Despite being the poorest country in the western hemisphere, Haiti still manages to get its fine beverage on. For liquor, their most notable is Barbancourt Rhum, which unfortunately, their factory suffered some serious setbacks during the January earthquake that rocked the small Caribbean country and killed over 200,000 Haitians. They lost quite a bit of rum and the factory sustained some serious damage as well.
The most dominate seems to be energy drinks. Toro (their marketing looks pretty similar to Red Bull), Gladiator, Atomic, Ragaman, etc. The list goes on and on, but they love their energy drinks and the trash of empty bottles strewn throughout the streets makes this evident. They don’t taste nearly as good as ours and they’re pretty syrupy, with the main ingredients being water and granulated sugar. Continue Reading »
Math doesn’t lie people, and the equation on this poster says it all: time travel IS possible, you apparently just need to make a cocktail with an energy drink, Crystal Pepsi in a label-less prototype glass bottle, and squirrel juice, then drink the magical elixir in a hot tub to travel back in time to the ’80s when Parker was king and Crystal Pepsi hadn’t happened yet.

I gave the fine people at Monster Beverage Co. a chance. After hearing about their shameless attack on Rock Art Brewery’s Vermonster, I called Monster up to get their side of the story. They told me they couldn’t comment, but they would send me a statement. They didn’t. Fools. Continue Reading »
Yup. Pepsi is playing hardball with their AMP iPhone app that not only helps guys get laid, but also lets them keep track of their victories. An iPhone is for data storage, is it not?
According to AdWeek’s article on “Should Pepsi Pull Its Amp App?“:
“The NC-17 rated application offers pick-up lines, strategies for picking up married women, a scorecard for sexual conquests and other edgy content.”
The craziest part of this story is that while people have gotten very worked up over this, and while Pepsi has apologized, the app remains available to buy. Continue Reading »
