T & A Energy

I enjoy having an occasional energy drink. Lost used to be my very favorite, but I happened on these 24-ounce cans, and I'd drink the whole one of those down (seemed like a waste to not finish it) and I'd be sick of it by the time I finished. Classic case of too much of a good thing!!!



Rock Star is one of my top favorites. They actually have it in one of the machines at work. One of my favorite things to do is go to Big Lots or or 99 Cents Only stores and see what kinds of strange things they have in that category. One flavor I originally found at 99 Cents Only was this Ace energy drink. They had only a lo-cal one when I first found it, but I later found the regular. I really like the art on the cans, the whole can is painted to look like a WWII bomber, complete with random bullet holes, and the nose art as the logo. It tastes pretty decent, too.



Last week I stopped into Big Lots on the way home (if they have it in stock, the usually have the original Ace for 60 cents a can, versus 99 cents at the 99 Cents Only, and I buy at least a dozen every time I go) and they had a new brand there. Hooters energy drink. I had to buy a few, just to try it out. I took one to work on Friday. The guys at work liked the artwork on the can. Unfortunately, the flavor wasn't near as good as the can art. Of the two, I think I'll stick with Ace.

I also found it interesting that my favorite flavor, the original, has the artwork with the redhead on it!!! You know, I really love the red haired girls!!!

GET LOST!!!

This was quite cool. When I got home last night, my younger boy was quite emphatic that he wanted to go to the 99 Cent store. He wanted to get some candy from there, and after a little bit I agreed to go. I usually enjoy going there, and find a few things I can't pass up. This time was no exception, and I was very glad that I'd gone. My favorite energy drink is Lost, but it seems very hard to find anymore. They used to sell it at the new (not really so new anymore) grocery store, but not anymore. I used to get it from the liquor store by my old work, but that's not exactly convenient anymore. About the only place I can find it is at this one gas station near my parents' house. There it was, at the 99 cent store!!! Not only is the price much better than the $2.50 that it usually costs, but these were BIG GUN cans (which I'd never seen before, 24 ounces versus the usual 16)!!! Nice!!! I bought nine of them, nearly all of their stock.

In the front of the picture, you may notice a little bowling ball. The inspiration for the photo. He also got a cheap little bowling game, which ties in with bowling night with my work. Not as many people showed up this time, but it was still a lot of fun. I did pretty well on the first game, bowled 103. My game went downhill from there, but it was fun. The fear factor contest, all they had was people facing off against each other and competing to see who could eat things faster. Four of the five were baby food, and the fifth was bread, which was the hardest for anyone to get down, and the most fun to watch.
