Finally found one of these after like 4 other gas stations. Tastes pretty damn good.

I actually picked one of these up this morning. As someone who doesn't drink energy drinks that often I am shocked by how good it tastes.

All energy drinks taste terrible.
There, I said it

I like all flavors of Monster Absolute Zero.

Thouse mountain dew kickstarts are also pretty tasty

Rockstar > Monster

I've come around on Red Bull in recent years. The original formula when it launched was absolutely disgusting.

lol, this year. Fortnight out July 25th

I'm surprised this game still exists. It looks like a game that should have come out five years ago...around the time it entered development.

Microsoft & Comey going all in.

Scorpio now has enough RAM to run a clicker game at all times.

Scorpio GB Console of the FOREVER

 

[imBask]

That's a lot of ram for the latest Halo

Available on PC exclusively on everyone's favorite platform, the Epic Games Launcher.

Fortnite looks like a fake game you see people playing in a movie

People have said this about too many games now

Fortnite looks like Orcs Must Die with basebuilding, and I used to really like Orcs Must Die

Prepare to get beaten with hard science facts that this is not the case.
I learned my lesson yesterday.

The animation in Fortnite looks really poor

why does this 2017 character emote less than a 2004 Heavy Weapons Guy?

No one was saying energy drinks weren't bad. They just wanted actual proof. You linked to some food blog that said it was bad and justified that viewpoint by linking to things completely unrelated to the drink it was going against. It was promptly and rightfully torn apart. Don't go pretending to be some victim when you provide poorly sourced proof and drop the conversation once people point out the bullshit

Probably because it's actually a 2004 character that happens to be in game released in 2017.

Orange juice is also bad for you. Too much sugar.
Just drink water and tea. Real tea. Not that ice tea garbage.

Self made Orange Juice is fine, but people usually pour a ton of sugar into it cause it doesn't taste as sweet as the one you buy in supermarkets.

 

[daveo42]

Sugar'd drinks are bad for you in general, but zero and low calorie energy drinks are fine and tasty.

So tea isn't tea unless it's hot?

Fibre tho.

I guess if you scrap the pulps into your drink afterwards.

My view on juice is that just eat the fucking fruit because it's a massive waste on resource.

They are better but don't get fooled into thinking they are good for you or healthy.

 

[JackEtc]

The OG Red Bull flavor is an acquired taste, but the Blue edition is quite good, and the new Summer Edition that tastes like grapefruit is great as well

 

[BearPawB]

Again, nothing is that good for you.
Too much of almost anything is bad.

Just because sugar is bad doesn't mean you can never have sugar. Just don't overdo it!

I'm just saying that because I know people who thought drinking this is actually good for you. A friend of a friend thought drinking zero calorie coke is like drinking water.

I love that we can have zero calorie drinks. Still limit myself on them though. A few years ago I could drink multiple bottles of Coke Zero.

No, cooled tea is fine too. But not the bottled Iced Tea garbage.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I think most reasonable people don't think that's healthy lmao.

It's just a matter of degrees and being able to find something you enjoy that is also able to minimise the harm you do to your body even if you acknowledge that there is some harm.

Thing that irks me more is the general blanket people throw on sugar substitutes that is pretty unscientific.

I mean I fucking love water. Nothing better than a cool glass of water flowing down your throat. But I'll enjoy other drinks as well.

The amount of caffeine in them sure, but most artificial sweeteners are perfectly fine for human consumption in small doses. As is all things, moderation is important.

Also, everything will eventually kill you.

I get you. Also agree on the bottle ice tea in most cases. I think there are a few that are fine (Ito En makes great teas) but they are also straight brewed tea as opposed to whatever you get in a bottle of Nestea or Snapple.

Still going strong drinking only water or flavored water only after stopping from all kinds of juice and soda a month ago.

Real talk: Cutting out sodas and sugary drinks is the one thing one can do to instantly better their health.

Monster Rehab > Rockstar Recovery.

Especially the peach flavor.

I love the lemonade, but we don't get peach in the UK

wrong thread

 

[Karspankey]

God dammit you guys. I can't mention energy drinks without y'all tussling. Behave )

 

[PushTheButtonMax]

I didn't like soda as a kid and as a result haven't consumed it my whole life. It's interesting how that blows some people's minds when I tell them. Like they can't even fathom it.

 

[Twin Tails]

I like soda even though it’s bad for you. I counter it by drinking a fuck ton of water. That’ll work for sure.

 

[Ashby]

Poland Springs is the GOAT bottled water

I heard somewhere that if a soda says Diet on it, I can drink like twelve of them a day.
Also extra points if they are free.

You can eat as much sugary, garbage shit you want as long as it's paired with healthy veggies. It's science, duh.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I like Monster drinks.
