Okay I have to give my input about OC criticisms. Stuckup chicks, yea they are here, and everywhere else for that matter! Ever been to Dallas, Tx?
Plastic lifestyle…seen that in many places, not just OC.
So why does OC get the bad rap? TV, ofcourse.
I live in OC, RSM to be exact, and love it here. This is a really nice place. Bit on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for, and I think other places that are this nice would probably cost a lot more to live in.
Granted, the OC Energy drink is beyond stupid, much like Ashley Zarlin and her cohorts, but dont judge OC by the asinine behavior of a few. There are stupid people everywhere, and OC is no exception to that rule.
A conservative place, fun and relaxing to live in, I only have one complaint about OC…I get too lazy living here. And the girls, a bit on the young side (what they refer to as jailbait), the women, not good looking at all.
Well there’s always Laguna Beach…they’re not too young and even the older ones look pretty good. Just have to frickin’ drive all that way.

I have tried this, I thought it was pretty good. I got a pretty good kick from it, energy wise that is. None of the energy drinks that are good tatse that good, but this one isn’t bad. I also see they inked a 10 Mil deal with CVS, they must be doing something right!!!!

I have to agree with the author about the energy drink being nasty and stupid, it doesnt suprise me at all because it is what I expected. No way I would put that crap into my system.
However, I dont like the implications being put on OC. Yes there are spoiled rich kids here with problems but that doesnt make it a bad place, every place has its problem people.
I live in Laguna Hills, 10 min away from one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Laguna Beach which is world famous for its plush beauty. 10 min east is Coto de Caza, a laid back paradise out in the countryside, there is where I spend many Sundays in an all you can eat gourmet Champagne brunch followed by a long afternoon in the outdoor pools overlooking hill and mountainous countryside. Just met a fantastic girl at Coto who I really like, she is so nice and sociable and cool as hell.
On a sunny day, the scenery in OC is picture perfect and people here are really nice. Sure, you have the upscale strip malls, Italian icecream places, people driving BMWs, and under it all you really just see what looks like a middle class conservative society, people no different than anyone else in the rest of the country other than they live in a different place and do different things.
Stop ragging out on OC man, get over it, OC is a nice place and I love living here. And I can say that knowing that I am not originally from here because I am originally from Texas, so now you have an objective point of view.

FayeO should change his name to Redbull#1. As I have said before, the taste is not perfect but the energy is the best! No way did you get a shaking feeling from this product. Hey, everyone has a right to their opinion but to outright lie is a whole other story.

Anyways I was on BEVNET last week and OC energy says they have an “All new flavor”. I guess we will just have to wait and see. Until then, try to hide your bias, jaded views that lack any actual basis.

I would bet that FayeO would be hard pressed to get anyone besides Garrett, another Red Bull lackey, to back him up. Red Bull is so great that entire countries have banned its sale! Go think!

I totally agree! The OC drinks are really some of the worse tasting energy drinks I’ve tried. They also leave a nasty after taste for me. There was no energy boost for me either. The only result was a shaky feeling which took a long time to wear off..even with extensive excercise. I really can’t see it being around much longer. I drink Red Bull with good vodka and enjoy the taste. Don’t bother using good quality vodka with the OC drinks…it’s a waste. Nothing tones down the bad taste.

That’s what I freakin love about this site. You guys all tell it how it is, in your opinion. You never make any claims toward objectivity and you make your (slight) biases known. That’s why I’d honestly take your reviews and opinions over any *professional* site (who could just as easily be “sponsored,” aka paid off, as they could write an objective review). That’s why I have to laugh when grammatically challenged hotheads flame the experienced and educated for expressing their opinions.

And for the record, I neither love nor loathe the OC, I simply disregard its existence.

“To be excepted [sic] as a professional reviewer, it’s important to focus on the product.”

Well that gave me a good chuckle. This is a hobby site run in spare time. There’s nothing remotely professional about it…

WOW! Sounds like someone didn’t get to go to the OC High prom! That would explain the “bitter and jaded” I guess.
To be excepted as a professional reviewer, it’s important to focus on the product. They even sent you promotional material! Those Bastards! Imagine the nerve of a company sending someone they thought was an industry professional, information on their product and company -WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!

Dude, you need to maintain your objectivity. http://www.drinkaddict.com has given these products pretty favorable reviews, and even the industry standard, BevNet, has it listed as above average.
Yes, it’s something new, it’s not carbonated, so unlike most other products, there’s no bloating, and it comes in a bottle that you can put the cap back on if you don’t want to drink it all. I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. The reason there are more flavors than vanilla is that not everyone is going to like the same thing.

Best wishes,
Greg
