100 rants in 100 days
Posted by Cory Burell on March 27th, 2008 filed in 100 rants in 100 daysSo for those of you who know me I tend to find the wtf’s in the world pretty often. I won’t lie………I find alot of things out there fubar’d so for the next 100 days I will post 1 thing that pisses me off starting today.
100) So I head up to the store on downtime to grab a drink. Normally this involves a Mt.Dew and a honeybun just to get that extra boost for the last 3 hours of work. Taking a look around and wtf is this stuff. There is a full cooler door of energy drinks. What do you want………Red Bull, Monster, Mt.Dew, Rockstar, full throttle, and a slew of other brands all of which have 22 different flavors. Did you know that energy drinks brought in over 2.5 billion dollars last year?
Ginseng, Caffeine, Guarana, and a shitload of sugar. Woot lets party people. Do you remember when people told you coke was bad for you. Heres your wake up call. One 16oz can of Amp contains 58 grams of sugar! HOLY SHIT! I’m jacked just thinking about it. Now lets throw some crap in there that we can’t even pronounce and call it good for you. MORE ENERGY, SHARPER MIND, AND DON’T FORGET THE POSSIBILITY OF A 4 HOUR HARD ON when combined with vodka (assuming the girl doesn’t look like whale). While I applaud the industry for giving me exactly what I need to drink jager without the feer of dozing off can we just stop this garbage? I mean its crack. We banned ephedra from our diet pills but now you gotta look out for the pissy secretary with a case of withdrawls.
This may not sound like a rant but how about instead of pumping our bodies full of crap we eat an apple……..maybe even work alittle less. The world is so hyped up that it has no time to slow down. What happened to taking a long deep breath and just relaxing for a moment? What happened to sunday picnics after church and sleeping in on saturdays. In my opinion lets strip all this crap off the shelves and instead of running to the store on your afternoon break for a sugar saturated “crack in a can” drink you stretch, eat some fruit, and take a short walk.

does this mean we will now find hundreds of apple cores in your jeep rather than empty Mountain Dew bottles?
