That's Lucozade Muck

That's some pretty crazy stuff there. I think it has all been said in that thread already about how ignorant the article is, but calling it as addictive as heroine is incredibly over-the-top for me.

Out of 50,000 subscribers, you are likely to get a proportion of people who become insanely addicted to the game. The same thing could be said about TV, or virtually any other form of entertainment.
