New energy drink called Cocaine

I think I should sue Red Bull for never giving me wings. >>'

Thats false advertisement dammnit! When I drink that nasty crap, I better get some damned wings! :mad:
 
We used to have a drink over here called Jolt (unsure if we can still buy it) which stated it contained twice the caffeine of that of normal coke, i bought a bottle and was bobbing along the ceilling all afternoon, so i would dread to think what this new stuff would actually do

also i don't think for a minute the British Gov't would allow it to go on sale here especially with that name.

Rebull is lovely with a double vodka, go out for an evening have about 10 doubles (half a can of redbull with each one), trust me you will have wings, shortly followed by the 5am ping (i suddenly wake up at 5am with absolutely no chance of going back to sleep)
:D
 
Caffeine, in correct doses, has a bad rap. The nanny-press loves to create boogeymen for people to fear.
I used caffeine pills to great effect in the past, when doing a job (treeplanting in the Canadian woods) that required maximum physical output for 9-10 hours a day, 6 days a week. They made an enormous difference. One of those little pink pills and a few tugs on a doobie when the energy/spirit started to flag around noon; ROCK and ROLL BABY! OW! (we would get kind of excited, sometimes)

:p

Red Bull & double vodkas.. Yummy! I don't think I've ever had 10 in one night, maybe 7. And for me, the "ping" is around 7:30, but otherwise, the same!
 
I still do not get the "energy drink" craze. What is the purpose for all of those who partake? Isn't it just better to create natural energy by working out and eating right? And if you don't are you not just creating a crutch by using this stuff? Just curious really as to what people use/need this for?

I don't drink energy drinks either, just cause they sorta creep me out. But basically people drink them to stay up longer, wake themselves up in the morning, or for the slight high they give (I have friends who drink them for all of these reasons). Plus in general they don't taste too bad and there's no drinking age for energy drinks.

Jolt still exists, though in fancy new packaging.

Was going to say "everyone remembers their first Jolt," but then found that Jolt included that phrase in their FAQs. Now I feel like an under-caffeinated lackey.
 
That companies marketign department should be fired for fraud. They are frauding their employer by not working. That is so unoriginal of a name.
 
:rolleyes: lame, don't get me wrong, I enjoy a red bull occasionally, but honestly, the energy drink market is so flooded right now. I might pick up a can if I came across it in the convenience store, but I bet this product fails like so many others.

With the exception of the name this is just going to be another generic red bull rip off though, why can't anyone play with the packaging like bawls does?

Water Joe - they have it at the Walgreens by my office. A commodities trader friend of mine says they guys in his office make their coffee with Water Joe. "Run for the bathroom." :eek:
 
I'm still wiating for them to market a Max Flu remedy that you snort. All those city types would love that.

"Too ill to work but need to earn millions for your company today? Snort this and get that promotion!"

:D
 
RedBull is actually quite strong stuff. If you have a can in the afternoon I guarantee you will have trouble sleeping later that night.

350% stronger than redbull is just frickin mental.

One question though. If it contains a mouth numbing ingredient how do you know what it tastes like?
