I was uncertain what to think about something called "Gamer Grub" that purported to be a "Performance Snack." Especially since from what I can tell (the fine print for the ingredients is mighty fine, if you know what I mean) there's no caffeine in this packet. I know some people will be shocked, but we're about stimulants of all kinds. It doesn't have to have caffeine in it, it's just that a lot of products do. Instead it promises "vitamins + neurotransmitters." And if you're anything like me, then you're thinking: well, what the hell does that mean to me, the consumer?

That's a very good question. The back of the package promises that the "tasty blend of Peanut Butter Chips, Peanuts, Strawberries, Strawberry Jelly Chips and Sweet Bread" is "packed with select vitamins and nutrients supporting cognitive performance" and is "scientifically formulated to power your core gaming systems for maximum performance."

Yeah, I still don't know what that really means. I do know it sounds impressive. I'm honestly surprised it doesn't have the "this product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease" footnote. The entire package, if you were to eat it all at once (which is, let's face it, what most people in front of a keyboard are going to do with this) gives you 75% of your RDA for Vitamins A, C, E and Niacin with 30% of your magnesium. Of course it's also 60% of your fat intake for the day.
