I would love to see a video of this. Watching peoples faces as they taste. Much of that stuff sounds downright awful.

Thinking about it, I have never tasted a good energy drink. They all taste like chemical waste.



Oh, and you forgot to link to this thread in the article.

I dunno where you got your pussy prices from, but £2.25 is wrong.

Case of 24 cans of Pussy Natural Energy Drink £36.00 (£1.50 a can)

all the super markets do their own brand energy drinks now too - like the cheesecake test it's always good to pit the big supermarkets againts one another (btw morrions cheesecake IS the best!)

I swear I'm the only person that is not affected by caffeine D: Energy drinks just don't work on me. I could drink litres of it and get no buzz, and still fall asleep come 10/11pm.

It's the average price of the two?

More caffeine???? you must be crazy.
Was this supposed to be a pod cast type thing but the sound lost? just surprised at all the microphones.
I honestly think that in the UK Redbull is unassailable, so many drinks companies have tried to take their market share and just been left shattered on the roadside, and too many try to use sexually provocative names. Recently a brewing company tried pushing an energy drink from Europe called "orgasm" in the UK flopped unsurprisingly due to not many people wanting to put orgasm juice in their mouths.

Yea it will be a CustomPC podcast, but bit-tech doesn't have the facility to host it yet. I dont know when the 'cast will go live.

This article also appeared in CustomPC magazine this month. Probably due to the recent merger with the publishing company?

Most of these drinks (I'm sure) are not even available to buy in the UK (not in shops at least)

They were available at AquaPCs until they closed last week :(

You reviewed the wrong Bawls, Bawls in a can seems to water down the taste, Bawls in the glass bottles are amazing.

You can't get it for £2.25, it's misleading, it should read £1.50-£3

Clive: … In a generic RPG game of your choosing… [blank stares] … where you have one potion, but you can use it twice… Ahhh, it’s not worth explaining…
E.g. in Zelda you have a flask with bee stuff in it that you can drink from twice... I'm not even an RPG fan...

Be honest guys - did you do this article just to try stealing some SEO juice for pussy?

Either way, I lol'd.

Well normal Relentless is king, but the Inferno (orange) version is really nice.
As for diet, Sugar Free Redbull is just as nice as the original, just no calories.
Tesco's own brand is pretty neat (Kick it's called) they do both normal and diet, at around £1.50 for a six pack, it's dirt cheap and tastes fine.

Agreed you should do a review of shop bought cans, stuff guys can get from supermarkets in the UK. (Monster, Rockstar, Relentless, Redbull Cola and own brand is available from most big supermarkets nowadays)

I don't know if you guys have them in Europe, but you should try NOS. It comes in a bottle that looks like a NOS tank, but it tastes great.
