ITS MADE FROM 100% JUICE!

quote:

Product Description

A gourmet energy drink with natural ingredients from all over the globe such as Tibetan Goji Berry, Asian Cordyceps, B-Vitamins, Ginseng & Guarana. No sugar added. Lightning Bolt is sweetened with Polisweet ¿ an imported cane juice concentrate. This concentrate contains a proprietary blend of policosanols which have been proven in clinical studies to lower cholesterol. First energy drink to be made from 100% juice. Long lasting energy! Available in two great flavors - Cherry Charge & Asian Experience!

Steven Seagal's Asian Experience Lightning Bolt Energy Drink is the first energy drink to be made of 100-percent juice, and the first to contain Tibetan Goji berries and Asian cordyceps. It is also available in Cherry Charge flavor.

The Lightning Bolt Story
When martial arts movie star Steven Seagal traveled to Asia searching for the ingredients for his Lightning Bolt drink he wanted a universal Asian character to summarize the drink's benefits. Seagal settled on the character known as "CHI" which is widely recognized as a symbol of power and energy in many Asian languages and cultures. When Seagal finished creating his drink, there was only one equivalent in nature -- the lightning bolt. Both mysterious and powerful, it is a symbol of the untold energy the earth has to offer.

Wonderful, unique ingredients
The ingredients of Steven Seagal's Lightning Bolt are what makes this energy so impressive. Each component was carefully chosen by Seagal to incorporate the greatest treasures of Asian medicine into an all natural energy boost. The Asian Experience flavor is delicious, but it is the ingredients that make this drink so special.

I thought nothing could beat Bruce Willis' Hell energy drink (presumably made from the finest ingredients in Hungary) but looks like Stevie there has him beat.

Plus it's freezing cold on the winter, prone to enormous bushfires in the summer and just a miserable place full of politicians all year 'round.

Don't forget the loving Bogong moths.

Freezing cold and snowing for six months of the year. Unbearably hot and surrounded by fires the other six. And overlaid on top of that is the entire city is smack bang in the middle of the migration route of a horrible bloody stinky* moth.

The entire city was built as punishment for politicians. Pity the poor fools who also have to live in its barren hellscape.




* I lived there on and off for a couple of year and will never forget the smell of a billion moth carcases slowly broiling away to a greasy smear after crawling their way inside streetlights and anywhere else with big lights, like supermarkets and servos.

so I read up the lore of the big tiddy skywhale and apparently those are sort of like swim-bladders for flying - in the backstory they secrete a lighter-than-air substance but this bothers me because they're obviously hanging down so how are they supporting the skywhale if they're full of helium or something

They secrete that lighter than air substance downward at mach 2. It's a VTOL Big-Tiddy Skywhale.

I dated a girl that lived in Troy, which is right next to it and basically Albany Lite, and it’s almost impressive how many closed storefronts there are in any given block in either city. The SUNY college in Albany is one of the most depressing places I’ve ever been to, it’s just giant square concrete buildings and looks like a prison.

I live just outside of Albany and I can confirm it's a thoroughly depressing place. The university does indeed look like a prison, it even has a giant cigarette sticking sticking out of a fountain directly in the middle of it, just to drive the point home.

It's also a dump, but not enough of a dump to be cool or interesting, just sort of sad.

You guys joke, but Lightning Bolt was a legit good* energy drink, and I swear to Satan, an excellent hangover cure.

*lovely tasting. Asian Experience tasted like acai and garlic juice, while Cherry tasted like cherry cough syrup and garlic juice.

Because coconut was in the original formulation, before they slapped a different sticker around the can.

I used to find that in little independent gas stations in Florida. Some knock-off of a knock-off energy drink, bogo all day long. poo poo's a year old in the can with multiple stickers over the branding. Probably would have been cheaper to dump the drink and recycle the cans, but who am I to argue with the shady dude driving a rental truck full of Columbian cigarettes, toilet cleaner, and suspicious energy drinks?

While I don't live in Albany, I live kinda nearby in upstate NY.

When I was in high school, there was one of those long-form standardized essay questions (SAT or something I don't remember) that asked "a foreign exchange student has come to live with you, how do you show them around your town to introduce them to American culture?" We were expected to have a full-page answer minimum.

I wrote "There is nothing to do in [town]." and got full credit
