Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yeah. Energy drinks are fucking scams.

No wonder people who actually need energy don't use them while those who sit on their ass all day do.

The thing is that they taste good. But there is no justification for their price tag( coca cola and pepsi sodas actually fall in the same bucket,quite good but why would you buy them for that price,especialy since it costs them next to nothing to make ).

As far as I can tell, the difference between the brand colas and the non-brand ones, is that the brand ones don't destroy my guts. 2 cups of the cheaper colas and I'm shitting liquid for a week.

I take it you've never been anywhere near a military base or construction site

The best workers are hydrating with good ol' water.

The kids are drinking 'energy' drinks.
