Doctors Select Downtime Relaxation

Walking through a truck stop I spotted this bottle, which looks more like an engine cleaner than a beverage. Even though it was in the cooler I had to double check to make sure I would not be poisoning myself by consuming it. It looks like too cheap of a grade of plastic to contain something edible.
To me the drink had a vague cough syrup scent to it, but my friends all said that the only thing they smelled was Pixie Stix. The taste was more in line with their diagnoses than mine. It essentially tastes like berry flavored sugar candy that was made with fake sugar. It's not wonderful, but it's not a deal breaker either. I just don't understand how drinks that have the polar opposite results (giving you tweeker energy and mellowing you out) can both have such a similar taste.
This had a weird effect on me. I drank it and within 15 minutes I passed out. 20 minutes of slumber passed and then my consciousness returned and I was completely awake for about 5 annoying minutes before I fell back asleep without warning. Luckily that time it lasted until morning.
