Walking through campus today, I was offered free Red Bull by marketers looking to get college kids hooked (today was the first day of the quarter for the undergrads). I wasn’t impressed. Red Bull tastes like a mix between cough syrup and Faygo Rock ‘n Rye soda. It even left the same unremarkable aftertaste.

The caffeine buzz is nice, but I can easily get that from tea, coffee, yerba mate, and a number of better tasting sodas. Hopefully I don’t crash during class.
