yikes
First of all where can I get an 8oz Monster energy drink that only costs $1.00
cost PER SERVING… the cans of monster are 16oz and 2 servings. Pretty common to find them for 2for$4
Ah ok…stupid me. Yeah usually 7/11 has them 2 for 4. Looks like I’m getting my monies worth!
the caffeine content isn’t even the scariest part of it. it’s the combo of ingredients in them. I wrote a 25pg research paper about it in college…
Fun Fact: Rockstar and Monster are KNOWN to cause tonic-clonic seizures when more than 2 servings are consumed in less than 4hrs on an empty stomach. The number of reported occurances of this is REDICULOUS! Who in their right mind downs two whole cans of monster or rockstar on an otherwise “empty stomach” in a 4hr period?
Drinking an Amp right now. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
someone who is way too busy being XTREME to be concerned with food
it always bothers me that they show the ingredients on a per serving basis when there are multiple servings per unit and it’s not in a resealable format… like a can of monster where the junk is shown per serving where there are two servings per can… who drinks half and then leaves the open car for 24 hours later?
it’s just to fool people who only look at the number of calories and don’t look at the serving specs.
you don’t share your energy drinks with a friend?
Pour out half for your dead homies?
A quick google search said 1 EIGHT OUNCE cup of coffee has 100-200 mg of caffeine in it… Most people drink several larger cups than that, so it’s not THAT crazy when compared to the general public.
I, on the other hand, don’t consume much caffeine, never had coffee, never take medicine… when I have even ONE red bull I feel like crap; jittery for HOURS.
I drink one cup of coffee pretty much daily…either a standard Kcup size or a medium from TimmyFuckAss’s. Sometimes I follow up with a Monster energy drink if I’m really dragging ass. I drink coffee more out of routine than a beneficial energy boost.
I’ve cut back on coffee since I stopped teaching. Now I just drink a bunch of water in the morning and eat a fairly large breakfast and I’ve noticed that I don’t get drowsy anymore.
Not a fan of energy drinks,love my coffee though,2-3 cups a day.
Furious Pete FTW
Jack?
“Who needs sleep when there is red bull”
Holy shit that kid’s retarded. Check his vid of him eating that massive doughnut. Disgusting.
Furious Pete actually used to be anorexic believe it or not. Dude’s a beast, not to be confused with LA Beast.
I drink plenty of Pepsi Max at 69mg per 12 oz serving. 0 calories and ~20 cents a serving.
I have never seen a Decaf 5 Hour Energy, are those the normal ones?
Honestly, I drink 3-5 cups of coffee a week (medium or large tims) and maybe a 5 hour energy once a month or less. The only other “energy” drink is sometimes a red bull and vodka, but that is pretty rare. I am with Newman on this one, if I drink more then 1 cup of coffee I get the jitters.
