So I'll be content to have more than two colors to work with. thanks, Bob I agree about the red bull taste thing, I wanted to make a fish for that contest but determined I would never get enough cans in time to enter.

(Then again, I don't drink any sort of caffeinated beverage and don't like soda much, either, so it's a definitely hard sell.) As I'm a college student, I either see people who guzzle these down like candy--every few hours, or those who think its a good idea to drink it combined with alcohol. (Annoyingly, the stereotype of college drinking stands. There was a guy down the hall who drank every night and so often, that his liver started to ache regularly. He also failed his classes.) I do not know how it is with other generations, but many people my age are always seen with an energy drink in hand. An acquaintance of mine is never seen without soda--his bag is always full of the bottles. It's nice to see they're supporting the arts, however. I’ve never liked Red Bull either.
