It's that time of year again. . . For a Red Bull thread
Many imitations these days, but still nothing does the job as well. For those wonderful days when you decided to:
1) Not do any work all semester for EE 482, "digital signal processing."
2) Not start studying until the day before the final.
3) Go out to the rugby fight night, and then have to don the gloves unexpectedly.
4) Win the fight, but after having absorbed one good shot in the noggin
5) Study the whole night with a cranial feeling of strangely detached euphoria.
I should be OK for the exam. Despite the no work thing, I had a pretty good deal of Analog SP knowledge before hand. But there's still no escape from the cram session.
Yes.

We were in the middle of a long shoot one day and the orders were given for three Red Bulls. Low and behold, they're pretty damn good. Straight I mean. I had tried the old Red Bull and Vodka on the Slopes of Mt. Doom (also known as Big Mountain Montana) earlier this year but that doesn't count strictly speaking.
And even though it's expensive enough that I still won't buy it for home consumption, it's pretty darn good... the energy it gives you is not that kind of caffeine / sugar OD were you get all jittery and distracted. I at least, am more able to concentrate after a Red Bull, vs. say a handful of cookies.

Plus, Adrenaline tastes better.
Pssh. Just another lame spinoff.
And, might I add, you are incorrect. The taste of Red Bull cannot be beat. If you think otherwise, there's something wrong with your tastebuds.
Yes.
I'll stick to my Adrenaline...... and Monster Energy. That's a good one too. I like the diet one.

Yes.
(this whole thread has been a product of mucho caffeine, and what is probably a mild concussion. Don't try to talk sense into me now.)

Yeah, well... I haven't had my caffeine yet.
I'll be going out soon to get my
of course, the real kick in Red Bull is the 1500mg of Taurine,
described on some cans in Asia as "Essence of Male Bull"
(like there's any other kind of Bull)
Testosterone precursors... mmmmm </homer>
I'm surprised manufacturers don't leverage truth in advertising by using pics of the real ingredients.
From the excellent collection at FSU's Digital Electron Microscopy Lab
Stimulating both visually and neurochemically.
Caffeine
Taurine
Testosterone

Plus its packed with taurine so its illegal in mexico!
Don't ask me anything else tho I just did wrote the radio ads, did a couple of outdoor boards, and some free pickup weeklies.

Coffee in this country sucks. It's either perculated piss or some pricey brew. A Red Bull is about $1.25, and it gets the job done in a way that coffee doesn't. The B-Vitamins and whatever else in there prevent the caffiene-low from hitting you so hard.
Yes, $1.25. I buy them in bulk, and I don't even need to brew them.
Interestingly enough, I absolutely dominated that exam. I was shooting for a C, given the whole "I'm graduating, have a job, and don't care" thing. But I'm safely in the B range, and most likely in the A range. I really should get drunk and beat up more often. . .
And it's not a matter of "good coffee vs. bad coffee". I've partaken of some quality stuff in my day... everything from home-ground Joe at the local breakfast diner to the fancy shit at the Ritz Carlton, and of course Starbucks, Caribou, etc. It all tastes like crap unless you put some cream and sugar in it, in which case why not just have something that tastes right from the start like hot chocolate?
I'll take hot chocolate anyday over coffee; coffee sucks.
I like Red Bull and vodka. It's never given me any trouble, but some of my friends have reported getting a little fucked up on that combination. Nothing like mixing strong stimulants with strong depressants .

I can just see the postings keep on coming all night long, getting more and more stream of consciousness as they go, people start quoting shorter and shorter bits of previous posts while their responses get longer and longer..
Personally, I don't touch those drinks
