Rockstar Energy Drink - Page 2

There are stories that he was once friends with Allen Ginsburg (true) and while not necessarily intimate engaged in behavior that would not meet with Savages standards now (Savage contests this part, saying letters in the Ginsburg archive are fake).

He was an active part of the North Beach scene until the early '80s. So even if he did nothing at all himself he was certainly tolerant of it.

Savage is a nut and energy drinks are bad. That is all.

Michael Savage is someone I have long despised. Hate is a strong word for me, but I have truly hated that man for years. He is a despicable pig. The sound of his voice, so smug and arrogant, spewing his vitriolic crap -- makes my skin crawl.

Ugh, me too as for how it keeps me awake. It also makes for some tasty mixed drinks (Cactus Coolers, anyone?)... And like your other comment, I now feel as though I've drank poison.

Michael Savage is disgusting and gives a bad name to the good conservatives out there, many of whom we know and love right here on the boards.

GC, I'm sure there are lots of LGBT clubs out there who have been unknowingly serving up the stuff. Maybe getting the word out will help get it off the shelves sooner rather than later.

Disney uses Rockstar at the Hearthstone and Lost Bar.

That will probably end later this year when Rockstar's distribution agreement switches from Coke to Pepsi.

I had no idea. Bummer; Rockstar was the one without high fructose corn syrup.

Won't be buying it any more, that's for sure.

I also have never tried an energy drink (Ok once - a Redbull & Vodka shot), but I saw someone drinking one today on the Shuttle and was curious and was going to give it a try. Not now, I'll pass.

I will be pulling them from Gn2Dlnd's shelves, too. As well as a couple of frozen burritos and some Sun chips, which I have heard some disagreeable things about.

^ Oh, I giggled. And heartily!

Just noticed that one of my fav sandwich shops carries this stuff. They know me and they seem like nice people. I printed out a flyer from the website to bring in. I'm hoping they're sympathetic.
