Due to my constant fatigue, I started drinking energy drinks and energy shots.
I know very well those are not healthy or good for me.

So it makes me wonder why they have energy shots stocked next to the Diabetes stuff, the undernourishment aid, the protein bars, etc.
Those don't belong there xD

They have an aisle full of energy drinks and stuff, so I don't get why they don't put the shots there too.
It makes the most sense to me.

I was at Walmart looking for shots, so I assumed they'd be in the energy drink section.
Nope - they were on the completely opposite side of the store with the vitamins and health-related stuff.
I didn't mind having to walk all that way since walking is good exercise, but again - it seems stupid to put those there.


I'm not a very neat person. I don't have stuff organized and I know where everything is in a pile of junk. But this bugs me. Why don't we put hazardous chemicals right beside food it sounds good to me \8u/

Have you come across something that seemed out of place to you?

By energy shots do you mean epinephrine shots? Because I thought those were prescription-only and were mostly just used to counter anaphylactic shock... although I know that when it comes down to it, it's like a big jolting shot of energy...
but if that's what you're talking about I'm surprised it's available over the counter at all but if it is, it makes sense to put it in the medications aisle?

I think she means the tiny/strong energy drinks like 5 Hour Energy.

Yeah, things like 5 Hour Energy and these Bang Energy shots, which have 300mg of caffeine. 8u

Yeah, they can work really good or not at all for me.
They also make regular drinks and coffee and tea now.

I've taken all kinds of energy shots and drinks.

Monster and 5 Hour Energy were the worst.
The Monster gave me chest pains and the 5 Hour Energy made me extremely sick.

I know they don't hurt everyone, but they're still not really good.
You can call them energy boosters and say they're good for exercising or helping you study, but I don't think they need to be by the actual healthy stuff.

I used to drink stuff like that when I was in high school (we took it as a form of getting high so to speak) back when they didn't have good regulations on these drinks.

There was one specifically called JOLT that I remember was banned after it was out for about a year. Just super bad for you.

Because I have anxiety, I shouldn't consume a lot of caffeine anyway and it does cause my stomach to get upset so I haven't had an energy drink in years. I just drink about one cup of coffee per day.
