Caffeine-based drinks can make you a dud in bed
Tuesday, July 19, 2011
Don’t be fooled: provocatively named drinks such as Sexpresso and Rock Hard don’t necessarily mean they will make you a hero in the bedroom.
Those of you who want to improve your skills between the sheets are warned to steer clear of such caffeine-based beverages as they contain a substance similar to Viagra.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand issued the warning yesterday, saying these drinks contained "analogues" of the performance-enhancing drug sildenafil, commonly known as Viagra, despite a ban on adding such drugs to foods.
The ingredient was not listed on either of the drinks' labels and experts were unsure about possible side effects.
However, analogues of drugs can cause dangerous reactions in people taking prescription medicines.
What does RALPH think about this? Well, we recommend buying the standard ‘flat white’ and ‘cap’ to the ‘Sexpresso’ and ‘Rockhard’ drinks based on their wanky names alone!
