Pre Workout Potions - Triumph of Marketing?

Afternoon all.

I tried a pre workout drink today (freebie sachet I acquired a while ago). Now, it tasted fairly vile (Granade pre-workout if anyone has heard of it) but I had a good workout...though I'm not entirely sure this was in any way accountable to using this stuff.

I wondered what people's thoughts were about pre-workout potions and whether anyone actually uses them?

Was my workout brilliant thanks to this, or for having a crumpet with syrup and banana?? (Please don't actually answer this last bit - I am joking!). :laugh:
