Do you have Bawls?

I don't think this has been available regularly in Houston until now. It's apparently the uber-l33t energy drink for long gaming sessions. I've been trying to find a place that sells em for the better part of 18 months. :(

Anyway, anyone ever tried it? Live to tell about it?

I drink a lot of coffee, so those energy drinks that are supposedly full of caffeine don't seem to affect me too much. It does taste good though.

Bawls fucking rocks!!


With Red Bull and the likes you can almost feel the glazing crack of your teeth after a couple and makes you shit like there's no tomorrow. Bawls is different. I think it's because it's made from Guarana, instead of that nasty crap the other energy drinks use.

It doesn't give you a kick like Red Bull but it's much smoother, tastes better, larger bottle and the bottle itself kicks ass. Reminds be of a large dildo :)

^SOLD!

Gonna go pick up a few bottles today at this place I found out about. Some "Console Arcade" type place. Bunch of big screens/consoles, couches, etc. Maybe I'll stick around for an hour and play some.
 
I thought of it more as a fruity flavored Sprite. It's alright, I just don't go with all the gimmicky highly caffeinated drinks.

No, I wanted to buy it in store. I knew about the site/think geek for a long while now. I just don't regularly order stuff online unless it's a really good deal on something. (MGS2/Frequency/THPS3 for 100 bucks being probably the last time I bought something that wasn't Ebay-ed).

But anyway, I checked their site again recently and found a place nearby that sells them in-store.

And uhm Mig, I know you're not the brightest kid around but have you ever tried their official website?!
Can I download Bawls from the site?

Bawls still kind of makes me feel shitty. Last time I just found myself feeling really dehydrated and like I had a bad taste in my mouth that wouldn't go away. Could have been the lack of sleep though ;)
 
bawls has more caffeine in its 10oz bottle than redbull does in its 8.3oz bottle, I do believe.. possibly the same amount however.

I enjoy bawls, i find it at walgreens for $1.39 in regular or the new sugar-free guaranexx version.

They were handing those out at E3. A salesman outside the convention center had racks of them on ice and was shouting out lame double entendres like "Please, don't be afraid of the Bawls!"

"Try my Bawls please!"

"You look like you're interested in some Bawls."

"Hurry up and grab'em, my Bawls are getting warm out here!"

You get the idea. I did in fact try the Bawls (on Seth C. and BeOnEdge's recommendation) because it was E3 week after all, and I was sleep-deprived and tired as Hell. I have to say that it pepped me right up and I had energy for most of the day afterwards. Haven't seen them at stores around here much though.

There is a Bawls Distributor in Spring, TX. Just before to Woodlands. You obviously aren't looking very hard.

I actually just found WWE's RAW Energy Fuel Cell drink. It's like white freezie in liquid form. I like it better than Bawls. Same guarana extract source.

They sell Bawls at Compucentres in Canada. My first experience was at lunch at work, around 2 pm I guess. I was only on four hours of sleep too.

Anyway that night, I couldn't fall asleep until 4 AM! Haha :p The effects aren't so harsh on me now though. I find it's best to drink caffeine when you're already decently awake, that way you'll be energized, yet you won't feel sick or anything as some people tend to.

Jesus people. I KNOW WHERE THEY SELL THEM NOW.

I gave up and figured that they'd eventually come to Houston at some point, or somewhere near me at least (not in Spring,TX) and I stopped looking about 6 months ago. A few weeks ago I checked the site again, and to my surprise, there was a place on Westheimer (Galleria area) that sells them. I haven't made my way down there, but I will eventually. I think the place is called Velocity Games.
