I'm a mountain dew guy through and through. It just tastes better.

The occasional bawls isn't bad, though, and I can deal with pretty much anything.

You missed Jolt gum (http://www.joltgum.com/). However, I still like coffee; you just can't beat the flavor. 7-11 french roast is the best coffee in existance. However, gum is the portable alternative to coffee that supports long term storage.

I love Mountain Dew, but when MDX is available, I will always choose that. Mountain Dew MDX is like regular Dew on steroids. :D

I like Mountain Dew but up here in Canada the Dew has no caffeine unless you buy Energy. My favorite is actually Red Rave. Same ingredients as Red Bull but is 1/3 the price and tastes better.

Pure sunlight does the trick for me (rare around these part this time of year) but since that's not an option I'll have to say Ice teas. It kept me up for the 10 hour drive to IRI.

What happened to good, old-fashioned chocolate? It may not be so high in caffeine, but sometimes you have to take quality over quantity!

Hot tea, with Earl Gray and Chai being my two favorites!

To really get me going, it takes Diet Pepsi. (Combine that with peppermint Trident White, and there's no chance of dozing easily.)

Sweet tea will also work in a pinch. (Bear in mind, I'm from the South. When I say "sweet tea," I mean sweet tea. Get a pitcher, dump in five pounds of sugar, stir it up, and you'll get the concept.)

How come this wasn't an option? :D

I would definately have to agree. MDX is much better then regular dew. Now don't get me wrong, all I drink most of the time in terms of soda is dew, but MDX isn't bad and its the first Energy Drink that actually tastes somewhat good(of the ones I have had) My only issue is that my school sells MDX for twice the price of regular 20oz bottle of dew, so I just stick with the normal dew most of the time.

"tea! Earl Grey! Hot!" - Capt. Picard

Ive discovered to make good coffee you need boiling water, and the coffee needs to seep in the boiling water for a few minutes, which means these automatic drip coffee machines, that drizzle psuedo-hot water through coffee grounds dont quite do the job.

Once you have gotten use to having 'real' coffee every morning, nothing else will do.

31-01-2006, 14:44

i used to work at starbucks, so i got hooked on espresso. a good doppio con panna will give you the needed kick to get going. if you are really hardcore, get a 6-shot grande white mocha, add syrup to taste. 6 or 8 shots (can't remember which) is the most we sell.
I have yet to try most of those drinks, except the obvious (dew, coke, tea). One i really want to get is SOBE adrenaline. it has more taurine than bookoo, but a smaller can. wild.

which is why french presses always give better coffee than a machine.

Chocolate, if I really need it.

Those who know me well realize that I run about like an energizer bunny and I don't run out of energy until I get deathly stress-sick and then I just kinda collapse.

The best thing on this poll, good ol mountain dew. My friend that helps me with those long nights, and early mornings. I had around 2 bottles and 5 cans of it in less than an hour once, along with other sugar and caffine. I was wired for days. It was fun. :D

31-01-2006, 21:59

I don't drink a lot of drinks that are not either water or some sort of fruit juice. Maybe it's because that's all I can find around my house (yes, we don't even have coffee to drink... just some for guests).

31-01-2006, 22:47

A little thing called "No-Doze". Straight up CAFFINE. If anyone was at the Pittsburgh regional last year. Yea, that was me running around the top deck with the 204 flag yelling..., dressed up like a samuri (sp) because they were all out of viking stuff :(

Mountain Dew MDX is like regular Dew on steroids.In terms of caffeine, oh yes. I had my first taste of MDX today on the way home from Robotics, and one gulp made me wake right up. Now in terms of flavor... eh, not so much better imo.

(Yes, I know Mountain Dew is twice.)Also, I highly doubt Monster is very popular, so I only listed what you see above.

tyler, you need to read the threads, not skip to the last page and post something.

Also, I highly doubt Monster is very popular, so I only listed what you see above.

Monster is very popular on the west coast. I'm not sure about east coast, but we all technically "worship" the drink.

Dr. Pepper is the best drink for me :D . Our team mostly runs off of Mountain Dew and Coke tho.

Bawls is the best hard to think that that it only has 15 votes but is in third

Michelle Celio

27-06-2006, 02:11

Too bad you can't edit the poll to add Vault. Vault is about perfect for me since it doesn't have to much caffeine, but it has more caffeine for normal soda. so yay vault!

Jolt gum has saved me at far too many a competition for me to not put in a vote for it...

Not a BIG fan of caffeine, but sometimes its really helpful

like i used BAWLS to stay up during finals
and Red Bull on my 11 hour drive to Indiana.

ps Well for looong drives, chewing gum is (like a cow :p ) is a good idea too

Dew or sweet tea

Usually I would just have one of Star-bucks ice drinks and that will wake me up for a while, but it wasn't up so I just put down coke. Though running outside in the winter in NY also does the trick.

I like...

...Lost Five-O Energy Supplement

It's energy plus orange juice. I could use some right now but over the years the caffeine has done some serious damage to my system and I can't drink it very often. I have to get my BP down. I like my pickles. Pickles are loaded with salt. And salt raised my BP. When I drink an energy my heart starts racing about 5000000000000000001 mph and it kinda hurts.

I'm a Jolt fan myself. Bawls is awesome, but it comes in such small amounts for the same price as Jolt that I can't justify the cost/caffeine ratio.

Of the products I'm exposed to, Jolt gets me the best ratio and tastes awesome too.

Although I like NoDoz as well...

I practically live on energy drinks during college. It's a much better alternative than getting a hot cup of coffee. (Believe me, I spilled a cup of coffee on me before an interview I was supposed to do for the campus newspaper.)

As for energy drink of choice, it's any combination of Monster and Lost energy drinks (which I have to actually run back home or to the Smoothie King on US-1 (which I'm not doing until the city of College Park decides its ready to fix its crime problem)) prefer stuff like Khaos in the morning (Juice Drink) or Five-O and Lo-Carb Monster or Lost Perfect 10. But on campus, if I need a quick boost or the morning coffee, I buy SoBe No Fear (I don't keep them at the dorm though).

Occaisionally I'll dive for Honest Tea, Coke Zero, or any other convenient, good tasting diet drink out there or even iced tea. It's iced tea (relatively unsweetened), not sweet tea like you find so much in the South!

Bawls all the way. What other way is there to get hyper? (unless you're like me, and practically hyper 24/7 =D )

same here. I can't stand how some people get addicted to caffeine and can't function without it.
