I actually like the taste..... I used to be a Sugarfree Red Bull junkie till I moved on to this....

Like I said, if you like it go for it, personally I think almost all the sugar free stuff tastes terrible, but if it's in place of what your body needs you're going to suffer.

Of all the energy drinks I've tried, the 5 Hour Energy shots are the only ones that, for me, weren't completely useless. The more B-vitamin complexes, the better (or so I've heard).

Every time I see or hear one of their ads, I want to beat that announcer to death with a coffee maker. I mean how stupid do they think we are? Coffee is FOOD. Their shit isn't, and doesn't even try to be.

It's beyond time that Coffee sends the Starbucks boys 'round to 5 Hour Energy's place to break his legs for trying to muscle in on Coffee's territory.

Coffee chooses to ignore 5 Hour Energy because Coffee knows it is superior without having to resort to drastic measures.

I've never seen the 5 Hour commercials. All I know is caffeine doesn't help me when I need it the most, and the few times I've tried mega-doses of caffeine have had dire effects on the ol' GI tract.

And besides, tea is clearly the superior beverage choice.

I love coffee in my tea. There was a place I used to go to back in southern NJ (Cooks Corner in Smithville for anyone local) that made a drink called a chai charger. It was a chai tea latte with a shot of espresso in it. Holy heart palpitations was it goooood!

When you first said coffee in my tea... I pictured Folgers mixed with Lipton...

I've thought for a long time that some people who rely on caffeine constantly might be energized by the ritual of drinking it more than the caffeine itself. Hell, at my university, there were 4-5 cafes on campus alone, and they were always packed. They make it available, and they make it seem like something that students have to have to get by. It's fun to joke about it with friends and on facebook. "Gotta charge up for midterms, etc. etc." It's something to do to get ourselves mentally ready to be productive...... not that I have any proof that I'm not completely full of shit. Just thinkin' out loud.

Getting a cup of coffee with someone is a social occasion. Isn't that one of the best casual ways of asking someone out? "Hey, wanna go get a 5-hour energy shot" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

As I've become very accustomed to the taste of Sugarfree Redbull and Monster Zero I find that the reason I don't drink the 5hr Shots, is that I actually miss the taste/feel/drinking of the energy drinks. Reason I switched to the Monster was because it was bigger than the Redbull and therefore the "ritual" lasted longer.

You smoke and you drink energy drinks on a regular basis, along with diet sodas?




You reek of someone who needs more sleep, diet, and exercise.

Jiarn

My energy drinks are zero calorie, zero sugar. My diet drinks are the same. I'm switching from cigarettes to electronic.

I'm at my ideal body weight, slightly over my body fat requirement, and have fantastic stamina.

I also sleep 6 1/2hrs a night, eat very healthy and work out 4 days a week. -grin-

I may or may not have Lupus though....

Tell us more. How many fruits and vegetables a day do you eat? What % milk do you drink? What is your opinion on whole wheat bread?
 
J

Jiarn

About 2-3 servings of veggies a day, almost no fruit though. I drink 2% reduced fat milk, I also exclusively use Whole Wheat Breads and pastas.

Personally I like tuna with a good Spanish salsa vs mayonaise, but mostly because I'm anti-Mayo for the most part. I'll usually have that mix with some un-salted tortilla chips from our local shop.

Omega-3? Don't you mean Omega-13? I dunno about eating that, it's pretty huge...

What kind of mayo do you recommend? Also, what would you rather eat? Prosciutto or Soppresata? Why?
 
J

Jiarn

I don't make it a habit to recommend Mayo period.

Prosciutto, only because I haven't had Soppresata before. Not due to lack of want, but more lack of experience.

I laughed damn DAMN hard at that Gusto, I mean my face literally hurts. -laugh-

Do those flavored waters at grocery stores count as diet soda? I loves those things. They seem soda-y.
