Energy drinks

[skybytch 259]

This topic hasn't been covered here for awhile so I'm resurrecting it.

If you drink energy drinks, which one is your favorite? Post why it's your favorite, which other ones you've tried, where you buy 'em and where you'd like to be able to buy them too if you're so inclined.

I've tried Red Bull, Rock Star and Go Fast. I prefer Go Fast.

Never tried any of em. I almost bought a go fast once until I found out the tiny little can was over $2. For that price it better have more than caffeine in it.

i've tried go fast and red bull, and i like the taste of the go fast best, but the red bull is more readily available in your average convenience store and i find it has a better kick to it.

being a can-eh-dian, we can't buy any of the good ones up here so the only time i get to try them is when i travel south.

I hate them all. The only thing I like is Red Bull with vodka. I can't stand Red Bull on its own, but vodka really improves its taste.

I am amazed that anyone actually ENJOYS the flavor of these things. The aftertaste is equally as bad.


I think I could market piss with high doses of caffiene added and make a buttload of cash.

180 baby!

As a BASE jumper, I just got to love the name. It'd be like an energy drink named "bag lock" for skydivers.

I'm also a big fan of Go Fast! because of all the cool things they've done for skydiving (in general) and BASE jumping (in particular). For many of the same reasons, I've long had a certain distaste for Red Bull (sponsoring people to flagrantly violate BASE ethics just isn't so cool, in my opinion).

I shoulda stuck a can of GoFast in your hand when you were down here.

[TomAiello 25]

I actually agree with sdgregory. The tastes are generally foul. I actually find Go Fast! quite nasty.

180 actually doesn't taste bad. It's kind of like thickened Orange Fanta.

You may have gotten me really really excited! Does it taste like a thickened version of the Orange Fanta in the US or in Spain???? The Orange Fanta in Spain was orgasmic. I'm considering selling a kidney to get some shipped over here.

ROCKSTAR!!!!!

I love that stuff, almost the same flavor as redbull and gofast but twice the amount for the same price

I even skydive in a longsleeve ROCKSTAR shirt

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

[TomAiello 25]

The US, unfortunately. I know what you mean about the Euro-Fanta. It's quite different from the US version.

Have you tried the Latin American version? It's a bit better than the US, in my opinion. And there are a variety of other, similar products marketed in Mexico. You can find some of them in the ethnic section of some supermarkets.

A week ago I came across an energy drink at the Pribram drop zone in the Czech Republic. After I stopped laughing, I bought all they had to bring back.

I have no idea how it tastes, I just like the name.

SEMTEX

No! I'll have to go look for it now, though!!! Thanks for the tip! I'm going through Fanta withdrawl.

Nope, the beer was more than perfect.

I depend on none other than RedBull for those all or late night study sessions. I've tried AMP and RockStar, they both taste like crap IMHO...

RedBull just has this crisp, clean, and refreshing taste!!!

I've only recently tried Red Bull, and I love the taste... and the buzz... I love caffeine. But I think they're too expensive... never cheaper than $1.99.

I can't drink vodka, it makes me forget what I did

I have tried a few energy drinks, and have never noticed that they have given me any extra energy. Maybe it's cause I can drink a whole pot of coffee in the morning.

Sugar free Red Bull.

The lift is gentler... doesn't give you the nasty sugar body buzz of the full strength stuff.

I have tried so many and I think the better ones are : Red bull, Rock star, 180, and energy. The best name of a energy drink that I have seen is "Whoop Ass". Yes, there is a such thing as a can of 'Whoop Ass". It taste okay but I wouldn't drink it all the time.

I prefer Go Fast. (keep it in the community & I like the taste). . Second choice would be Blue Ox because it tastes similar to Go Fast, is available in grocery stores here (Chicago area), and has almost the same ingredients as Go Fast.
