going to make someone horny by putting something in their drink. kombucha-disgust

            spanish fly

            Spanish fly is not only mostly bullshit and what is sold over the counter in non-illicit forms typically contains none of the active ingredient derived from blister beetles (that should be a red flag), the actual active chemical can cause severe damage to the intestinal tract and even death.

              That’s exactly what I was getting at. It often says “proprietary blend of ingredients” which generally means bullshit, caffeine at best, and maybe some bad stuff because it’s underregulated.

              I assume it was, and maybe the way it slipped through was that there was basically nothing but filler in the capsules but chuds would still wish upon a chud star while buying them.
