Energy Drinks: Fan or Foe?

[Luigi12]

As most of you are probably aware (I hope?) soda is bad for you. Energy drinks are the same times ten (or times twenty?).

If you want some energy, drink some Turkey Hill Iced Tea. I had two bottles of their orange tea after I ran a one mile race and ended up so hyper I went running for like an hour and a half and still didn't want to stop. It was super crazy.

Twenty times energy drinks are bad for you!
Twenty times sugar! twenty times caffeine!

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm no. I don't drink things that taste and look like piss.

Well I will say I agree if you're talking about regular Iced Tea. I don't like it either. But like I said, they have some flavored kinds that don't taste anything like Iced Tea (like the orange tea I had and I think there's a raspberry somethingorother too).

Cops is the only good thing they show.

I liked Happy Tree friends and the old Attack of the show, with sarah, not this olvia chick

Oh and Icons! I love that show too

Also, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurine, Taurine is sourced from bulls' bile, not piss.
But it is a convenient coincidence that it's a portmanteau of taurus and urine.

Oh. Well, still not semen..

The thing is that most of the drinks claim that all of their "medical" ingredients are sourced from herbs or just plants in general...still makes you think.[/quote:a8d71]

Urea is a common ingredient for making the salts and electrolytes in lots of things, and it is commonly sourced from animal urine. So many ingredients in all sorts of stuff have unpleasant origins.

Don't some of those drinks come with a health warning saying not to have more than 2 cans a day ? That can't be good.

Yup, not supposed to have more than ONE in a single day. The funny thing is all of the corner stores that sell them always have a "two for one, save a dollar" so people always end up buying two. I am one of those people.....bought two today (total volume over 1L and drank them both, one after the other). I'm alive but I feel like shit right now

I know sportacus would not approve of them.

Hm, my physics teacher has two children (in the perfect age range for watching LazyTown). I was drinking some RockStar and Full Throttle at the same time and then I said to myself (out loud) - "Man, this stuff only works for a while. I need some sports candy!" I said it loud enough for her to hear me and when she did she gave me a funny look, I dunno if it was just because what I said, or that she actually recognized "sports candy" but I'm scared of asking her if she knows what LT is cause she might think I'm weird. LOL YA

Thankfully I haven't used the word around people that actually matter yet, but dropping a random reference to sportscandy can have interesting results...

I was over at an unrelated forum a few months ago, and we were all having a conversation about our pets. Somehow they started talking about fruit salad, and my mum came through the door with a bundle of fruits, but I slipped and wrote sportscandy instead.

The response was instantaneous:

"Did someone say sportscandy?"
"ZOMG, that's LazyTown, right?"
"I love LazyTown!"
"And I watch it with my little brother!"
"Stephanie is hot!"

Turned out that everyone in the thread was a closet LazyTown fan, and we had a rather interesting debate about Sportaloony's elf magic.

I would have guessed that from "Stephanie is hot!" the thread would've gone out of control and everyone got banned and the forum shutdown. Hmmm. Haha, maybe I'll reference to LT more often from now on!

You don't know me.

You're a minor, you can't legally engage in marriage.
