Nerd Energy Drink

Cal it Revenge of The Nerds Redux. There's a new energy drink on the market for those that don't want wings, don't want want to party like a Rockstar and don't care for a toot of Cocaine. It's called Nerd Energy Drink.

The folks behind the new beverage make all sorts of claims for their product on their web site. Not only is the new pick-me-up the "best tasting energy drink on the market," it also contains special ingredients to enhance mental focus and boost memory retention.

In addition to the usual cocktail of caffeine, B vitamins and amino acids Nerd contains DMAE, a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Nerd is the brainchild of Vinicio Montes a medical student who designed as alternative to other energy drinks that just made him jittery without giving him any mental clarity. I'm curious to know if anyone out there has tried this new mental tonic.

Rockstar energy drink: d'ya like the politics or no?

When reading about New Seasons Market in the New York Times, I came across a reference to Rockstar energy drinks and their highly conservative provenance. According to the Times, "Rockstar's chief executive is Russell Goldencloud Weiner, who developed the company with the help of his mother and his father, Michael Savage, the far-right talk radio host." Because of this, New Seasons won't sell the beverage.

I don't drink it because of the high fructose corn syrup, but now I'm considering changing my view to not drinking because of the politics. I did a little surfing and found several references to the "anti-immigrant, gaybashing, intolerant, hate-filled" rhetoric of Savage ("Facism Cola") and the connection between New Season's decision and that of my neighborhood co-op, People's, to stop carrying Oregon Rain water because Lars Larson was their pitchman ("Radio-Active Fallout").
