American Marines develop "Revved Up" caffeinated c

So, these guys are a bit behind our Swedish friends at Rebel Tobacco, makers of Elixyr PE, one of the most loved and hated snus brands IMO.
I joined this "join together" drug and alcohol organization to keep eyes on the enemies of smokeless tobacco.

The article is linked below, you'll notice my comment about Elixyr, but I typo-d "portion" so it reads "postion" snus LOL

I tried to leave a comment. Then I realized you have to join. **** that. Here's what I tried to post.


Yes!
Now if only they can find a way to cram alcohol in it I'd buy it by the carton.
BTW Porter93 kids can't buy tobacco. If they are getting some then you're a bad parent for not educating them. You flaming pessimist. Way to miss the point.
I think it's great this product has been developed. Ponysoprano is right though, it's already been done.
People are going to do what they do anyway. There is a real market for it.
Snus = harm reduction
Knowledge = understanding
Nicotine and caffeine are powerful drugs. If you already use them why not get more efficient with the consumption.
Nobody's telling you to buy it.

here's another, less critical article about the caffeinated dip from MarineCorps Times website

It'll be unveiled at a trade show this month aimed at convenience store owners and I'm sure it'll be both a success, and a target from stupid parental groups who are too stupid or lazy to figure out that education is the key to keeping kids safe, not demonizing adult-intended products.

My buddy is a marine stationed overseas, he's the guy that got me into snus. I think he mentioned something about this from a Corps magazine or newsletter, he seemed pretty into the idea and I think he uses that elixer power stuff.
