What energy drink do you like the most?

[Emlyn]

redbull becase it gives you wings if you didnt know : P

[Mark]

I never used to drink them but I am hooked on the new mother one. I know you should only drink one of the larger cans a day but some days I drink two mothers in a row and then two more a few hours latter and still find I can go to sleep easy lol.

[Vampyre]

I like the new one called Samedi.It is meant to be twice as potent as the other ones.Who knows with all the marketing crap.Deep down I love a good espresso though.I have one every morning.I love my coffee machine.

[eichkay]

i mix it up between RedBull, V and Mother... pending my taste buds and or servo specials on at the time.

[Mark]

I mix it up too....Vodka and mother or Vodka and redbull lol.

[Emlyn]

i mix it up turps and power shot

[obzELiTe]

V or redbull.

they are all on the double the power bullshit train now, cept they forgot to mention thats for the bigger cans that are twice the size.

take any pain medication that has codeine in it, then have a can. that gives you wings.

I've got choice but to drink them now, if i go 2 days without one the withdrawal symptoms hurt like hell.
the reject shop in carousel sells V now as well, hell cheaper than the servo or supermarket

[BIG PETE]

i like my coffee but a rum does help

[remotebandit]

Blokes , im hardcore into these drinks and not coz of their energy reputation but just because i love the taste .

I have 2 Red Bulls religiously every day , some day 1 ( minimum ) but most 2 ( maximum )

I leave home in the morning at about 7.30am and crack my first on the drive to my first job and i crack my last 1 at about 10 when everyones gone to bed and i can sit watch tv in peace and quiet .

The 1 Vamps mentioned " Samedi " is also a very nice tasting 1 , id almost say it tastes like those multi coloured tingles .

[Emlyn]

yeah samedi isnt to bad but the add is whack

[boogernissan]

i drink alot of iced coffee

[Dags]

I drink Mother. My company buys it from the Coke supplier and I buy it off them by the carton.
3 or 4 a day is the norm although it sometimes gives me a headache.
I used to be addicted to V but it ALWAYS gave me headaches. Eventually I just gave it up.

[remotebandit]

dude that's 2 liters a day I don't even drink that much water a day

****

[Dags]

Yeah I know RB, but it is addictive.....

[BIG PETE]

Yeah I know RB, but it is addictive.....


and not good for ya to drink that much every day

[Mark]

I drink 3 mothers a day too but I have to stop that.

[skidkid]

used to drink mother but its the same hit from red bull just a smaller can,2-3 a day

[dansblackcat]

Red Bull for me. I prefer the taste to the others but will settle for a V if the servo has them at a good price.

I'm glad to see Rockstar with a zero vote, In my opinion it gives no more energy boost than a teaspoon of sugar. I'd like to see a test on what it actually contains. I get absolutely NO buzz from it even with the larger can size

[dansblackcat]

I agree, the even say twice the energy as Red Bull yet fail to mention that their can is exactly double the size.

[Dags]

If you read a Mother Can, apart from being very entertaining in itself, it DOES tell you that it's numbers are compared to a standard 250ml can.
And the ad on tv is awesome. Makes my day....

Ummm so it's the same energy hit but there is just twice as much of it? :)
I don't understand how they can say they have double as much of something when they are comparing something half the size. Does this mean that if I drink half a can of mother then I have had double the energy hit of a can of red bull? :)
Just playing.

I prefered the old Mother that tasted abit like the bottom of my ashtray. hehe
I have my suspicions that the new Mother is just Monster energy in a different can.

I like the ad too. I love the effort they had to go to on all of their advertising to make mention of how it tastes nothing like the old one. Surely they would have been better off changing the name all together? I mean a lot of people might not wanna take the chance of ending up with 500ml of that foul tasting original crap?

I like the drinks for their quick energy hit but find 500ml a bit to big for a breakfast drink. By the time Im finished there is almost no buzz to speak of. It's easy to down the smaller cans first thing in the morning, they don't leave me bloated and thay don't have enough time to get warm.

[Dags]

It made me laugh when the first ad came out, then they changed it to stick figures and said the lawyers said they had too. Funny s**t

[remotebandit]

blokes , seriously , i dont see them giving any energy , i reckon its all bullshit to be honest . I reckon its all in your head when you drink it .

What i do believe in is Gatorade , Poweraid and the like rehydrating the fluids but these energy drinks are just a toss that happen to taste great .

[Emlyn]

yeah i never get that buzz that there on about but they taste great

[Sly33]

Have you guys tried some of the legal body buiilding supplements on the market today?

BSN NO XPLODE is probably the biggest seller. it is a pre cursor for strength training and heavy load lifting for gyms etc. Basically uses nitrogen to assist caffeine delivery into blood stream.
I guess you could call this an energy drink, when i take two scoops on AN EMPTY STOMACH (yes i just used caps becuase if your not on an empty stomach its rendered close to useless) it makes me go off my nut!

Bench increase from 3 x 8 reps of 100kg to 3 x 8 reps of 110kg.

9 x mr olympia Ronnie Coleman and now UFC are some of the areas promoting it. It comes in powder form, has next to no sugar and very little calories and carbs. Plus it tastes pretty good as well.

http://bsnonline.net/splash/no_flash.php then look for NO XPLODE.

I would not recommend however for this to be used as frequently as some of you are drinking the redbulls etc, caffeine in this thing is through the roof!

Redbull, Mother, V have MASSIVE amount of sugars/calories etc, i hope you are all burning them off fatties :-)

[nexxus]

I don't use any of the energy drinks, nor the "body building suppliments" Dan mentioned.

But then again I don't drink or smoke either.

... I'll just sit in the corner with my glass of water :P

[Mazimbwe]

Espresso and the "Blood Orange & Chili" energy drink, can't remember the brand name.

[Lazer_ZB5]

i believe the "Blood Orange & Chilli" energy drink is smart energy

[remotebandit]

hey sly ... tell your brother to take some and build himself up a bit ... haha

[Sly33]

ahahahah!!

I saw him running round the block the other day and gave him a beep whilst i was lazyily driving the car.... better him running than me i cant be bothered running, i think i am allergic to it... i break out in a sweat and turn red, its terrible! ahahaah!

[remotebandit]

haha , your 1 of those 1 minute men , your all pumped up but try do some cardio and your a wreck ... lmao

[Dags]

If you want to feel that "buzz" then check the servo's to see if you can find "JOLT" cola....
It'll make your heart jump out of your chest... I only drank it once when I was a truckie, and it scared me....

[Sly33]

Ahhh yes Jolt cola... i remember that stuff back from the 90's, my friend was a full lan nerd pc techie and he would have cans of the stuff lying around! reminds me of that South Park World of warcraft episode with Cartman.

RB - Weights are good cardio as well, but yeah watching me run is kinda like watching a rhinocerous put out a fire.... its just not a pretty look.... i have been doing some cardio though (circuit cirlces, high intensity training) dropped 4 kilos,it kinda gets a bit uncomfortable especially when its hot.

Has anyone read on the mother drinks lately "maximum daily energy limit" or somethign like that, its near the top of the can, i didnt think we had a maximum limit of many things like caffeine or sugar? i could be wrong??

[Mark]

Dunno about max legal limit crap but if that was true then many of us including me are breaking that law lol. I was drinking the big cans of V this week since that's what was on special at the servo and I got more of a buzz from them over the Mother's but mother tastes better. Sly as a teen I weight trained like mad though now in my 30's im just a big fatty and used to spend 1 to 2 hours twice a day at the gym. I used to get a real high doing so as odd as that sounds but I burnt out after 3 years and when I stopped I became lazy and turned to fat in 6 months. I feel tired just thinking about it theses days lol.

[Sly33]

Mark, i know how ya feel mate, i have been training since i was 19 so 10 years in total, shoulders going, acl joint on its way out, its kinda a no win situtation, keep going until something tears (Me left rear delt went about 4 months ago but now seems to be holding in there) or stop and become overweight, in trainiing so much your food intake nearly doubles and I get used to the amount of food i eat, problem is when i have a bit of time off i keep on eating the same amount without burning it off.

Yeah the last 12 months i have been umm and arring about going to the gym i just keep doing it though and caffeinate up before hand on the stuff i mentioned before.

I manage gyms/personal trainers for a living so it does make things a bit easier, but the flipside is when i train, a member/personal trainer will tap me on the shoulder to ask me questions, so when i finish work as good as it is already being at the gym it has a big negative flipside to it.

On the whole energy drink situation - just watch the amount of calories in these drinks guys, i just looked at a can of mother and noticed the amount of sugar/calories/energy easily over 30% the amount of your daily intake of calories! massive amount for such a small amount of what it is. Maybe thats what it is.... the amount of bl**dy sugar in it, no wonder why it tastes so good! aahhh mother why do the worst things taste so good!

Sorry to put a healthy spin on it guys, its just one of the first things (and alcohol) that i see when an overweight person comes in, the 1st questions are... so do you drink much alcohol? do you drink many energy drinks? "Yes" well STOP IT *SLAP!*. Sorry :-(

[Mark]

Yeah agree totally on the amount of sugar in theses drinks. Theses days I really dont eat that much but years of soft drink abuse and my love of whiskey is what has stacked on the kilos :( I have given up on the alcohol over the last few weeks and dont drink or eat high carb meals/drinks after 3pm and with a bit of luck ill start to drop the fat soon.

[PapaSmurf]

Used to drink the Red Bull on long drives. They were good for about 45min stretches if i was totally wiped. The wife likes the V. But now we are giving the Mother a go.

[sebjaki]

Red Bull over any other anyday.

[llama]

the REAL american monster not that fake stuff

[Dan]

im a mother and V fan, but dont mind the occasional red bull or monster
