I can't think of a thing that would do for you what the pepper drinks do for the Planet Pirates series people! Not a thing! Powerade? nothing the same!! Guarana drinks? only give a burst of energy etc...

Redbull sounds about right, but thats an alcoholic drink, isn't it? I didn't think that peppers were.

It's not alcoholic. It's being used as a mixer though, so you get hyper drunks now.:tilt:

hmm Red Bull gives you wings!! has been around for ages over here, and it's just like all those other pick me up drinks (V is my fave but I think because it's NZ made LOL oh yeah, it tastes the best too, :D ) I hear Irn bru is good but haven't tried it and I think that these drinks don't do the same thing a pepper restorative would...

There are drinks like Nutriment and I-can't-think-of-the-name-at-the-moment drinks that are for convalescing peeps that might come close.

There might be drinks that have a lot of nutrients in them, but I doubt they have the pick-me-up that startled Lunzie the first time she drank one.

There is a carbonated beer, but C2 is a form of Coca~Cola, I thought.
Red Bull gets my vote for a Pepper drink!

Good question. I think any drink that put you full of pep would qualify. :devil: It doesn't have to taste like Dr Pepper, fortunately.

Even the diet version!
I never got a huge buzz out of these drinks anyway! :roll:

I think the pepper drinks were described as crisp, I'd imagine them leaving a fresh taste in your mouth, not unlike that of brushing your teeth, but not minty :laugh: whereas I find those energy drinks mentioned more kind of tangy(some of em make my lips pucker - especially after brushing teeth :crazy:), and gluggy (phlegm causing?) and too sugary!

There is that pepper vodka. And for a while I was on this special "cleansing" diet and you started every morning with a "liver flush" drink: One grapefruit, one orange, one lemon, 1 T olive oil and 1 T cayenne pepper, all blended up. Actually, it tasted pretty good.

when that happens, I guess i"ll just have to yawn with the best of them. I detest coffee, so tea would be the only one I'd miss

I was thinking of a Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb super charged somehow. Add a few no does to it. But thas caffine.
