You know whats weird, the past day or two i craved water

Ive never been one to drink water at all, but i just suddenly started drinking a lot. It started when i just grabbed a water, finished it, then wanted another. After that i wanted another, and another, etc...

Whats even more weird about this whole situation was that i chose water over mountain dew game fuel. My mom doesn't usually have soda in the fridge (because i drink it all), so not choosing soda, or even the juice drink next to it amazes me. Am i going mad :scared:

My review on wired x504...

Think of a super-sweetened redbull, only 23.5 ounces of it, even though the can says big 24.

Can looks pretty cool.

Now the fun part...I drank one of these on 5 hours of sleep (I like getting 8 hours of sleep) and it kept me awake throughout the whole day!

Although the other thing I didn't like about the can, when I drank my other can..I only drank half of it and put it in the fridge. When I went to drink the rest, I could taste the caffeine a lot more, so it made it taste just a little bitter.

Otherwise great drink, but I'd rather not form an addiction :)

Thanks DA!

No problem, gald you enjoyed it. Here's the difference on the red bull. A small can (8.4 oz) of Redbull has 80 milligrams of caffeine. Multiply that by three to get the same volume of an X505. You've got more twice as much Caffeine as a redbull.

I do have to say, that after the x505, a normal redbull just doesn't cut it. Yes, that's a sad state of affairs.

i just don't like redbull. it tastes terrible IMO.

Do you know what ingredient it is that makes it taste terrible. I hate the taste of it too, and there are other ones that taste just like it. I think one of them is the original rockstar.
 
i have no idea. i also don't like rockstar period. i tried boo-koo today. it kinda tastes like a weak sprite or 7up. not too bad.
 
Red Bull
Lost
Bawls

Bookoo is alright but i definitely have to agree on the weak sprite taste... If theres one energy drink that NOBODY should ever drink, its Kronik!!! omg... i thought it was piss when i opened it up... it seriously smells like piss.... its actually grapefruit so if you dig that stuff then you might like it... but man, i thought it was absolutely horrible!!!
 
7up :D

I think it has enough sugar and other unhealthy stuff which screws your body up in it to call it an energy drink.

Then couldn't we call any soda any energy drink then, especially sodas like mountain dew.

I like how coke took surge off the market because it had too much caffeine, then brought it back as vault
 
Slight Thread resurrection.

I've been on a NOS kick lately. The Redbull and NoDoz hasnt been working to the degree I'm used to.

NOS steps up the Caffeine amount by 63 mg, over the Redbull/NoDoz cocktail. I'm also liking the taste. Some of the other caffeine junkies I know have had trouble with it, but I enjoy it.
 
Red Bull, V and Woman are the main energy drinks around here.
V has an average taste, and an average effect. Red Bull tastes the best, but seems to have a below-average effect, whereas Woman dominates in effect but has the most horrible taste.
Guess then that the notion of one not being able to have the best of both worlds is true.
 
Iced Quad Grande whole milk Starbucks Double Shot on Ice if it's hot outside, Triple Grande peppermint whole milk no whip no foad 140 degree Mocha if it's cold.

Red Bull works too, as does Lost Five-O...

It gets me through massive sessions of Crown Royal, Southern Comfort, Jager, and whatever else we find in the pantry.

It does have a slightly pleasing taste. I'm nearly unaffected by the caffeine in it. NOS give my friends the shakes while I take naps after drinking it.

EDIT: I'll probably buy one tomorrow now that you've got me thinking about it. *goes to get a coke*

Hmm...2:17 A.M. Night everyone.
 
Well I'm doing a bit of thread dredging here, but this is the most appropriate place to add this in.

As some of you know, I've had a bad caffeine addiction over the past 20+ years and have never been able to kick it. I'm finally off the Energy Drinks and the NoDoz, but now I make my protein shakes with Cold or Instant Coffee, depending on what I have available.

I'm also on a pretty strick diet, so that was another strike against the energy drinks.

However, I've some something even better!

Caffeinated Beef Jerky.
It lokos like I'll be ordering some very shortly.
 
I've had a couple Full Throttles recently. They taste okay, but have a very bizzare aftertaste. They make we wired as hell, though :lol:. Red Bull is still my favorite.
 
Generally I'll pick Monster green, the resealable top ones are nifty, keeps it carbonated. Red Bull Cola is probably the worst tasting thing I've put in my mouth (including things that should never go near your mouth) but regular red bull is fine. Sugar-Free Go Girl is awful too. Should've seen that one coming. Buzzwater tastes like really really low quality tap water, but each bottle has 200mg caffeine (I think.)

Not exactly energy drink related, but has anybody tried that caffeinated soap from ThinkGeek? Could that work or is it just a gimmick?

Holy 🤬, I'm glad I've gained proper typing skills.

And my favorites have not changed, I tried Bawls, and it's my favorite, and as for sports drinks, I still like Riptide Rush.
