Curious what you’d call them.
Stimulants.
Caffeine doesn’t give you energy. Carbohydrates do. Caffeine blocks the chemical in your brain called “adenosine”, which makes you feel tired.

“Can’t believe it’s not energy! drink”
Caffeine soda.
“Chemical Caffeine”?
“Bull Jizz n Juice”?
Uhh…
These would be great names for mixed drinks.
