I frankly haven't looked into this and can't comment, but I will say that there are health concerns with stimulants and health concerns with depressants--and if you mix the two, I could probably believe you get some combo that's the worst of both worlds. But if there are proven risks, document on the can. I doubt they'd do any good--see Denis Leary's routine about warnings on cigarettes for reference--but we can't (and shouldn't) protect people who are (mostly) in their right minds from willfully and consensually damaging themselves. Sorry about that too.

But setting all that aside, I have never understood the appeal of alcoholic energy drinks. I mean, seriously: make up your damn mind. Do you want to be up? Or be down? Do you want stimulants? Or do you want depressants? If you take both at the same time don't you just wind up back where you started, except for having consumed a crapload of sugar, thumped your liver a good one and freed your wallet of several bucks? So I can't shed a tear for their passing. Is anybody else sorry to see them go?

Booty Sweat - Drink Review
Posted on 12.15.08 by Widge @ 5:04 pm
Booty Sweat

So yes, they sent out a promo can of Booty Sweat, Alpa Chino's energy drink, from Tropic Thunder. After what a ridiculous good time the movie was (and the commentary--it's genius) I felt confident that I should sample this unfortunately named beverage.

This was created by Boston America (who brought you the Duff energy drink) and so I had high hopes--usually a movie tie-in promo drink is boring and uninteresting, but Duff was rather tasty.

This, though, is less successful. The main taste is cherry-ish, followed by sugary syrupy. Granted, usually when drinking one of these things (energy drinks in general, I mean), you're prepared for an onslaught of sugar--it's an energy drink, after all. That would be like ordering a cheeseburger and then bitching about the cheese taste. But even for an energy drink, this is strong. And the cherry taste--well, I'm not a big fan of cherry anyway, but this tastes more artificial than even most artificial cherry flavors. It's nowhere near the excellent cherry taste execution that we got with Game Fuel Mountain Dew, for example.

Happy Boost - Drink Review
Posted on 12.13.08 by Widge @ 2:00 pm
Happy Boost

Happy Boost is a drink that promises support of "Healthy Moods, Energy + Libido." Which makes it an energy drink of sorts, which puts it squarely in our jurisdiction. This even though it actually has no caffeine in it, so no real stimulants except for goji, which is what the company terms as a "Superfruit." Since they're relying on it to be the Boost in this particular drink, it better be.

The taste is not bad--it's got pear, pomegranate, cherry, cranberry and prickly pear juices in addition to the goji, plus green tea as well. I can taste a bit of the cherry and pomegranate--and I'm assuming the strange (but not unpleasant) taste is the goji, since there's supposed to be 24,000mg of the stuff in here. It is, after all, 98% juice.

As nice a taste as it is, though, does it actually deliver on its promise of supporting the big three up top? Eh. Not really. I received not even the ghost of a blip on my scope--and since we're not dealing with caffeine it's not really a tolerance issue. At the end of the bottle I was just as fatigued as when I started it--and even waiting a while to see if anything "kicked in" didn't work.

Here's the other thing that I find a little odd: the drink says, in its explanation of what goji is, that it's "been used for 4,000 years to support positive moods, healthy aging, eye health, healthy energy levels, liver and kidney health, and more." The website says it has "been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 3,000 years to help support such things as a healthy immune function, healthy moods (known as the "Happy Berry"), libido, energy levels, resistance to fatigue and is most commonly known as an anti-aging "super" food." That's a bit of an odd difference in years, although technically correct: 4000 is over 3000.

Bom Dia: Acai Energy: Transcend & Conquer - Drink Review
Posted on 12.06.08 by Widge @ 5:48 am
Bom Dia: Acai Energy: Transcend and Conquer

So Bom Dia, the people who bring you many different pricey but tasty acai drinks (and yes, I know it's really a?a?, but you know what I'm saying--and acai is easier to type), now has a couple of flavors designated as "all natural energy." That puts them squarely in our jurisdiction, so here goes.

Acai Energy: Transcend is the one in the green and is an "all natural juice blend." And it's 100% juice so that's something. Yes, if you haven't figured out that you need to check the percentage of what's actually juice on the juices you buy, well, now you know. It's got among its ingredients: acai juice, green tea, guarana, apple juice, raspberry juice, "natural flavors," merlot grape juice, taurine, Vitamin C (100% RDA), mangosteen puree, L-Theanine (an amino acid, apparently), and B6 and B12 (300% RDA for each of those), along with 25% RDA of Vitamin K, and something called yumberry juice.

Now you know how you see some information about a product and think: okay, you're just making shit up now? Yeah. Yumberries. Seriously? Apparently so. The somewhat reliable Wikipedia lists yumberry as an known alias of Myrica rubra. Which sounds so much like a Lucasian alien bounty hunter name--wasn't that the lizard guy? Anyway. If your name was myrica rubra you'd stick with yumberry too. Although I have this sick desire for yumberries to taste horrible, just for the sheer irony of it. Imagine that lesson when you were a little kid: "Have a yumberry!" "Blech! This tastes like poo!" "Just preparing you for the rest of your life there, Junior."

What the hell was I talking about? Oh yes. The drink.
