/hijack/In my quest for finding caffeine beverages to help me stay awake on my grave shift stints, I learned Pepsi One is even more extreme:

Pepsi One has more than regular Pepsi?

Weird.

Ezdno · 2006-02-11, 09:07 PM

On a scale of 1 - 10 with 10 being totally extreme...and 1 being totally not extreme..Pepsi One is a 1, Drink Tea! Good Old fashioned oolong or lipton I worked the 6pm to 6am shift for almost 7 yrs.....its the lifeblood of the nightstalkers.

Instead of caffeine drinks, I found that Sobe Adrenalines worked well for me. Kinda sugary, but they have tons of B vitamins, so you feel energized, but no caffeine jitters, headaches, or caffeine/sugar letdowns after they wear off. They taste decent for an energy drink too. Kinda tart but not like Red Bull.

Nick Koan · 2006-02-11, 09:31 PM

Er, hate to burst your bubble, but Sobe Adrenaline has 79 mg of caffiene in 8.3oz.

But, I do know what you mean. It usually has the positive effects of caffiene without as much of the negatives.

Kevin M · 2006-02-11, 09:34 PM

The massive amounts of soda I drink every day probably makes me immune to, or at least unaware of, the effects of the caffeine in the Sobes.

But yeah... they rule.

+1 for tea. With as often as you'll have to run for the restroom, there's no chance of falling asleep on the job.

Drinking gallons of carbonated drinks all night just makes me sick to my stomach.

I was surprised to see that hot chocolate contains caffeine, and that Coke contains (relatively) so little.

cody · 2006-02-12, 02:57 AM

I like Rockstar. They're like Tallboys.

Scott, Maybe you need to learn the difference between then and than. 'Than' was the proper word to use, as it is used to compare and contrast two differing but similar objects. 'Then' is used in a sequential description of events (which I did not do).

Honestly, though, I don't remember what I typed. If I typed 'then' and you pointed it out without correcting me. Then, of course, I eat my words.

Joeyy · 2006-02-12, 11:40 AM

Red Bull in the 4 pack is the ticket for me!..

JonnydaJibba · 2006-02-12, 12:36 PM

Red Bull is too expensive I think, but it's good. I like Rockstars or NOS because I'm hella 2fast2furious.

Haha, I was thinking that as I was typing it. I just couldn't understand why you'd make it big without correcting it.

I'd rather humiliate you by enlarging your mistakes, than fix 'em.

You're killing me smalls.
I stay away from Rockstars and all energy drinks. I had a small addiction to Rockstars some of you may remember the post I made a long time ago about drinking 7 Rockstars in a 6 hour period.

Kevin M · 2006-02-12, 09:42 PM

So you finally went to sleep what, like last night? :shock:

It was Bob, wasn't it, with the 27-hour nap? Now we know what causes that ...

renoguy20 · 2006-02-12, 10:01 PM

Rockstar is the only energy drink for me. I also found out that at Costco one can purchase a case of 24 with cost per can at $0.78 instead of the usual $2.49 from 711.

sp00ln · 2006-02-12, 11:47 PM

I didn't know Ketchup was a Chinese word... crazy. Everything comes from China.
