Energy Drinks... pick your poison!
Which ones do you like, and which ones taste like moose-piss?

Right now, i'm downing Rockstar: Juiced (mango/passionfruit), and thinking how good this would be with some Stoli.


At this rate, i'll never get this paper done. *L*

8. And through inheritance, him...
Good heads-up. I didn't realize this when i bought it (i know... bad shopper *self-flagellate*), but now that i do, i won't be buying it anymore.

I'll find some other moosepiss to drink when i need to stay up at all hours.

16. Used to have a housemate that made coffee so weak
that you could see through it. I told him it's called black coffee, not translucent brown coffee.

19. Isn't Rockstar owned by the Savage Weiner's son?
I think I remember reading somewhere that Michael Weiner's radio talk show is substantially subsidized by sales of that beverage, which is why I've never tried it.

24. Lightweights. Steven Seagal's Lightning Bolt for me! It's got Chi Energy! Which I crave!


Everyone could use a bit of extra energy now and again- Perhaps you want to work faster, play harder, or even think quicker. There are many reasons for wanting more energy, but did you ever stop to wonder why you lack that energy to begin with?

Fatigue can be a result of many things, not just insufficient sleep. While other energy drinks try to just throw a bunch of cheap caffeine and other drugs into your system, Steven Seagal's Lightning Bolt provides you with the TRUE ENERGY you need. Seagal spent many years researching this, and found that there are specific remedies for each reason for fatigue:

* PROBLEM: Lack of B-Vitamins can make your body too tired to metabolize food properly
* SOLUTION: Provide 100% of the body's daily vitamin need to aid in quick and efficient metabolic function.

* PROBLEM: A drain on mental energy can lead your body to believe it is physically drained as well
* SOLUTION: Provide exotic botanicals and herbs such as Ginkgo Biloba, proven to specifically aid in memory function and mental alertness

These are just two of the countless secrets of TRUE ENERGY that Steven Seagal has discovered in his travels all over the globe. Steven Seagal's Lightning Bolt combines years of experience with remarkable ingredients to provide the energy your body, mind and spirit have been craving.

28. There's a guava Rockstar too, isn't there?
A friend of mine used that one to make a cocktail... it was soooooo good! But if I drink those things straight up, I drink only the sugar free varieties, usually Rockstar. Yeah, it tastes like B vitamins but I sort of like it.
