Fun episode. About the juice fountain, though. Sure it looks awesome, but how big a pain in the butt was it to clean? I hate cool machines that turn out to be royal rectal ream after you are done using them.

Very easy to clean! it comes apart in 3 pieces. Has a finish that repels fruit oils on the blade area---very cool.

Ok, just that makes it worth the extra bucks. Especially for a lazy confirmed bachelor. :p

I loved the end credits on this episode because it totally reminded me of when one of my roommates in college bought a deep fryer. The first night after we were done making fries and wings we just started grabbing whatever we could find and tossing it in the fryer. We fried bread, lemons, cheese, anything really that looked like it could go in there. The one problem I have with large special purpose stuff like juicers, fryers, or bread makers is that because they take up a lot of space they tend to end up in the cabinets where they get forgotten. At least that's how it always works out for me.

Also, I used to really like the normal Amp drinks(the green one) back when they were in the small red bull sized cans. I stopped drinking them after they stopped using the small cans because I couldn't deal with drinking a whole one of those things. But they really were my favorite energy drinks(I hate red bull and most energy drinks). They also worked perfectly at getting me through class without being jittery or crashing. Don't know what it was exactly about amp, but it worked for me.

Don't know what it was exactly about amp, but it worked for me.I was the same - the Red Bull sized can of Amp (original green) was a perfect size (actually at 8oz, it was considered a single serving).

I am OK with the the 16oz (Tall Boy) cans too, but on a road trip I had something called the Big Rig - 24oz (3 servings), and I felt like my heart was going to explode. ot good when I was driving to a presentation in front of clients.

My wife likes RedBull, but it does nothing for me.

I normally drink the 8oz or 16oz Sobe Energy Adrenaline Rush, but lately have moved back to Amp - well the new Lemonade version anyway. I hope it sticks around and becomes more common to find ... it is full of awesomeness.

On the next BBnB - Zack and Dana try three different energy drinks:

Zack - "Drink #1 has a decent flavor, a bit of a bite." <glug, glug>
Dana - "I agree, some what bitter." <glug, glug>

Zack - "Yeah, I like drink #2....
Dana - "Meee too, WOW that's AESOME!"
Zack - "and I'm getting a little buzz now, WOOHOO!" <glug, glug>

Zack - "OMGITOTALLYLOVEDRINK#3ITSREFRESHINGBUTNOTTOOMUCH"
Dana - "NOWAYILOVEDRINK#2BETTERBUTTHISONEISGOODTOOTHANKSFO RWATCHINGBOTTLESBLENDSANDBREWSI'MZACKNOWAITI'MDANA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

Haha, there does seem to be a bit of a growth of craziness towards the end of the episodes.

I never drank any sort of energy drink until I started working on an ambulance. Than I (along with the majority I worked with) became addicts. On a normal shift (12-16 hours) me and my partner would religiously go through 2-3 (each) of the big Monster's (either the 24oz. or sometimes the 32oz. BFC). Then if we pulled back to back shifts (24 hours) it would be double that... and sometimes when we would do back-back-back shifts (36 hours straight) it got ridiculous with the energy drinks. We were addicted to Monster and Overtime =). Anyways after 2 years of this abuse I started noticing I was getting strong heart palpatations... so I cut back on consumption... but the palpatations still persisted... so I stopped drinking them altogether and they went away... I was getting worried for a second and almost went in to see my family doctor at one point. I occasionally have one energy drink here and there, but i usually try to stay away from them.

(This is my first time watching this show) But Dana look really sick. Her eyes are sunken in and red, she look tired and a little sleepy.
