Energy Drinks

[dustcrazy]

First off I'm a realy big fan of Kevin and Alex, may TSS live on in memory. Any ways I'm setting here at a-school going through a proxy and still buzzing from about 3 Rockstar. So heres my question is whats your favorite energy for getting you up and going.

[phatlip12]

I really like Pimp Juice but if I'm going to drink anything to get energy it would have to be a Starbucks Expresso. Rockstar IMO tastes like ass.

[xibalba]

Sobe 20oz bottles

[tokenuser]

Sobe 20oz bottlesI like Sobe as well ... really liking the Sobe Energy drink (cans, lightly carbonated Citrus - refreshing with a nice kick).

I do miss the AMP "mini" cans. The "Tall Boy" and "Big Rig" cans are too much.

Rockstar, Red Bull, and all the other taurine based drinks taste like ass IMHO.

[xibalba]

In the bottles the Citrus is the best and Dragon Fruit a close second.

[ihatecrayons]

Monster Energy is my favorite. I hate people that drink Red Bull, it tastes like five kinds of ass to me.

It's all about Final Fantasy XII Potion.

[magunwarrior]

Bawls, Sobe, Amp, and Monster.

Redline.

It makes you uncontrollably shake and roll on the floor. Basically crack.

[yensed]

I've tried pretty much all of them. The 2 which I prefer are Bawls and Red Bull. Bawls is like Soda but does give me an energy boost when I need it. Red Bull does basically the same, But has the Citrus taste to it which energy drinks are known for and comes in a nice small can.. My 2 best friends love Monsters(XL) and drink them Multiple times a day. I honestly wonder if its possible to get a slight addiction from some energy drinks.

P.S. Monsters taste like Vomit. Ughhh. How can people drink that crap?!?!?

[magunwarrior]

Monster is really an acquired taste in my opinion, the first time I drank it I couldn't even finish a quarter of it. But now I love it and is my second choice behind Bawls.

[ihatecrayons]

to me, Red Bull is a ripoff because for the same price at the little can, you can get the big can of Monster. and I think Monster tastes better, but that's just my opinion.

[magunwarrior]

Yeah I personally hate red bull.

[phatlip12]

Have any of you guys tried the Cocaine energy drink yet? I really want to try it but haven't seen it in any stores around here. I'm going to see if spencers has it next time in there...

[yensed]

Have any of you guys tried the Cocaine energy drink yet? I really want to try it but haven't seen it in any stores around here. I'm going to see if spencers has it next time in there... Last time I checked it was only available in SF, LA and NYC.

[farva]

Yeah Cocaine is pretty good. You can order it online. Nice pick me up but I felt really sleepy when it wore off. Has a burning feeling in your throat when you drink it. My favorite drink is LOST. I know it is in SF and Sac area but havent been able to get it anywhere else.

[ihatecrayons]

I'll have to try Cocaine (lol never thought I'd be saying that...) since you can order it online. Seems interesting.

[samureye]

All we get here is Red Bull and I don't drink that much at all. I live on water and diet coke.

[acidburn]

Jones Soda has an energy drink called Whoop Ass. It is pretty good. But I haven't had it in a while because stores locally don't carry it anymore. Can get it online, but I don't feel like paying the shipping cost.

[yashar]

Just try redline, nothing can beat the energy it gives you.

[dustcrazy]

I've tried Cocainne twice. But a note to energy drinkers, don't mix a big Monster and Cocainne. I was seating in first block with the twitches. Then came "down" realy quick which gave me a sick feeling.

[imaciman]

bawls. its great because it doesn't just get you all pumped up for a little while and then makes you crash.... unlike redbull, Monster, rockstar ect. IMO

[spectre51]

I am a big Cocaine fan. I might be biased cause my wife works for them but I like the taste and the feeling I get from it more than any other energy drink. I experience no crash with it compared to say red bull or some others.

I like monster too and amp is pretty good. Rockstar is by far the worst.

You guys can order two can sample packs from www.drinkcocaine.com

Just for some interesting news about it check out this news article:

[comhcinc]

i don't do caffeine which is where all the "energy" in these drinks come from.



i just eat a banana.

[yensed]

i just eat a banana. Which for some people can be worse then consuming large amounts of Caffeine.

[comhcinc]

Which for some people can be worse then consuming large amounts of Caffeine.

how so?
..........

[kjcdude]

all i drink is monster

[bman]

there are too many to choose from, but where I live the easiest to get and is everywhere is Rockstar.

[zsgamer]

I had one of the cocaine drinks in Memphis, TN. It didn't taste too bad, and it kinda felt like some carbonation went into my nose or something. I don't really know how to explain it, but it was really weird. Oh yeah, Monster and Bawls are my favorite drinks.

[jecko024]

Bawls, Red Bull and MD --- o and cant forget Powerade hahahaha

Except I read that guarana is bad for me, o well lol

[nobleman]

ugh... cocaine tastes like battery acid to me

[dmt]

ugh... cocaine tastes like battery acid to me

The worst something takes the better it is for you, i.e. broccoli.

[revebo]

Bawls is the best hands down, however they can be a pain to find in stock.. If there is a biglots store in your area they have kick ass Energy Pro Energy Drinks that are the size of Monster's at .60 cents a can.. I have an arsenal...

[dmt]

Gatorade is the original.

[j34nn07]

The taste of an energy drink don't really count on the balance for me... So, I'm really just looking for the amount of stimulants in it. No matter what kinds of stimulants are they. The Rockstar one is pretty good... I'll say my favorite tho. You can check on : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_drink ... I've realised that it's not all kind of Rockstar who avec the same amount of stimulants...

BTW : Sorry for my non perfect english... I'm french...

[popltree2]

For me it is Red Bull and Bawls with the occasional Mountain Dew MDX mixed in for fun. I am wanting to try Cocaine too. Notice the capital "C".

[magunwarrior]

Bawls is great, but if I buy it a buy a few, seeing how you don't really get a whole lot for the price. MDX is alright I doesn't really taste all the much different than Mountain Dew, which I guess is a good thing.

[chevmalfet]

I tend to stick with the sugar free red bull... that and I roast my own coffee. I find the sugar is what causes the crash, for me, and the red bull is less of a buzzy energy than straight coffee. I also found some of the V8 energy drinks fairly effective, but locally not so available. Ironically they were everywhere in Jamaica.

I like one of the sobe's as well, but one tastes chalky to me and I can never remember which it is.

(To all the "I hate people that like red bull" folks--when you develop a bit of security in your own opinions that hatorade'll go away).

[tink2112]

ok i feel like im the only person who hasnt heard of bawls. what the hell is this??? (obviously an energy drink but what makes it so great and where can you get it??)

[tokenuser]

I just tried Coolah ... "Coolah is a village in Australia where everyone's got a little more energy. They paint. Play rugby. Sing. Throw darts. And they drink Solo, the beverage with a lemon tang that was the inspiration for Coolah Energy. We added Australian Boronia, Taurine and B-Vitamins to make this one bonzer drink."

OK, back home, Solo was one of my favourites. Real refreshing lemon soda ... so tis should have been good right? Well. It was OK. Not great. We don't use high fructose corn syrup as a sweetener downunder - we use sugar. Don't let anyone tell you it makes no difference. Caffeine was welcome, but overall I was disappointed :(

[chevmalfet]

Tink,

Bawls is a jolt cola like beverage, heavily branded, marketed to gamers mostly. The first time I saw it was in a CompUSA, which I thought was a bit odd, but I think they've more or less stuck with that distribution model (computer/game stores). The bottle I remember had a weird french tickler type texture going on and their "message" is very low brow male, 14-35.

The caffeine content comes from guarana or something similar, which I'm tempted to write off as a marketing gimmick, but don't know enough about. I tried Bawls many many moons ago, not for me.

[tink2112]

french tickler like a sexual device? im intrigued

[j34nn07]

Yeah french tickler like on some sexual devices. Blue small bottle. Bawls doesn't give me any kick at all... But it tastes good... Very good. But not enough stimulants in it

I love Jolt Red.

[flawedlegacy]

Bawls, Jolt, and Red Rain (exactly the same as Red bull but way cheaper).

[comhcinc]

*Stares at empty bottle of Bawls on his coffee table*

Must.Resist.the hilarity!

Oh and congrats on the Elite man.

[shanehensley]

I think Rockstar Juiced, and Bawls have the best flavor...but none of them really give me that much "energy". Maybe a little bit, but not much. I usually get them when I have the 5AM shift at work.

does that qualify one for dreamgirl status?

[comhcinc]

not with those posters on the wall

[tink2112]

it might not be her room

[comhcinc]

it is the fact she would allow herself to be photo'ed there that and she doesn't quite look old enough

[tink2112]

maybe youre just too old... :)

[comhcinc]

yeah, i'll die alone

[tink2112]

aw now you're just being pessimistic. thats no fun

[comhcinc]

it's only pessimistic if i think it is a bad thing

[tink2112]

i suppose thats true.... way to make it a glass half full... anyway i doubt youre that old. youve got time

[rickweasel]

You can never go wrong with BAWLS! hahaha Jolt cola is good too but not much of a soda/pop fan. I take tea over soda/pop any day.

[comhcinc]

i was going to write something but it sounded more depressing than witty so here is a picture of my puppy

[tink2112]

aww cute. what kind is he/she?

[comhcinc]

ummmm white when he was thrust upon me i was told he was pomeranian mix.


some people don't lie well

[tink2112]

well hes cute anyway. even if his past is a mystery

[magunwarrior]

He could be some sort of ninja dog eh?

[comhcinc]

you can't see it but he is starting to turn brown on his back


or and i guess i like green tea chai

[chevmalfet]

Could be he just needs a bath?

And sorry tink, I don't think she qualifies for dreamgirl status as the bottle neck is quite stubby. Nice effort on her part though.

[comhcinc]

that's what i thought but no he is getting darker

[grape4pe]

It may just be me, but that dog strikes me as evil.
Almost as if it were plotting something.

[comhcinc]

it's my dog. of course its evil.

[j34nn07]

We passed from Energy drinks to the evil-looking-dog in 69 posts... Not bad! :)
But to make a link between «dog» and «energy drinks» : I saw this week on digg.com a submitted story that said : giving too chocolate to a dog can kill it... How about pouring some Red Bull in his water bowl ? Someone tried it yet ?

[comhcinc]

that would kill a dog as well. it's the caffiene that they can't handle

[djshock]

..or maybe he just starts acting like Hammy from "Over The Hedge"? That would be kinda awesome. Hmm, maybe i should try it with my flatmate's mouse?

[isamurai]

Monster tastes like cough syrup, as does pretty much any energy drink.
The only good ones are Bawls, Vitamin Water Energy, Whoop Ass, and Red Bull. And Sobe Energy.
