[@codymarsh7580]

Yes absolutely

[@popeoftea]

Red 40 is made from coal tar, benzyne and toluene. Then it's added to salt. So it would taste like salty water.

[@CEmanified]

@ThePope Of the Church of Tea Not necessarily, some versions of Red40 are made with a calcium or Potassium salt. Sodium chloride is the saltiest tasting g of the salts. Potassium and Calcium salts may also taste salty but probably not enough to be noticeable in that concentration(especially not next to Dasani). Red40 is known to have a bitter taste that may be noticeable. I just wonder if Linus will be able to pick it out as the flavor he hates.

That and gfuel powder is a lot better flavor-wise. It is an icy cold take of mine that gfuel should stop making carbonated canned drinks and just do pre-mixed powder in bottles. While the powder settles and would need a shake, the carbonation adds a "powdery" taste and texture that's just blech. Ligdonberry is probably the best flavor though.

In my opinion those plastic tops on the mountain dew cans are actually pretty genius. They reseal well enough to keep their carbonation so you can throw half a can into the fridge overnight. The only thing I have noticed is a tendency to spurt when you crack it open on the back.

[@ThermiteKitty]

Agreed, for the ridiculous price of the liquid, I always hated that energy drinks mainly came in cans and not easily resealable bottles. The slide tabs are a nice compromise.

If you think you don't consume caffeine but you drink tea depending on the leaf, brew strength, etc you're getting about 20-50+ mg of caffeine in that drink, around quarter a an of Monster or a about a single shot of espresso.

[@big-gloom]

​@oliverdurgen5953 nah a lot of people don't seem to be aware of much caffeine their tea has

[@supremebuffalo6322]

No...this is one of those 'well actually' things that isn't accurate...I had to do a study unit on this (caffeine vs theobromine absorption) in college; Tea is about 50mg caffeine, yes. BUT it also contains Theobromine which binds to the same receptors as Caffeine (and therefore blocks some of the Caffeine's total absorption) Coffee contains MUCH less Theobromine but more Caffeine. So the difference of Caffeine between Tea and Coffee is more complicated than simply comparing Tea's caffeine content to Coffee's. The drugs also have different elimination half-lives in the bloodstream (Caff is slightly less than Theo IIRC) which adds a few other variables too P.S a quick google says that a shot of espresso is about 200mg caffeine, which makes a cup of tea about equivalent to 1/4 of an espresso, not quite an _entire_ shot. plus all the Theobromine stuff on top of that et cetera You get the idea.

[@Mini-z1994]

Only tried two so far x-gamer because they are based in Sweden thus shipping bullshit is skipped for the most part. The bundle i bought was really cheap on sale like 19$ with 20 packets of flavors & a shaker. (some were 2 of the same packet ofc.) (Shaker i stopped using though as the flavors has kind of stuck too the plastic of it so it smells of like 5 different flavours now, which is just how the plastic itself is, think its called bpa ? I'll probably need too do it similar too how you clean protein shakers with hotwater & bit of vinegar & baking soda mixed into the shaker & leaving for like 30 minutes too break that down but eh i got soda bottles i can use for now.) It's been lasting a bit over a month though drinking one every few days. Otherwise I've only had the free samples from gamersupps, which were good for being free, waited with ordering until i got the free shipping code. paying 10$ for those packets i felt was a bit much too try it out. 1st place for Blue Razz from Gamersupps after you let it sit for like a day or so in the fridge, 2nd being the mango meta i think it was called & third the dragonfruit punch, dragonfruit one is a bit overly sweet for my taste. X-gamers offers I'd go Sakurafuri & sour cherry twist taking 1st place. I like cherry flavored stuff in general & rarely get or buy it so ofc it's at the top. 2nd place Horus & nightshade 3rd shared with Steves Apple & Ginger Queen. 4th is kind of shared between Dark Rush, which again their raspberry isn't great, liquorice is there but bit meh personally, i like salty liquorice more then the sweet kind, but acceptable too drink while eating some. & cape town (swiss roll flavour, which fits well with most chocolates like a kitkat or similar wafer chocolate bar, wouldn't rank it great for drinking while eating breakfast heh.) Worst I'd say blue nitro (Blue razz knockoff but a bit more bland overly sweet taste, maybe i need too mix it stronger with less water on this one, i can at least finish it off over like 1 hour or so at least.) gummilicious (Supposed too be gummybear flavored.) But it just reminded me of like some variants of childrens toothpaste which is a bizarre flavor too drink as you can imagine. Got one packet left which I'll try mixing a bit stronger too see if that helps it anything, otherwise it's just getting poured out into the sink.

Kind of went into it with a bit questionable expectations, like i wouldn't buy it again if i only like 2 of these flavours & the rest of the packets are garbage I'd rather pour down the sink. Sakurafuri, sour cherry twist, horus, nightshade, capetown, ginger queen & steves apple, dark rush.

But this study brought nothing to the table as we had a "control", like one energy 3 times per taste test and almost exclusively they were rated differently.
