Today before my workout, I purchased a blue colored energy drink in a glass bottle designed to look like a handgrenade. It is called "BOMBA". The Hindu-looking man behind the counter cracked some barely decipherable jokes about 'throwing it at people in Afghanistan'. I later went on their website, and after being introduced to their company representatives, a nude interracial couple , I clicked on their FAQ to learn more about this amazing product.
"Frequently asked questions about BOMBAenergy.
Why has there been made this specific shape of the bottle for BOMBAenergy?
Shape and closure represent the brand name in a very simple and striking way. The consumer will perfectly understand the non-verbally and internationally comprehensible message of the “explosive energy” which he feels by drinking this energy drink. Last but not least - the concept as a whole is underlined by the slogan “excite your mind”.
For this unique packaging BOMBA was highly praised at the British Shine award 2001 in the category INTERNATIONAL.
We as company hereby would like to distance ourselves from all the warlike and terroristic conflicts. In this regard, the shape of the bottle has nothing to do with an ideological position.
Can BOMBAenergy explode?
Yes, but only inside the body and with a positive effect on your energy levels. The bottle, itself, cannot explode.
How long does BOMBAenergy keep?
It can be kept safely for 18 months. (Or it will explode)
What is the energy content of a bottle of BOMBAenergy?
Depending on the type, between 155 KJ (35,9 kcal) and 234 KJ (55.5 kcal).
Is BOMBAenergy suitable for diabetics?
No, because of the large amount of sugar that has been added to it.
Why shouldn’t sweetener be used instead of sugar?
Sugar (aka 'refined crap') is an important principal constituent or energy source, lending significant support to one of the main effects of BOMBAenergy, the overcoming of the ’fatigue threshold‘, and providing stamina.
What are the most important components ?
Caffeine, taurine, sugar and guarana extract.
What are the most important additives?
Vitamins, flavourings, colouring, aromas, other shit etc.
Are any of these components or additives harmful?
No, all the drinks have been food-agency tested and approved.
Does BOMBAenergy have the same effect as coffee?
A BOMBAenergy drink has roughly the same effect as one cup of Espresso. But it has the distinct advantage that the caffeine, being an additive, is purer and has had the bitter substances removed. The result is improved tolerance, especially for the stomach, and one of the main features of BOMBAenergy is that it is also extremely refreshing.
What happens if you mix it with alcoholic drinks?
No harm will be done if you mix BOMBAenergy with alcohol (it'll just thin your blood), but we do recommend limiting your intake to the quantity stated.
How much BOMBAenergy can you drink?
There are no rules about it, in the same way as there are none about how much coffee you can drink, for example.
What is the effect of taurine ?
It assists with the metabolism of the liver, thus boosting performance, and with neutralising harmful substances that are in the body.
Is BOMBAenergy a medicine?
No, BOMBAenergy isn‘t a medicine, it is a uniquely formulated first quenching energy drink.
Is BOMBAenergy suitable for children?
In general, no foods or drinks containing caffeine are recommended for children.
Why should you drink BOMBAenergy?
You should drink it whenever you want to, but particularly when you are engaged in physical or mental exertion. As we have already mentioned, BOMBAenergy will get you through that critical ‘fatigue threshold’.
Can vegetarians drink BOMBAenergy?
Yes, BOMBAenergy has no ingredients of animal origin. For example, taurine is produced synthetically."
