The energy drink of Sisyphus

Posted in Unwarranted criticism on June 27, 2009 by brunswick

I found some on-sale Relentless, which is on the way out, and tastes the same as its replacement, Mother. Thankfully the branding isn’t as gynophobic, although the labelling warns:

It’s goodbye to the shortcuts, hello to the grind. Nobody said it would be an easy ride. Suffer for your art.

Which is a cheerful way to start the day, isn’t it? That deathless paragraph also has a TM sign on it, although I’m not sure why you’d want to legally protect it. Maybe it’s to stop Weta Workshop from engraving it above their main entrance.

Amusingly, although the can is 440mls, you’re advised not to consume more than 500mls daily. Which means you can drink 1.12 cans a day. Although the second can might’ve gone flat by morning.
