Café / Caffeine Thread

[Austupaio]

Jolt sounds like a fake soda, like a brand they'd use in a cartoon.

Jolt, Slurm, Bonk.

 

[Swissky]

But wait there's more! It also looks like a fake soda.

Spoiler

 

[Vraelomon]

Wow. The crap they have at Aldes looks more believable than that.

 

[Vermillion_Hawk]

So why the hell is Jolt the example brand of soda in the poll? Is that all you guys get in the northern wastes?

That's the only one I can remember. Pretty rare as we prefer coffee (2nd biggest coffee consumer in the world per capita after Finland)

Also, just had some coffee, slightly flavoured with juniper berries and wood.

You couldn't come up with something more popular? Like Dr. Pepper? Or Sprite? Or Pepsi? Or... what's-it-called? You know, the one Cola with the alliteration?

 

[Vraelomon]

You mean the most famous and best one that you should most certainly be able to recall?

 

[Vermillion_Hawk]

Something like that.

 

[Vraelomon]

Its a lot of words to fit on such a small can, I dont know how they do it.

Jolt sounds like a fake soda, like a brand they'd use in a cartoon.

Jolt, Slurm, Bonk.

There's also Mega Jolt or Ultra Jolt or something like that with quadruple the caffeine.

 

[Swissky]

And that is why I always find myself disappointed in my generation.

 

[Austupaio]

Jolt sounds terrifying.

I'm drinking AMP Active Orange right now as, while I generally don't like filling my body with the crap that's in these things*, I needed a pick-me-up. At least energy drinks don't taste as ****ing awful as they used too. I remember when they first started getting popular they all were gag-worthy.

Red Bull and Monster still are but they've got a rep that pushes them through.

*Actual grams of sulphur. Could I make black powder with this? The ****.

Over here, all the 12-year old kids go around with their "Powerking"

[Vraelomon]

People over here drink monsters.

That crap is bad for you. Cases of people in the hospital for drinking too much. I take pride in saying Ive never ever had one. Nor gatorade. Nor anything else.

 

[Austupaio]

Well... Gatorade isn't really really an 'energy' drink as the term is used now. It pre-dates it, as a matter of fact. It's not exactly great for you, but it's not really any worse for you than say, a Coke.

I could never get over the flavor of Gator/Power-ade either though, they just taste pretty damned strange to me.

 

[Swissky]

I think that one bottle of Gatorade (Or was it Vitamin Water?) contained 33g of sugar. 

 

[Vraelomon]

Gatorade isnt really an energy drink per se, but they certainly act like it. Theyre like the big douchy sports jokeys of the beverage universe. And yeah, they taste pretty bad, from the few sips ive had.
Sudden craving for a V8. Thats wierd.

 

[Krik]

How could you even enjoy V8?

 

[Vraelomon]

I really dont, the stuffs pretty nasty, but for some reason I really wanted one. I hear they make that fruit version, is that any good?

 

[Krik]

They make a bunch of different flavors so it probably depends. I basically sustain myself on soda and similar **** though so I couldn't tell ya.

 

[Vraelomon]

Yeah me too, I just drink coke all day. Pretty unhealthy, but...

 

[rebelknight]

How could you even enjoy V8?

V8 awesome.

Especially mixed with vodka and celery salt.
