It's all fun and games until someone's troponin levels start spiking.

Sorry, I'm European. We drink coffee over here.

That's a weird way to spell red bull

I remember when these were called Ultra White.

Which they were wise to change before they became the official energy drink of white supremacism 😬😄

I can't drink monster anymore because it's american :(((

RedBull is European/Austrian and the (more) original thing anyway

And if you're fed up with energy drinks, Austrian innovation still got you covered ;⁠-⁠)

This is an energy sniff - and I'd actually love to see people going round taking sniffs/lines, just because it would disturb the picture of what is regarded normal ;⁠-⁠)

Still, use with caution, as obviously your nasal mucuos stuff won't be happy about it after some time.
But it works quite well and I can work around my upset stomach - but as said, not a thing for every day

Red Bull is also owned by a (wannabe) fascist: https://news.artnet.com/art-world-archives/why-you-should-care-about-red-bull-ceos-politics-930968

But earlier this month, he harshly criticized Germany and Austria’s policies towards refugees in a rare interview with the regional Austrian paper Kleine Zeitung on April 8. The reclusive billionaire also expressed his support for Donald Trump and announced plans for his new media venture, Näher an die Wahrheit (Closer to the Truth), an initiative that he described as a “research platform” with a mission to “tell the truth.”

Those taste like metal and are trying to buy Austrian and German football, though.

I usually just go with the sugar free local store brand, which is MUCH cheaper, tastes better, has just as much caffeine, taurine etc, and is produced in a country with better regulations (Denmark).

It's always just overpriced sugar water with caffeine and some stuff like taurin, vit b and so on

It's never really good for one anyway, but yeah, drink whatever tastes ok for you and works good enough

I've gone though some store brands, but I'm always coming back to the classic RedBull.
Monster never really was my taste - but because of that, I also didn't try that much different ones.

At the moment, I'm more happy with an occasional energy sniff and just a coke or water

I tend to go with the sugar free version unless I'm looking for a boost while burning 1000+ calories on my exercise bike, but yeah, you're otherwise right heh

Snortable energy powder that's not cocaine?

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 1 points 16 hours ago

You can read more about the contents on the linked homepage, but it's pretty much just caffeine and some other stuff, that should help (and they funnily enough claim everything from natural sources)

In my youth we just snorted caffeine pills, which work well enough

Cocaine isn't really good for long term concentration.
Amphetamines would be better for that.

But... Let's stay on topic o⁠:⁠-⁠)

[–] 666dollarfootlong@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Yea i've been getting redbulls, i like that they have many new flavors these days

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 points 16 hours ago

Guya tea is also american. South american.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 23 hours ago

Follow your heart, drink the 10th can of monster today. Consume 1500mg of caffeine.
