I definitely tasted prune juice in the blue one.
Let that mean what it will to whom it will.
Edited To note:
I haven't been to sleep since before I drank it. And my Rants in this forum are "off the chain," as the kids say.
And I ain't kiddin. 36+ hours without sleep and counting...

I will swing by Wally World and pick up a can today and do a little product testing. Working retail I have been on 6-day work weeks since the beginning of November. I am also watching our 15 month old this morning. This afternoon were heading to Raccoon Mt. to ride our mountain bikes. If this stuff can stand up to that schedule it is a "must have" for my Christmas list...Segal on the can is cool, kind of like the resurgence of Chuck Norris in pop culture.

Nothing really touches my tolerance for this kind of thing but I like to mix it up a bit so I will stop and get some...the only drawback to this one is they do not offer a sugar free variety. I usually only drink the sugar free variety as the sugar in them does give a nasty sugar crash after..

Very true about the inevitable crash for the sugar version. I used to down most of a Rock Star prior to racing my bike. Then I noticed a sudden drop in energy after about and hour and a half to two hours. A diet version does the job much better. The only down side is the taste... Sugary version is tastier to me at least.

I'm thinking a good night's sleep would be most beneficial.

Hola La (El?) Leche...
If our mutual employer gets wind of this, I think they will be filling the water fountains with your energy drink to increase the almight production stats, ya know? Ala Idiocracy?
Does it taste like Red Bull? That stuff reminds me of melted baby aspirin...
Shannon (who will stick to espresso)

An Interesting flavor, to be sure. Our mutual employer wouldn't do such a thing! People might actually do their jobs! We all know that is strictly verboten. Although if they thought they could make a buck off of us, I'm sure it would become mandatory to buy the stuff. They have Full Throttle in the Caf Vending machine, You know... The Green One.

Here are my personal test results.... It tastes better than most drinks of this ilk. For example I think that red bull has hints of kerosene or perhaps cologne ? My brother described it as tasting like a cross between a wine cooler and a cough drop that had been around long enough to have lint on it. As far as crash factor ...I never really noticed a sudden drop in energy level. Also I never really felt jittery ala Rock Star. I rode my bike for two hours at a rapid pace avoiding root,rocks and trees and managed to stay upright the entire time. I had no trouble shutting it all down and going to sleep last night. The price is nice compared to other "energy drinks". At a $1.00 per can I would rate it a best buy in this category. This evening I will combine a few cans with various and sundry spirits and conclude the testing...

Yeah, if it's any good, the price is definitely good. Most energy drinks are twice as expensive! Crazyness!

My theory is that it hasn't sold well because people fear the Segal.
Fools.
