Leonard v. Pepsico, Inc., 88 F. Supp. 2d 116, (S.D.N.Y. 1999), aff'd 210 F.3d 88 (2d Cir. 2000), more widely known as the Pepsi Points Case, is a contracts case tried in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in 1999, in which the plaintiff, John Leonard, sued PepsiCo, Inc. in an effort to enforce an "offer" to redeem 7,000,000 Pepsi Points for an AV-8 Harrier II jump jet, which PepsiCo had shown in a portion of a televised commercial that PepsiCo argued was intended to be humorous. The plaintiff did not collect 7,000,000 Pepsi Points through the purchase of Pepsi products, but instead sent a certified check for $700,008.50 as permitted by the contest rules. Leonard had 15 existing points, paid $0.10 a point for the remaining 6,999,985 points, and a $10 shipping and handling fee.
The court, presided over by Judge Kimba Wood, rejected Leonard's claims and denied recovery on several grounds, including;
*It was found that the advertisement featuring the jet did not constitute an offer under the Restatement (Second) of Contracts.
*The court found that even if the advertisement had been an offer, no reasonable person could have believed that the company seriously intended to convey a jet worth roughly $23 million for $700,000, i.e., that it was mere puffery.
*The value of the alleged contract meant that it fell under the provisions of the statute of frauds, but the statute's requirement for written agreement between the parties was not fulfilled, so a contract had not been formed.
This is what got the company not the fact you failed to sprout wings
"claims of increased performance, concentration and reaction speed"
I was on a Red Bull kick in my early 20's right when the drink first hit the market. I'd buy it by the case, and had one every morning before I'd head out to work. Then I discovered coffee. Kinda miss the Red Bull though. I think that the Taurine in that stuff is actually pretty good for you.
I don't use Taurine, but I do use 5-htp, Maca, Citicholine, and Phenylpiracetam for alertness, mood support, and energy.
I would agree.
I think I was taking some piracetam and some kind of other nootropic crap I got of ebay, flushed them after I started getting heart palpitations, had them for a long time afterwards. Won't mess with that kind of stuff anymore, somebody could be giving out instructions on how to give yourself a hotshot using legal supplements on the internet.

That's too bad. I've taken Piracetam, Phenylpiracetam, and Noopept off and on for years with nothing like what you describe.
I get less of a body load from my current Maca and Phenylpiracetam than I would from one cup of coffee (not to mention a Red Bull!).
