You probably already know this, but don't drink that Vita500 crap thinking you're getting anything; it's just sugar water.

Aye, lass. Brown bottle, yellow label, 비타500 if I'm doing that right. It's got C at least. It's made by one of the bigger pharmas in Korea. They're pushing it in the states too, only I think our version has Taurine and..I think it's carbonated.

I don't believe any of those tiny sweet and sometimes strange tasting drinks offer any benefit than adding a few calories of quick energy. Maybe some caffiene, guarana, and nicotine is offered as a pick me up. Korea is wonderful with electronics and hardware, but terrible with food and drink.

The nicotine thing has been debunked in a few different threads somewhere around here. The Korean word "니코틴" that people are reading as nicotine actually translates to niacin.

Are you trying to tell me my cigarettes contain 0.70 mg of niacin? Rolling Eyes

I suggest you learn how to read the Hangul alphabet.

Ooooh, you are a real China boy. Korean booze must be very Chinese as I drank Chinese stuff to find it damaged my internal workings due to being unknown unnatural chemical brew so I'll be avoiding those sorts of things in the future as it was so bad these memories are burned into my ROM, rather than just temporarily staying in my RAM. Asia loves cheap low quality, but the bot needs premium qualities as to preserve and conserve health. When I drink some crap, my health bar goes way down and I get too weak to win the game. Wink

EDIT* I must be careful to not end up in the local 'bot buangwon.

It's true. I'm typing this from the hospital now. If only I had taken my vaccines and drank my Vita500 (with soju no less) then I would be ok.

I suggest you do a minor amount of research before you shoot your mouth off:

니코틴산 = niacin
