Who Else Is Addicted to Red Bull?


I tell ya what, it's on its way towards replacing coffee as my go-to beverage of choice for the early AM!

1. Used to. I don't trust taurine anymore for some reason.
Meh. You know what's really fun? Downing one of those tall-boy Rockstar Energy Drinks. Fuck, down two!

2. There's so many darn energy drinks to choose from!
All in quasi-attractive aluminum cans no less.

6. The only problem with the tall boys
Is that they get really skanky near the bottom of the can. It would be less offensive to buy two cans of Red Bull, but that shit's expensive. The price of one of the Red Bulls is the same as the giant tankard of the knock-offs.

3. Tastes good with booze
But I just can't handle the caffeine/jet fuel they put in the damn stuff.

10. try it with Diet Mt.Dew
You will feel like a hummingbird.
I had a resting heartrate of 90 one time after studying too long with those things...my nursing student roommate had to take me to the infirmary.

What does it taste like?

8. Well, to put it politely, you're not drinking it for the refreshing taste.

12. They don't have Monster "Assault" around here yet.
....But it sounds promising. So is it twice as strong as regular "Monster", or what? And does it come in the "low carb version"?

14. I don't think it's twice as strong or anything...
Edited on Thu Mar-03-05 12:00 AM by LoZoccolo
...but it has a very interesting taste, and is a definite improvement over the regular Monster which I found much too sweet. But yeah, a lot of what I like about energy drinks is how some of them have been very innovative as far as coming up with new flavors that don't taste like anything you've had before, going back to Hansen's Energy which I think was the original energy drink in 1997.

15. Oh shoot, I'm probably wrong.
Red Bull was around in Europe in 1987.

13. It tastes like cough syrup to me
I drink it when I need the caffeine, but I don't care for the flavor all that much.

17. HA! Those corporate artificial beverage makers have you now.

You've been brainwashed and assimilated into their herd of cash cows. Resistence is futile. You belong to them now.
