It’s because we’re old. I was hit hard with the realization the other day, that I’m not the target audience of this product anymore. Does anyone else have trouble remembering that they’re not a kid? I’m like 30 years old, and I do not identify as an adult
Honestly I’m starting to forget what feeling like a kid was like. I’m 30 and yeah I don’t have all the answers and shit, but my teenage years were defined by an internal conflict I resolved in college, my relationship with my parents (one died when I was in college the other disowned me when I was in college), and high school.
My college years were defined by the wild shit my previous sentence said I went through at that time, as well as my studies, financial and housing struggles, and a relationship that ended less than a year after I graduated, and I moved away from my hometown after college.
I’m 30, I’m married, I’ve continued growing as a person my whole life and have no intent to stop now, my financial struggles are those of an adult of my generation with a decent career. I don’t really have any of the same problems I had as a kid except like my health and disability issues. Sometimes I have traumatic flashbacks to my teenage years but I haven’t had one in years. My interests have even matured. Sure I still don’t have all the answers, but anyone who says they do is lying to you and possibly themselves, and they may be trying to take advantage of you. I’m not a kid pretending to be an adult, I’m a person, and it turns out kids are too.
I’m in my 20s and I don’t really feel like an adult (I don’t know how to deal with stuff, how to take care of things), but I also don’t feel like a kid, because things targeted at kids don’t appeal to me and I barely keep up with what they’re up to now (is skibidi toilet still funny?)
I’m only 46 and most of my coworkers are in their early 20s so by the sake of being surrounded by the youths a lot of my time I am also a youths. I also have no idea what those things are either.

I’m 48, I’m not an adult but what the fuck is this shit we’re talking about?
Drinks with drugs (yes, sugar and caffeine are drugs. Fight me) targeted at children.
They put THC in drink form now too :)
That seems counterproductive for an energy drink.
It’s all crap targeted at children that came out when you were already well into your teens.
Oh, like the Power Rangers… cool thanks!

Just yell at me to get off your lawn already and go back inside and have your metamucil, grandpa.
Edit: I’m touched that two people stood up for this guy, seeing as I’m about to turn 48 as well (and I’ve been drinking metamucil.)
I literally am a kid (for a few months anyway) and I don’t feel like I’m the target audience either.
