    I bought a can of something called SoBe Pure Rush Guanabana as I needed a little pick-me-up this morning, and I'm just about to have at it at the time of writing this. It opened with a very satisfying 'pop' and slight plume of smoke. It's giving of a smell that's vaguely chemical but hints at fruits ... propbably synthetic. Ah goodness! The taste is also vaguely chemical, though not unpleasant - there's no lingering aftertaste which you get from the likes of battery and probably that nasty Jolt you guys tested. It also sports a leaf printed on the can with a message declaring "With natural ingredients". Oh wait... I just noticed something, there's a more elaborate message printed on the can as well;

    "SoBe Pure Rush is a revolutionary new energy drink! It has been developed using nature's own, pure ingredients. SoBe Pure Rush contains sea buckthorn berries and ginseng root extracts from the cool climate of North East Asia, yerba mate from the South American grasslands, and guarana berries found in the South American rain forest. Flavoured with the exotic great tasting guanabana fruit, used as a dessert in Mexico, SoBe Pure Rush gives you great tasting energy to seize the day!"

    Well that's that then! You guys have to include it in your test, and if you can't find them over there I'm willing to ship one over myself (in the interest of science of course). :D

    This looks suitably dangerous .... http://www.5hourenergy.com/5hrextrastrength.asp


    Would love to get my hands on some ***** though...

    We have had relentless over here for about a year now, it's nice.

    My favourite energy drink for taste is Cocaine, It has a spicy taste, I love it, have dared people to scull it too, quite difficult due to the spicyness. It also has the benifit of having relatively little sugar compared to other drinks.

    Also Dew is pronounced Due, do is just lazy, it has a w on the end, pronounce it.

    Rockstar JUICED (the orange can) is hands-down the best energy drink to my tongue. Not too sweet, 70% juice, and it's mango/orange/passionfruit combination makes it taste a lot like some tropical drink from the islands.

    well if you want energy but health just look for drinks that have high levels of B vitamins in particular B12, thats where you will get most of your boost from at least thats what I have been told/read.

    Hmmm, looks like I'd have to down 116.45 cans of Relentless to snuff it.

    LD50 of Caffeine is 192mg/kg. That's the Lethal dose to kill 50% of subjects. 1 can of relentless is 160mg. Drinking 4 pack of relentless puts you at 640mg of caffeine.....Which is actually stupidly high. If you drank about 6 cans of Relentless you'd be towards the point of caffeine poisoning and start experiencing very unpleasant symptoms such as nausea, headaches and vomiting!

    No wonder it's illegal in france, probably explains the problems we have with our youth here in the U.K. :D

    Voltz Energy Shot

    What about Energy Shots? These are a new style of energy drink, i find Voltz Energy Shot to be best. They have like 2 calories and no sugar, they're not usually carbonated so you don't get that fizzy drink tummy ache, and at 60ml they're really small and convenient. I don't like the test of most energy drinks but this Voltz one is a sweet, berry flavour.
