@regehr I cannot have it, half a can of it triggers my caffeine sensitivity faster than 3 cups of coffee

@regehr @dev Red Bull/Vodka for life (I say as someone who stopped drinking in my 20s). Red Bull is a bit of an acquired taste but it's still better than most energy drink flavors which all seem to taste like radioactive goo for some reason.

@pervognsen @regehr @dev “better than most energy drink flavors” is just a lame version of “best bone to break.”

@regehr @steve @pervognsen @dev The bad flavour is part of the appeal! I will try any energy drink once.

@regehr @steve @dev I may be the victim of marketing since Red Bull was illegal to sell in Denmark for a time and a bunch of deaths were attributed (probably misattributed) to combining alcohol and Red Bull. Which when you're a teenager makes it more attractive, obviously. We had to buy it over the border in Germany, along with military-grade fireworks and canned beverages in general (which were illegal to sell in Denmark until a viable recycling strategy for cans was developed).

@pervognsen @regehr @steve

They feed us poison (red bull)
So we buy their “cures” (jäger bombs)
while they suppress our medicine (four loko)

@pervognsen @regehr @steve @dev the city of Chicago would send the average Dane into a coma. Instead of a proper recycling plan they just bought blue bins.

@regehr @dev I tried the Shaq sour gummies and thought they were kinda gross.

@regehr @dev oh there's still a half-empty bag of them in the pantry. My kids didn't even finish them.

@tedmielczarek @dev what do they taste like?
Show threadTed MielczarekFeb 12
@regehr @dev just aggressively sour

@tedmielczarek @dev oh then I'm not into it, anything coated in citric acid makes my mouth want to bleed
