These youngsters drink 2 cans of Red Bull for breakfast and shout and yell at others because of their hyper state. Energy is something you have to dose. If you can't put that energy into something you get agressive and tensioned. Their body and muscles become restless and sometimes it builds up to much. They can't sleep well and their body can burn out over a while.

I don't think that is a good progression of our youth. 'Kay, we know about sugar and carbonhydrates etc. We used to grow up with them too. But what these kids are getting theirs hands on is pure chemical science to the max. It is all concentrated energy and pumping etc.

I can't get it out of my head that these people will get heart diseases etc. because of their instable usage of energy and the chemicals they use.

I have no remorse for people who abuse their own bodies. None. I do not feel sad for fat asses who blame McDonalds.

Now.... where can I get my hands on some of these bars? I have a late night session of Gears Of War tonight, and I wanna lay the smacketh down!!!]]>Feb 16th 2007 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/

After all, it doesn't taste like ape $#!7 is hardly an allowable statement. Guano, due to its similarity to the word Guarana, lends a colourful, and amusing image to use in this particular case, since a great many 'energy drinks' taste like they include Guano, rather than Guarana.

Sandra Nasić is the hottest female rocker out there. Too bad the Guano Apes split.

This is actually the reason why energy drinks were banned in canada up until several years ago (now they just put a warning label and sell it as health products :-S)

While I am all for energy drinks (they got me through some harsh times where coffee just doesn't do the trick) I do think they should limit the age, much like alcohol or tabacco (although 16 is probably more appropriate.

I wouldn't eat the bar though.]]>Feb 16th 2007 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/Feb 16th 2007 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/
no its not... eat a natural plant that has poison, and it wont be good...

its still natural though]]>Feb 16th 2007 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/Feb 16th 2007 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/Feb 20th 2007 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/Feb 16th 2007 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/It's highly addictive, and far too easy to get hooked on. No one under the age of 15 should really consume caffeine daily, but with all the soda and garbage kids eat, its hard to avoid.
It's in too many things, and thats basically how the soda industry runs, the soda it's self isn't addictive, but the caffeine added in is. Soda does NOT have to have caffeine in it, it is added in to be addictive. The bottom line is parents need to be a little more proactive and less retarded. Chances are little billy won't be able to eat garbage on a daily basis unless YOU buy it for him. I hate people who can't take responsibility and it seems like recently there has been a spike in blaming other shit for bad parenting.

As for these bars, i don't know the addictive qualities of guarana, but compared to caffiene, it keeps me awake but less edgy. Plus it tastes better. I'm glad they are using it in more and more things and will probably try these things, cause i mean you can only drink SO MANY can of red bull before it gets old.]]>Feb 16th 2007 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/Feb 20th 2007 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guarana
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guaranine

My suspicion (but I havn't confirmed this) for the recent surge in the use of guarana for caffine (instead of the traditional sources: coffee or synthetic) is that it allows manufactuers to bypass some sort of FDA regulation through a technical loophole. ]]>Feb 20th 2007 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/Feb 16th 2007 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/Feb 16th 2007 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/Feb 20th 2007 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/Feb 16th 2007 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/Feb 16th 2007 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/Feb 16th 2007 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/Feb 17th 2007 7:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/Feb 16th 2007 11:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/

There is caffeinated water..I wonder how that tastes.

I don't like the taste of energy drinks (Rumba is the only one that I think actually tastes decent...) so I only use them the day after a night of little to no sleep when I know I NEED to keep alert and awake. Those days are at most once or twice a month for me. Usually only once.]]>Feb 19th 2007 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/Feb 19th 2007 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/

(PS... the water to flush suggestion earlier is a good one, this is something that creeps up, my father was 50 before told to give up coffee if he wanted to get rid of an irregular heartbeat. cutting out caffiene did solve the problem over time.)]]>Feb 19th 2007 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/headshot-food-for-gamers/
