Monster Edit

Whoops, rant on me, because according to wikipedia, Monster's Energy drink only contains 160 mg of caffeine. Two questions only can come to mind:

1. This does nothing for Monster's branding of intense energy. Why choose Monster for late night studying when coffee and cola does just the same? How can we overcome late night partying now without a crazy intense surge of energy in the cubby the next day?

2. What the bloody hell is the rest of the 4840 mg (specifically, L-Carnitine, Guarana, Inositol, Glucuronolactone, and Maltodextrin)? Sounds yum though (and perhaps answer to #1)!

In college I was obsessed with the caffeine content of drinks. So, I have to say that in fact most coffee and soda has way under 160 mg of caffeine. It's true...a cup of coffee generally has from 80-120 mg and soda is anywhere from 40-80 mg.

The 160 mg represents two servings of Monster, which means one can, because who doesn't love to saranwrap their half-a-drink for tomorrow?
