These didn't happen to come in day-glo colors (blue, green, etc) and
sold in clear beer/sodal bottles with names like "Brain Wash", etc.,
did they? My housemate in grad school received a bottle as a gift
from his parents. The ingredients list was quite scary, including
Jalapeno juice and various herbs that have "special effects". He was
halfway considering drinking the stuff just before his thesis
defense...

Yes, I discovered in college while working on my senior thesis that
Mountain Dew could make you think faster and keep you awake, but it
did absolutely nothing for your ability to concentrate.
I don't know Vic, you chug two cans of this stuff and take first at
Nationals...all I can think of is Popeye...
