VPX Bang
Rob et. al VPX Bang addicts...WTF is in this stuff. It's awesome. Other than creatine and bcaas I don't see anything to differentiate it from a normal energy drink. Maybe it's placebo but I've had a few over the last week and can actually tell a difference and energy, mood and focus. Fwiw, I have a high stim tolerance so I know it's not just caffeine, as I take other caffeine supps throughout the day. I think I'm hooked. And the girl who works at the store I've been grabbing them from while I'm out isn't half bad either. (Not too many options in that department in Fayetteville)

Not placebo - the ingredient causing all of this great body and mindfeel is glutamine.

I work at a Gold's and we sell this. I have one daily. They are amazing. We only sell the Blue Raspberry and Lemon Drop, I prefer the BR
-
It's still 357 mg of caffeine in that. That's a lot regardless of stim tolerance.
-
It's just an alternative energy drink and I <3 it :)

It's 300mg
The label on bb.com store page is out dated it's been 300mg for while now but all of the cases I have bought have all said 300mg per can

I'm sure you say that in jest..

I get them when I go to Harris teeter because there's a gnc next door. Get some strange looks walking around drinking what appears to be a tall boy, and the person at the register always asks if I got it in store, which I reply no, you don't sell them.
Also, I bag my own groceries. Anyone else do this? I get pissed off beyond belief at the dumb way people bag groceries. Meat not separated or put in with veggies, cold and hot mixed, bread and eggs put in with heavy stuff like cans etc. makes unloading at home a good 30 minutes quicker.

I try to bag all my own stuff always :X same reasons

TBH I'm not sure what it is that differentiates Bang. I don't know if VPX has perfected the amount of magnesium, B vitamins, CoQ10, etc to add - or if it's just a great tasting energy drink with creatine and BCAAs that makes the bros go crazy.

It's just an energy drink the rest is in small amounts or so I am led to believe recall that BANG is an extension of their fat burner RTD which I also like Redline and Redline extreme - BANG is more or less a tasty higher caffeine version of that without the Y.
I love how BANG tastes and it costs me the same or less than other energy drinks such as Monster Ultra Zero & Rockstar juiced for example all while having more caffeine which for my caffeine tolerance is nice.

Aware, but still don't seem to crash off higher amount of caffeine in bang vs other drinks. Riddle me that.
-
obvious difference is that bang has 2x the ammount of caffeine in most energy drinks...
-
[QUOTE=Msistine;1389436303]Aware, but still don't seem to crash off higher amount of caffeine in bang vs other drinks. Riddle me that.[/QUOTE]
maybe the higher amount of b vits, compared to other energy drinks... and less sugar as well
-
[QUOTE=Gwyndane;1389436563]maybe the higher amount of b vits, compared to other energy drinks... and less sugar as well[/QUOTE]
I don't crash off 300-500mg caffeine so I assume as much lack of sugar was my guess for some

Haha, I always strategically put all of my stuff up there in the exact order I want it bagged.we also usually try to pick only cashiers that we know are good.
-
Never tried bang, but i'd like to. Not sure if it's not up here in Canada or just not aroun the places I shop.
As far as groceries, I prefer to let the other people bag them. More self bagging is less people working. If the order was an issue, I would do what NebinAk does. And I can't imagine it taking anyone 30 minutes to unload groceries.
-
Thanks for the BANG love. I'm pumped for the new flavor :cool: I know y'all are too.
-
It's good stuff. The red one tastes like sweet tarts. Inexpensive too

They are my favorite energy drink. Glad to see they are still being produced, and sold in stores! I'll look out for the new flavor.

Same here. BR is my favorite.

They are my favorite by a long shot as well guys, and a forum favorite for good reason. My wife and I both have one daily on most days.
As Rob said, all cans used to be 357mg caffeine (iirc), but some laws were passed in FL (HQ operates out of FL) that limited the amount they could use so each can now has 300mg. Still about double the caffeine content of every other energy drink on the market.

I was being somewhat sarcastic. I am dumbfounded by the way I've seen stuff bagged though. Bread with canned goods in the same bag? Also, does fresh market think having one register open at ALL TIMES and having a line back to the meat section make them more exclusive or something?

Agreed, but there are people who let their children drink these type of drinks, or those who have pre-existing heart conditions that drink energy drinks and die... that's why laws come about. 300mg still gets the job done for me though, love me some stims!

I agree the 300 mg still does get the job done.

My all time favorite energy drink, really the only one I buy anymore

I'm hooked on Starblast aka strawberry. I was getting them for 1.25 each the other day
