Ever found yourself short of energy but found coffee to come short of a kick? Look no further. As Chris can attest in the video later, this stuff gave him wings.

This is what you should be looking for in stores.

Red Bull is one of the leading energy brand drinks on the market. Highly juiced up on sugar and a concoction of per other energy giving vitamins and caffiene, it’s composition per 250 mL (8.4 U.S. fl. oz.) serving, about 21.5 g sucrose, 5.25 g of glucose, 50 mg of inositol, 1000 mg of taurine, 600 mg of glucuronolactone, vitamin B — 20 mg of niacin, 5 mg of vitamin B6, 5 mg of pantothenic acid and 5 μg of vitamin B12 , 80 mg of caffeine. The caffeine in one serving is similar to that found in an average cup of brewed coffee. (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_bull)

Rough translation: This stuff is rocket fuel for humans. Personal experience during a grueling 12 hour race on 2 hours sleep in between, the Red Bull kept my team up for 4 hours+ and powering on.

To cut a long story short, here’s the video review by us, the authors of Effguide!

Review by Chris, G, and Bernard.

Review by EJ (Genez)

Yeah. It doesn’t taste very nice. Not something you’ll drink for taste alone.

We had this before a presentation of ours, and the aftermath of this was that Chris and I were very alert to the point of hyperactivity, and well, this let all of us perform that one little bit better, and we scored that presentation! Be aware that you will experience a sugar crash once your body has expended all the fuel, so be aware of that when you drink it.

We give it a 5/10….simply cause it gets the job done, but tastes *blegh*
