simply cola

This got into my hands at an opurtune moment. I was walking with a co-worker when two little red bull street team kids with their red bull fanny packs i.e. backpacks came walking down the street. we smiled and they gave us a few cans. this isnt a red bull drink that tastes like cola its an all natural cola from red bull. its got a bunch of stuff in it like pine, cardomon, kola nut and tears of the young. its not bad but it tastes like tab or RC cola. so its kinda a throwback to the mid eighties. it would be equivalent to me getting the directors cut dvd of tron or something. yay red bull finally taking that leap into 1984. i really wanted the street team kids backpacks so i could wear it to work looking like a misplaced japanese 8th grader....junior high mustache and all

good ol ohio hurricane

So we went up to Clintonville for a BBQ during the storm and watched the burb get destroyed. of course after several beers we thought the wise thing to do was to go for a walk in the middle of the storm and take pics while avoiding falling trees and animals and stuff. then there was a guy dressed up like a fish....sweet. he was getting his picture taken for an album cover for his friends band. so i jumped in and got a few pics. i think im sitting on his spawning sac.




i felt bad for this dude over on piedmont ave. he was driving home and a tree uprooted and nailed him while he was driving....crazy. hes ok he walked home and left his truck you know under a tree for safe keeping.

CRUNK!!!

SKEET SKEET SKEET MOFOS! Crunk is the shizz, its tastes pretty good (but gets old fast) and its got ashwaganda in it. Ashwagandha is reported to have anti-carcinogenic effects in animal and cell cultures by decreasing the expression of nuclear factor-kappaB, suppressing intercellular tumor necrosis factor, and potentiating apoptotic signalling in cancerous cell lines. I know Lil. John really researched his product before putting it out on the market and im proud of him for that. He is keeping Crunk alive and well by feeding the mind and the body of all those in the Crunk community. I think Ashwaganda is sanskrit for boner jams or something. Hell to be honest if lil john was peddling hemorrhoid cushions id be buying them.

Riot Control

Crimony this beast is huge, i think its like 4 servings per can. Its supposed to be apple but anytime and energy drink picks a flavor it sort of just tastes like said flavor and robitusin. The can is cool with the concert scene. I'm showing the side of the can with the devil horns cuz they rule. i dont plan on drinking another one but i will use it for crowd control during the next campus riots. shake this baby up and let her fly into a crowd of unsuspecting students. watch them wail and moan with shards of the can buried into their asses. I think the UN calls this can the "Peacekeeper"

Mas lucha

Look at these two gems geared at latinos. The first one is packed with the power of clams. I didnt know that latinos had a thing for clam juice. As scary as this drink sounds it wasnt bad. It just tasted like tomato juice, i wouldnt drink this on a regular basis but i would make some bloody marys out of it. The can is sweet with the bolts and the mexican wrestlers on the corners. The next one is the Everlast Latino explosion tropical. Again im confused for a few reasons. First off everlast makes energy drinks? I thought they made boxing and athletic gear, jesus everyone and I mean everyone is making energy drinks. I'm sure that Enron will make an energy drink that tastes like corporate crime or BP will make one that tastes like 4$ a gallon. Yes I said tastes like 4$ a gallon. The weather channel will make a tropical storm Ike drink etc etc etc. anyhoo back to everlast. it tasted fine just like hawaiian punch and thats about it. Im keeping my eyes open for other latino energy drinks. I think it would be cool if they did a virgin mary drink or a low-rider drink....any takers?

classic jolt vs. new jolt

Ah yes many of you remember the classic jolt cola. extra sugar with twice the caffeine. well now they have expanded their empire to include the energy drink market. first off these cans are huge they are the 40's of energy drinks. i think they are 3 servings per can and they come with warnings too. they taste ok, no too medicinal. but a weird side effect is that they blow you out. so if you are constipated drink a can and youll be stamping out a turd in no time. you'll have a nice loose bowel movement, or LBM as we call it in the industry. this drink will most definitly get one going in the tumbler.

The Freedom fightin drink

Yes! Finally someone made a patriotic energy drink phew! I was getting worried that the energy drink market was neglecting the patriotic, god fearing, meat eating, gun shootin demographic. to be honest this stuff actually tastes good. hell i slammed half the can put on my carhart outfit and cammo hat went out and shot myself a deer and a border jumper. god i could feel the freedom running through my veins. i almost enlisted.....almost. i love freedom have i mentioned that? i might finish off the other half of the can go home slap my wife and kick my dog. the other good thing about this beverage is that it opened up my awareness to bald eagles. apparently there arent many left, i better stop shooting them and eating them. ill move on to spotted owl or snow tigers instead.

180

weeeeeeee! this can has the lable right side up and then upside down on the other side! weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

my collection

Ive been asked to put up a pick of my collection. most of these have been drank by me while some by others. It doesnt look like much but i have 97 cans in my collection right now. The pic doesnt include my new collection of coffee energy drinks. ive had 4 different brands and several different flavors, 10 cans total. All of them have been great so far...relatively speaking.

monkeys are funny

This can is pretty cool, its an old timey looking elixir/tonic/snake oil/ cure all can. i like the kitsch design, then again i like kitsch in general. the cola tastes like cola and the elixir tastes like redbull. the best part is the monkey at the bottom of the can that starts off like a tired gentleman monkey, then he drinks it then he starts a howling....then throwing his poop would be my guess.

Bawls

Bawls....what else can i say. The names says it all. Unleash the power of Bawls. Feel the power of Bawls in your mouth. Bawls energy drink, youll have to wear a cod piece while drinking this one. i can go on and on. the bottle is cool, its a pop off. the drink is ok, ive had several types and my fav. is the cola. the first time i had bawls it gave me gas, the second time i had bawls i had a few new chest hairs.

Why do all engery juice drinks suck

Next up is ACE. kudos on the can design a total nod to pinup girls and WWII air fighters. the cans are slick the girls are hot but the drinks suck. the regular energy drink tastes pretty canned, no pun intended, and isnt anything to write home about then they also have the juice engergy drink.



Again the can is pretty rad but this one really sucks. why is it so hard to make a juice energy drink. this will start my poop storm of a continual rant about how bad energy juice drinks are. they are all a blend of juices, like apple, orange, lemon, grapfruit,tangerine, pear, shame, badger, e.coli and of course polio. seriously stick to one juice, oh i dont know say a popular one with the kids these days seems to be orange add some vitamins, caffeine and all the other E-drink B.S. and call it a day. they have a third can, see below, havent had it yet but i dont have high hopes due to the fact that most lo-carb/sugar e-drinks taste like a chemistry final. If i find this one i still plan on buying just because itll complete the set and the can is cool.

One for the Pride parade

O.k. back to energy drinks. Ahhh tab the classic retro cola now buying into the energry drink market. Well this one is actually tasty, sort of a light berry flavor. I think this is one of the few energy drinks that actually tastes good and most people would enjoy. Seeing as 90% of these drinks taste like butts.
The only problem with this one is that while drinking it and holding this pink rocket in my hand I feel like I should be wearing a fanny pack and punching dudes in the cock with my mouth.

Some pics i like and other things

this is a great movie documenting the hardcore punk scene in the u.s. It focuses on a few cities one of them being DC whose scene i love and grew up listening too. this movie is great even if you arent into punk, it shows a good objective view on the scene back in the day...which was a wednesday...sorry i had to:)
speaking of the DC scene I recently learned that my wife was friends with weef (john weifenbach) the singer of void! sweet, she saw him in the documentary being a spazz on stage and says "hey that looks like my old friend weef from DC". well we checked into it and it sure was. peep out the spazz below



here is a pic from the movie american hardcore that i like and also one of my fav. skate and punk photographers glen e. feidman. people always remember him for his skate and pics from shows and that great border he has on a lot of his shots but he also is a good scenic photographer in general, i.e. the clouds pic....i like clouds they make me happy. word to your motha go outside and look up. sort of like stopping to smell the roses.

this is gross but funny

this vid is super stupid and funny at the same time. something about dogs humping makes me laugh every time....i guess really anything humping makes me laugh. make sure to watch the whole thing its got oscar buzz written all over it.

I think this one is for strippers

I found this gem at the sunoco on parsons by marion village. Check out that winning can, lips n mango...thats what I call wednesday nights. Ya these guys make blunt rolls too and now they have decided to branch out into the world of energy drinks. Up next on their agenda a childrens non-profit perhaps? It tasted ok kinda like redbull and fake mango juice put together. I bet it would make for a tasty mixer tho. I think i saw one of the strippers at the bachelor party I went to this weekend drinking one of these. I could tell they were strippers because they smelled like cocoa butter and GED's

The liquid experience

I found this one in my local drive through that i frequent in German Village. Jimmy Hendrix the liquid experience named after his album of course. Not bad tasting, sort of a light berry didnt really wake me up or anything but pleasant none the less. The Can is pretty cool looking in a non threatening psychedelic sort of way. I did set my guitar on fire after drinking it though...weird. Apparently this drink is getting people upset because jimmy has been dead for 35 years but they are using his image to market energy drinks. Strange, no one said anything about the hendrix vodka they are selling....hmmmmmm.

Amor y Lucha

I was excited to get this can. A friend of mine gave it to me and I was ready to rip into it. Caballo Negro i.e. Black Horse, all I said when I got it was "yes".

Look at it, it's got the mexican flag on it with a stallion surrounded by barbed wire ready to kick ass and take names. I pop this bad boy open took a swig and said "WTF!". This stuff is so gross, it tastes like an energy drink made in the sewers of mexico. I drank about a quarter of the can and dumped the rest. The stuff is a light brown color and smells bad and tastes even worse. The secret ingredients are "una de gato" translation "cats nail" which is an antioxidant. The other ingredient "horny goat weed" translation "horny goat weed" which is a sexual stimulant. Sweet, nothing beats getting a boner with a caffeine buzz.

The zen of steve

This one made me laugh my ass off. OK so Steven Seagal has an energry drink and its called Lightning Bolt. It comes in two flavors "Asian Experience" not sure what flavor this is and "Cherry Charge" self explanitory. I like the can and its nod to chi and how Steven's mug is at the bottom of the can. he looks sort of swarthy or maybe he just sat on his keys or something. The only one of these ive tried is the asian experience and it tasted like brown. It was not asian nor an expierence at all, i didnt even finish the can...gross. The secret ingredient is asian cordyceps which sounds like a made up muscle group. As in...

Zan:"hey man you grunt when you get your swell on?"

Chazz:"totally brah, especially on tuesdays when i wail on my cordyceps"

Zan:"sweet, get in the zone brah"

2-Pac lives on

Next up is the 2pac edition of Hunid Racks. I think they did a good job picking out this hip hop legend/hero/scholar/bandana wearer to put on the can. I like how instead of the "thug life" tattoo 2pac sports on his stomach they now superimposed the hunid racks logo. This stuff rules, it tastes like carbonated purple stuff and as soon as I dump this stuff into my head my pants start saggin, spinners start spinnin and i start slappin bitches and layin down rhymes as if sug knight was payin me.

the energy drink fo real husltas.

Tastes so good straight from the hood

This is the drink that started it all. It was found in a bodega in linwood and at first it was a mystery wrapped in a mystery that was as mysterious as two mysteries. First off let me explain the name Hunid Racks which stands for One Hundred Racks. A rack in da hood is equivalent to 1000 dollars. So one hundred racks is one hundred thousand dollars, which happens to be the metric in da hood to see if you have officially made it out of da hood. Once you have amassed a hunid racks you are hood free. Onto the drink itself, It's pretty badass or B.A. for short. Its really sweet and tastes like blue-raspberry and adds a spring to your step or a gat to your pants. I recommend it and as the can says drink one can fo yo daily hustle, drink two cans get yo hustle on.
