    That stuff looks amazing! Seems it's not avaliable in the UK though...

    I went home feeling so ill last night. Normally I can handle my Relentless but it seems mixing it with Monster can lead down a long road of gastric unrest. Be warned!

    I actually quite like it... Needs to be cold though. Tastes like liquid cola bottles to me. Haven't tried Pespi RAW though I think that's a similar kind of thing - 'natural cola'

    Pepsi Raw is fantastic. It isn't an energy drink, just a classic cola recipe. Have you ever had any of the other naturally brewed colas? There is a premium one that you get in a lot of places, Fenwicks, or something like that. Raw is very similar to that, but not as expensive.

    I buy packs of the little mixer tins of Raw, it's amazing as a mixer with JD, vodka... or anything else I've tried it with.

    Thanks - might have to try it (the article has already made me try relentless for the first time - didn't taste a million miles away from red bull but I guess that's the idea)

    Pepsi Raw is awesome, it has a kinda of caramel aftertaste. I can only get it from superdrug around here though which is a little annoying as thats in the town centre.

    Rockstar Cola i think is average, as is redbull cola, its probs a little better than redbull cola though.
    The purple Rockstar is nice, it's called Guava Punch

    Thanks for that, now I don't need to bother trying Relentless. I hate Red Bull. Tastes like some weird chemical by product.

    Both Tesco and Sainsbury's have it up here.

    Originally, because of the bigger cans, it contained double the caffeine of Red Bull and apparently sustained you for longer.
    It's interesting that Red Bull started producing bigger cans shortly after Relentless came out (I think).
