When I get high, I get high on speed...

Well, this is a triumph of target marketing:

Ooh! Yeah!
There's actual fruit juice in there somewhere, so there are theoretically vitamins and minerals and suchlike...

  3. There's nothing wrong with cannibalism, so long as the right people get cannibalized.

  5. McThag, McThag, it's so very simple: "5% Juice" is made by juicing one 3%er and two 1%ers.

    Bigawd, it'll put hair on yer hair. If it don't kill you to death.

  6. I went into arrhythmia just looking at the can.

    Painkillers.
    Caffeine greater than LD50.
    Weapons grade snark.

    Oh this can only end badly.....

  7. I would have thought that the folks at Pepsi could finance new products without resorting to Kickstarter. Guess I was wrong...

  8. Never was a follower of Lost, the show, but the juice-based energy drink that was co-branded was good stuff.
    Hard to find, probably off the market now.

  9. I just woke up from the most awful dream of Anita Bryant after she chugged a couple cans of this stuff.

  10. Huh, orange juice has always been an ingredient in Mountain Dew.

    I wonder if the percentage is any different than regular mountain dew?

  11. AM,

    Sure tastes that way. Also tastes like they pumped it full of Niacin and B vitamins... Is it hot in here, or is it just me?

  12. Man, just looking at that can makes me want to skydive naked.

    TANTRUM!!!

  13. It says caffeine right on the label. You mean that's not a vitamin?

  14. REDUCE ACIDITY IN BLOOD

    :cough: bullsit :cough:
    The human body runs in a very narrow range of pH.
    Respiratory and metabolic acidosis/alkalosis is constantly being monitored and changed to maintain that very narrow range.

    Trying to change your pH is a fools errand and will do nothing except leave your caps key stuck.

    The definitive way to tell if it is just you, can anyone else in the room can hear your heartbeat?

  16. Or you could half and half Orangina with normal Dew and pop two of these http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/bed8/

    with the same effect but tasting much better.

  17. Did Tam really just quote MOTLEY CRUE LYRICS?

    Food?

    No ... you can get 80 gallons of Soylent Diesel from each metric ton of dead hippie.

  19. Tam,

    Those who should be cannibalized probably wouldn't taste very good.

    Patchouli and something vaguely like burning leaves would make the meat gamey, while the acrid taste of self-loathing and hypocrisy would require marinating in milk to remove the bite.

    The more honest among them, especially young female vegans with lots of fruit intake, might approach the sweetness of lobster.

    I suppose I should go get one before Mikey B. starts to lambaste those in Washington for not doing enough to reduce the scourge of energy drinks.

    Seems like all of the good things in life share that "desired to be banned by Bloomberg" connnection.

  21. Seems like all of the good things in life share that "desired to be banned by Bloomberg" connection.

    Here's hoping that Hizzoner doesn't find out that people enjoy having sex....

  22. most carnivorous mammals (dogs, big cats) have a strange flavor, and omnivores (Bears, raccoons) are barely better. Some of the omnivorous ungulates like hogs are extra tasty,and I am told whale bacon is unspeakably toothsome, so even a wholly carniverous ungulate is good to eat.

    For my money, though, herbivores are the tastiest. And the patchoili is on the outside, like the brand on a cow. That goes into making seats on expensive sports cars.

  23. I've had raw whale, but I'll need to put whale bacon as a food quest for my upcoming trip.

    My mouth is already watering in anticipation of geso, shishamo, and kobukuro.

  24. I bought a bunch of 'em, both the orange and fruit punch versions. Is it wrong that I can hear my own heartbeat?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Well, I LOVE Mountain Dew, that's made by Mountain Dew, so I'll give it a Try.

    Besides, it looks like it would be Illegal in New York City, and anyway I can to help keep Mickey Bloomberg's Knickers in a Twist...

  26. @Tam: Is it hot in here, or is it just me?

    "It's OK, I've taken something. I can see things no-one else can see. Why are you dressed like that?"

  27. I hope they at least licensed the song for the commercials.

    Also: "Caffeine: The other Vitamin C"

  28. Jack: "This does what again, exactly?"

  29. Whoa, yeah! Lets rock the house!

    Since I was 12-13 when I first heard that ditty, its been a game to substitute the word heart with fart in various tunes.

    There are some things you wish you could forget.

  30. On your advice, I picked one up at the grocery after riding.

    Less syrupy, less sweet, more fruity than Mountain Dew. I like it better.

    I'm not bouncing off the walls.
