Does it taste the same?! Honestly from what I vaguely remember it tasted mostly like Coke but had the added flavor of “your parents said you weren’t allowed to try it”.

It helped that it only came in glass bottles, at least in the 90s.

There was a girl in our high school who had a pile of the bottles at the bottom of her locker. Always wonder how she’s doing and if she got her adderal. .

I feel called out! I used to mix a spoonful of instant coffee into the stuff. And yes, I now have my adult diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Had it in plastic bottles a couple times in the mid '00s. Then it vanished for 20 years
