My New Favorite Beverage. The aftertaste is unnervingly candybaresque.→[More:] This one was there too, but the clerk told me the first one was better.
Also, this song deserves another mention. It makes me want to slick my hair back, put on a satin jacket and sing on a street corner in front of a flaming trashcan. Plus any piece of music mentioning a woman named Hoskie Bopalena is good by default.
(also the satin varsity-style jacket-preferably embroidered with the name of a small family-owned business or a dubious fraternal organization on the back and a nickname like 'Shorty,' or 'Buzz,' over the breast pocket-is a fashion statement worth reviving. I am not kidding)
I saw those at the supermarket, krix, but since I don't believe in 'energy drinks,' I have not and will not partake. Good to see the retro sensibility spreading to such a modernistic assed product set.
Ok, so "Slammers" to me makes me think of the following (in no particular order):
-Branded prison wine
-A SoCo-containing shot from the South that frat boys enjoy.
-An energy drink endorsed by pr0n stars. "I bet you ask yourself, how does Ron Jeremy get the energy to bang bitches all day long? The answer? Slammers, the new energy drink from Nestle."
Re: Tab Energy drink -- A friend of mine said it totally gave her energy after the previous day's worth of snowboarding left bruises all over her body...
...the energy to sprint to the bathroom to spit it into the toilet, that is.
Yeah, the first sip is pretty vile. But it grows on you. Really.
I'm a Red Bull FIEND and so far it's the only other brand I've been able to stomach.
Monster sugar-free tastes like fairy spunk.
