Against my better judgement, I just bought a can of Red Bull from the shop. I think I should go eat something before I freak my HR team out by exploding in a bunch of freaky over-caffeinated wibbles.

*giggles* sounds like fun!!


Nice to meet you finally *smiles* its a bit nerveracking is'nt it...actually getting face to face, I always get nervous *shrugs* I really don't know why!

Ick, Red Bull is dangerous. It gives me tunnel vision and strange noises in my ears. It can't be good for you, and on an empty stomach too.

I've been told Red Bull is much better when mixed with various alcohol. Never tried it myself though, heard it tastes god aweful.

Also know most people don't finish a single can, at least around here.

Argh, red bull, eek, no, argh.

In my considered and professional opinion, obviously..

Heheh - very nervewracking. I was a bit over-caffeinated, super-nervous and frazzled (hence the "babble mode"), but it was lovely to finally meet you *grins* We must have a nice chilled cup of coffee some time :)

[cybermule.livejournal.com]

*nods* definitely a bit sickly and weird. I shouldn't drink too much caffeine on an empty stomach - it turns me jittery and freak-ish.

Hmmm... it's OK with vodka, and I had a neat cocktail involving Red Bull and absinthe at some point. It'snot my favouritest drink though - I prefer Mountain Dew, but you can't get it over here.

[cybermule.livejournal.com]

Meh - I'm suffering the consequences now. Need much codeine *groan*

[fyatuk.livejournal.com]

oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh, I remember the good old days of codeine... Twas a long time ago when it was OTC... Great fun though.

Red Bull is an evil thing.. each week, after we drank Edwards out of wine we'd shift onto vodkas and red bull.

It would take little more than one (ok, it only took one!) and I'd be buzzing all weekend and not sleep till monday :S

We have RED Mountain Dew here. No idea what it's like, I've never had it. My friend's mum loves the stuff, but can't have it because the American stuff has caffeine in it, but the Canadian stuff doesn't (it's a legal thing), so I might try to bring back a few cans for her.

[cybermule.livejournal.com]

Yeah - we can only get paracetamol+codeine OTC. But I'm very susceptible to codeine, so it works out just fine wit me :)

[cybermule.livejournal.com]

*grins* What flavour is the red one? I liked it, but you can't get it at all over here, as far as I know. Are there no caffeinated soft drinks in Canada?

[fyatuk.livejournal.com]

Heh, codeine is absolutely not allowed OTC in the US. They're currently trying to phase it out of prescriptions too, though it is still a common prescription. Most of the people I know who get their wisdom teeth removed are prescribed Tylenol-3 (Extra trength acetamenaphin with codeine added).

That's ok. I think I still have some of my mom's morphine in a cabinet somewhere. I have a habit of throwing that kind of stuff in a cabinet instead of properly disposing it...

[cybermule.livejournal.com]

instead of properly disposing it...

Well, if you're sensible, that's not that bad a habit :)

Hey - I just noticed that - not bloody fair! I didn't get anything when I got my teeth extracted :(

[fyatuk.livejournal.com]

when I got my teeth extracted

Heh, I still have mine. Completely sideways but basically buried in my jaw bone so they ain't going anywhere unless I break my jaw or something...

[cybermule.livejournal.com]

Ouch! They had to yank mine out - I couldn't eat, and everything below my nose was threatening to go septic and fall off.

It's probably Radioactive Cherry or something equally frightening. There's dnL (or maybe the caps are in different places) here which is bright green, and supposed to be some sort of 7up variation. It's actually pretty good.

Canadian fruit-flavoured drinks can't have caffeine in them. I guess Coke's okay, because no one knows what flavour it is anyway, but 7up and Sprite are both technically lemon-lime, so no caffeiene there, and not in ginger ale either, since I guess ginger's a fruit too legally. I think root beer can go both ways, and I've never seen cream soda (vanilla flavour, or just pink, if you'd rather) with caffeine in it either,

which is bright green

I bught some green ketchup once - not very tasty, but had to buy it. I'm not too keen on weird flavoured ones - 7up and cherry are OK, but Tizer and Dr peppers.... *shudder*

[fyatuk.livejournal.com]

but Tizer and Dr peppers.... *shudder*

Have no idea what Tizer is, but Dr. Pepper is one of the few soda's i'll drink. Of course I like it because It's less harshly carbonated than Coke or Pepsi...
