Energy Drinks

It's all about the tall, light-blended java-chip frappacino at Starbux

Anyone heard of Bomba?



I've never drank one but I own a few bottles. It looks like a grenade and the pull ring is like a grenade pin. Mine even has Arabic writing on it, for that authentic al qaeda feel.

Tried some Bomba last year but i think they might have stopped selling them here now.

At the moment im pretty much sticking to Teho, a finnish brand.

I imagine it tastes like Red Bull or most other energy drinks?

One website that rates energy drinks said the Bomba packaging was in poor taste and disgusting considering how violent the world is at present, and that it could actually get you in a lot of trouble trying to carry one of the darker colored flavors of Bomba through a security checkpoint. They went on to say some of the flavors tasted somewhat unique and refreshing.

alot of it is marketing.... i'm not going to buy an energy drink that comes in a can that looks like it could be holding motor oil.... or poison via al qaeda eeek

[Animeniax]

Come on now, you sound like a wuss. They're just playing on the "energy" aspect of their product, like the explosiveness of a bomb, or the lubrication of a can of motor oil (to make the engine run well). Look at that one drink Cocaine. They want you to think you're getting the same high as using drugs. It's marketing. Doesn't mean it tastes bad. It could be the best energy drink you ever had.

OK. So, who else is a monster fanatic? Yes, the energy drink. I love my monster, especially khaos[/B]

This is what my roommates buy in packs of 24. I hate the stuff, but I drink it whenever I need it.

I also really like the Sobe stuff that comes in the red cans, Bawls, and sometimes Red Bull.

I forget which, but one time I had a flavor of either Rockstar or Full Throttle and it was one of the worst things I've ever drunk. It tasted like I imagine urine does and it caused me to relive painful memories from my childhood.

I guess that means that super soakers and nerf guns are also in poor taste and disgusting

I like to paint my supersoaker black and attach a laser sight, then go to the bank. Leads to hilarious misunderstandings.

And by hilarious misunderstandings, you mean you go to the bank, and bring your checkbook instead.

red bull once in while, gatorade most of the time

water everyday

and tea to help me sleep sometimes.

I've tried many energy drinks avalaible in France, and even Red Bull (forbiden in France).
From what I remember, nothing was really efficient in reducing the tireness. The effect was mainly getting more tense, which is not that efficient. I guess I mainly reacted to caffeine...

As a treatment, it seemed that a tad of sport with a mix of water/half lemon juiced/2 or 3 brown sugar cubes and table spoon of honey in 1,5 liter bottle of water, was the best thing for me. Drink it before, while, and after sports.
I think I'll start doing this again, and add some green tea I'll cold infuse the all night, the bottle in the fridge.

Xan suggested I post this here:

Bringing to you Powerthrist, the first energy drink made from real lightning.

*finishing off a 16oz monster khaos*

to add to the rediculousness of some energy drinks... i downed a 40oz full throttle slurpee yesterday from 7-11... it was really tastee and gave me quite the buzz. i sometimes just need a monster to keep from nodding off while i'm idling on the job.


6-22-2007 3:45pm central standard time.... i just finished a monster M-80..... its the new and improved version of monster khaos : 80% juice, 100% monster !!! so good...

[itadakimasu]

So... I tried some 'amp energy drink' the other day. It is out by mountain dew and they advertise it as not having a crash + burn effect and a more focused effect...

that is true. it does not leave me feeling like i do right now kinda cracked out and on edge after i have a monster... downside? it tastes like watered down grape soda.

[Sapphire]

Amps are nice.

Monsters used to be really big here. But once you try other stuff, monsters are just nasty. Especially the red one - it tastes like cola and cough syrup.

I love Sobe the best.

But alas, energy drinks are too expensive. So now I just drink coffee.
