I was strolling through a store where I live, and I saw an energy drink called "Rockstar". Of course, being a junky as I am, I looked at the ingredients. They were abnormally high or a drink. When I checked the side of the can, it displayed a message telling the viewer junkies that it was not legalized through the health department (or something like that. feel free to look and type it word for word haha).

anyways...this rose a question in my head...Anyone that has heard of Jolt can answer this, anyone who hasn't might just leave.

Is the food and health department breaking american rights by illegalizing energy drinks from the market? Couldn't a company just put the message on the side like Rockstar did?

If cigarettes can do it, then energy drinks can as well.

PS: Monster > Jolt and Rockstar.

Yea a guy I know tired it yesturday he got weird for awhile but he only drank a little.

Man, the FDA has a lot of different loopholes. Also, here is a little known fact. It contains this really long named thing that is actually Siberian ginseng, which actually cuts down your adrenaline. Intoirnet serchin shurr helps, donnit?

People who drink energy drinks need to be wiped off this planet anyways. The Native Americans and Samurai didnt need no f*cking energy drinks and they killed some pretty intense things like Buffalo and other Samurai. That's the problem with this day and age, everyone is a big pussy. Sure, there are some assholes out there who do stupid insane thinks like Skydive and thus they justified in drinking energy drinks. But have they ever sliced a man's abdomen open spilling his internal organs with a 3 foot long piece of shrap metal and played it off like at "aight no thang." F*ck no they havent.

I am going to make an energy drink. But it isnt really doing to be an energy drink, just a can of Raid with the R crossed off. Our solgan will be AID! YOU NEED SOME F*CKING EXTREMEM F*CKING AID!!! And everyone who thinks they are f*cking extreme off the hook will buy it an die. And if anyone questions "Hey! Why is there an outline of a cockroach on this can?!" I will reply "BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE YOU SO F*CKING EXTREME YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SURVIVE AN ATOMIC BLAST! LIKE A COCKROACH! BECAUSE COCKROACHES ARE F*CKING EEEEEXTREEEEEEME AAAAH!" to which they will respond "AH! I GET IT! THAT IS F*CKING EXTREME AAAAAH! I AM BUYING TEN!!!!"

lol.

I wanted to try an energy drink to see how hyper I would get...
I don't know, if it's not OK'd by the health department I might be having second thoughts.

Jewp, if I could, I would totally siggy your post, but I can't so i'll book mark the topic.

tnyhwk900 · 08-3-2005, 07:09 PM

Don't Red Bulls taste like shit, shox? Haha, shox drinks shit.

The place I play DDR at has a vending machine with Amp in it. It doesn't give me much of an energy rush, but damn, is it good.

**FishFishRevolution** · 08-3-2005, 07:36 PM

I drink red-bulls for the taste every now and then. It's an aquired taste.

jewpinthethird · 08-3-2005, 07:48 PM

Man, Red Bulls? It's like drinking a tarty multi vitamin.

deltro300111 · 08-3-2005, 10:33 PM

Bawls... the marketing make them taste good.

-Technically Red Bull has the most Caffeine, 150mg/10oz.. Bawls is only 80/10oz, but I like Bawls better. If I want to seriously get hyper, or stay up late, I'll drink Red Bull, but Bawls is like beer for me- don't really want to get drunk, but still want a buz.

Sera13 · 08-3-2005, 11:18 PM

Ok i Drink Energy Drinks for the flavor only cuz im not affected by caffeine like most people, I can drink 6 bookoos in anight and still pass right out. My favorite energy drinks are Bawls (best best) Then Full Throtle(sp?) and BooKoo but only the orange one, the yellow has a horrible after taste. Then there is another one i used to drink i cant remeber what it is but on the side it Reads somthing like do not consume more than one serving withing like.. some amount of given hours. Each serving contains the legal amount of caffeine. And it comes two servings per can.. oh well.i drank the whoel thign anyway. Never drink them on empty stomachs though it makes you feel like crap. Other than that.. i am all for it

Cyborg_Mermaid · 08-3-2005, 11:23 PM

Jewpin, I heart you so much. I think I laughed for a solid hour.

And energy drinks suck, they never taste the flavor as advertised and are madly overpriced.

hydrojakep · 08-4-2005, 12:50 AM

I'll drink whatever i can get for a buzz.

It worked the first five times,

now i drink so much caffiene it doesnt do much at all :/

Chocoborider29 · 08-4-2005, 12:58 AM

52 ounces of coffee before work every day. I feel you. I feel you.

08-4-2005, 02:34 AM

I have considered trying an energy drink before a long DDR session. I would have today but the arcade was sold out of Full Throttle, and I hear that's the best for energy. Bawls didn't really do much for me the last time I had one. But then again I wasn't doing anything really physically active.

ThEclipse · 08-4-2005, 02:42 AM

Full Throttles are fucking sick. Rockstars would have to be my favorite, followed by Red Bull and Amp. I drink it for the taste as well. I probably like Rockstars the most because you get them in big cans, instead of small ones for the same price. The sad thing is, I've seen 8.2 ounce Amps for $2.19 and and 14 ounce Amps for $1.99 in the SAME DAMN STORE.

Chocoborider29 · 08-4-2005, 12:29 PM

ThEclipse is my new hero. PERSONALLY I enjoy all of them but red bull.

**stretchypanda** · 08-4-2005, 01:12 PM

So there was this one time I tried to drive from Oklahoma City to my parents' house on about 4 hours of sleep followed immediately by an intense practice. I stopped at just about every gas station along the way to buy an energy drink and a water and to just stretch out... and after the first stop I was pulling over to vomit energy drink.

Mmmm low sugar tolerance.

But seriously, consuming an energy drink before any kind of rigorous exercise is about the stupidest thing I've ever heard. The high sugar and caffeine content in those things dehydrates you, and then you add your level of exertion and the fact that you've consumed a pound of sugar immediately before a workout and you've got some rapid evacuation of stomach contents.

Las Vegas, Feburary 2004, Caeser's Palace, Location: Arcade

It was my first time playing DDRMAX2. I was fairly good to begin with, I could pass most 9 footers, but my goal was to finally pass Max300. After a few tries, I could tell I wasn't feeling as energetic as I did when I first started playing. Ah! But that gift shop is selling Energy Drinks! So I buy a Red Bull, drink it, and set out playing again. "Oh man, I think I am going to vomit" I calmly said to my friend.

Well, long story short, I was done with playing DDR for the rest of the day.
