wake the f**k up

My first product review - FX NEO (otherwise known as Hard Minty Eyedrops) from Japan. I ordered these a few months ago in an attempt to treat a dangerous condition I currently suffer from: when I am in a moving car after dusk I fall asleep, regardless of who is driving. Since falling asleep behind the wheel is generally frowned upon, I try desperately to avoid these situations and have tried eating and drinking many different things (coffee, Monster, candy, healthy snacks etc...) in advance of my trips and while on the road. I adjust my seat, hit the AC, sing showtunes, pinch/slap my own face, listen to Slayer. Nothing works. I get in the car, the sun goes down, my eyes close. It's not as if I am tired, it's just the eyes....they sleep. So, back to my product endorsement - hard Minty Eyedrops by FX Neo. I tried these this past weekend, and they work. I am not sure if it's the pain or what, but they sure do return me to a state of alertness!! I was driving from VA to NJ, and about an hour into my trip I started gettin' drowsy. I pulled over and took one drop in each eye. wow. So, for the first minute I just sort of leaned back in my seat and cried a little. Then I tried opening my eyelids, it took a little while to adjust and be able to see again. I dried my tears and blinked away the stars and I was good to go! I was fine for two hours, then I needed to re-drop, and that got me home. sooo... there's probably some terrible stuff in there, I can't tell because most of the packaging is printed in Japanese. What is in English is mostly a list of chemicals that I don't recognize anyway. There is Taurine in there, which is the active ingredient in Monster (and Red Bull as well, I beleive). But really, I think the real efficacy of this product lies in it's ability to literally shock your system with pain. Remember : they're called Hard Minty Eye Drops, and they're really aptly named. They work, and that beats the hell out of wrapping my car around a tree or running someone else off the road. Another reason to love Japan.
