It tastes like burning
I shit thee not when I say that it actually tastes like burning in my mouth right now. In addition to that, I have blue teeth. Now, you may wonder how the hell I have that combination going on in my mouth right now. Wonder no longer.
So, yesterday the wife and I are at BevMo looking for Yoohoo since she saw it on Scrubs and must have it now. Well, it would appear that California is lacking in certain essentials like Yoohoo, so the search has been frustrating at best. A friend of ours called yesterday to say that she found Yoohoo at the local BevMo. We went there after work only to find that the Yoohoo they do have is Yooohoolyuglyhowlonghasthatbeensittingontheshelf? So, that sucked, but on the plus side, they have tonnes of other interesting drinks from which to choose. I picked up a carbonated choco drink that sucked. I also picked up some black lemonade. Apparently they want to wear a hole in your stomach with that stuff. And then, I picked up the Blue Brainwash listed above.
So, here is what is interesting about the drink (and why you should always, ALWAYS read the full list of ingredients before cracking one open at the tip-top of the morning): It has jalapeño oil and capsicum in it.
Now, normally, I am cool with all things jalapeño. However, that is usually true when I know that there is going to be jalapeño in whatever it is that I am eating. When reading the label at the store, I saw that there was caffeine in it, but didn’t really read any further since the lower listed ingredients are usually just color additives anyway. Noooooot this stuff. Here is what it has in it:
Carbonated water, High fructose corn syrup, Citric Acid, CAFFEINE, Natural & Artificial flavors, Blue #1, Herbal Blend consisting of: American, Siberian and Korean Ginseng, African Capsicum, Buchu, Echinacea, Jalapeño Oil, Ginko Bilboa, Ginger, Gotu Kola, Kola Nut, Brazilian Guarana, Skullkap (MadDog Weed), clove, Damiana, Sage, Sodium Benzate to preserve taste.
Oh, did I mention it stained the bottle blue? I didn’t drink much of it since, while taking sips on the way to work, I kept saying, “This really is spicy...wtf?”. For the more daring people out there, you should try this. I, for one, am not feeling too daring this morning.
