<br>I was an avid Coke drinker for years until I found Kronik Energy Low Carb drink. This stuff is like crack!! It has like 1 gram of carbs and only 20 calories and I haven't drank a coke in months. It doesn't give me extra energy, keep me awake, make me jittery or anything, I just love the taste! I also don't drink coffee, never have.

I see my beloved Tab has been repackaged as an energy drink & now costs $5 for a 4 pack. I wonder what they did to fuck up my Tab!!!!!!!

No, I don't drink energy drinks, they taste like metallic sludge. If I need a jump start - a couple of sudafed hits the spot.

I teach high school English.

Oh yeah, and most of the time I'd rather just squeeze oranges and/ grapefruits for juice anyway (thanks, I never heard of the parsley thing). Or throw a bunch of fruits & veggies in the blender and see what comes out. I love pretty much anything I've created this way. It always tastes better with a glop of natural yoghurt blended in.

I've tried Rock Star and Monster energy drinks. NASTY! They tasted like carbonated bubble gum. The only effect I noticed was the shakes and racing heart I ended up with. I wouldn't call that energy!

UpDate:

it's a few hours after I drank that energy drink, and now I think I feel it! (yes, perhaps there's some kind of placebo effect, I dunno).I'm feeling rather loopy at the moment, like I'm drunk. have a lot of "energy". Can't spell (keep on editing)....this is ptretty weird. hard to concentrate. Hmmm...delayed reaction, at anyrate.[:p]

Rock Star came out on top.

It's Coke Classic for me . .

I like them but combined with vodka... I know, I know... shouldn't drink alcohol. Anyway, I haven't been drinking lately... well, except for my b-day (in which I drank but with moderation).
