Now Danny what is gonna happen when these Energy Drinkers find Afri-Cola? Loaded with Caffine and the best cola I have ever had. oh and did i mention cheaper? in glass! My god it makes me wonder why people shell out $2 for any 8.3 oz CAN of some Energy drink that tastes like junk. If you need a boost buy vitamins or even better BUY AFRI-COLA. You just cant go wrong!

Or go for some Bawls, light and refreshing, with a ton of caffinee.

Well, at least the Green Giant is jolly! Anyway, I get plenty of green from Green River; can't say I've ever bought anything from the Green Giant. Corn on the cob is cheap and much better!!

I think Afri-Cola is excellent (ausgezeichnet) and I also really like Bawls. In fact, this weekend I went to a churrascaria (all-you-can-eat Brazilian steakhouse); didn't have anything that possibly could have come from the Green Giant, but I noticed that they had some cheap canned Guaraná in this white-cloth restaurant. So after dinner I told the owner that I thought it was excellent but that they should perhaps look into getting some Brazilian beer and some Bawls Guaraná. I told him I knew a guy who works with Bawls and with his permission I'll give their card to the salesman. As for Afri-Cola, that might be a step too far for this place but they just took it at the HEIMATHAUS in Alpine Village!

And then speaking of energy drinks, this weekend was the opening of the Cherry Pop club on Santa Monica Blvd in Hollywood. Of course, the sponsor of this event was Lolli's Cherry Pop and she was there to meet everyone. The club was packed. You could hardly hear or see anything inside because there were so many people (many of which were drinking bottles of Lolli's). Outside, along with all of the smokers, there was a line about a block and a half long, of people waiting to get in. The fire marshal makes people wait til someone leaves to let the next one in. It dwarfed a 1980's line of Russians waiting for ice cream!

Hey, I should tell them to send a bottle to the Bev Net! However, the Illusion guy says it may take a long time to get a review! Oh well, I'll tell her anyway. The Lolli girl put her picture into the logo as a pin-up girl; perhaps the reviewers will be tempted to open it a little sooner... !

I agree; that Lolli's is fun stuff! We've got a full-on display in our store's window (for Valentine's Day, y'know?) and that Lolli Girl's a real eye-catcher.

but you know, putting up a display of Bawls next to Lolies would be great as well. Lollies for the girls (pink) and Bawls for the guys (blue), talk about great marketing.

Yes, that is true. We sell to a sex shop in Long Beach and they have Lolli's, Bawls, and Love Potion # 69 all on display for Valentine's. I must say that what I've heard about Yum means they probably have something similar. I've heard they have a better variety than Galco! I know all three are there, too; just not in a Valentine's display. And then of course there are places in Scottsdale and Dallas that have the same...

I think Red Bull and other energy drinks are right now what cherry flavored drinks were in the 80's and early 90's. Cherry Coke was a big hit. Soon everyone had a Cherry beverage. There was Cherry Pepsi, Cherry 7up, Cherry RC, and every store brand. Finally everyone just got kind of "got over" the taste. It's not that cherry suddenly tasted bad, but people weren't surprised by it anymore. I think the same will happen with energy drinks. Chances are that folks will figure out it's just concentrated sodas with extra vitamins in it. I think if anything, it will help sodas in the long run. The big boys will learn a few tricks from Red Bull and maybe begin to fortify their colas and sodas with guarana and taurine etc, but they'll still offer more volume at a better price and Red Bull will return to it's niche.

I think people are getting tired of "crap in a can" and they are starting to realize how stupid they look carrying around a little tin can. The whole energy game is about to change!!!

Try Dark Dog energy...the best on the market!

Dark what???
