Have you ever tried this stuff:

I love this stuff though it makes me feel ill

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

ah i also have the imaginitvly named energy boot (refresh yourself) which is... totally unremarkable and only has 30/100 but it has the saving grace of comming in a 500ml bottle obviously compeating for the same market as relentless

 

[TeeJay]

This is what I get:

"Kick stimulation drink" - selected for Tesco

(99p for a litre and tastes like red bull)

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

i most certianly does not taste like red bull


and i should know kick is my back up drink for when i'm counting the penneys

Drink coffee....you know it makes sense. You can always drink it as iced coffee if you don't want it hot....

I found that the Purdey's "herbal" energy drink gave me the shakes far more effectively than any of your synthetic nonsense. On the other hand, it felt awful and didn't actually give me any energy as well.

I still swear by a double espresso but that's me.

what happens when you overdose on caffeine?
has anyone gone beyond the jittery stage?

You *can* die from a caffeine overdose but you basically have to take a whole bottle of pills at once.

Just a standard overdose, you get the usual symptoms from stimulants, tachycardia, delusions etc. I've certainly had both of those. Sometimes it's hard to differentiate them from those resulting from sleep deprivation though.

Near enough. I can't taste much difference, although I was rather hoping I'd see it listed in your taste test line up.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

below redbull and V around the same level as boost and relentless

 

[The Groke]

V is the only choice for anyone who has tastebuds.

I beleive it is a Kiwi brand originally? (my kiwi wife insists it is at any rate...)

It is the only taurine/caffeine based energy drink I have had with a super tangy/sour and vaguely refreshing taste, as opposed to the standard medicinal "red-bull" sickly taste which all of the others seem to have, to some degree or another.

V - you know it makes sense.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

i don't belive v has taurine

my mistake it does

and yeah it is kiwi

Exam time last year... I was drinking my weight in red bull and taking more pro plus than you can shake a stick at... I ended up hallucinating, hysterical, sweating, and locked myself in the loos while I screamed for a while. I then threw a book at my boyfriends head and couldn't recognise the faces of my friends.

Good times...

Sprite have got their own version out called Sprite 3G. Quite nice it is too.

Am I the only person who finds the taste of Red Bull makes them wretch?
