afaik honest placebos work in things where there is chronic pain, caffeine withdrawal is pretty intense, so this would have to be implemented randomized over time (at first you get either 0% or 10% decaf and it tritates up to full decaf over some weeks)
I have long thought that there is a huge opportunity for a chain of Placebo Coffee shops, where they serve decaf to a randomly-selected 50% of customers.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1061389294953103360 …

Ironically enough, serving myself decaf coffee is the example of consciously buying a placebo. For me it definitely works at least 50% of the time.

I’m pretty sure Philz has been doing this for years. I’m always the unlucky 50%
