Its usually sold on one of the counters at your local 7 Eleven (thats right, its not in the cooler where Red Bull and Rockstars usually are) and can help you stay fully wired for 5 hours straight. Good for long hours of frustrating work or over night shifts. Supposedly you do not "crash" after the effects wear off either (unlike most other energy drinks out there) Anybody???

Pre-cursors to red bull etc., as I remember they are filled with sugar/caffeine etc. and I'd be amazed if there was no crash....tried this once and did not enjoy it...

I just had some for work the other day and amazingly I didn't get any flushing of the face, nor did I get any jittering or itchy feelings. And amazingly lol, I did not "crash" after the 5-6 hours either... guess everybody has a different body system??? Tue Dec 25 19:39:20 -0800 2007 3236547 18286 Mike Tyson 3 3236567 Wow! But it does have caffeine....what did it taste like???? Tue Dec 25 19:43:10 -0800 2007 3236565 12074 bluedog 4 3236600 It taste like medicine. The lack of sugar kind of reminds me of those water bottles that have fruit flavouring w/sweetener in them. I myself am not a fan of sweeteners, for they turns my stomach however; this drink didn't make my belly ache at all! All in all I can't really complain. It has a kind of bitter sweet taste to it, and I personally could handle bitter sweet stuff lol. Aqquired taste I guess.

Seemed to do a great job keeping me motivated and focused--the latter, in my opinion, nothing short of a miracle under the circumstances.
