I'm Convinced...the [Energy Drink] Edition

I think I'm going to add a new segment to Industry*Kirs entitled [I'm Convinced], because there are just so many things I foresee a problem with in the future.

My first topic has to do with the ever changing, highly marketable, and most of the time some weird ass color that can't be good for you product...the "energy drink".

Now, I know that if I polled some of you addictive asses folk you'd be able to name me every energy drink that is on the shelf right now. Me personally, I can only name like 3 off top and here they are in no particular order, Monster, Amp'd, and Red Bull. Now, I know there are more but these are all I know and see people drink the most of.

My problem with these potions, concoctions, mystery liquids "drinks" is that they are not really natural. Most of them are filled with caffeine out the ass and once you drink them you're good for a few hours and then you CRASH. So, in order to prohibit the CRASH...most folk just well drink another can full.

It's always funny to see people who are addicted to their "drank" because the minute they don't think they're going to be able to obtain their vice...they go into hysterics. I've told several people they should try to ween themselves off "that stuff" and they look at me like a crack head needing a fix and say, "I know...I know...girl I just need it. I'm going to give them up one day."

You'll never catch me drinking one of those liquid addictions. If I need energy...I take a nap...or just fall asleep where I'm at like normal people.

Besides, I'm convinced...that in 10 years...they're going to tell us that it turns your insides blue and I don't need anymore problems. I've got student loans to pay back.
