Most teenagers are familiar with the many brands of energy drinks: Monster, Nos, Amp, Red Bull, and Full Throttle. But, is the name really the important subject when it comes to energy drinks? On the surface these energy drinks may seem harmless. Yet, a name often "fits" the item.
For example: Monster - are you willing to consume a liquid that perhaps my create a Frankenstein? Or what about Nos...is this a chemistry term or just some crazy name for a sugar-caffeine filled drink - I asked several "advanced" folks...no one knows!!!! Amp makes perfectly good sense to most of us - a measurement of electricity is what I have been told.. Hmm again, do I need to electrify myself?? And Red Bull - well the color red is aggressive - and Bulls charge at red..well, OK... I can be rather bullish sometimes. AND last but not least... Full Throttle - silly.... a car punched, headed down the highway - with the song..Bad Boys, Bad Boys....screaming from the speakers.
SO in the end...a name does fit the subject. What if I drank them all at the same time..then I would become a raving Electrified Red Bull traveling at Full Throttle with extremely loud Amps which have been Nos 'ed up for the day!

Here I am sitting at a computer in Annie L.. Awbrey Public Library. I'm browsing the web trying to come up with something random to post on this page when-BAM!!! - something catches my eye. When I'm intrigued by something, I have a tendency to start rubbing my chin as if I were some mad scientist. I'm rubbing and looking at this object when-OUCH!!!- I feel a little tug on my chin that stung quite a bit. I feel around on my chin when I come across "IT"-my first chin hair. I've been waiting for this moment for so long. I have already grown tired of the little amount of "peach fuzz" above my lip. All I've ever wanted was a goatee. However, Mr. Genetics makes me wait until today to begin my goatee process. It's okay though. As long as I transform into a handsome young man, I will be just fine. Damien Harris Random Black Guy
