Are you allergic to one of the ingredients?

Could be a reaction to the caffeine. How much do you normally drink?


As for 5-hour energy, I tried one yesterday instead of my usual Monster Energy Drink in the morning. Gave me 5-hours and at 1:00 I crashed hard! Barely made it till 5:00 at work. So much for their ads claiming no crash.

Look at the fine print on the bottom of the screen every time it says this.

*No crash means no sugar crash*


WTF???

Yeah, It says that on the bottle as well. I was just shocked how much I crashed. I usually drink one to two Monsters a morning and have no crash at all. This was totally different.

What are you crashing on? Just the sheer amount of caffeine? It doesn't make sense. Every morning at work I have a 12-shot latte, and I never crash. I can't imagine this has THAT much caffeine.

Either way, I did the 5 hour energy once too and I crashed so hard that I've never gone near any of that shit again.

That stuff is a $5 multivitamin. It barely even has caffeine.

wtf is the deal with Monster drinks and 12-shot lattes? It's a heavy day if I go over 4 cups of java for the day.

Yeah, me neither.
I make a pot first thing out of bed, drink it while I'm preparing for the day, and pour a go cup for the drive to my office. After that, I'm done with coffee for the day.

I think were I to over-indulge like kwilk or bradford, I'd be climbing the walls.

My uncle's visit to America:

Starbucks:

Hi, I'll take an espresso.
One shot or two?
I just want an espresso.
Do you want one or two shots in it?
I just want the espresso.
Barista fills big paper cup with a little espresso shot.
Uncle looks to us. What the hell is this?


Wendy's:

I'll take a Jr. Cheeseburger.
Anything else?
Uhhh...fries.
Small, medium, or large?
Medium I guess.
Do you want a combo?
What's that?
It includes a drink for $0.50 extra.
Sure, whatever.
Do you want to super size your combo?
Just give me my damn food!

I don't drink coffee because I can't stand the taste.

I doubt there's any more caffeine in my Monsters than in your pot of coffee.
