Meow House Theatre

I just had a Red Bull for the very first time. Completely unlike what I thought it would be. I had an image of some kind of viscous dark-colored, possibly coffee-ish tasting drink. Or something like one of those Atkins low-carb drinks. Something that might give me “energy” but would not be entirely pleasant to drink. I had the impression that they were not very good somehow, but people drank them because they got pepped up from them, so the assault on the taste buds was an acceptable trade-off. I’ve been meaning to try one of these energy drinks for a while now, because I had read a good article on staying awake and alert on long drives (and I drive round-trip from Boston to New York and back every Saturday) and this article had recommended an energy drink as opposed to just plain coffee or sugar-laden candy. It’s just that the idea of the taste was putting me off. But today I was getting lunch and I wasn’t really hungry and there was a cooler of Red Bull, just beckoning me. And I thought it was Time.

It’s actually like drinking liquid Smarties. And I adore Smarties.

I think I’m in love.
