Jeez I didn't start drinking coffee til I was in my 20's. Kids starting young.

When I was in highschool a lifetime ago I'd have one pot of espresso for breakfast and bring another in a travel mug to drink during the first class. Funny thing is even the teachers who were usually really strict about "no food or drinks in class" would just ignore a big travel mug full of coffee.

We had a Nespresso machine in the classroom one of my classmates brought.

Whatever happened to the halcyon days of yore when you'd do a LAN party and mainline two-liters of Jolt Cola?

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 20 points 4 days ago (2 children)

It was BAWLS energy drink for us

Proud sponsors of Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel!

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I haven't thought about BAWLS in a long ass time.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago

They sponsored a lot of the local LAN parties and one time i won an entire case of bawls bottles in a broodwar tournament.

what!? Nothing but the finest nectars and juices for me, I'm putting this swill down (the hatch).

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

But like what even is the flavor at that point. Just sugar, taurine and caffeine?

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 5 points 3 days ago

it's actually smells and your brain gets confused

[–] microfiche@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago

That one is blue raspberry jolly rancher flavored.

It's to make room for the caffeine

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago

You used to be able to buy amphetamines in the supermarket sicko-wistful

i've got a pretty high caffeine tolerance and these things make even me feel bad, do not recommend
