To me “orange pop” Is the flavour of adhd, is it?

Everyone I know that likes orange pop is kinda adhd, it just feels like the flavour of kids who can’t sit still, thoughts?

It's the toupee effect. You notice the people who drink uncaffeinated sodas more because they're not self medicating and mitigating their symptoms with caffeine.
Maybe something to do with this

- There does not appear to be any study showing a causal or correlational link between BVO consumption and hyperactivity or ADHD.
  
  Even if there was, orange sodas are one of many that contained BVO which means that you would expect any drink with BVO in it to correlate with ADHD not just orange flavored ones.
  
  On unlikely they'd be a link. Just coincidence. I'd assume anything laden with corn syrup would disrupt ADHD but that's purely an uneducated guess
- A boy is clever
Keenan loves orange soda.
- Isn't Kel the one that loves orange soda?
  
  Like famously it’s literally in his catch phrase
  
  Keenan probably loves it too, he just never expressed it like Kel did. 🤷🏻‍♂️
  
  Fuck, my meme memory betrayed me.
I cant stand artificial orange flavor tbh.
I don't know if its the mandala effect but I think I remember all the "wild" (90s) kids going to the color orange.
I never liked it. And I could sit still just fine. Wasn't hyperactive, which is why I was only diagnosed at 20 years old.
- Then you’re missing the H.
  
  I think I found it here, wanna bounce? …. Literally 😝😝
I was going to say I feel mountain dew is the flavor of ADHD but then I was told that their is orange flavoring and orange juice in dew so go figure
