Just finished a bottle of Bawls

[Svnla]

Just bought a 10 oz. bottle and I didn't see anything special about it. I felt the same about RedBull. Just a bunch of overhyped and overpriced stuffs IMO.

Edit: I paid $2.25 for that small bottle.

 

[FoBoT]

the price is the special part
just like starbucks, if you pay $4 for a $1 cup of coffee, you are "special" too

 

[namelessentity]

I like RedBull for the taste. I don't usually buy it, but I have a co-worker who buys it by the case and usually gives one to me.

 

[StinkyMojo]

I like Bawls and Amp. Everything else tasts like piss.

I don't know if my body is messed up, but I've never felt a sugar or energy rush or anything from caffeine. Drinking anything caffeinated in the morning or night doesn't make me less tired. So I'm not really into energy drinks. I've had Bawls and Red Bull, and Bawls actually tastes good.

Do you have ADD? I have ADD and have heard that for some reason people with ADD don't have the same checmical reaction to caffiene and energy drinks as others. I can drink a Dr Pepper and go to sleep 5 minutes later. Same with red bull or that 5 hour energy drink. It's weird.

 

[Praxis1452]

bawls tastes better

 

[IGBT]

..booze mixers.

 

[MrPickins]

Sobe NoFear or Sobe Adrenaline Rush FTW

Bawls is tasty, but IMO doesn't have the same kick.

I dont and its the same for me. I think i just drank so much before my body gets used to it.

 

[Looney]

You're not suppose to drink it straight!

Home brewed coffee>all. Espresso does the same thing, but the machine costs a fortune.

 

[sjwaste]

An espresso machine will pay itself back fast if you're buying coffee out though. I paid like $450 for my Saeco Magic Deluxe (fully automatic). At $2 a coffee (if I bought it out, I would buy a large cup of regular, not a $4 drink), it's 225 cups plus the convenience minus the costs of making a quick shot before you leave the house. I don't go a day without coffee, and I usually leave with a double shot. It probably costs me 40 cents or so. Rounding off, even if I only save $1.50 a day, it's paid back in about a year.

I never understood the appeal of energy drinks myself. Seems like a good way to make people pay you 5 bucks for 2 cents worth of liquid in a 1 cent can. But then, I like coffee.

I'm pretty much dead to caffeine as well. I need real drugs plz.

I reckon ephedrine would be a good replacement for caffiene - you can get it in those 'herbal ecstacy' and 'natural high' tablets from head shops. Read the ingerdients.

Failing that there's always cocaine...

The FDA banned ephedra years ago

The ban was overturned a while ago I believe. Now most places don't carry ephedra products voluntarily. I should check out my local hippy shop. No mainstream store I've been to has Ephedrine.

 

[grohl]

Yeah, I pretty much stick to coffee. Its available everywhere. I drink it black like a man; drink enough and you'll get the same rush.

Have a double double(2 milk, 2 sugar) and it'll give you a similar rush.

I'm pretty sure what happened was that when they banned it, manufacturers turned to ephedrine HCL - a similar molecule which the body readily turns into ephedra. It was different enough to loophole around the ban, which is why ephedra was available for a while after the ban. But they finally got around to banning that too.

Note - I'm not 100% positive, I'll have to look it up.

I believe they actually overturned the ban like he said. Let us know, not anything that I am going to try considering it is one manufacturing step away from speed but I am curious to know if it is legal right now or not.

Full Throttle and Amp are the sh!t, Red Bull tastes like what I imagine paint thinner tastes like.
