Better to just eat healthy, exercise, and you won't need this nasty crap

That snap of the lan party reminded me of the http://tinyurl.com/warcrap video (watch the whole thing) - think their ones say on them rockstar or something, ironic

This is the kind of thing that fuels media stereotypes that everyone who plays a computer game is like that!

The purple Rockstar is nice, it's called Guava Punch

Mmmm, tried this one yesterday, hadnt tried it before, gets two thumbs up.

[Pob255]

I'd sugest trying some Lipovitan if you can find it.

That stuff has been around for a long time, well before red bull
It's no where near as "carbonised chemical waste" flavoured as red bull is.
And it got royal jelly in it.

Buuuuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

And here was I thinking the name Pussy would be hard to beat.
I take my hat off to you Animus

Anyone else not seen tropic thunder?

[Lee H]

So has anyone from hexus who did the testing had any unwanted side-effects since drinking all those energy drinks.

The public need to know these issues

[david@scan]

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

The orange flavoured one is much nicer.

[[GSV]Trig]

Blatent lies, the orange one is horrible, imho..

Niceness goes in order
Purple Rock Star
Original Relentless
Black Rock Star
Red Relentless








Red Bull

I await Part 2 with extreme excitement

BUT...surely you're missing one?

Well made, properly ground coffee in a monster Espresso. There is NOTHING finer. Coffee for the win... do you want me in on the next stage? I can do coffee for Europe... just behind Tumble.

Part two is not far away... and frankly, I think it'll be all kinds of awesome.

[AbitB3ny]

Oh yeah that was great. I always knew there was someone who needed to put the cap on what energy drinks were the best.

I my self like the 5 hour energy or Rock star Sugar free ;-)

Indeed. Part 2 is here in case anyone missed it:

The truth about energy drinks - part 2

In case anyone's curious Sainsbury's have 2 for £2 offers on for Monster and Relentless. I bought two monsters today - one green and one yellow. Not impressed so far - the green one tastes like red bull with a bag of lemon sherberts disolved in it. Sickly as. Still drinking it though as I need the caffeine this morning!

Edit: The yellow one is even worse than the green... It has a nice fruit flavour at first but way too much sugar again - 50g of sugar in one can

[[GSV]Trig]

Fave is still Purple Rockstar

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.

I followed your advice and bought my first can of Pepsi RAW today.

One word:

not-impressed-whatsoever-no-thank-you-sir

It sort of tastes like it wants to be real Pepsi but I'm afraid the natural world falls well short of substituting delicious chemicals successfully.

Also for such a teeny, tiny can, it's packed full of calories. Not really ideal for the health conscious.
