Anyone tryin' out these wild new energy drinks popping up all over supermarket shelves? Or do you shun most of it as caffeinated snake oil rip offs?
Ever since Red Bull took off, it seems all the beverage manufacturers now want a hand in the can. Sobe, PimpJuice, Killer Buzz.. just to name a few.
I've had Red Bull TWICE only. First time I tried, I hated it. Tasted like medicine. The second time, I was thirsty and someone offered it and I loved it for the pure fact it was ice cold and I was thirsty. It surely didn't enable me to run a marathon, except maybe just mentally for a second. The price of this stuff is ridiculous though. They gotta' be making a KILLING on this stuff.
I recently tried this one called Rock Star Energy Drink, which costs $2.00/16 oz. can. It tasted sort of like Red Bull, but a little less "medicine-ee". I must say, I felt rather "pumped" after tanking the whole can. If I had gone to the gym right after that, I really think it would have given me a boost.
I also tried Vault, which tastes like a pumped-up Mountain Dew.. something I recommended Helen give a try. Pretty good actually, and on the cheaper side as far as "Energy Drinks" are concerned.
