Sorry, but where is the mind altering drug in the label?
I just see a bunch of ingredients I don't feel like looking up.
I think the affect it describes is from the sugar content.
An increase in hyperness and a reduction in wanting to pay attention.

Just keep taking the chemicals and you'll be just fine.
And try looking a little harder at the label.edit on 27-6-2013 by VoidHawk because: (no reason given)

Those *E numbers are codes for artificial colors, not psychotropic mind altering drugs. That is not to say though that they may or may not have an effect on health.
Here is a link to a list of artificial color codes and some other stuff.edit on 27-6-2013 by ShadowLink because: (no reason given)
E129 – allura red. E129 is a red or orange like synthetic dye which is used as a food colouring in drinks and sweets. As well as being linked to hyperactive behaviour in children, it may also cause allergic skin reactions in adults, especially anyone sensitive to aspirin. It’s worth noting that E129 has already been banned in many countries, including France, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Norway and Sweden.

At least they had the respect to put it on the box. First time I seen that on a box of candy.
How many children are on mind altering drugs for precisely those symptoms?
