so i was in whole foods today lookin 4 stuff to steal and i came across guru a "100% natural" energydrink that i thought was only available with sugar but now it turns out they make sugarfree so i drank 2 and waited around for 3 minutes to see what would happen...
you hafta realize it's so much easier to talk about somethin you love or h8 than it is to talk about something you could take or leave like guru. it's lyk when you meet a person and you'd hang out with them again if you saw them at the same pawty or somethin but yr not gonna like go call them all day every day. same with guru
so guru tastes vaguely grassy, almost natural in the way that orange soda almost tastes like real oranges. i think they put specific weird-tasting stuff in it to make you think its more natural or whatever. taste is a 3.5/5.
the long term effects of guru are barely differentiable from, say, red bull (or water), but the immediate buzz isn't really there. it sneaks up on you because your body has to extract the "natural" caffeine from some seeds or leaves or shit like that (i read the ingredients list) which means you don't start tapping yr foot or blinking a lot until about an hour after you drink. i'd recommend shotgunning the guru if yr dinner pawty starts in like 5 minutes and you really don't wanna be curmudgeonly. immediate buzz = nonexistent/5.
the long-term buzz is surprisingly pretty nice. i got jittery for about 7 hours (6 hours is typical i'd say) and my sense of adventure was heightened until i fell asleep about 10 hours after i'd drank it. one effect of guru is something that every sugarfree energydrink has but that i previously didn't think was appropriate for a forum as proper and respectable as this blog, which is that it makes you doodie. caffeine is a diuretic, and if you drink sum in the morning you'll feel empty and hungry by lunchtime. (sidenote isn't this part of why coffee is so popular? because it keeps you doodying on a regular schedule so yr hungry for meals at regular time rather than bloaty and uncomfortable? anywayz whatever)
finally, the availability of guru sugarfree is teh suck. you can only get it at whole foods for lyk $6.66 a can (really 2.49 or something cray-z like that) which is more than monster costs for 2x the amt. but if yr a gullible enough to believe that guru is any better 4 you than JOLT or monster because it says "100% natural" on the can that you buy from a store that has a leaf in its logo, go buy some guru & raise yr can up for me
final rating: 2.5/5 = mediocre because other energydrinks are better/more readily available/tastier/cheaper but let'z put it this way if i was alone on an island with only guru and a pack of vicious wild dogz i'd drink the guru and then jump off a cliff so i would feel energydrinks good but they couldn't eat me alive
