BOF Posted October 14, 2013 Moderator Share Posted October 14, 2013 generic use of word coke! I think Beefeaters and the like are usually PepsiHow about generic uses of the words 'Red Bull' when ordering a drink in a pub/club where you end up getting any one of several luminescent (probably radioactive) alternatives that taste vaguely similar to the original. But which cost the same and which the pub don't feel the need to tell you you're getting until it's too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Why do people generically say Coke when Cola could be used instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Drink anything with 'Redbull' and you're going to have a bad time. Pretty sure I've come dangerously close to a few heart attacks over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I used to drink the lidl version quite a bit. Reckon if you dripped some into a fish bowl the fish would sprout legs and leg it to San Jose during the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted October 14, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 14, 2013 You'd have to drink an obscene amount of red bull for the caffeine to actually kill you. The number is so high that you'd likely die of overdosing on water beforehand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted October 14, 2013 Moderator Share Posted October 14, 2013 You do hear of kids dropping dead drinking those drinks from time to time and I believe there are certain people who don't metabolise phenylalanine all too well. So it can be a case of 'take your chances' and expose a previously underlying issue. Hard to know really. They do certainly get the old ticker beating faster from experience.

StefanAVFC Posted October 14, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 14, 2013 Yeah I don't doubt that, but it's a common misconception that the caffeine is what gets ya!

There are many misconceptions about caffeine. A lot of people don't realise tea has plenty of it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted October 14, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 14, 2013 There are even misconceptions within that misconception though! People say crap like 'I don't drink tea because it has more caffeine than coffee'. True. What they fail to grasp is that the amount of 'pure' tea you are actually exposed to in a normal sized cup is far less than in a cup of coffee. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Interestingly (or not), I've recently found tea a better start to the day than coffee. I would have coffee an hour or so later, to get my arse into gear, but tea seems to be better first thing in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the bairn up for most of the last few nights, I'm willing to try narcotics to stay coherent during the working day at the moment! Bad times when a toddler has a cold. My class at school have commented on the bags under my eyes. They find it hilarious. Buggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
