Something new...

This has been taunting me at the local Gas Station for a while now, so I thought I'd give it a try, instead of my usual Sobe Adrenaline Rush.
Upshot is a 2.5 ounce energy drink with 200mg caffeine — sounds good... .
Okay.. took me more thatn five minutes just to get the bottle open — that's not a good sign.

Flavor: Mocha
Ingredients: Proprietary Methylxanthine Blend - PytoXan (Proprietary blend of plant-based methylxanthines-Caffiene, Theobromine, Theophyline, from Guarana Seed extract, Green Tea extract, Kola Nut extract and USP caffeine anahydrous)
Other Ingredients: Water, Liquid Sucrose, El Salvadorian Coffee Extract, Chocolate Extract, Vanilla, Natural Flavors, Natural Gums, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate (to preserve flavor).

Smell:
Like a chocolaty NyQuil (hmmm....)

Since it's only 2.5 ounces, it's gonna go down quickly (also because of the NyQuil thing...

Note to self, "Don't buy this again!"

I can't quite describe the taste.. maybe like the cheapest chocolate liqueur available in the third world, & the conveyor belt at the factory must go past bags of coffee beans, so it that gets an idea of what it's supposed to taste of.

Live and Learn!

Update: It may taste pretty bad, but it definitely got the job done, & I am just bouncing off the walls!
But I stil won't buy it again. Maybe it should be labeled, "For emergency use only."

Question of the Day

If your health insurance covers check ups,
why doesn't your car insurance cover oil changes?

The atheist's nightmare: the banana

These guys are way on out there.. Probably Huckabee supporters!

From the Youtube page:

Kirk Cameron learns why the design of such a well-thought-out fruit PROVES that 'God' is responsible for all of creation. Surely He made the banana with humans in mind. Surely He wanted us to drink daquiris, too.
Also, how does this guy explain the artichoke?
