Rockstar is definitely at the top, I prefer the sugarless as with all energy drinks because unlike diet pop, the taste doesn't really bother me and might as well not have all that unnecessary sugar.

The best thing about Rockstar is that it contains milk thistle, which helps detoxify the liver. Now I'm not sure if it has a dose big enough to actually be active, nor am I one of those hippy health store fags who believes that you must "rid your body of harmful toxins", but maybe it helps a little.

The only energy drink I've ever had is one can of RedBull. I didn't really think it was all that great. It doesn't taste good and it didn't seem to do much as far as energy.

Ugly Bastard · 02-12-2005, 02:30 AM

Just had a Sobe Adreneline Rush for the first time tonight. It was pretty okay. At first I absolutely hated it, but it's taste grew on me, and by the last drop, I found it to be an acceptable energy drink.

As far as the energy side of things goes, I have never felt the "shakes" as much as I did from that can of Sobe. Dear God did that wind my watch...

I told you.

I tasted something wonderful last weekend. Besides all of your mother's pussies, I had a Monster Energy Drink. Let me tell you, it was incredible. Most energy drinks I find over-bearingly sweet. Monster is just perfect. I loved it. I almost loved it more than I love Red Bull. Almost...

I hear caffeine is just as bad for you, if not worse than most soft-core drugs.

Beebs · 02-16-2005, 11:56 AM

Add some liquid, theres a real energy drink.

Glad to see you tasted Monster, aka the nectar of the gods. I was never really an energy drink connoissieur until a few years ago when FC was telling me about this great energy drink called "monster". At this time the only popular energy drink was Red Bull, and even that was somewhat new, so i was apprehensive to try it out. Later that night, he showed up at my house with two Monster energy drinks, and gave me one...been my favorite energy drink since. Although I prefer regular green can opposed to the low carb or assault, it's still a damn good drink. Great value for the price ($2.00) too. Unfortunately i'm sure that will go up sooner or later.

My second favorite energy drink is going to have to be Rock Star. I pretty much only get it when Monster is not available. And when neither of those two are available, I reach for a smaller but still good-tasting Mountain Dew Amp energy drink.

Well guess what guys!

All my years of Energy Drink consumption are beginning to pay off.

Just yesturday I was contacted by a writer for the IDS (IU's student paper, but it's very popular, everybody reads it) who was doing a story on the recent "Energy Drink Crazy."

He has talked to the bars about sales of Jagerbombs, and to the Health Center about the health effects, but he wants a student's perspective.

This is where I come in.

I started a "Facebook" group (back when people used the damn thing) called "God Bless Red Bull," the writer of the article found the group, contacted me, and is going to interview me over the phone sometime around 5pm tonight.

I am pumped.

You have to give it another try. It's like marijuana... (at least that's what Boonhausen tells me).

If you can get Nubblies mentioned in the paper, there may be something in it for you

Oh shit thats a brilliant idea.

Haha. I was thinking the exact same fucking thing, and then I scrolled down to discover you had mentioned it too. You really need to do that. Fucking talk this shit up like there's no tomorrow for Nubblies. The more dumb bitches and drunk fucks we get on here the more fun we all get to have.

Beebs · 02-17-2005, 01:45 AM

Personally I think dillution of the nubblies brand could be detremental.

Personally, I wouldn't mind slitting your throat for not having a custom title nearly 302 posts after being allowed to have one. Fuck you.

I mentioned nubblies, we'll see how it goes.
He asked real general questions "how often do you drink energy drinks, do you think you will continue to drink them after you graduate, what do you think about jagerbombs" he said he might call me back so hopefully ill be able to really ham up nubblies next time.

Ugly Bastard · 02-19-2005, 04:52 PM

As I work on can #2 of Monster, I'd like to share this.

Here Is Why Monster Energy Drink Has Passed Red Bull For Best Energry Drink IMO:

1.) Taste: Since drinking Monster, its made me realize how sweet Red Bull really is. Now, Red Bull isn't overly sweet or anything, but it's not as good as Monster. Monster is so smooth, it just flows down the throat crisply, while Red Bull has a wee bit of overkill in the sweetness department.

2.) Size of Can: With Red Bull, you get 8.3 ounces of a slightly too-sweet beverage. Monster comes in a massive 16 0z. can that can be enjoyed for much longer than Red Bull (thus spacing out it's affects for a longer period of time).

3.) Price: The standard cost of Red Bull is $1.99, I just bought a Monster for $1.49. Now, I'm not sure if that's how much Monster always costs, but lets say that it's actually $1.99; when you consider you're getting twice the fluid than Red Bull, it's really a sweet sweet deal.

4.) Health: Monster Energy Drink is a "Lo-Carb" Energy Drink. Now, while I know both Monster and Red Bull are ultimately horrible for your body, and in a sense, this is like arguing that Miller Lite is better for you than MGD; bottom line is, facts are facts, and Monster's a little healthier for you.

Conclusion: Monster has replaced Red Bull as my energy beverage of choice. You're damn mistaken if you think I don't still love Red Bull, I simply love Monster a little more now.
