cross border storytime! Energy drinks are regulated in Canada so teenage me had very limited experience with them... until I started travelling to E3s. Fellow journos know of the ppl outside just handing over giant cans of Monster, Rockstar, 5hr energy, <flavour of the moment>. Madness! - ThreadSky

Oh man, JOLT soda! I had travelled to the US in the 80s and brought a couple of those back with me to Fanshawe College. Back then I didn't realize what effect drinking 2 of them while eating cookies would do to me. Probably the reason I'm Type 2 today! LOL.

lol / awwwww. I bought one by accident my first tournament in the US. Did not know at the time it was different than what I was used to!

My local cafe stocks Bawls and for the life of me I don’t know why

Sometimes, those free energy drinks everywhere were all that kept me on my feet and going on day three after getting all of maybe ten hours of sleep over the prior 72 hours, hah.

RIGHT?!! Angels, I say :D

also, omg, these cans were so helpful. These people may as well have been angels cause they sure carried a lot of us through long long long days, lmao. While my first two years I wondered if these were legit things or there was about to be a mass poisoning event, I eventually stopped caring :D

ANYWAY. When I started YT/TV, I'd often drive to hang w/ Hak5 friends. They were stunned I was stunned at existence of infinite Mountain Dew flavours. A taste test was organized. Went to many fast food places bc apparently some of them had their own unique flavours. Also got to try a case of Bawls!

After I drove back my Great Aunt had CONCERNS about the way I was acting. A wee bit jumpy! ngl, my heart hurt pretty weird for a few!! Sadly, to this day I do continue to enjoy energy drinks, but I am definitely a lot more reasonable in my consumption. Honest. I just like super sweet drinks ^_^
