You can be absolutely sure it’s very popular among STEM students, not the least because they can understand why would they need it. I can only imagine the pressure to stay in Ivy League university, would totally make it reasonable to use one if you do five exams in a row.

Since you can find it being sold at raves in EU I’m absolutely sure a) it works; b) not convinced only one in five prescribed takes it and all other toss it in the toilet; c) there’s a surge in use and demand.
