Energy Drinks

[bliblblblbbllb]

They were selling these weird Bangs a while back that had no caffeine but instead were just weird lo-cal coconut waters. I guess everyone hated them because they went on clearance for 30 cents each and I drank tons of them and have never seen one on shelves since. They were called VOOZ and were flat too, not carbonated.

I buy these "wellblends focus" chewable tablets that look like a TUMS. They only have like 60mg caffeine along with something like 100% daily B vitamins, but they don't hurt my stomach like energy drinks do.

.....don't take it as a 1:1 truth that you must be a dopamine addict or caffeine addict if you don't get a buzz from caffeine. Some people are just wired differently.

V8 makes their energy drinks (in the redbull style) and they're pretty good. I don't hold any belief that they're healthy per say, but they taste good to me, especially the blueberry pomegranate one.

Sister got me two of those Ghost energy drinks to try for the first time (orange cream and bubblegum) she likes them so figured I’d be polite and give ‘em a try.

Orange cream flavor was…ok. Doubt I’d ever buy it but could have been worse.

The bubblegum flavor was “it could have been worse” fucking hell that shit was gross, and this was the one she personally recommended I try.

I like Reign and have had a mediocre experience with Bang, although I'm sipping on a Peach Mango flavor Bang right now so that might change.

Definitely try out the Swedish Fish flavor. Definitely tolerable, zero sugar, and a more mellow 200 mg of caffeine.

I wasn't impressed with the Ghost energy drinks, there's just other brands that do it better.

I was pleasantly surprised with Alani's coffee protein drinks. I had the cappuccino one. Not gritty, good coffee flavor, good macros (for an energy drink.) 100mg caffiene, 10g protein, 90 cal. They are pretty basic-bitch, no 500% B vitamins to turn your piss neon here: Pretty much just coffee, milk protein, cream, flavoring. They were like 2.80 at the store, but on their website you can get them for about 2 bucks each, buying in 24-packs.

If I knew someone in my life who was addicted to spending 15 bucks at Starbucks each morning, I would try to convince them to switch to these.

I haven't tried any of the other flavors but hopefully they're good and not trash- cappuccino is pretty hard to mess up compared to "maple donut" and "salted carmel."

just drank half a can of C4 and HOLY FUCKING SHIT. I have a very high caffeine tolerance in general, but this shit had given me a headache and pins and needles throughout my body. NEVER AGAIN

pins and needles throughout my body

Welcome to the Club Paraesthesia, my friend. I got the exact same sensation when I chugged a can of C4 a year or two ago.

That said, the paraesthesia isn't from the caffeine unless you're sensitive to it. In reality it has more to do with the beta-alanine (it's labeled as CarnoSyn on the can) in the drink. To avoid the feeling its recommended that you sip the stuff or, in my case, avoid C4 altogether.

lel I love C4. I still prefer bang which I think has a bit more caffeine than even C4. I have a crazy tolerance as well. But I don't get headaches from caffeine... unless I stop

 

[Duke Nukem]

I limit myself to one a day if at all, and only sip it over time to get a little bit of caffeine. Caffeine has a fairly strong effect on me so I pace myself. I know a guy who will drink a plurality of Bangs in a day and that's not good. I once did two in fairly quick succession and I don't recommend it, I definitely would say it's how I imagine amphetamines would be like.

Not big on mood altering substances these days, I've had a few in my lifetime but they're just not for me.

I absolutely love Monster.
Mostly the strawberry dreams and original flavors. As of recently, however, I’ve been buying the 89 cent ones from Aldi that are half as good but it beats spending almost $4 on a single can of name brand.

I only drink the stuff on all nighters so I'm far from an expert LOL but some weeks ago I had the Monster Ultra in the watermelon flavor. I only chose it cause it's low kcal but it was really really really good, way better than the white can one I usually get. Do recommend

I can't drink C4 because, holy shit, that pins-and-needles feeling is just WAY too uncomfortable to deal with... Their flavors were pretty good, but it's not worth it anymore.
I just stick to Red Bull and the occasional Yerba tea.

 

[Smegward]

rockstar grape used to be my shit until they stopped selling it.

I tried C4 fully expecting it to make me anxious and jittery and so far I've been pleasantly surprised that it hasn't. The only energy drink that I find really tends to exacerbate my OCD/anxiety is Red Bull and I have no idea why.

Something I would also tell people to be careful of that I haven't seen discussed much are those "cold coffee" drinks. Because they go down easier than an energy drink (and so you're drinking them faster) the caffeine has the nasty potential to sneak up on you even when each individual can contains less.

So G-Fuel got into some shit over good ol' Sniperwolf by making a mixed berry tub "in honor" of her. This happened way before the dox incident when customers whined about her on Instagram? How did G-Fuel respond? They prevented people from posting anything about Sniperwolf by not allowing comments on their post about her, and months later would abuse Instagram's Spam feature if anyone brings her up. G-Fuel finally did something about its ties to Sniper by removing her after the dox incident happened. I also found out G-Fuel's been losing more streamer sponsors because a couple of streamers dropped them after some controversy involving some restructuring (they're getting more brand collabs for shitty fomos, but it's shitty brands like Crapcom):

https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-massive-gfuel-controversy-prompts-twitch-streamers-to-part-ways-with-the-energy-drink-brand/

Moist was plugging their shit until his partnership ended. Now he's with GGSupps, a company worse than G Fuel. Oh yea, Reign Energy drinks worked with David "Toothbrush Bitch" Leavitt, the MTG Sjw who tried to ruin a Target employee's life over a fucking toothbrush. I stopped giving Reign money after hearing Leavitt was with them (Shame because I like Orange Creamsicle). I dropped G Fuel after they promoted censorship over Sniperwolf, and found out about their other controversies. GGSupps is the worse version of G Fuel because they have collabs with terrible people like Projekt Melody, Simpmongold, and H3H3.

I think they're the only energy drinks Walmart sells that's still just $2 a can. The ones I've had taste pretty good and tend to work. A can now lasts me a couple of days because I don't need like 300mg of caffeine in one sitting.

Too bad they don't make the Pewdiepie one anymore. It was pretty good, a sort of cherry flavor, and gave me the smug satisfaction of drinking something endorsed by a man who says Nigger.

Yea, the fomo flavors were bullshit because the Banjo Kazooie tub was awesome (Honey with Berries). Carbonation from the cans always irritated me, so that's why I grabbed the tugs.

G Fuel has officially entered very dark territory yesterday, a new flavor of their powdered mix is a Genshin Impact collab.

The cactus/lime flavor combo is interesting, but it's not worth getting put on a watchlist over.

I really regret buying this one because I found out about a Genshin controversy that involved crazies killing cats over a faggot character. It was too late for me to return this (I give you permission to mock me for buying this).

I'm mo impressed by how GGSUpps are way mo expensive to buy then GFuel stuff.

If you thought GFuel's Fomo practices were bad, you haven't seen GGSupp's practices. They keep releasing shitty waifu cups, but you only have 30 minutes to get the cup you like. Supps loves their shitty Fomo practices, and the flavors aren't worth it. They had to do reserves for any Vtuber collabs because they know Hell would break loose if they pulled that Fomo shit on Vtuber fans.

I think I only tried Supps stuff, the ones you can get fo free and they weren't half bad, the cherry one had a nice flavor to it, the Titty Milk felt okay but was waaay too fruity.

Energy drinks are my vice. I've rotated these over the past few years.

• Zero Ultra White Monster
• Yellow Monster Rehab (when I want something that isn't carbonated)
• Sugar Free Red Bull (a classic)
• Celsius Lemon-Lime (for when I'm in the office and I don't want to look like a teenager)
• Ghost Citrus

Ghost Citrus is my current rotation. It's loaded with artificial sugar, but I hardly ever drink soda with real sugar so that 's probably why I can tolerate it. To me, it tastes like Sprite but better. Plus the 200mg caffeine punch.
