    it works like this. I can stay up to 2 o clock in the night. After that i need something that can keep me awake. so i pop 1 at 2. and it starts to work after 15 mins giving me 30 mins of pure focussing and after that 45 mins more but now just for 50% focuss. so if i really need that allnighter i have to pop 4 .

    It's all about the tall, light-blended java-chip frappacino at Starbux

    Anyone heard of Bomba?



    I've never drank one but I own a few bottles. It looks like a grenade and the pull ring is like a grenade pin. Mine even has Arabic writing on it, for that authentic al qaeda feel.

Where the dreamer and his dream?

    Tried some Bomba last year but i think they might have stopped selling them here now.

    At the moment im pretty much sticking to Teho, a finnish brand.

    I imagine it tastes like Red Bull or most other energy drinks?

    One website that rates energy drinks said the Bomba packaging was in poor taste and disgusting considering how violent the world is at present, and that it could actually get you in a lot of trouble trying to carry one of the darker colored flavors of Bomba through a security checkpoint. They went on to say some of the flavors tasted somewhat unique and refreshing.

    Come on now, you sound like a wuss. They're just playing on the "energy" aspect of their product, like the explosiveness of a bomb, or the lubrication of a can of motor oil (to make the engine run well). Look at that one drink Cocaine. They want you to think you're getting the same high as using drugs. It's marketing. Doesn't mean it tastes bad. It could be the best energy drink you ever had.

    I guess that means that super soakers and nerf guns are also in poor taste and disgusting

    I like to paint my supersoaker black and attach a laser sight, then go to the bank. Leads to hilarious misunderstandings.
