Ugh. I'd rather chug a liter of powerade or water than chug that crap.

Wow... no middle ground here on one of the great burning issues of our age. Yep, it gets the thumbs up from me- drank it in Japan all the time. Sarcasmkills: I'm falling in love w/your avatar....

It tastes almost identical to regular Gatorade, except that the "flavor" is supposed to be replicative of grapefruit, instead of lemon (read the hangul fineprint).

And it tastes more bitter here than it does in Japan. In Japan, they also have a 0 calory kind. Like you care.

I don't know what sounds less appealing: drinking sweat or "2% human water". Stuff tastes good though. I'll have to try the tequilla mixture -- sounds dope.

A fine pick-me-up after a raunchy weekend. However, nothing beats Red Bull from Thailand, apparently not available here.

Red Bull is a western drink, actually.

Cheers,

Calpis - and it's pronounced "kao pees"

Japanese; milky but without milk!

It's originally from Japan. Not quite the same (though similar in philosophy/intent): baccus has (literal) turtle weenie and shell grindings in it. Red Bull is completely animal product free.

First. I like the Sweat. However, I never mistook it for a true sports drink; it's way too sweet. My friend used it to recover from food poisoning so I'll buy the hangover cure bit.

Second. I was gonna bring up Bachus F, et al. in the context of curative results. I've tried it, and some others, to prevent the pain of Satan at
Play in my head and they never worked. Has anyone had a positive result with these, um,..., drinks?

Third. Turtle whatsies? I didn't need to know. I just coulda gone on without that info...
