Addiction to energy drinks

I decided to go on a experiment binge, to try all those energy drinks out there. Well at least in my area. I had 3 days off in a row and figured what the hell. Nothing could be more fun then staying up late for 3 days straight. My findings were that not all of them had the energy boost as they claimed to have. Some where really impressive.. others were disappointing. So lets begin.

First one i tried, that got me on the Energy drink buzz was Jolt Blue.. I swear i started to helucinate after i had a can of this, plus it tasted like Cotton Candy. Then i tried Jolt Cherry Bomb. I real nice Cherry cola, Jolt Regular not that great, and Jolt silver, not that great.

Second one I tried was Rockstar, its the most common ya see all around in the area i live in. Gave it a try, the first 4 mouth fulls were good.. after that it just became vile. No idea how i made it through the entire can.

Third one was Jost, What were they thinking when they made this one.. it tasted worse then Rockstar, I had one mouth full, maybe had two can't remember, its one of those energy drinks i want to forget, I do remember pouring it down the sink though it was that gross. ( Really don't reccommend this one.)

Fourth one was Full Throttle, all i can say is WOW! this is gotta be the best energy drink out there, Its made by the coca cola company and it tastes just like pop. Only downside is that it gives ya energy.. but only for about maybe 3 hours.. and then when you come down, you can literally feel your body coming down from it.

Fifth one was, Mountain Dew Energy, I'm not sure if this was really an energy drink it claimed to be, but didn't get no alertness after i drank it, Although friends around me did say i was talking alot faster. So it does speed up your speech.

Sixth, Sobe Rush.. This tasted like a carbonated fruit drink, but like the mountain dew energy.. no alertness I found.

Seventh, Full Throttle Fury.. Another fine Energy drink. Tastes like orange pop i found. You can woof this baby back in no time. This was the last energy drink i tried. Wanted to try Red bull but have heard to many scary stories about the taste, and frankly after the Jost one.. thats all I could picture.

If ya wanna stay up all night.. 2 cans of Full Throttle will work, If ya wanna clean your apartment.. one can of Rockstar will give ya the energy to do it within an hour. If ya can drink the whole can down.

Beware though.. you will have the worst headache of your life the next day though.. cause when you crash.. you'll crash!
