Ok, I've been fasting for 30 days. I've had one cup of tea a day, usually at about 5am for one month, and that's it.
This morning I drank a big fat 500ml can of "Relentless", Coca Cola's answer to Red Bull.
Steer well clear is my advice. Feels like I just took a slack hanful of amphetamine :lol:
-
Does it taste as vile as Red Bull? =) Honestly I do not understand why people drink those energydrinks. I haven't tasted a single brand which didn't taste like sweet, chemical, liquid horsedung.
-edit-
Stop answering before I'm done editing! ;).

Pretty damn similar to be honest :lol:
Right, I'm back to do more circuit training on my walls...
As for why, well, I just wanted to see what the effect would be :-D
-edit-
... I can't! ;-)

Sounds fabulous - where can I score some of this wonderjuice?
-
I found it in my local ASDA in the 'energy' drinks section of the fizzies ailse.

So you took the plunge eh Karl?
The come down off it is worse than from mdma. :lol:

OK, just back from the shops, relentless now nestling in fridge.

Hmmm... the only problem I ever had in that department was with, aherm, impurities.
the come down off amphetamine, now that's horrible..... bevvy hangover crossed with chronic depression - shudder, what a nasty memory.

@Wilse
I dunno if it will have the same impact on you. If not, try reducing your stimulant intake to near zero for a month then downing a can :lol:
-
Caffiene aside, just look at how much sugar (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&t=k&ll=54.697383,-1.194677&spn=0.003782,0.009753) there is per can!
(dead centre of the image) ;-)

Will probably never be released here in Norway, as even red bull is banned here due to containing too much caffeine and taurine.
Normal cola actually contains the maximum amount of caffeine allowed.
-
I'm still a bit hyper now :lol:
-
I can vouch for the danger of this beverage (http://www.relentlessenergy.com/).
I downed one to keep me alert during a long drive and I ended up with 3 points on my license. Go figure. :-o
btw, the only place I have seen it is at a Sainsburys petrol station.

Touche!
I actually shat out of tanning it. It's still nestling in the fridge. I'm alert as I need to be for now.
I'll save it for a time when I need a wake up boost. ;-)
-
I'd be interested to see how you found it. I'm still wide awake now having drank the stuff some time before 8am this morning :lol:
Bear in mind I only slept about 5 hours before that, too...

Was it on the pump next to the five star?

Ya-what? Christ, nannystate redefined :\.

It's pretty strong stuff for a basic drink, I'll give it that.

And your skin feels awful...
and sometimes you're having that thought, "it will get bigger again.....won't it?" :lol:

As do your insides - makes you want to turn yourself inside out before you jump in the shower for fourth time that day...you're having that thought, "it will get bigger again.....won't it?".
:roflmao: I'd forgotten about that particular side-effect.

i was wondering why youve been posting like a blue arsed fly, and now i know. :-) no point trying to keep up

The first time you see it in that state is enough to send you into paranoid amphetemine psychosis for a week I reckon!

In between the auditory hallucinations of every tune from the night before playing at once in your head.
Jellies and prozac is the best cure for that. :lol:

Did you pluck up the courage to down it yet? :-D
I ask as I am planning to get myself a can now that I am about to embark on a 200 mile round trip. Hopefully I won't get any further points on my license this time. :lol:
-
@Gadget
Get a really long straw and slowly consume it as you drive :-D

The best way of doing this is to hook yourself up to a drip :-D

Probably not a good idea in this case, what with it being fizzy and all. Hyperactivity and CO2 induced "bends" sounds particularly bad...
-
it wasnt in stock at my local tesco :-(. no caffeine induced stupor for me

You should be able to find it at your local ASDA, if you have one.
A few cans of that and you'll be a Guru Meditator in no time ;-)

I just got back. I couldn't manage a whole can as I was already feeling a bit hyper after half a can. I had to spill some of it down the drain.
It still had its effect though. If I am still typing past 3am don't be surprised :crazy:

You could have poured it into an empty drinks bottle or something and saved the rest for tomorrow morning ;-)

Not yet but I might neck it in the morning as I've had a somewhat extravagant weekend and don't imagine I'll be too happy about getting up for work tomorrow.
-
Or if you want to save it, just eat half a bag of sugar and a slack handful of amphetamine :lol:

I was afraid that the minute amounts of saliva that undoubtedly found their way into the can whilst sipping may kind of mutate, march forth and multiply creating a toxic biohazard by the time the sun decides to pop up again and scare the living bejeezus out of the neighbourhod vampires.
Erm... I think the effects of caffiene are showing.. I had better stop before I come back tomorrow and don't recognise a word I have written :headwall:
-
It would have been fine in the fridge. Even with all that sugar (which might not work in their favour depending on the osmotic gradient across their cell walls), bacteria would have struggled at first, too much acidity and too cold.

I think I'd rather nail my knackers to a passing bin lorry with a rusty pitch fork...
-
Hmmm.. now you tell me :roll:
I did consider drinking it all up for a second, but I imagine I would be breaking the 'most posts in one night' record if I had.
I am buzzing a little. does it show? :lol:

Did you not see what happened to my post count the day I had it? I think it went from 9050 to 9200 or something :lol:
-
The thing is that I don't normally consume such large amounts of caffeine recreationally. I only evr drink that stuff when driving as it stops me from feeling sleepy.
Recovering from it takes time and copious amounts of water consumption and multiple trips to the loo.
The post count increase is just a nice side effect :lol:
-
I don't think anybody does. The amount we are talking about is equivalent to several cups of strong coffee in one drink. I generally have at most one or two cups of coffee a day normally. Having that stuff after a month of reduced caffiene intake was... amusing :-D

Well, I do have a tendency to exaggerate sometimes... :-D

Oh, I thought it was because that you didn't have bin lorries in weegie...

Stop it!! or you'll have everyone here on a "Relentless" TM mission to invade their supermarket for this stuff :lol: :lol:
It's not as if Coca Cola are paying us for this free publicity or something...
..Hmm nowe there's an idea. Get paid to plug stuff on forums. Hey! I thought of it first! :-P

Right enough, they're more often referred to as "Midgie Vans."

You think that's bad?
A conversation overheard whilst queueing at the cigarette booth in Somerfield
between two of the wonderful, queue-jumping, "salt of the earth" type scum that populate my local supermarket during the day.
I was planning on trying to work it into a daft song, although I'd have to come up with a funny ending, despite the fact that whole episode was a sort of tragi-comedy anyway:
--
Him: Hawd oan a minute
Her: Whit?
Him: Hawd oan a wee minute
Her: Ah'm jist gawn tae the fag coonter

Assistant: Excuse me there's a queue.

A can of caffiene enriched anything would go down a treat just now. My brain feels like it's so much wet cotton wool...
