you may have heard me mention it before but I tend I shy away from energy drinks, or caffeinated drinks in general, except for athletic performance usage. I don’t really drink coffee much although I do love coffee ice cream (side note: I got a Ninja Creami fairly recently and my most made flavor has been a decaf mocha, SO good.), I just feel like caffeine affects me a lot, can’t sleep if I have any within like 7 hours of going to bed. which is weird in my middle age as I used to down loads of coffee in my youth, but oh well. I never did try Jolt Cola when it was a thing initially. I suppose that was the original energy drink? well, besides like espresso or something. any the who… I recently found a website that sells only energy drink and they had three root beer ones I had never tried so you will see two more in the coming months. they are all in 16 oz cans and hopefully actually different recipes. I think so.
this promises “energy and nootropics.” now I have no idea what ‘nootropics’ are, let me search that up. oh ok: “natural or synthetic substances that enhance cognitive functions”. so caffeine. yeah.
ok, well, let’s drink this. for something with no sugar this isn’t awful. but it is far from good. it tastes like a mediocre diet root beer or maybe like root beer flavored medicine. that is essentially what it is, a load of other junk thrown together and covered by root beer flavoring. I am definitely not going to finish this as it does not float my boat. the bad part is the aftertaste that hits like a minute later. until that point, it is ok, not yummy, but tolerable. I figure I have drank about half of this can, so 100mg of caffeine, which is a good amount more than the 70 mg or so I drink in two hours of cycling and I am just standing here typing. I will go running soon though so perhaps it will last. but then again it is making me poop so perhaps not soon enough.
