    Honestly, this one could be real. People poisoning themselves with caffeine powder isn’t particularly uncommon. A friend of mine OD’d on caffeine and spent a week in the hospital.

      I always assume these texts are fake but I can totally hear

      “A man prepared his own energy drink without reading the instructions. This is what happened to his brain.”

      In Chubby Emu’s voice

      Edit:

      Would you look at that, I just found a similar video but the dosage is higher. So this green text could be real.

      Back when I was trying to wean off soda I tried caffeine pills. Avg is 200mg per tic tac sized pill so one could easily od and it’s OTC as well
