1. I see those 5 Hour Energy commercials on Hulu all the time

The most cringe inducing one so far is where mom is shown rushing to her car as she gulps down a 5 Hour Energy with the super perky voiceover, "It's quicker and easier than coffee!"

Yes, so isn't meth, but you don't see people snorting crank with their morning paper.

The sad thing, is that 5 Hour Energy is also a heavy sponsor of NPR. Does anyone remember the episode of WKRP where Johnny Fever refused to read the ad for the "pep pills"? Sadly, NPR doesn't have the same ethical standards as a fictitious radio station anymore.
