Adrenaline Rushhhh

". . .to make his opposition chest kick up and jump, when you lit up the gun to make your body get up and uhh, That's your adrenaline rushhhh."

This is a quote from the song "Adrenaline Rush" by Twista from the 1997 album, also titled "Adrenaline Rush." Anyways, this is a corny reference, but this song was the first thing that came to mind as I decided that I would write a short post on the energy drink, Sobe: Adrenaline Rush. The song is an adrenaline rush, but more importantly, so is Sobe's new drink, which kept me going throughout last night until I finished two projects.

I haven't tried very many energy drinks. Off the top of my head, I can actually only name three for sure: Red Bull, Rockstar and Sobe: Adrenaline Rush. While most of these drinks all seem to be the same color and serve the same purpose, they do not have the same taste.

Until this year, I hadn't ventured beyond Red Bull. From what I heard and saw around campus, it seemed to be at the top of the energy drink ladder. But earlier this week, with quite a few rough, long days ahead of me, I figured it to be a good time to explore.

The results were clear. The best was Sobe: Adrenaline Rush, with Red Bull not far behind and Rockstar the worst by a considerable margin. Why? I found the Sobe energy drink to be the closest resemblance to Mountain Dew, my favorite soda. I think all of the energy drinks taste somewhat like Mountain Dew, so it seems to be a good measuring stick. Sobe: Adrenaline Rush was both more sweet than it was sour, and it didn't leave a bad feeling in my mouth. I even managed, quite easily, to drink one this morning on thus bus on the way to my 8:00 a.m. class. Red Bull wasn't bad, but it was slightly too sour. Rockstar would barely go down with chicken fajita sub on the side. In terms of taste, it's Sobe or Red Bull. It's unlikely any of these drinks are all that healthy, but it is almost certain that an energy drink is a better choice than Aderol or other all-nighter drugs.

For what its worth, here I am holding on, still awake, partly thanks to Sobe: Adrenaline Rush, after four hours of sleep in the last two days.

Sobe's website isn't bad either. Visit, put the Twista song on, grab an Adrenaline Rush and start your homework.
