Purple Stuff: Energy Drink Review



When I first saw a poster for "Purple Stuff," I had to tweet about it. Secondarily, I had to text my friends that make racist jokes -(in excellent taste)- so they could have a decent laugh.

I confess that "Purple Stuff" is a name that grabs the attention, so I commend the marketing designers, and the colors stand out over other cans on the energy drink shelves. However, how does this product compare in terms of taste and quality?

Well, I have only myself to blame for ignoring the obvious and purchasing something called "Superliminal." It had a silly name, and I am a silly goose of a human being. The problem was that I assumed that every product bearing the name "Purple Stuff" would actually be purple, regardless of lemon or lime flavor...after all Pepsi had Pepsi Blue and Crystal.

This was not purple at all.

The taste was not exciting. It did not have the stark bites of certain drinks such as "Full Throttle" in the past. Even "Red Bull" has a certain distinct flavor that is able to grab the attention of the consumer, for better or for worse. Carbonation was not overpowering, which I liked, but it lacked enough flavor and strength for total satisfaction.

In the end this was just rather dull.
On the shelf next to all other energy drinks, this one actually boasts the abilities of "calming" effects instead of serving as a hyperactive enhancer. Overall, it had about as strong of a reaction as a can of sprite. In other words "dull."

Will I buy this product again?
Probably.
Why?
Because it is amusing. :P :P
It's a shallow world.

How often do you drink purple Kool-Aid?

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members  or  stress over where to eat Christmas dinner.  Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

"High Tide, Storm Rising" - Skinshape

A new Skinshape LP is on the way as of October 28th! "Nostalgia" promises to delve into the world of motives and motifs. Will Dorey (AKA Skinshape) has described this particular track "High Tide, Storm Rising" as "the main theme song of a movie." And if you have read any of my prior posts, you know I'm a sucker for anything cinematic.  Here's a full look at the Skinshape "Nostalgia" track listing: 01. Theme For Lazarus 02. Better Chances 03. Dreams of Panama 04. Moonlight Walk  05. Albion 06. High Tide, Storm Rising 07. Turn Away 08. Bohanon's Cornucopia 09. Bad Dreams 10. Fish & Chips 11. Dawn I would try to include something about live shows, but the soulful likes of Skinahape simply prefer to record and NOT perform live, which is an interesting choice in today's world.  Once again, "Nostalgia" is out everywhere as of Oct. 28th.
