Continuing on the drinking binge of caffeine, I worked my way through some
more each day. My lab assistant wanted to help by bringing me something to
drink.
Noname Energy drink:
This can is one of the most interesting ones in the lot. It comes in a red
can with a gray bar on it so you can write your name in that spot. This
is a great idea for anyone who shares a fridge and have a fear of having
their drinks stolen. The liquid is red with a hint of cherry flavor.
Energy enhancements include: Taurine (750mg) inositol (100mg) Guarana
(25mg)
Other note worthy information: Sugar (18g) Sodium (200mg)
Stewies:
The yellow can yields a light pink colored liquid. Upon first taste it
felt like someone forgot the sugar in the kool-aid; it had a weak sour
berry taste. The sour and soda water taste was more over powering than the berry
flavoring as it took me a bit to tell what the flavor truly was. I really was
not impressed with it and thought the Jolt blue was better.
Energy enhancements include: Taurine (1000mg) caffeine (120mg) inositol
(50mg) Guarana extract (25mg) Panax Ginseng (25mg)
Other note worthy information: Sugar (28g) Sodium (170mg)
Flaming Moes:
Once again its one that has a berry taste, except this time we have
something with high carbonation. In fact, it's so high that it burns
the mouth. I was expecting more of a burning from a spicy flavor like the
Noname. This one is also a light pink color.
Energy enhancements include: Taurine (1000mg) caffeine (120mg) inositol
(50mg) Guarana extract (25mg) Panax Ginseng (25mg)
Other note worthy information: Sugar (28g) Sodium (170mg)
Nerd
This is a carbonated drink with a lime green color and taste. This was
one of the better tasting drinks I had.
Energy enhancements include: Taurine (1000mg) caffeine (80 mg) inositol (25
mg) Guarana extract (25mg) Panax Ginseng (25mg) L-carnitine (15mg)
Glucuronolactone (600mg) Energy Blend (1.76g)
Other note worthy information: Sugar (28g) Sodium (70mg)
Duffs
The last drink and last of the cartoon spawned names. The color of the
drink is orange just like the taste. The flavor could have been
stronger and sweeter. The sour hint was not over powering.
Energy enhancements include: Taurine (1000mg) caffeine (120mg) inositol
(50mg) Guarana extract (25mg) Panax Ginseng (25mg)
Other note worthy information: Sugar (40g) Sodium (190mg)
Overall the drinks have given me a bit of extra energy with some tasting
better than others. The top two that I might have to get more of are NERD and
PimpJuice. The ones I will avoid in the future are Flaming Moe and Jolt Blue.
Now the other form of caffeine intake I liked were the Foosh mints.
The worst were the Crackheads espresso beans. Some of the other things you might
want to look at are the sugar and sodium levels on these drinks. Most of
the bitter and sour ones had higher levels of sodium and it is something
that needs to be watched by those with high blood pressure.

Once again thanks to Xoxide.com I was
able to have a few weeks of jittery bliss. I am off to Caffeine rehab now.
