energy drinks

Are there enough waters and energy soda's on the market? SOoo many diverse 'energy drinks' to choose from. They would be smart to sponsor more bike teams. (haha) We love energy drinks! I"m not a big soda drinker, but I'll toss back a Gatorade or Power Ade on a hot day during a long ride. My fave drink is Ultra Fuel from GNC and I nearly had a panic when they stopped making it. Fortunately its back. I just wish they'd make one that was just 'pure- no dyes'.

THe big dogs in this industry tell us they hope sales will be toppin' 39 billion dollars by 2010.

Fun sight . http://bevnet.com/

The names of the energy drinks are pretty diverse. But ....wow...they have alcoholic energy drinks!

ALCOHOLIC ENERGY DRINKS?? Alcohol makes me sleepy. I dont think I''d get energy from this one to do much of anything ....

I don't want to say the name of this one.

non alcoholic: "Howling Monkey' . One of the hidden ingredients is said to be Quinine.

That is nice if you are going to be racing a stage race where there could be a threat of malaria.

Maybe someone can make a Tamiflu soda?? To avoid the rising bird flu epidemic. There you go. maybe call it 'flueless' .

This one is nice. The 'spiritual water' called Balance. Which has a nice plan of raising your spirits while you drink the water with uplifting words on the bottle. Nothing wrong with that! It would be useful in case of a Vampire Attack, too!

I think FEMA should get cases of this one to hand out in the next crisis.

How about this! REAL NEW YORK WATER

Real New York Water was rated "most desirable" in a blind taste test conducted by Time Out New York Magazine. Enjoy!

This one interests me a bit. It claims to be an all-natural recipe which can actually restore the lost nutrients to the body due to alcohol consumption. It contains no preservatives, no caffeine, no taurine, no high fructose corn syrup, and no sodium. HEY....MAYBE WATER DOES THE SAME THING? (ha) But I wonder what the main ingredient is. Maybe its good for after a workout. hmmm. just curious.
