Well, here I go again. It was either this or Rockstar and honestly I didn't feel like "partying like a rockstar" while here at work. My ass has been dragging all day in spite of the copious amounts of coffee that I've been drinking so I'm gonna knock one of these babies back and see what happens.
I'll admit that I'm a little concerned because on the back of the can it says, "Not recommended for children, pregnant women or people sensitive to caffeine." and yet it doesn't list how much caffeine is in the drink. It does contain the following in alarming amounts:

- Taurine - 1000mg
- Inositol - 100mg
- Panax Ginseng - 50mg
- Guarana - 50mg
- Grape Seed Extract - 25mg
- L-Carnitine - 25mg
- L-Arginine - 10mg
No I'm not becoming an energy drink addict, although i'll freely admit to being a caffeine addict fo' sho'. Each day around 3pm I run out of gas, probably from the crappy lunches I'm eating of late, so I've been looking for a kick. I usually find said kick through old coffee or diet soda.
Yesterday's "Rip It" experience wasn't bad. It tasted quite good. It should have, as it was 99% high fructose corn syrup. Amazing what mainlining high fructose corn syrup will do for your energy levels.
Something about the name of this one...

I'm not sure if it was the Monster Lo-Carb energy drink or the 3/4 of a container of Wild Berry Ice Breakers that I snarfed down on the way home but man was I ever in bad shape last night after dinner. I nearly finished all of this month's Harpers in there. I do know that the Ice Breakers contain Sorbitol which, consumed in large quantities can screw things up. Once again, too much of anything is usually not a good idea.
I can't believe I'm letting myself get sucked into this mess. Mike had to stop for gas after lunch and I've been behind the 8-ball on the caffeine thing today, so I thought what the heck I'll try another one of these energy drink things. So I went into the mini mart and considered which to pick out of the plethora of choices. While I considered my options, at least a dozen people rolled through picking various energy drinks.
I settled for the low ccarb monster option. There's 2 servings for a total of 20 calories. The last one I had was 2 servings for a total of 280 calories that yielded nothing more than a multitude of high-intensity, vigorous farts on my drive home. We'll see what happens with this one.
Yeah I know this is silly, I know I know.
