Amazon sells a 12-count of 5-Hour Energy for $18.78.
That's 157 cents per dose to be kept awake for 5 hours.
Amazon sells a 600-count of diphenhydramine for $9.02.
That's 1.5 cents per dose to be kept asleep for 5 hours.

2. Or do people just love the sensation of 2 ounces of sucralose sweetened liquid hitting the back of the throat?
Just leading questions, your honor!
A free 5-hour Energy Drink has been sitting on our kitchen counter for months. That's probably the closest I will ever come to drinking one. No joke.
And don't even get me started on paying the $2.99 they'd want for one dose displayed near the cash registers of local stores. Money must grow on trees for some people.

Anything between the clearance bakery table and the SNAP card reader at checkout is a rip-off. Except, of course, the World Weekly News!
Rob Dawg,
Eternal slumber for the win?
The World Weekly News? A bargain at any price!
Hahaha!!!
