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? =) 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

@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  there is per can!

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 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.
