3 Takeaways From an Energy Drink Blog

To wrap up these few months of blogging about energy drinks, I wanted to put a few thoughts down on paper about the whole experience thus far.

1)  I am greatly annoyed by people who get up in arms about the things other people like, for no other reason than to look down their noses at others for liking things they don't like. All my time looking for sources and articles to reference came across so very many anti-energy drink posts. Isn't there just so much more going on to be mad about than the person next to you slamming a Red Bull? At least I'm living in the U.S. where there isn't an up to %100 tax on energy drinks.

2) The market is flooded with stuff. Everyone who has an energy drink on more than a rare occasion has their favorite that they tend to stick to. Branching out and actively looking at other products and even brands makes you realize just how many dang energy drinks there are out there. Whats more is its more than just the drinks, caffeine powder, and water, and pills, and  gum for crying out loud. Now is the time to explore, find new ways to consume your caffeine, broaden your jittery horizons.

3) The market is changing, and there are good things on the way. Teenagers and 20 somethings are being focused on less and less by energy drink producers. That means we have less sugary, syrupy nightmares on the market. To replace these we will see more drinks that are actually pleasant for someone who has acquired a taste for bitter things, like coffee, and beer, and watching your childhood dreams crushed under the weight of reality.
