Red Bull
Maybe you’ve heard of this one. The quintessential modern energy drink. The sweet nectar that paved the way for a thousand imitations. I mean, what’s to say? If you’re reading this, you’ve had Red Bull. It’s just sweet enough, it’s just tart enough, and it calms the shakes.
Weighing in at only 90 or so milligrams of caffeine for the smallest size can, it takes several to buoy me through my average day. Your mileage may vary; I may just have a problem.
Don’t get me wrong, either: it’s still got about as much caffeine kick as a cup of coffee. Keep a few handy, and they’ll see you through the long-haul—this drink is designed for a long-term buzz, not a sprint. On those sleepless nights when I am become a dead-eyed engine of web design, it’s Red Bull pulling the strings of this horrible, lurching marionette. Also, it tastes good.
My final verdict? If they made Red Bull scented cologne, I’d wear it.
