Energy drink

TIL in 2017 a healthy 16-year-old boy died from drinking several highly-caffeinated drinks too quickly. He drank a McDonald's latte, a large Mountain Dew soft drink, and an energy drink in just under two hours, which caused a "caffeine-induced cardiac event causing a probable arrhythmia".











Energy drink consumption linked to depression, anxiety and stress, finds a new longitudinal study that follows 897 individuals from birth to age 22. Energy drink consumption were positively associated with increased stress scores and, in young adult males, depression and anxiety.


Monster Energy Drink sues Pokemon over the usage of 'Monsters' in the JPN title Monster Energy Drink sues Pokemon over the usage of 'Monsters' in the JPN title

A few days ago, Monster Energy started beef with yet another indie developer because it was using the exceedingly common word 'monster' in the name of its game, Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals. This wasn't the company's first trademark dispute, but it put Monster Energy back in the spotlight long enough for some folks to dig up old trademark objections filed against Monster Hunter and even Pokemon – that is, Pocket Monster – in Japan.

[Billy Carpenter] Last we saw Kai, he was playing every minute of an energy drink tie that was 0-4 on agg. Before that, he collapsed at the end of Wolves and was subbed at 90' against City after a goal & assist. Injury lists don't magically improve when they push every remaining player to the brink.





The man who created the 5-hour Energy drink says he has more money than he needs—about $4 billion more. So he’s giving it away, spending his fortune on a quest to fix the world's biggest problems, including energy.




TIL that the Red Bull energy drink was originally invented by a duck farmer from Thailand as a hangover cure (called Krathing Daeng in Thai) before being bought over by Austrian businessman Dietrich Mateschitz who discovered it on a business trip in 1987.







TIL Princeton dropout and creator of the 5-hr Energy drink says he has $4 billion more than he needs; he plans to spend his fortune to distribute 10,000 free electric battery-equipped stationary bikes in India, which will run lights/basic appliances for 1day per 1 hr of pedaling.

[Reshmin Chowdhury] Paul Pogba was fasting for Ramadan last night. At FT, he quickly ate, then reappeared for media interviews, sipping an energy drink. All this with a massive smile. I asked how he manages fasting and playing. He looked up, pointed and said “Allah helps us!” 👏😁@ManUtd @paulpogba [Reshmin Chowdhury] Paul Pogba was fasting for Ramadan last night.

TIL about RadiThor, an energy drink sold in the 1920s, claimed it provided energy and cured a host of ailments, including impotence. It was simply radium dissolved in water, slowly killing its customers.








TIL A radioactive energy drink called "Radithor" was sold in the US market for a decade in the 1920s. Radium 226 and 228 isotopes we’re used, and the expensive product claimed to cure impotence, among other ills. Some of the more prominent users had to be buried in lead coffins.






AITA for guilting my husband out of having an energy drink since I can't have one? AITA for guilting my husband out of having an energy drink since I can't have one?

I (29f) and my husband (30m, let's call him Jimothy) both work in sales in the same office. For those wondering; that's where we met, back when I was still a receptionist.

Anyway, we recently gave birth to our first child; we'll call her "PeePee." We love PeePee with our whole hearts and she is a wonderful blessing, but--like any newborn--taking care of her isn't easy. She wakes up several times a night. As a result Jimothy and I are both dragging ass at work.

So, the other day we were both struggling to stay awake. Jimothy honed in on an energy drink in the vending machine. Now, as a breastfeeding mother I can't have energy drinks, but Jimothy noted that just because I couldn't have one didn't mean that he couldn't. I responded (snapped, really) "Well that's kind of true, and kind of not."

OK, so here's why I think I was right: We are in this parenthood thing together. If I can't drink an energy drink then he shouldn't be able to either as an act of solidarity. But, then again, maybe I was unfair. Maybe as the father he should actually be able to make use of whatever physical advantages he has to better take care of his family. AITA?










What Discontinued Energy Drink(s) Would You Bring Back? What Discontinued Energy Drink(s) Would You Bring Back?

Just curious what your favorites that are no longer around are. 

I was thinking about how Taco Bell is doing this "decades collection" thing and brought back the Caramel Apple Empanada, which kinda made my whole month. Wouldn't it be cool if more companies did stuff like that? 

My long-lost favorites:

  • Monster M-80 (yellow from like the 2000s lol)

  • Red Shockwave (Speedway exclusive energy drink that I think was discontinued in 2019?)

  • Dragonfruit Red Bull (Recently discontinued and I am still upset about it lol)

  • Cherry Amp

If any of these came back tomorrow I'd be buying them up like toilet paper in March 2020. What about you?
