when i was 9 years old or something my dad stopped at a gas station and gave me some money to go buy a drink. for whatever dumb reason i decided to get a red bull and i don't remember what it was like but i remember my dad going "you're drinking that, huh. how is it?" and i guess i said it was alright but i can't be too sure.

anyway, i had to wake up hella early today and had trouble falling asleep last night, so i'm not running on a full 8 hours. i drank coffee this morning which made me slightly less groggy, but a few hours went by and i was still feeling out of it.

i decided to buy a red bull.

the line was taking loving forever so i cracked it open. the cashier was cool with it because i remained in line to pay - if you're in a pinch you can eat/drink in line as long as you brandish your wallet at some point.
my first impression was that this poo poo tastes so goddamn sugary. this wasn't surprising because the nutritional info states that there's a fuckton of sugar in it. i considered buying the sugar free red bull, but i figured that's even less healthy than the regular one for reasons i don't quite understand.

aside from that, i wasn't too concerned with the health risks. energy drinks are like stim-packs in starcraft where yes your terran troops move faster but they also lose some health. i was aware of the sacrifice.

the energy rush kind of felt like when i used to be prescribed adderall, only the tunnel vision wasn't as intense and i still remained incredibly charismatic like i always am. even when i felt flushed a few hours later, i didn't feel like absolute poo poo which was nice.


however, i can't imagine drinking this poo poo every day. same goes for any energy drink to be honest. do people substitute coffee for this stuff for the extra kick, or do they legitimately think it tastes amazing?

Red Bull is pretty gross, but those Monster energy drinks are just vile. I knew a guy who drank at least one every shift and I can’t imagine that is healthy for you (although he was one of those really skinny guys who eats nonstop but never gains weight).

iirc there was talk about bull "intest-STINE" but some kids thought they were badass drinking bull intestines or something. i dunno what the former is.

Monster is terrible. Monster zero is actually a bit more palatable but the text on the bottle is literally poo poo like "you asked, we listened, here's a zero-cal less sweet monster for all our lady monster junkies out there!!!"

Red Rain is the walmart knockoff and at one point it came in 1L bottles. I drank a full one before an all nighter in college and ended up not studying due to the fact that I had to walk around the neighbourhood so I wouldnt have a heart attack

i tried drinking it once during senior week - a week where the highschool graduating class goes to the beach for a massive drug/alcohol binge and everyone's fuckin. i didn't like it so i gave the rest to my friend and switched back to drinking rum because pirates are cooler than whatever the gently caress drinks a 4 loko

i also never had an interest in vodka redbulls. i have even less of an interest now since vodka + spiked seltzer is a big mood these days

The only Monster energy I like is the “rehab” tea+lemonade. It’s delicious and is only about 2 cups of coffee worth of caffeine. Very little sugar as well iirc.

Red bull just tastes like chemicals to me.

I've had Redbull a few times when it was popular back in like 20 years ago, and it tasted pretty gross and I can't remember it having any sort of effect. For sure not a "rush". Figured that was just marketing bullshit. Same with coffee; I can drink it but it don't make me feel nothing. Thinking I might be immune to caffeine :thunk:

My friend and I bought a blue four loko like two weeks ago on a whim because we both had never tried one before.

It tasted like blue. Would not buy again.

I have had one red bull in my life back in the 90s when it first came out. Tasted like liquid smarties.

Bawls are really good and I will get one when ever I see them (which is not often).

I like the 16oz cans of Monster that say they are 2 servings. Like they actually expect you to drink half of it and put it in the fridge for later, even the carbonated ones.
