Who Named This Shit?
|
Who Named This Shit? Seriously, who thought Tweaker was a good name for an energy drink? This is an actual product. It comes in a four ounce too, called Tweak Extreme. Now, I probably wouldn't think a thing about it if I wasn't living in the meth capital of the Lower Midwest. However, since moving here, I have learned that the word tweaker is used to describe someone who is high on meth. They make jerky movements while tweaking and have been known to pick at their faces for hours. Most meth heads will have scabs all over them, from picking at their faces and arms. When someone is tweaking, they tend to have unlimited energy too, which is why it is so popular with unwed mothers. They can get up at the crack of dawn, clean the house, get the up and off to school, go to work, get home and clean the house while cooking dinner for the and get to bed well after midnight and be up bright and early at the crack of dawn. Tweakers tend to be obsessive about one task at a time, it's not uncommon to hear about one vacuuming the same spot of carpet for two hours. They also start to become paranoid the longer they're on meth. People who do meth long term tend to never stop tweaking. The jerky movements and not being able to sit or stand still stays with them long after the meth is gone. Which is why I CANNOT understand why they would name energy drinks after a meth habit. But reading the FAQ on their page, this stuff kind of sounds like meth. Here are some highlights. 1. What should I experience If I drink four ounces of Tweak Extreme or two ounces of Tweaker. Ever remember sitting at a party and not really wanting to talk with anyone wishing you were ten years younger? All of a sudden you can't sit down, you find yourself walking around talking with everyone having the time of your life- suddenly, you notice it's two in the morning, nearly four hours past your bedtime... that's what if feels like to drink a Tweaker or four ounces of Tweak Extreme. Don't you love the grammar? The writer sounds as if he or she is on meth. Hmmm... 2. You're in your 18-wheel rig, pick up truck or VW and your driving from Dallas to Las Vegas via New York City and your eyes feel heavy. All you can think about is sleeping. You’re in your 18-wheel rig, pick up truck or VW and your driving from Dallas to Las Vegas via New York City and your eyes feel heavy. All you can think about is sleeping. You drink Tweak or Tweaker and find your self singing to Meatloaf on the top of your lunges and suddenly realizing you drove across the country and your only five miles from Las Vegas! Lunges? Isn't Las Vegas about a four day drive from NYC? What is in this shit? 5. I drank half a bottle of Tweak and felt shaky, why? The shaky feeling usually occurs because your metabolic rate has increased and there is not enough blood sugar to accommodate the increased activity. Eat some carbohydrates, fruit or bread and the shakes should pass quickly. This is another reason we strongly suggest you drink Tweak Extreme and Tweaker with food in your stomach. The shaky feeling is the start of tweaking. I wonder if there's actual methamphetamine in this shit, I seriously do. 8. My girlfriend switched from another energy drink and is now drinking Tweak. She told me that she lost ten pounds in a month when she switched. Will I lose weight if I drink Tweak? We do not make the claim that Tweak Extreme will help you lose weight. However, many people report losing weight when switching from an existing energy drink to Tweak. More often than not, this happens because the consumer has eliminated a massive amount of sugar and calories by dropping the old school energy drink and switching to Tweak Extreme or Tweaker. These drinks are zero calories, carbs and sugar. Another possible reason for the loss of weight could be a loss of appetite, which is common with the use of Tweak. Besides, if we make the claim that our product helps you lose weight, we will have to admit that Tweaker and Tweak Extreme are 10% pure speed... So it even looks like the marketing is aimed at meth addicts. Trade one speed for another. This company also has a picture gallery on their site. The pictures should be of the product, right? Show the pretty bottles? Nope! The gallery are all interior shots of someone's mansion! I really do think they should rename this product. The company is headquartered in Dallas, so they are fully aware of what tweaker means. So, what do you all think? Would you drink this knowing that you will probably have the meth experience, just without the paranoia for the first few days or weeks?  |

Something else occurs to me... If this stuff becomes popular, are they going to do invent drinks around it? Consider its name, I say the Tweak Extreme and cheap well vodka, served in one of those big toy syringes...

Meth psychosis is such an exact replica of paranoid schizophrenia that clinicians have to always rule out the former if they suspect the latter. Behavior can get really bizarre. One user counted all of the corn flakes in a box. Another user who was pulled over for driving 90 mph in a 30 mph zone said he was trying to get enough momentum to get to Mars. The picking behavior comes from 'coke bugs'--the sensation that there are bugs crawling underneath your skin. So much new lingo these days: When I twitter while tweaking, I send lots of tweets.

ahhh but ignoring the silly name, does it taste any good? Is it better than that terrible five hour energy drink? Don't ever give up searching for the fun in life.

My former stepdad, Kevin, was on meth. He was on meth, pot, and I think either cocain or herion, as I heard him one morning chopping and snorting. My uncle is a cop, and my mom described Kevin's behaviour to him, and my uncle said, "Yep, he's on meth." I've always wondered, why would someone do that to themselves? What kind of a life is it when all you're wondering is where you're next high will come from? And, I have gotten the shakes from an energy drink. It's not fun. I was on a riding mower when it happened. I don't touch them anymore these days. Come into my realm! You aren't afraid...are you?

Meth is evil. Rots the teeth. Causes hallucinations of bugs in your skin prompting a person to spray their boots with Raid and then put them on barefoot to kill the bugs crawling on his feet. Not all meth heads seen in our ER are this nutso but many are, they even convince family members that they see the bugs too.

I feel very sorry for anyone with a Meth addiction. Well..I'm inclined to pity anyone with an addictive personality who ends up on any narcotics. While I have never met anyone who uses meth, I understand from news reports that it can make people very violent. Or is that Ice? Besides, if I can get you addicted to VEGEMITE you'll never go back to energy drinks.  Recent post: [post 2369941]

There really is a major difference between pharmaceutical grade amphetamine and crystal meth. I remember diet doctors. I remember those drops. They didn't keep me awake and I didn't lose weight and I didn't use them long. That creepy crawly feeling all the time bugged me. A lot. I'm not going to try it. Energy drinks just make my heart race and I fall asleep in self defense. Hell, more than two cups of coffee, full caffeine coffee puts me to sleep.

I used to take Wigraine for migraines. 1 mg ergotamine, 100 milligrams caffeine. Two to start, one every half hour until the headache is gone... I'm very familiar with that crawling feeling. Also, those drops we used to get from diet doctors. But getting the momentum to get to Mars? That's just scary. Now, can you imagine how many incoherent tweets a meth head could send while tweaking?

There are lots of substances that you can buy at your nutrition center that will stimulate metabolic pathways without emptying your wallet to make someone rich. This product is just an over priced repackage of amino acids and supplements that can be had at a fraction of the cost in tablet form. Is this product dangerous? yes but the danger is minimal and does not merit a government intrusion into the supplement market. All the ingredients in this product are just concentrated substances that are found it food stuffs.

Ah, but we have always had the people who don't care. Even Socrates complained about them. Just our uneducated manage to get their own shows on cable, where they can be mavens of bad taste.
