Re: Energy Drinks

Note to self: DO NOT TRY Tab Energy Drink. Thanks for the tip. That sounds similar to my first impression of Red Bull. Gross.

Indeed. Thanks, Dick. I share the odd inclination to try new beverages at random just out of curiosity (Gatorade 'Rain' being the last inauspicious experiment), but Tab I'll most certainly skip! And to think, I was just eyeing that little pink can at Star Market on Saturday...

I've also tried Red Bull out of curiosity, and while I wouldn't say it was as bad as Tab sounds, it certainly wasn't something I was eager to taste again.

Re: Energy Drinks

I recently tried a Korean energy drink called Bacchus-F mostly because the name cracked me up (attention former students: I told you there were countless reasons to study Greek and Roman mythology). I believe it is marketed in Korea as a hangover remedy. The ingredients looked pretty much like the ingredients in Jolt, except for the addition of apple juice. I did not notice any effects from teh Bacchus-F, which comes in small glass bottles like the ones Lipovitan comes in.

Scrivener (or anyone here), have you ever tried or do you know anything about "Real Gold"? Sold out of vending machines in Japan, in small cans or as a "fountain" drink, it was also promoted as a hangover remedy.
It's a Coca-Cola product, and tasted like strong Mountain Dew, but I've not seen it outside Japan. I'd love to find it again, and learn more about the contents (including caffeine content.)

If you're ever in Las Vegas and are an afficianado of Coke products, go check out the Coke Museum (next to the M&Ms Museum) on the Strip. Upstairs, they have a little cafe/store where for I think it was $8, you can sample about 20 different coke products from all over the world outside the US. Some of them didn't taste too bad, but some (especially some of the Asian ones) were really baaaaad.

Re: Energy Drinks

Speaking of Lipovitan, has anyone tried this? I have a few bottles in my fridge because my mom thought they'd be good for me, but I've never tried them.

Regarding Lipovitan...

You took the words (and everything else) right out of my mouth. WORSE than Redbull in taste. IMO

Knowing Scrivener though, he'll probably find something about it he likes.

That energy drink review site recently added a post on SPORTS BEANS by Jelly Belly. This I gotta' try. I LOVE Jelly Belly's! Buttered Popcorn.. yummm.

Whether he likes it or not, he'll find a creative and/or entertaining way to tell about it, you gotta admit.
Maybe he can assign a number value to the nine letters of "Lipovitan" and make a Sudoku puzzle from it (but with a repeating "i", can it be done?)

Are you nuts?

I guess I'll put that on must-try list, along with Pimp Juice. How fitting.

There's another guarana-flavored drink that's available in the US. It's called Sol Rio, and it's very tasty over ice. I discovered it at a Brazilian restaurant here. I bet Whole Foods sells it.

I dunno about the Japanese energy drink companies. I mean, these are the people who try to tell you that drinks like "Calpis" and "Pocari Sweat" are actually tasty.

Yeah i forgot to mention it doesn't taste as good warm I can imagine Sol rio probably tastes alot like bawls looking at the Sol Rio website (it's under construction but here the link anyways link)It also boast the gurrana as the main flavoring

ok, this thread is reminding me that nothing is as wonderfully refreshing as a cold glass of water.
