Eh, I think that the uproar around the Caffeine Strips is that they are marketed as performance enhancers. When someone says "performance enhancer" what do you think of? My mind shifts directly to steroids.
Encouraging kids to find ways to gain an edge over the competition without improving their skills misses the point of sport, and leads to an unhealthy mindset. They become dependent on something to help them become greater, rather than realizing that true improvement comes from perseverance - ultimately undermining self-worth.

The least costly drink at Starbucks is water. Unless the store is cramped, the employees usually enjoy the company, even if they aren't making a significant purchase. In fact, it can be argued that their business will be improved if someone walking by looks in the window and sees there are people taking up seats. If you are really set on purchasing something, check out the price on a short-sized tea or a children's hot chocolate.
