Redbull or V
Post 6
red bull is gross. mother is okay. so is sprite recharge? live wire was my favourite but i haven't seen that anyway in a long time.
this is all just from a taste preference, i find that none of them actually do anything for me in regards to a 'pick me up'
Post 7
Jolt Cola! :)
Post 8
jolt that shit is old SKOOOOL, and yum. mother dear god thats a chem experiment gone wrong, the bottle shape tells you that, i must admit even tho its the compitition berry v is quite good.
Post 9
V. Because it actually tastes good.
Alternatively, Red Bull direct from Thailand. That shit messes you up!

Post 13

Post 14
Powerade Isotonic pretty good before a game, i usually have. And Banana as food :P
Post 15
I don't like the taste of V...
Red eye, Red Bull or that Hard NRG one taste good but for the best pick me up I go red bull.

Best energy drink?
...ever tried 3 short black coffees in succession?
Post 18
Nope, because that would easily taste worse than all of the aforementioned solutions (ps. coffee is arse).
That'd be like me saying "ever tried stirring an 8-ball of meth into a glass of water?"
Sure you'll get a buz out of it (to say the least), but only after cringing and holding back the vomit. ;)
Post 19
I'd have a good coffee over all of the aforementioned piss in a can/bottle .. err i mean "energy drinks" :P
Post 20
Coffee is a horrible tasting drug with horrible effects. Don't put the reason for your cravings down to quality. ;)
Post 21
I don't mind the taste of any of those mentioned, but they don't do anything for me, pickmeup wise.

According to OCAU Sprite Recharge was replaced by Mother.
Post 25
Mother is some rancid filth they came up with... had two bottles sitting in the fridge for months as no one wants it :p
I guess I hate Redbull and V as well...
Nothing beats pure and simple water :p Pump ftw

Post 26
Redeye Platinum is the best I found in Darwin.
Post 27

Post 28
Any of the red-eye's; RED EYE EXTREME being my favourite.
better tasting than most other energy drinks, and also half the price.

Which is funny cos "Sprite Recharge" was the replacement for "Lift Plus" a few years ago. CCA need to decide what the hell they want to do!
I was always a V fan, as I can't stomach Red Bull.
Red Eye's were ok, but there ended up being too many variations.

100% agree, what kind of muck is Coke (they make this crap) trying to push on the public now. It's by far the worst energy drink out there.
Post 32

the whole thing was a shill so I could post that video :P
Post 33
made with real lightning
Post 34

Post 35
MILO FTW! (that way i can make it until at least 10pm each night!)
Post 36
I agree that Mother is disgusting.

Your mother is disgusting.

Post 38
i like V, but Jolt is my favourite, though its not an energy drink. Red bull is ok, but its not a favourite. Mother is just.. yuck.
Post 39
I just found some Jolt Cola in 615ml Bottles for sale at Parap Fine Foods for $2.95 a bottle each. They don't have that many for sale. They have normal and a new one I never heard of is Black cherry (which I am sipping on now)
Tastes like a Dr pepper a little bit

I'm DEFINATELY going to hit you up before the next NOS.
I remember Fash and I went through a whole slab between us in one night, a couple of DGA's back. When I finally stood up in the morning, it felt like someone had stabbed me in the kidneys and twisted the blade. Still, it kept me going.

Red Bull and V are the two classic energy drinks and probably my two favourites - Mother is god awful.
That being said, Dr. Pepper leaves any other beverage for dead!
Post 51
Man I used to love Dr. Pepper. :D
Post 52
So treat yourself mate.

Post 53
Yeah me too Rec, I was so devastated when a friend told me that it wasn't available in Australia (or at least anywhere near where I live) anymore.
I found a few places in Sydney that sell it, so every time I'm there I treat myself to a couple :P Too bad it's at import price now, $2.80 a can is steep.
Who knows, I might order a bunch of stuff from usafoods sooner or later!
Post 54
you actually like dr. pepper!? wow, that stuff tastes like... well to be honest i don't know, all i know is i can't stomach the stuff. they drink it like water over in the states though. not really an energy drink but an awesome "soda" that you get in the states is mr. pibb, that stuff is awesome.
Post 55
They sell Dr Pepper at Parap Fine Foods here in Darwin :D
Awesome stuff.
Post 56
V or RedBull for me.
