New Energy Drink In Aus To Rival Red Bull

[seanisonfire]

Has anyone tried this new drink 'Samedi'? i had never heard of it until today when i walked into a deli in guildford and spotted it.. bought 4 cans.. one for myself and the rest for the boys at work! It tastes AWESOME!! we were all enjoying it while it was going down.. but no long after finishing.. we all felt pretty ill!! head spins, head aches, feeling sick! it was really strong!!

i thought that i would do a bit of research on 'samedi' when i got home to see if other people have experienced similar effects to what we all had! there isnt alot of info on it... its not meant to be released yet.. still another month or something!! but the info i found was a little scary!! there have been no consumer reviews as of yet..

here is what i found

- Samedi Says...

<H3></H3>

When you name an energy drink "Samedi" after the Voodoo spirit Baron Samedi (a guy with the ability to awaken the dead) you've got to respect the super-natural power that you're dealing with. The ad team have actually been over to New Orleans and participated in ceremonies summoning Him.

Baraon Samedi or Papa Guédé is a Loa or a spirit in the Voodoo faith. He is the patron of parties and er oticism and also a shepherd of death residing at the crossroads and is also linked to resurrection.

so does anyone else think this is strange?? its weird how all my workmates and me reacted the same to it

it would be interesting to see if anyone else game enough to try it will experince the same!??!

[xtc]

i actually have tried that but a long while ago...think it was out 6 months ago...that and b52 are pretty good.

[-Dukes-]

Some drinks have that effect on some people, a mate of mine can't drink a B52 without spewing, but I agree it's weird that it happened to everyone, lol

*cough* voodoo *cough*

[hoony]

B52 is great

cheaper than V and Red Bull and tastes just as good

the new Mother is pretty damn good too, old one tasted like fart in a can

[SCR34M]

dude, you drank fart in a can?

thats like eating pieces of s#$t for breakfast... yuuuuk!!!....lol

[hoony]

everyone's had fart in a can, don't act like you haven't man

you all know what i mean

[Marco-R34GTT]

V sugar free FTW chaps!

[Stealthed]

It is werid that you all had the same reaction so im just going with "cursed" lol

I personally like 'Red Eye' i think its awsome if anyone has had the chance to try that
