Do you have a fav. Rockstar Paul?? I tried a freebie the nice lady gave me one morning... I did'nt really like the taste, but I got spoiled by Full Throttle- I cant bring myself to buy Jeff Gordon's for some reason-

I've tried most of the old school drinks- Bottomline, I really don't find that they make much of a difference in my performance anymore- Coca-Cola Classic works as well for me-

Now Redline is a whole different story in the world of energy!!
The standard black can works for me Ray, the one that matches Toliver's car.
To me it is similar to Red Bull, so it may not be what you are after.

I have also tried Citrus and also the sugar free version, but I am not a fan of any drinks that have artificial sweetener, something about the synthetic taste doesn't sit well with me.

As for Redline... I read some articles on that stuff and don't think I would even consider trying it.... it sounds pretty dangerous/scary when you read some of the consumer reviews around on it.

Re: Favorite Energy Drink?

Red Bull is my fav energy drink, I think Im addicted, I get that from my drained bank account I cant seem to find a large canned drink to my liking, which would be more worth the cost. My favorite hydrater is Rain Lime.
My favorite nite cap is an icy cold Cuba Libre

Karl- I would think you would drink your coffee 'neat'
Boss, the only thing I drink Neat is Booker Beam, well maybe Baker once in a while... Kiln Creek's Okay....

and it's the MASSIVE amount of Coffee and Sugar I drink every day that keeps me operating... if not, I'm kinda like a fuel car that's pitched the rubber band....

Re: Favorite Energy Drink?

Powerade is not an Energy drink it is classified as a isotonic beverage. I never had an energy drink before I tried Monster at the beginning of the year and now I buy Monster by the case from Sam's Club.

Re: Favorite Energy Drink?

MonsterVodka or Full Throttle & Vodka are much better (again, personally) than RBV. That is just my taste and a few friends though.

Re: Favorite Energy Drink?

I am in retail and for a long time, redbull was my #1 seller by far.
Monster has taken over that spot now however.

Been trying to get rockstar going, but the so far without success as there isn't much support from the local coca-cola sales rep.

-I only drink water. When feeling adventurous, I'll have an Arizona green tea.
When feeling wild and crazy, a powerade!

Paul Miller-

That is what I 'did' when full throttle fury (orange/red) came out- If you wanted it in my area, you had to go through me- And your chance would have been very slim-

Karl Stalcup-

and it's the MASSIVE amount of Coffee and Sugar I drink every day that keeps me operating... if not, I'm kinda like a fuel car that's pitched the rubber band....

So you putt around sounding like an A/FUEL car-

Paul Rogers Jr-

As for Redline... I read some articles on that stuff and don't think I would even consider trying it.... it sounds pretty dangerous/scary when you read some of the consumer reviews around on it.

How this stuff is sold legally, is beyond me-
Conform to all the fine print on this one- WARNING!!

Me-

And on a side note-
These 'new' 5 hour bottles of go juice that are being advertised in this area which leads to no crash- I bought out every walgreens in my area of this stuff 2 years ago, and then started getting it direct from 'chaser' the manufacturer by the case, it seemed to work at first- But hense me buying it by the case- I bought 3 bottles the other morning and had the shakes like drinking Redline for more than a few hours- good thing I was sanding my truck- How I ever airbrushed while on this, is also beyond me-

Everything in moderation as Doc says-
But anyone with a heart condition should stay away from more than a few of these!! < That's no joke!!-

Someone needs to show me how to cut and paste-
What a mess- sorry!!
I'll have someone clean this up later- C-YA!!

Re: Favorite Energy Drink?

yeah I know Powerade is not an enregy drink but the Doc goes nuts when i even think about it....

As for a real energy drink i guess I am old school as I prefer JOLT!
[twice the sugar and all the caffeine.]

Re: Favorite Energy Drink?

Actually, my fav energy drink is the "Rip It" brand availavle at my local Wal Mart, made by the same company that makes Shasta soda. My favorite flavor is Lime Wrecker, which is billed as the only margarita flavored energy drink. It's gooood!!!

Rip It Energy Fuel

Re: Favorite Energy Drink?

Used to drink Red Bull and OJ in the morning...."race day breakfast"...

Now it's Monster and OJ. Same price for 4 cans....twice the "juice". We can slpit one can between us...fill up the rest of the cup with OJ....and we're ready to rock!!!

One a day though.........is enough!

I'm just lazy and don't feel like making coffee in the morning....just for me. Noone else on the team drinks it...so we switched to the "new" breakfast of.....champions...............
