Unless mixed with vodka or Jagermeister, you would be hard pressed to find me consuming an energy drink. Today I was given a Monster Energy drink, and after feeling a little on the low side of the energy scale a short while ago I decided to try it out. So far I've had about two swigs and it has persuaded me to start this blog post. Essentially the first things that come to mind are cough syrup and bubble gum. It also has this terrible aftertaste that reminds me of some horrid candy I likely decided to hate as a child and haven't had since.
I keep drinking more as I write, first because I was tired, but also because I want to write more about it. It is mostly wretched but if it was really that bad wouldn't I have thrown it out by now? I used to work with a guy who bought pallets of this stuff and drank at minimum two a day, he reminded me a little of Patrick Bateman. I've had Red Bull before and at least that seems somewhat digestible.
Ok, it's at this time in my writing that I've decided to not have anymore of this, with it still being at least 85% full. Never again Robert.
