Gamer Energy Drink Taste Test Challenge: Name That Flavour! Mike vs Jane vs Andy

[@Jambobist]

Localized differentiation and global heterogeneity is the key to complexity. If every pixel on your monitor is fully lit up, then you just have a white screen, and they might as well all be off. If every neuron is firing, then you have a lethal super-seizure, and they might as all well be dead. You need a mix of different behaviours and intensities in different positions- some state other than maximum Entropy- to get anything worthwhile to life.

For once Mike is the dad and Andy and Jane are the unruly children that need to be herded like kittens. Edit. Raspberry flavors come from rectal glands of beavers. It is secreted in the castor glands.

@Merissa J it depends on how it is treated.

Isn't it pretty rare and expensive to use those nowadays? I thought it was out of practice but not positive

[@mintyr9368]

Felix C has it, castoreum (the secretion from a beaver's bum glands) is so difficult and unpleasant to produce it is *incredibly* rarely, if at all, used today. Raspberry flavouring usually comes from raspberry concentrate or imitation chemical compositions :)

[@TopherRocks]

As a hopeless caffeine addict I can provide some answers, especially as a sneak and gfuel drinker, even though this video is over 3 years old. 9:50 Blue Chug Rug gets it's name from a member of Faze Clan called Rug. I do believe G Fuel is renaming any Faze related flavors since their deal has expired and Faze is now associated with a different brand. (now seeing this was called out by chat after Faze Berry) 14:45 RAW Berry is a reference to the old Powerthirst video from the early days of youtube. Go watch it. ~20:00 Sneak's Purple Storm is apparently Vitmo flavored, but I'm an American and that's not real here. 34:30 Sneak just don't dye their powders so they're generally very pale shades. 1:15:12 I've never thought about it before, but the black/green hint is brilliant. Sneak has been super hush about what the flavor of Stealth is. A lot of people say green apple, I personally think it tastes a lot like the Original green monster flavor. 1:22:45 They're all supposed to be used in a shaker cup and Gfuel is especially notorious for settling so it's usually recommended to shake before each sip, but yeah, that last sip is almost always sandy. I'm personally quite fond of Sneak's Strawberry Watermelon

I love both Oxbox and most of the chat having absolutely no idea that "blue" raspberries are an actual fruit that exists. The flavour is supposed to be based on black raspberries, because they have a black/blue colour. It's also just convenient for raspberry to be blue.

My friend, first of all, I work in Cardiology and I commend you for not exciting the electrical conduction system. Especially if you have a lot of premature ventricular contractions, much safer to not risk a possible run or sustained run of ventricular tachycardia. I applaud you. Have they said coffee/soda is ok at least, or did they pretty much shut down any caffeine at all? Obviously, this is all personal and you have no real need to answer. Either way, best of luck my friend.
