Energy drinks
Just last night, on the way home from the regular D&D session, I stopped by the grocery store and picked up, among other things, and energy drink called "Red Dragon". The best praise i can give it, is that the Austrian company who made it, decided not to be complete pretentious douchebags by not making the logo look asian in any way. I still think of them as, at least, partial douchebags, because the drink tastes exactly like Red Bull. Not a single flavour of difference, that I could detect.
And that's when it hit me. Over the past year and a bit, I've tried various different energy drinks, and so far, about 90% of them fall under the category of "Red Bull, in a different can". A further 9% that simply taste like sugary, liquefied excrement (RockSt*r, for example). The final 1%, such as Sobe and Moutain Dew Energy (or as it's known in the States, "Mountain Dew". Silly Canadian caffeine laws) actually taste good.
...
My point appears to have fled my mind, so I'll just ask this: wtf, eh?
Edit: i'd have added Jolt to the list of good ones, but so far as I know, they don't try to pass it off as an energy drink, rather than the mass amounts of caffeine that it is.
