A good friend is in town from Australia on business and we decided to get together with some of our old co-workers and have some good food and great Margurita’s at Tommy’s Friday night. Towards the end of the conversation the talk turned to the topic of Julio’s Habenero tequila and how it had very nearly damaged two of my mates permanantly a week or two prior.

Another Irish energy drink from the corner store. According to rumor, this is a favorite amongst the hung-over Irish construction worker crowd. Let’s see how it works out…

Appearance: Comes in a glass bottle (300mL) which is entirely coated in a plastic wrapper. Liquid appears light amber in color.
Flavor: Fairly bland but with a dangerous sort of chemical aftertaste. If I had to guess what spinal fluid tasted like this would be it.
Results: About a half hour after drinking this I had to drink some coffee. Pretty disappointing.

If you are looking for something that will freak you out because it tastes… unnatural, then this is for you. Otherwise let it be.

I have taken to trying out new and exciting energy drinks from the corner store at the end of my block. They have a variety of Scottish and Irish drinks that are just too tempting to pass up. Todays drink hails from Ireland and is called Kick-Start. I’d love to post a url but I can’t find one… hmm… should I be worried?

Appearance: Comes in a clear plastic bottle with pictures of molecules and such on it (500ml). Drink is orange in color.
Flavor: Starts with a strong Pine-Sol flavor which rapidly diminishes into a plastic-ish aftertaste. Overall not bad.
Results: I suddenly seem to have a cold and slight headache. Moderately wired. Will update post as other effects become apparent.
