You're welcome. Superior to red bull btw.

>>8731563
Ok? That's not sold in any stores I've seen and it's $9.25 + shipping for a pack of 6. Which is more expensive than NOS or even Rockstar on sale

Asian stores bruh. Paid $7 for a 6 pack. Careful though, this shit is straight up BHO to weed. Potent stuff.

>>8731578
>straight up BHO to weed

dunno what that means but $7/6pack sounds awesome, I never thought to check the Asian stores

>>8731584
Means the concentrated version of red bull. It's not fizzy. It's good af tho.

>>8731595
is there a fizzy version of it

>>8731699
Yeah it's called redbull bro.

Aldi's has energy drinks for $1 each. The blue can mixes well with vodka.

>>8731559
There was some shit in Lidls a while back, they might still have it where it looked like a red bull can with the blue and silver look but it had like stik figures dancing or something. It might have been in the UK only but it was only like £1

>>8731559
Yes they fucking exist, they're just not labeled "GREAT VALUE ENERGY DRANK", they're usually just oddly named.

At HEB I can get a can of Venom energy drink for like $0.75 per 16oz can, with similar contents to Monster or Rockstar.

Also, where do you live that NOS is a generic energy drink? That's a brand Coca-cola puts out and it's one of my favorites - especially their grape flavor; and they used to have 200mg of caffeine per can vs. 160mg per can, which was a huge bonus.

>>8731574
Those are in family dollar for.. A dollar.
Citrus is alright, rest are shit.

Don't expect energy from it, just pay the extra 50 cents and get amp or pay $3 for caffeine pills.

>>8731707
neat, I'll have to check that out since I live close to a circle k

>>8732108
> they're just not labeled "GREAT VALUE ENERGY DRANK"

I wish they were. Kroger already sells a Mountain Dew generic that has some small amount of caffeine in it for $2/12-12oz cans. I don't see why they couldn't just turn up the dose a little and charge $3 for 12-12oz cans.

>At HEB I can get a can of Venom energy drink for like $0.75 per 16oz can, with similar contents to Monster or Rockstar.

Venom isn't generic but I haven't seen it that cheap

I didn't say it was generic, I said it was cheap. It tastes the worst out of all the energy drinks I've tried. Rockstar tastes better, but not as good as Monster, and has 240mg of caffeine and is not much more expensive than NOS.

>>8732119
lime is good too.

>>8731559
They do, go to your local liquor store

>>8731559
Store brand energy drinks are a thing, though.

>>8731559
Everything besides RedBull and Bullit tastes shit and is too sweet.

And you should drink energy drinks through a straw and drink water after if you want to keep your teeth healthy.

sounds like broscience

>>8732082
Here in germany lidl used to have small bottles, but now its cans called king kong.
I think it costs 30cent

>>8732760
My dentist actually gave the advice for keeping the teeth white and without holes since energy drinks are pretty aggressive for tooth enamel.

>>8732858
What's different about energy drinks compared to other drinks?

>>8732760
>keeping the sugary acid water away from your teeth helps save them

how is that broscience, or even science at all.

more like brocommon sense.

>>8732896
>he thinks a total of 2 seconds of exposure to sweet water is going to ruin his teeth

>>8732902

It's not the "Sweet", it's the acid content. Sodas contain a lot of phosphoric acid, not to mention the carbonation creates carbonic acid as well.

And total 2 seconds? What, are you chugging every soda you drink? If you drink a soda by sipping it there is a lot more than 2 seconds exposure.

>>8732119
This. Also expect the gut rot feeling to be slightly worse than other energy drinks.

>>8732922
>What, are you chugging every soda you drink

yes

>>8732963
Dentists literally tell you to do this so the drink touches your teeth for the least amount of time possible. Well that's what they told me anyways.
I never did make it back there.

>>8732970
I've heard this true. Which creates a sort of paradox. If you're enjoying soda you want to enjoy it because it's so bad for you. It makes no sense to slam down a 200 calorie drink with 40 grams of sugar in 3 seconds. But if you do that it's even worse for you.

>>8733153
why is that worse, the dentists say it's better

>>8733165
Enjoying it is worse.

He should have put that fourth sentence before the third, or at least separated them with a semi-colon instead of a period.

The ingredients in a can of Red Bull cost literally cents. The can is actually quite a bit more expensive than the content due to the unstandardized size and form. It would be cheaper for Red Bull to just fill a common 0,33 can and sell it for the same price. But then they would give up the impression it's some special, concentrated, precious Taytay pussy juice.

You fucking dumbasses.

>>8733208
This. I am retarded when it comes to writing sentences.

>>8731559
Just take a caffeine pill and a super B complex.

Drink a cheap can of soda on top of them if you need the sugar rush.

There, that just cost you 30 cents.

This can be applied to literally any carbonated or acidic drink like juice, cocktails, wine, beer and so on. Yet no one warns against drinking those because of dental issues.

>>8733235
Caffeine pills just hit you with a dose too large all at once, they aren't spaced out like energy drinks can be. I've tried pill-splitting caffeine and that doesn't work either. I wish it did work because caffeine pills are cheap

>>8733265
>This can be applied to literally any carbonated or acidic drink like juice, cocktails, wine, beer and so on.

My dentist gives the exact same cautions about any sort of soda or fruit juice.

Most cocktails, beer, and wine are nowhere near as acidic as a typical soft drink or energy drink.

>>8732872
This

Y'all niggas need to get on that ES

>>8733275
>wine are nowhere near as acidic
lol

>cocktails
are literally juice

>beer
is literally carbonated and literally acidic as a result

>>8733286
Just look it up bro.
https://www.sheltondentistry.com/patient-information/ph-values-common-drinks/

Beer is carbonated, sure, but it doesn't have the additional acid that is added to cola. So it's somewhat acidic but it's not as strong as cola is.

Anyway, I'm not sure what your point is here? That beer and cocktails would be safer to consume through a straw? Yes, that's true.

>>8733271
If you take the pill with red meat, it will take years to digest.

Mouth wash will actually fuck up my teeth in the long run?

Mouth wash is pretty terrible for you, but mostly because it dries your mouth out.

>>8731559
They do here in the UK.

>>8733333
>Mouth wash will actually fuck up my teeth in the long run?

Pros and cons.

Yes, it's acidic. That's bad.

OTOH it kills bacteria, including those which cause tooth decay.

As for which one dominates? I have no idea. The point is that it's not so simple as looking at pH only.

>MUUUUUUHHH ACIDS MUH PEEEE EICH

I want the stealth ketofags to leave.

The do, but are usually regional. Shit like store brands or cheap: Super Shock, Henry's, Snake Eyes, Warrior

The cheapest shit you can find are Rip Its or Venom

>>8731559
Weve got some energy drink in our town called SURGE!!
Its allright and a buck a can.

>>8733386
Isn't that just a soda with more sugar in it? I don't think i'd consider it an energy drink. That all said where the fuck can you still find surge?

>what is booster

>>8733417

No, it had about the same sugar as most sodas. Ditto for the caffeine content; that was on the higher end of most sodas, but not as much as you'd find in an "energy drink". Surge was simply a product that was meant to compete with Mountain Dew. It's sugar and caffeine content was about the same.

I live in a town in the USA where the drinking water is sometimes unfit for human consumption and must be boiled first or you're fucked.
It's like a damn 3rd world country right in the heart of the USA and it's not detroit thank christ. We die here from drug overdoses or drinking water not niggering.
All that being said. My town does sell Surge.

>>8731571
the rumor in school was it burned your throat on the way down. The shady cellphone kiosk run by arabs in the mall used to sell it, but I was afraid to buy a consumable from them

>>8731559

Why do the generic energy drinks never taste as good as Red Bull? Looking at the ingredients they are the same.

It's not placebo either. Red bull has a more soft fruity taste while the generics are very harsh in their sourness.

Any explanations?

>>8733568
>Any explanations?

Sure. The proportions of the ingredients used.

>>8733568
The placebo effect has won you over so hard you don't even know it.
You may as well bend over now and embrace the fucking that the placebo effect will dish you out over the years.
As placebo effects dick slides in and out of you, you begin to realize that this dick feels pretty similar but... Somehow different. and its NOT the placebo effect.
Weak minded bastard.

You have shit taste. They are all roughly the same. Effect used to be the best until they started using dairy water. Now booster is where it's at.

What town

i wonder how many of the people who pound energy drinks daily realize that's not the caffeine but the 80g+ of sugar

>>8734045
But they make several sugar-free energy drinks.

>>8731559
Maybe its just a euro thing but i bought 24 of those badboys for 6€. Tastes like redbull

>>8731559

>>8734726
Romania.

>>8734045
caffeine is the only ingredient in those drinks that are objectively a stimulant.

the rest is just a placebo effect. a cup of coffee with the same caffeine content will give you just as much 'energy' as a energy drink.

>>8735535
this is correct.

Nigga theres cheap energy drinks everywhere. WE HAVE SODA MACHINES THAT DISPENSE ENERGY DRINKS OR HAVE ENERGY SHOTS


FUCK WISCONSIN FLYOVER HELL KILL ME

>>8734717
Ye the can is dank. It's the store brand of Edeka Group operating Edeka, Marktkauf and Netto markets in Germany and Denmark. Cheap as fuck and right up there with the more expensive brands.

>>8736315
What does that have to do with Wisconsin

>>8731559
I do sips every day

fellow Americans, I recommend you check Big Lots. The one in my fairly small town has dozens of brands. In 2014 I bought one of each kind and drank them while watching the world cup. They ranged from tolerable to quite tasty, with the exception of a 25 cent can with a windmill on it that was unabashedly horrid. So avoid that if they still sell it (which I highly doubt).
