[QUOTE=elucidator] Nyquil. [/QUOTE] At first I was going to agree with you here, but then I remembered what happened the last time I took Nyquil. After tossing and turning with semi-nightmares for what seemed like 59 hours, I woke up in the middle of the night, paralyzed, not only with white hot fear, but in some sort of sleep paralysis. Then I heard the voice of God speak through my very soul. I can’t remember what He said – something like _‘you are the chosen one, blah blah blah’_ – but it scared the ever living shit out of me. Finally, I got my hand moving, then my legs, then I burst free of my divine imprisonment to wake up and take a leak. Next time I’m just taking Sudafed Non-Drowsy. ---

I think the thing that tipped me off to its suckitude was the name “Game Fuel.” How can it not taste like bong water and pizza grease? ---

Not to hijack, but I can’t stomach any flavor of Mountain Dew. Most of my friends drink it like it’s liquid crack, but to me, it just tastes sour… like sour ass sweat, or something. What’s so great about it? ---

[QUOTE=cmyk] Baja Blast is the best blue-green liquid you can pour into your body, and that includes Windex. [/QUOTE] You’ve obviously never tried a Blue Curacao and Midori cocktail. First your lips go numb, then you lose contact with your bodily extremities, and finally you puke turquoise. ---
