Monster Assault Sobe NO FEAR Gold Edition I keep seeing this new thing at all Gasstation Counters called "Fruit Blast"... it's in a bottle like the "Redline" but it's supposed to be all fruit and give you one heck of a blast.. I haven't rounded up the courage to try it, have any of you? ALSO! Has anyone had the Bawls ICEY yet? God I keep trying to find it but it's only at 7\11's and we don't have any in Atlanta :( ------------- -Tippmann A-5 -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

Yeah, thats it...well that also explains why I can't find it...then again, we have no 7\11's here. If you don't know Bawls, you don't know Energy drinks...look around on Thinkgeek.com Bawls is the undisputed KING of keeping geeks and work-a-holics awake, and also has the most unique taste out there on the market. I only like energy drinks because they give me a little "buzz".. nothing big, but it's entertaining none the less. ------------- -Tippmann A-5 -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

Wait.. are you talking about Bawls? Bawls is simply a highly caffinated beverage it's flavor is natural and is from the Guarana (if I spelled that right) berry which is a tropical fruit. Monster, Redbull, Sobe, and so forth, don't really have a "set" taste but more of a round up of flavors that to most people, is sour. Bawls doesn't have that taste.. it's all about the berry with Bawls....that and loads of Caffinne

Stealth....that's a rather stupid question...about every two weeks, me and my buddy AJ do what's called a "Bawls Run". Basically we gather up around forty dollars, run over to compusa, try to find the Bawls, buy two twelve packs for I think it's 20 dollars each, and basically drink them all in one night to stay awake and continue our "Gaming Spree". I've seen Crunk only a few times.. never tried it, the worst energy drink I've ever had is "Rip It" which you can find at Dollar General or any Dollar Store. ------------- -Tippmann A-5 -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

Bawls is entirly in your mind, over-priced placebo. Albiet, one of the better tasting energy drinks by far. It is still strictly in your mind. They are some what good though, Not what I would call a "natural flavor", but also not nearly as synthetic as most other energy drinks taste. ------------- |

Ok... look a this.. Bawls :Ingredients: Carbonated water, corn syrup, citric acid, natural guarana extract, sodium benzoate (as a preservative), caffeine, artificial flavors and caramel color Redbull: Ingredients: carbonated water, sucrose, glucose, sodium citrate, taurine, glucuronolactone, caffeine, inositol, niacin, D-pantothenol, pyridoxine HCL, vitamin B12, artificial flavours, colors Full Throttle: Ingredients: Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, taurine, natural flavors, sodium citrate, sodium benzoate (to protect taste), ginseng extract, caffeine, carnitine fumarate, yellow #6, caramel color, niacinamide (Vitamin B3), pyridoxine hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), guarana extract, cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12). Monster: Ingredients: Carbonated water, sucrose, glucose, citric acid, taurine, natural flavors, sodium citrate, l-carnitine, panax ginseng root extract, ascorbic acid, caffeine, sodium chloride, niacinamide, riboflavin, guarana seed extract, inositol, glucuronalactone, pyridoxine hydrochloride, cyanobalminAs you can see, Bawls basically consists of guarana extract and caffeine where as the other energy drinks....have things that you really...don't want in your body. I like 'em anyway. And it's not "In your mind" with bawls.. Caffinne does give you a boost, we all know that, and Bawls has the most caffinne "except for Cocaine" out there. Other energy drinks, yes, they are in your mind, because they are giving you things that you're body already has, or dosen't need. ------------- -Tippmann A-5 -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

"artificial flavors." I see how you failed to read that far. |

Actualy, Caffinne gives you a slight temporary boost, and than makes you crash, it hurts more than it actualy helps. Drink water, or Gatorade/Powerade, and eat some fruit. You'll be going alot longer than any energy drink can keep you going. ------------- |

.....yes, they did add "Artifical flavors" to up the taste...but they still have a natural taste in there, the energy drinks I listed besides bawls, DO NOT have a "set" flavor, I guess you're not understanding what I'm saying eh? Sprite has a set taste right? LIME, but it also has artficial flavors to create lime. Monster, Full Throttle, and so forth, don't have a SET flavor to aim for, they just mix all of the boosters together and hope for something good. ------------- -Tippmann A-5 -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

*You will ALWAYS get a boost from caffeine, no mater how small or large the amount, you will always get a little boost. *I never said it gave you ZOMGOZMG energy, I use these drinks to stay awake, once the first one wears of, chug another. *Caffinne is far back on the list on Bawls? If you've ever actually read the back of Bawls beverage, they tell you exactly that it is equal to about 3.5 cup-size servings of coffee. *Corn Syrup won't kill you, high amounts of Taurine can, it can actually be classified as a low-grade steriod, there is a reason that if you have high amounts of Taurine in your system at any Football, Basketball, Olympic event, they will kick you out of there. Taurine (high amounts in redbull) has been very well known to speed up the heart rate to a point that it basically stops. *Compare Taurine and Corn Syrup, which would YOU rather have in your body? ------------- -Tippmann A-5 -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

On what do Scientists disagree with me on? Each time you drink caffenine, yes, it gives you less and less of a boost, but you're system knows its there and it WILL give you a small boost, ALWAYS. Now if you stop and don't drink any caff drinks for say a month, then jug one.. yeah, it's going to give you a much bigger boost, that's a given. But show me what these scientists are claiming please? And yes Stealth, I agree with you. Some people get huge buzzes just by drinking a regular coke or pepsi, some people don't feel anything at all until they have their fifth or sixth coke. It all comes down to the individual person. But the fact is, no matter how small the amount of caff in your system, it is still doing "something" for you. Be that good, bad, small, large. ------------- -Tippmann A-5 -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

Choopie, quite a few people have already (in this thread) said that bawls sucks....I've been trying to defend it why are you JUST now showing up  and Barrel Break, people drink caff drinks to stay awake.... look up the effects of caffinne (I really suck at spelling Caffinne) anywhere, it is supposed to give you a boost, then go away...some people it might make tired after it seeps out their system, others might just go back to their previous state...caffiene is a very "strange" molecule, but I love it. Personally, I would take Ginseng over Caffinne. And HV, what do you mean Smart Water is in a crappy shaped bottle?  Seems fine to me.. and if you look at the bottle closely (inside) you will a hidden goldfish.. he's so cool  (Just pick up a bottle at Target and turn it around in your hands..you'll see him, trust me.

I enjoy the taste of Bawls, kind of like a mild Squirt. I'll drink Redbull for the flavor, and it also gets mixed with jager frequently.
I'd be willing to bet the energy your body redirects to process the corn syrup in an energy drink tops the caffine effect. |

Your an idiot. Ignorant people like you piss me off. At least know something about what your talking about. Corn Syrup or Taurine? Taurine. How many people do you know that chug red bulls everyday? Before you say you know plenty, let me call you a liar. High ammounts of taurine can kill. High amounts of water can too. High ammounts of anything could kill you. According to Wikipedia, taurine is a essential nutrient for the body, and is often added to baby forumla. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurine - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurine ) But don't worry, look at corn syrup, I'm sure thats an essntial nurtient as well. Quit talking about things you don't even know. Your probably one of these people walking around saying protein shakes will ruin your kidneys while you walk around drinking a mountain dew. Impulse- Redline is made by VPX which is a supplement company. They just released a new energy product called NO-Shotgun that seems to be doing pretty well, although I hear it doesn't taste that great. You don't have to be over 18 to purchase Redline, at least in North Carolina where I live you don't. Them keep them in the cooler at GNC. BSN makes a RTD (ready to drink) like redline, called Endorush. I've tried it, and I like it better than Redline. But taurine can kill you so watch out... ------------- |

If you look up Taurine, yes, it's a natural occuring "nutrient", as I said there is a VERY big reason if you have high-amounts of it in your system, you can not attend, or you will be kicked out, of major sporting events. It does act as a steriod if you add more than you need into your body. Naturally, you have enough. Research it on Nutrientfacts it's not healthy to add "EXTRA" to your body. What is this "High Amounts Of Water can kill you" I know you're trying to be smart but seriously. Research it more. And actually, yes, I do know many people who have energy drinks daily, personally every day before I leave for college (8:00 A.M. - 8:30 P.M.) I chug two Sobe No Fear's, and I know plenty of other people that do it too. Hell, I can even list their names if you really want to know. Now, onto what Tae said about the "Resistors" there have been many studies done on the human body to prove if caff drinks will always effect the body, or if for a short time after constantly consuming it, if the body will become "immune" to it. So far, there have been no studies proving "immunity" to it. The resistors get stronger after awhile, but they never get rid of it all. Plenty of studies have proven this by keeping people on caff drinks for three-four weeks straight, and their bodys still show a higher-speed heart-rate after they have had a caff drink. And ProCarbine, what do you mean "You don't get a boost from caffenine? Does Coffee not wake you up, do energy drinks not wake you up? If caffeine didn't wake you up, people would not rely on it to keep them awake at work. Caffeine, as hopefully you all know, stimulates the brain. In your mind, (your brain) makes you think you are tired, Caffeine takes that "feeling" away for a certain amount of time...no matter how "adaptive" your resistors are, it will always take it away for a certain amount of time, short or long. ------------- -Tippmann A-5 -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

Wow Tae, what you said about Caffeine not effecting you after you have had it constantly is NOT TRUE, there are studies that prove what you said WRONG. And I am baseing the "Taurine" off of what olympic officals and other doctors say. Both are technically stimulants though in the end. Why don't you ask your professor as well if he believes that your body becomes immune to the effects of caffeine... I doubt he will agree. ------------- -Tippmann A-5 -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

caffeine does not give you any energy. it is just not a source of energy. what it does is block the sleep receptors in your brain. it is the sugars and the carbohydrates that give you the energy. the vitamin Bs in the energy drink help break down the sugars and carbs quicker so that your body can get energy faster. if i drank a pot of coffee one night, sure, i'd stay up forever, but i wouldn't drink a pot of coffee before i go for a bike ride to give me energy. |

^^^^ I just said that... look at what I said four posts above. And after a bike-ride, most people get tired or worn-down, drinking coffee before that, would make it so that at the end of that ride, you aren't ready to goto sleep.

No you didnt, you said that caffine wakes you up. What carbinefreak is saying is that it doesnt wake you up, it just prevents you from getting more tired. The only time I have ever felt any effect whatsoever from an energy drink is when I had an essay to write overnight, and I drank 4 Monsters quickly. I didnt feel any more awake, I wasnt jittery or "hyper" as some people claim to be. I merely didnt get any more tired. I stayed up until 8:00am and didnt feel as tired as I should have. Thats the only time I've ever felt anything. I know it depends on the person too though, as with many things. I know people that can take a T3 and will be out of it a bit, and I've taken two and felt no different. It sucks not really responding to painkillers when you have a headache :( |

Hm....I think that can be argued..think about it, you wake up, chug a coke...you are tired at first right? You just woke up so of course you are, then you drink the coke, you perk up, and it sustains the "wakey wakey" after all, you are tired after waking up...when the chemical hits, your brain, it's telling you, you're not tired, so technically.. it is waking you up, since it is telling your brain, "Wake up, you're not tired!" ------------- -Tippmann A-5 -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

caffiene works like this: It tricks your brain into thinking there is a shortage of this chemical (not adrenaline, but I forget what it's called) so your body produces more of it. That's what gives you the initial boost. When the caffiene wears off, your body realizes the surplus of chemicals, and stops producing the chemical, which makes you tired. I read that in a random facts/trivia book. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

And that is true, it goes back to it's previous state, or even farther behind chemical wise. However while it's tricking your brain.. it is giving you a jump-start....so it DOES wake you up... before you say "NO" just think about it.

Taurine a steroid? You think an excessive ammount of Taurine can cause steroid like gains? Thats rediculous. I've done more steroid research than you can imagine, and a taurine is nothing near a steroid. Using the theory that anything that you add to your system is a steroid is just stupid. What if I add more sodium to more body? Is the drying out effect a steroid effect? The NCAA are some of the strictest with rules. Show me the rule where it says you can't use excessive taurine. Your taking taurine and making it sound like Anavar or Primabol. Seriously, you think Taurine is that hardcore? You must think Creatine is radioactive with your opinions on taurine... ------------- |

I played football and baseball at Polk, but I graduated last year. We had a passing league against Asheville, with your sorry astroturf field that burns the hell out of you everyone you fall... If I'm not mistaken, didn't Brandon Spikes go to your school? Running back for UNC now? Our football is amazing. We only like 3 games last year. We lost too Avery and Moutain Heritage by 2 points a piece and hendersonville by 6. Very close games. This year their undefeated, I seriously think they can go to state. That is, unless our star QB test positive for taurine or something. ------------- |

NCAA don't ban Ginseng, Caff, or Corn Syrup, so why do they ban Taurine eh? I'm actually quite curious and since you have so much spare time and like to research these things.... please tell me? ------------- -Tippmann A-5 -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

Show me the rule? And how much Taurine is actually banned? I know they banned guocasimine which is found in some protein powders. Which is why companies like Cytosport make MuscleMilk Collegiate ( http://vigorous.stores.yahoo.net/cymumico5.html - http://vigorous.stores.yahoo.net/cymumico5.html ) which are legal by NCAA standards. Just show me the rule? You seem to be an expert on ruling, so just show me the rule. ------------- |

Seriously dude, I'm not going to bother looking it up, my brother was a major athetlic player (you can even google his name "Kelsey Grodzicki" and find tons of results and pics) and he was the one that told me that they had already kicked out I think seven or so people because of "excessive amount of taurine" in their system. Now he did tell me thsi a few years ago...so I don't know if it still stands. You should find him on Velocity Sports, Furman, Marist War Eagles, Throw1Deep, and a bunch of other sport things that I don't understand at all lol. However I can easily bet you that he knows about 10x as much as you do on ANY energy supplements, steriods, etc. (Note he never said it was a steriod) ------------- -Tippmann A-5 -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

I couldn't find the specific NCAA rule on point (yet), but this news article seemed relevant: http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/aztecs/20050723-9999-1s23sdsu.html - http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/aztecs/20050723-9999-1s 23sdsu.html EDIT - here is a link to the banned-drugs page on the NCAA website. Taurine does NOT appear on the list, which raises some interesting interpretation questions in light of that article (and others like it). Maybe PCF and our other biochemists can explain the chemical relationship between taurine and the various banned substances... http://www.ncaa.org/wps/portal/!ut/p/kcxml/04_Sj9SPykssy0xPLMnMz0vM0Y_QjzKLN4j3CQXJgFjGpvqRqCKO6AI-YRARXwN9X4_83FR9b_0A_YLc0NCIckdFALOxkFY!/delta/base64xml/L3dJdyEvUUd3QndNQSEvNElVRS82XzBfTFU!?CONTENT_URL=http://www.ncaa.org/library/sports_sciences/drug_testing_program/2001-02/banned_list.html - http://www.ncaa.org/wps/portal/!ut/p/kcxml/04_Sj9SPykssy0xPL MnMz0vM0Y_QjzKLN4j3CQXJgFjGpvqRqCKO6AI-YRARXwN9X4_83FR9b_0A_ YLc0NCIckdFALOxkFY!/delta/base64xml/L3dJdyEvUUd3QndNQSEvNElV RS82XzBfTFU!?CONTENT_URL=http://www.ncaa.org/library/sports_ sciences/drug_testing_program/2001-02/banned_list.html

i'll have to look into what taurine's affects on the body and brain are... but not tonight... too busy. edit: i lied... just wikied it. appears to be almost a supplement to steroids and creatine users. not sure if supplement is the right word... it's sometimes used with these things, and i'm guessing that it's used because of some of the things it does in the body. it's a natural chemical in the body, sometimes referred to as an amino acid even though it's not. Some of the listed functions of taurine could help with creatine, steroids and other stuff. Listed is adipose regulation, which is fat, and it's sometimes regarded as something that helps burn fat. It also lowers blood pressure. I think the reason it's not banned by the ncaa is because it does nothing that can really enhance your performance in a sport. It doesn't sound like it's direct affect to someone's body in supplement form or energy drink form has really been found. it sounds like it just helps everything else. |

Hey I found an interesting article on taurine. Don't even bother PCF. Here it is! http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:lL0tVTldiB4J:repositories.cdlib.org/cgi/viewcontent.cgi%3Farticle%3D1096%26context%3Duclabiolchem/nutritionbytes+taurine+and+the+brain&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1 - http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:lL0tVTldiB4J:repositori es.cdlib.org/cgi/viewcontent.cgi%3Farticle%3D1096%26context% 3Duclabiolchem/nutritionbytes+taurine+and+the+brain&hl=e n&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1 First thing that came up in google, it was a PDF so I just linked to the HTML file instead. ------------- [IMG]http://i27.tinypic.com/1538fbc.jpg"> Squeeze Box ☣ |

No harm. Procarbine- I know alot of guys who run taurine with their steroid cycles because of taurine taking away some of the pain in their lower back (what they call "back pumps"). Regardless, Taurine can be found in a bunch of foods. It's alot like protein and creatine, they could never really test for it. ------------- |

They can TEST for excessive amounts, no matter what food you are eating, it's not going to be equal to.. hold up lemme look at my Monster Assault can...ok, 1,000 MG.. there is NO way lol. I guess I do need to try this Propel stuff.. everyone seems to like it. I stopped by the gas-station just now to get my Monster and I asked the guy about the new drink Cocaine (of course) and he thought I was trying to score drugs off him....he didn't speak very good english... then I held up the can and pointed to it and he became less serious.. bad situation... lol ------------- -Tippmann A-5 -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.
