What's with this big trend of artifically sweetened energy drinks with 200-300 mgs of caffeine? Even 5 hour energy is getting in on this shit

Wagies need the energy

Caffeine tastes really bad so it needs sweetening to disguise it. This has been a thing since guarana was being put in drinks. There's nothing new about it.

wouldn't you need sugar to use as energy?

the sugar/carb pendulum has swung so far the in other direction that people are eating pounds of bacon and butter and calling it a diet because they're afraid of a banana. sugar-free energy cucks don't realize that sugar is literally a more effective mental stimulant than caffeine or any of the goy-slop chemical shoved into these chemistry lab concoctions. Maybe for staying awake these are okay, but for anything requiring mental acuity or physical endurance, sugar cannot be beat.

How can people even drink that shit? I treid a Red Bull once, many years ago, and it was so awful I had to thrwo half the can away, and I'm a cheap fat fuck with a sweet tooth who almost never throws anything even remotely edible or potable away.

if you drink half will you get 2.5 hrs or half juice for 5 hrs? if you drink double will you get it for 10hrs or double power? or is it a logarithm type increment in energy?

Caffeine is flavorless. Buy some anhydrous caffeine and it can go in anything.

Monster is a massive company, these guys are trying to muscle in on the market share.
Wagies are also forced to work 40+ hour weeks just to pay rent now, so they want sugar + caffiene to cope. In a perfect society, energy drinks would be the domain of neets and especially busy days. But we do not live in a perfect society.

If you're have a physically active job you should have it. Desk and checkout wagies shouldn't though.

Caffeine isn't flavourless, it tastes bitter. Mixing it with something sweet makes it more palatable. Everybody wants in on the energy drink market which is massive because everybody under the age of 30 is addicted to massive servings of caffeine, probably due to the popularity and normalisation of gateway stuff like starbucks. Nobody just wants a 35mg coffee in the afternoon before a challenging meeting once or twice a week any more people want a 32oz sugar bomb starting at 6am.

Caffeine doesnt even do anything, its a joke drug like nicotine.
If it had an effect other than making kikes money then it would be banned.
