Yep, time for another SObe thread!

I am drinking Sobe EDGE.

THIS SUCKS!!!!

It tastes TERRIBLE, IMHO.

Anyone else like it? I'll send it to you for a mousepad or something. (I bought 2) :)

I've never had a sobe, but I heard most of them taste pretty good... They're "made from the best stuff on earth"

aka - snapple inc.

Snapple SUCKS.
SOBE ROCKS!

Sobe is different than snapple! Very!

Lizard Lightning, Power, Cranberry Grapefruit(it tastes greaT! I don't even like cranverries or grapefruits...) and such...try one of those FIRST.

Some lady ended up in the hospital after drinking one of those drinks...the herbal stuff in it did something to her heart, I think. Anyway, they were saying that these herbal drinks might not be all that great because they aren't regulated.

Obviously you aren't old enough to drink beer......You never asked your mates when they come around if they care for an &quot;oral lubrication&quot; or &quot;liquid refreshment&quot;?



<<

<< What kinda oral lubrication is this? >>



Sorry, but that WAS dumb...

Gee, Maul, if you hate SoBe Edge that much, imagine how you'll feel about their new sugar-free &quot;SoBe Lean&quot;.

I will try just about any sugar-free drink once. So I'll give you a report. ;)

I like the white coconut SoBe, can't remember the name. It might be a limited edition blend. Some of the Snapple Elements are also good. What I don't understand is how a Canadian beverage company decided to name their drinks after South Beach Florida.

I'm hopelessly addicted to SoBe tsunami. I'm a sucker for orange-cream anything, and the discovery of this liquid exstasy (no not that kind) has just about made my summer.

I'm hoping they sell it at the snack bar on campus. Prolly charge $3 for it, as the rest of their stuff is usually 2x MSRP

Has this been documented? Sounds like an urban legend to me. . .

I've drunk various Sobe drinks...they're alright but not worth the premium charged for them.

Take the herbal ingredients for instance.....it has been shown that the drinks' content is so small that you'd have to drink many, many bottles of the drinks to get anywhere near theraputic levels of the herbs, such as ginsing, guarana, etc.

The ones I have tried were good.



<< snapple was good...back in the days when it was owned by quaker >>

When was this? I only remember them being owned by the three jewish guys.



Colt45,

Sometimes you just need a different taste so you don't get bored.

Around here, they're 10 to 20 cents more then a 20oz of coke/pepsi products.

I don't drink 'em cause they're &quot;healthy&quot; I drink em cause they taste good. Besides, the sugar alone in them has to outweigh any potential health benefit.

Sobe relatively cheap around here, more expensive than a can of soda, far less than Snapple, Poweraid, etc. Frequently $1 a bottle.

I like the coconut one, but wouldn't make a steady habit of it.

Our local warehouse outlet store sells a mixed case version of Sorbe.

I love the Lizard Lightnings, and have one going at my desk right now.

The white Coconut ones, and the pink Strawberry Banana are my favorites.

I like the Sobe Wisdom, I don't remember the exact fruits, but it's kind of citrus-y. I don't drink sugary beverages too often, though.
