Caffiene!!!
« on: October 24, 2006, 12:05:16 PM »
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? =)


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! ;-)

@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:

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...

I can vouch for the danger of this beverage.

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.


Was it on the pump next to the five star?

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

Probably not a good idea in this case, what with it being fizzy and all. Hyperactivity and CO2 induced "bends" sounds particularly bad...

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 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:


Anybody else get the impression he's on the train back?
