Energy drinks

CR83 - 7-18-2007 at 09:26 PM

Holy shit, there are a TON of these things. I have to admit, I have tried a few. I like 180 Orange but there is just way too much sugar in it. The sugar free is good though.

Any who, my point is- who digs these things and what is your opinion?

JawnDiablo - 7-18-2007 at 09:51 PM

I think NOS is the strongest one I've had.
I've drank red bulls on nights where im still out of it the night after a rough night and want to kick it.
i dont mess with the stuff much though
more of a coffee man

BDx13 - 7-18-2007 at 10:10 PM

never had any of 'em.
no interest.

tireironsaint - 7-18-2007 at 10:15 PM

Tried a few, they all taste like shit and I can never tell any difference between before and after with my energy level, so I find them pointless.

They've got one that costs $1.09 (painted on the can) that I had the other day. Sugar-free version actually woke me up a bit. Red Bull hasn't done shit for me since they took the ephedra out years ago... back then Y2J Stinger was the best on the market. Never been impressed with Rock Star.

I'll still chug the hell out of any of them on a long road trip when I need a break from coffee. But I'm also more of a coffee drinker most of the time.

BDx13 - 7-18-2007 at 10:19 PM

that's a lie.

back in 96 or 97, i spent all night drinking red bull and vodkas at some wild dance party in england. we started drinking on the train from london on our way to cambridge. or oxford. or one of those fancy schools where the party was. anyway, my friends and i had press passes for this party from mtv, so we there was no waiting in line for drinks and there certainly was no paying for drinks. i was fucked and hyper. i remember wandered into someone's dorm room looking for a toilet to use. the people woke up and started yelling, so i just showed them my press pass and started pissing. cause you know, that makes sense. bythe time the sun came up, i was a hurt piece. i remember catching a nap on this manicured lawn in front of some of the most beautiful buildings i'd ever seen. god, i love england.

See, that's what I mean about the ephedra in Red Bull years ago!

LOL! :D

i like Red Bull and Jaegers every so often, but RB by itself doesn't do a whole lot for me.

Monster [green] worked good on me and tastes completely different than RB.

this was the best tasting as well as most effective on me:



but i don't really need energy drinks anymore.

I heard there is a Hulk Hogan energy drink. I cant find it anywhere.

They need to make a Pac-Man energy drink. Have the marketing centered around a 'power pellet'. Where pac-man drinks the power pellet and gets all hyped able to go do his thing (chomp ghosts).

Christ, I am way too into this.

CR83 - 7-19-2007 at 09:23 AM

The most powerful one I had was from the gym. It was from Redline. It claims to help you burn fat by making you cold and causing you to shiver. This shit actually made me cold it was crazy. Only drink half a bottle though. If you take the full amount it is way too much.

random - 7-19-2007 at 09:46 AM

I thought the price of Redline, $40 for a case of 24, seemed a bit high until I realized that Red Bull is $2-3 for a can... I just never thought of buying energy drinks by the case.

Dave - 7-19-2007 at 09:56 AM

i like Rockstar, its my favorite that i've tried, but i really only have one like every two weeks or so.

Although last night i had a "DUFF"
it was good, kinda like an orange flavour mountain dew

yeah, i think the main reason we were drinking the red bull (and vodka) was cause it was new and novel. i don't think i had even heard of it before that night.

crazyfists28 - 7-19-2007 at 12:47 PM

mt dew amp overdrive is pretty awsome. cherry flavored. i don't notice the kick from these drinks but i prefer them over regular soft drinks. i try to drink flavored water more than any of these alternatives.

These are awsome. Ton of energy and no calories. Its made with green tea but is carbonated. Seriously they are really good and have no sugar.

Siczine.com - 7-19-2007 at 02:16 PM

I absolutely cannot stand energy drinks, I despise all of them. If I need a boost I'll drink a coffee, and even that I haven't been drinking as much.

Spoiler - 7-19-2007 at 02:47 PM

This one was the strongest until it was banned...it had 280 milligrams of caffeine COCAINE ENERGY DRINK

Murk - 7-19-2007 at 08:00 PM

I'm very interested in this one! Is this linked with the Simpsons Movie coming out next week?

Also, I'm curious about the Vitamin Energy drinks... aka, the Vitamin Water version of an energy drink. The rest that I've had I hated.

I have that one, and one in a slimmer can (similiar to red bullstyle) and its called "Flaming Moe's". Just the can itself rules.

clevohardcore - 7-20-2007 at 03:15 PM

I got to hit a 7 11 soon. Matt Groening said its awsome to hit a 7 11 now when everyone is happy. Normally everyone is depressed in those stores.

I would drink a flaming Moe. That is for sure.

DaveMoral - 7-20-2007 at 04:12 PM

So these Simpsons themed energy drinks are at 7-11?? Still haven't picked up a Squishee...

BDx13 - 7-20-2007 at 04:35 PM

yeah, aren't they turning some 7-11s into quickie marts as a promotion for the movie?

DaveMoral - 7-20-2007 at 09:18 PM

I think all of them are selling "Kwik-E-Mart" products, I don't know about changing signage. If they do, I'm definitely there. Especially if the Indian clerks wear name tags that say Apu. The last one I was in had a dude named Tahir.

MyOwnWay - 7-20-2007 at 10:53 PM

The two Simpsons energy drinks I got, I purchased at a novelty store called Spencers.
