That's well enough for me to never drink that weird thing. #blood

anyone of you heard about GUARANA? I use it when Im studying allnighter and is the best thing i ever tried.
You can get it in plain powder, capsules or even some drinks. And it keeps you up for 6 HOURS and more(just don't take another dose when it starts to wear off, cause you wont be sleeping that night)
OH and it tastes like shit, specially the powder. mix it with some yogurt to kill little of taste(just a teaspoon is enough) #blood

@rrwakc: Guaraná is a brazilian thing, I don't thing that many people outside of Brazil knows about it.
I never had guaraná powder, only guaraná soda. And it must be Antarctica, not that Kuat bullshit. #blood

If you want the viscosity, just add some Karo syrup (same stuff they use for blood in the movies). That'll thicken (and sweeten) it right up!

For the true caffeine lover, they should ship it with an actual IV needle so you can pump it directly into your veins instead of using your stomach as the middleman. #blood

@Thee Sea: Yeah...that's why it is marketed as corn syrup...even says it on the label. I use it in my kitchen occasionally, but at work (in a restaurant) we use it quite often instead of sugar. #blood

i just start every day with an almost imperceptible dose of LSD. really, it only ends up costing like 50 cents a day, so it's actually cheaper than coffee. problem is that after a few years, goblin pen smoke runs copper eat love, and that can be a problem. #blood

I think I could market this. Just get a hold of some IV bags, 5 hour energy and Hawaiian punch. How much are they charging for this? #blood

"The boost is definitely gone, two hours short of their 4-hour claim.

That's not an energy drink. That's a sugar rush at best! It's less "giving blood to a creature of the night" and more "giving a Twinkie to an anorexic Twilight fangirl." #blood

''Decide to take a nap because it's too bright outside"

That's just the vampirism kicking in. Soon enough your fangs will start to grow, you'll become angsty, and overly pale tweens will begin following you, feeling this strange attraction to you. Don't let them get too close, however, lest you find yourself being sucked into a world of darkness and despair where you must constantly protect them from horrors greater than yourself in an never-ending tale of darkness that we all wish would just die already.

In other words, go enjoy the sun before you become a Twilight fangirl's obsession because of your True Blood energy drink love. #blood

@Gordonium: I think you just found the one and only acceptable environment for drinking this crap

...while role playing D&D or something.

My old role-playing friends would probably get a kick out if this (or the Mana/Life), but they would also pretend to not know me if I busted it out in public. #blood

@newgalactic: I dunno, it could also be a good blood substitute for poser teens who think they're satanists or druids or whatever, but are too squeamish/lame to use actual blood.

Then again, the world would benefit more from those nimrods just chickening out of crap like that. #blood

I love bizarre soft drinks (Crystal Pepsi, Yop, Orbitz, ラムネ) so I'll check this out if I can get some. Hopefully they don't thicken it with a ton of corn syrup... for that price/size, only one though.

Funny that they'd have instructions for warming it up, considering it's fruit punch flavored - mmm, hot, thick fruit punch syrup... bleh.

Looks like it'd fit in a pocket really easily though! I'd take uncarbonated drinks in bag-flasks if they're big enough! #bloodenergypotion
