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

They went on to say some of the flavors tasted somewhat unique and refreshing.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

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

    And by hilarious misunderstandings, you mean you go to the bank, and bring your checkbook instead.
