        spanish fly

        Spanish fly is not only mostly bullshit and what is sold over the counter in non-illicit forms typically contains none of the active ingredient derived from blister beetles (that should be a red flag), the actual active chemical can cause severe damage to the intestinal tract and even death.

          That’s exactly what I was getting at. It often says “proprietary blend of ingredients” which generally means bullshit, caffeine at best, and maybe some bad stuff because it’s underregulated.

          I assume it was, and maybe the way it slipped through was that there was basically nothing but filler in the capsules but chuds would still wish upon a chud star while buying them.
