what is green monster?

by **Jack Saladin** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 6:18 am UTC

Some American energy drink, like Red Bull or V.

by **Verysillyman** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 6:44 am UTC

My proudest red bull related moment was the time everyone in town was drinking red bull and vodka, and all of them wanted me to try it (regardless of whether I already had).

by **Ephphatha** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 6:56 am UTC

And then?

by **hack124x768** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 7:01 am UTC

I just noticed this, I spelled first wrong in my last post. I think I'll leave it to remind me of my n00bishness.

In case anyone's wondering, my first energy drink was a wired 3000. Good stuff, somewhat bitter though.

by **Verysillyman** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 11:25 am UTC

Well the only real 'and then' was that i got to drink as much as i liked all night without having to pay. But that was very special to me.

isn't red bull and vodka the stuff heart attacks are made of?

by **hack124x768** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 12:37 pm UTC

Energy drinks are fun stuff on their own. I have a friend that passed out from a 20oz vault drank single-handedly. Of course she is a light weight (~100lbs), but still, it freaked me out.

Funny, the only reason im still awake right now (seven hours after I wanted to be asleep) is from drinking a 24oz Monster. Im gunna kill my heart.

Red Bull is now banned from my house, my girlfriend once drank a two-litre bottle within half an hour, then wouldn't stop doing things for almost a day afterward, when she fell asleep for a good twelve hours.

I believe her body produces it's own source of caffeine to begin with.

geekfood ideas: how about pi?

Take a package of raw bacon... slice by slice, drop it into a deep fryer.

wait 5 minutes, take it out. enjoy.

Green olives, straight from the jar. Cold and crisp.

Visit your local burrito store (s/willys/moes/chipotle/qdoba), have your burrito made your usual way, then at the end say "oh and can I have a piping hot ladle full of Queso cheese poured into the burrito before wrapping up?"

It turns the inside into this hot, cheesy, liquified, gooey disgusting mess that is so good, your ass wont even complain when its rupturing 30 minutes later.

They...they make 2 liters of Red Bull?

I've got to get me some of that.

by **Jesse** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 9:49 pm UTC

Try Somerfield, if you live in England, or one of those 24-Hour garages.

I've heard that too. I can confirm it has't happened to me.

As for 2 Litre bottles, !!!!!!!! That's ridiculous. I think the largest available here is 330 ml, and they tell you not to drink more than three. But noone drinks real red bull, we all buy the cheap concentrated kratingdaeng L. (I don't think I spelt that right)

by **miss kyri** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 7:35 am UTC

the vodka makes the red bull less... red bullish, for me. But if I'm tired enough it doesn't matter.... I drank three cans one day and could barely stay awake. Other times, caffeine makes me so high as to be useless.

but...

TWO LITERS?

thats just not ok.....

by **rockintom99** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 8:44 am UTC

A 20oz of monster would do that? Psh.

Last year, at PAX (Penny Arcade Expo), they were selling Bawls for a buck a bottle. My friend and I each had 6, and would have had more if we had some money. My legs were twitching.

I also didn't have anything to eat, on account of spending all the money on the drinks, so that might have helped in the twitching aspect...

i had a similar twitch except a i started out walking a couple miles to a gas station for food (nearest thing in walking range). I get there and decide against real food(mistake) and buy two 20oz monsters and two carmello bars.

A couple hours later my blood sugar plummeted from lack of real food and my whole body went numb and i had to lie down but all the caffiene had my whole body twitching. I thought i might go into a twitchy coma.

Bug Juice from Dragon Con mixed with Mountain Dew and Pixie Sticks. o.0. Not so much food as something that should be dripped in your veins.

No I'm pretty sure it's the wall at Fenway Park in Boston.

I don't know how you're supposed to drink it though...

That's one of the coolest ideas I've heard today. You could dee fry it too. For a while i deep fried everything. That was when I got a deep frier. I've kinda forgotten about it now.

by **Umlaut** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 4:55 pm UTC

Hash-browns and bacon.

Left over Thai food put in a hot dog bun. Hot dogs in general actually, but you have to get experimental with the toppings..on that note, does anyone know which brand makes the most structurally sound hotdog buns? I'm experimenting with the Wonderbread variety now.

by **Jesse** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 7:21 am UTC

Warburtons.

by **Verysillyman** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 12:35 pm UTC

i don't know what they are at all, but i like the sound of war and burton combined.

French mustard and ketchup are a must on top of hotdogs...what other toppings can there be!?

by **gonzophysicist** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 6:54 pm UTC

I must disagree, there are three thing that can possibly go on a hot dog and ketchup is not one of them. The other two being sauerkraut and relish.

by **Umlaut** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 7:48 pm UTC

Kraut only goes on a brat, cretins.

by **Marrow** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 9:34 pm UTC

But definitely relish.

by **Grincement** » Wed Sep 20, 2006 10:23 am UTC

Ok, I bow down to your superior palette...I have very young tastes in sauces. However I still say ketchup and mustard are top but I will entertain the idea of relish on a hot dog one day...though I'm slightly confused as to the difference between say relish and chutney. Can anyone clarify for me?

by **Verysillyman** » Wed Sep 20, 2006 11:06 am UTC

Relish is less chunky. That's why it's called chutney.

Bars around Melbourne had to stop selling Red Bull and Vodka, because a few people had some chest problems. My bio teacher says it's something to do with the reaction of Red Bull and Vodka.

by **Peripatetic** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 8:59 am UTC

Gah, people. Just leave off the Red Bull and have a nice shot of vodka, especially if it's Stoli or better. Red Bull is disgusting.

Then again, I drink whiskey on the rocks. Maybe I'm just old at 23.

by **Grincement** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 5:45 pm UTC

I've never understood people who like red bull, I've never drunk it but that's cos the smell alone makes me feel extremely queasy!

by **Marrow** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 6:52 pm UTC

Some people enjoy caffiene type energy stuff, I've never had a redbull but Monster are good tasting, though I don't really notice anything like caffiene sugar or energy drinks having any real effect for me. Yes with vodka too.

by **Shoofle** » Mon Sep 25, 2006 2:07 am UTC

So apparently the actual effect of caffeine is simply to reduce the transmission of pain signals along nerves. With this in mind, one member of our robotics team (the only one who could stand Red Bull) got a bunch of Red Bulls from the Red Bull promotional guy and chugged them. We poked him frequently throughout the day to see if he could feel any difference.

On a sidenote, Red Bull is definitely not something that the robotics team needs. Nonetheless, there was a guy walking around with a bag full of Red Bulls handing them out. Undoubtedly trying to get us addicted. No one liked them.

by **Tropylium** » Mon Sep 25, 2006 9:02 am UTC

I don't think I'll ever really understand why some foods are geeky and some aren't... caffeine, yes, but where does the fast food come in? More to the point: yes, it's fast, but raw oatmeal / fruit / bread is certainly faster.
