(Dedicated to the fabulous MJ)

Not just energy drinks, but the wonders of coffee, guarana and other assorted chemicals. Totally yum, well, mostly.

Day 1, Drink #1: Not bad, no weird aftertaste. Could be worse.

Yes, I have a drinking problem.

Day 1, drink #2. It was mean, it was of bean. I didn’t make me scream.

Day 3 (Because Day 2 was a break), only drink! It was pretty good: not too sweet, not too chemical. Good job, Starbucks!

Day #4, Drink #1. OH MY GOD THIS WAS HORRIBLE. I love caramel and this was NOT anything even remotely related to caramel. It was like the drink “Cisco” (Yeah, you better admit to knowing that one) only with enough sugar to cover up the funky, non-caramel taste. Gross. Go away, you suck.

Day #7225, Drink #155 (I lost count, sue me). Deemed the best coffee-flavored energy drink by MJ. If I was a huge fan of cinnamon, I’d probably agree. But, I’m not. It was, however, a delight after the icky caramel wannabe I consumed prior to it. In all honesty, trying to FIND this one was probably part of my issue. No gas stations carried it, but Wal-Mart did… I found it while buying lice spray for my cousin. Boo.

My favorite ended up being the Java Monster Originale (which I forgot to take a picture of). It even had a hint of caramel, or that was my own hallucination, but whatever. I could even go take one now and pretend its the one I drank, but then I’d drink it and I have another trip coming up on Friday.

Thanks, MJ, for the inspiration!
