BevNET Review: Brain Wash is perhaps one of the most exotic of the Skeleteens beverages, and definitely the one with greatest amount of food coloring. It contains numerous herbs, several types of ginseng, and an interesting kick of jalepeno pepper. Probably due to the jalepeno, the taste is similar to The Drink. Brain Wash is a bright blue color, which will temporarily dye anything it comes in contact with. It is also rumored to dye the drinker's feces and urine, but that failed to occur for this drinker. Despite its novelty, it can't really be considered a superior beverage, because it's spiciness makes it difficult for the average system to tolerate. On an interesting side note, however, a bit of hard liquor mixed into Brain Wash will combat the burning sensation and go down smooth.

Brain Wash was a let down. I made my mom drive me all the way to the candy store. (which is 20 miles away) I paid $2.50 of my life's earning to be disimpressed by the unsanity of brain wash. my plaque is now blue... If youare ever looking for a decent soda, try love potion no.69. It is truly delectable because of its sweetness and deliciousness. :)

UNIQUE TASTE! I LIKE IT!
5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars

I saw the title, and I had to try it. I like the unique taste of it! It leaves a "zing" feeling in your throat; it's probably due to the cloves and jalapeno peppers. It has a peppery-like taste and it's not easy to describe. Try it yourself. I've tried the "popular" Love Potion no. 69 and I have to say this one is way better.

Blue brainwash was the best
5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars

When our local teen coffeehouse in Port Townsend, Washington lost their distributor for skeleteens, I ponied up funds to keep the stuff flowing direct from the source. Blue brainwash and LP #69 were the best. Blue brainwash always turned my poop an unnatural bright green. Wish I had a pitcutre of that ;-)

Freakin Amazing

This is one of the absolute best energy drinks out there. The jalapeno oil, and Skeleteen's famous Mad Dog Weed, are quite an interesting combination! The ingredient change made it slightly worse, but it's still one of the best caffeine trips you can get on a reasonable budget. Wish it was easier to find, though, my BevMo keeps getting sold out.

Ah, just like I remembered...

I 1st tried this soda back in '97, when I worked at a cafeteria in a local community college. It's hard to find, and in a recent trip to Tucson, AZ, found it again! I tried both the red & blue. The red version has the original 'zing' that I remembered, while the blue didn't quite meet my expectations. If I could get this stuff delivered at a good price here in TX, I would.

Like drinking God's blood
5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars

the blue is my favourite beverage by far, it has a somewhat fruity, somewhat spicy, somewhat unearthly flavour about it. highly recommend it for the rather unusual side effects(feeling of invulnerability, hyperconsciousness, transcendence into an ethereal state of unhuman nirvana, etc), although i suppose they are not that uncommon for Skeleteen beverages. But joking aside, the side effects are quite nice, and this beverage is very similar to God's blood

This stuff is amazing
5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars

First, I can confirm that if you get the 'blue' version, that it will definitely turn your "leavings" green. Second, I would like to state that this is one of my favorite potable experiences of all time. Mixes well with Vodka. If there's a Beverages and More near your location, they often carry this amongst the other drinks in the Skeleteens line.

Brainwashed Me

I love this drink. Probably the best of the Skeleteens sodas. It has an unual amount of carbinition, takes hours and hours to go flat. And the first sip always is a kick. Warning it's a strong drink.
