Mario and Donkey Kong Have Nasty Energy Drinks

Ah, energy drinks. A lot of gamers love them, but I don't quite grasp why. The post-buzz crash isn't worth it to me.

Tracey John at MTV Multiplayer seems to feel the way I do about energy drinks, and especially about the Mario and Donkey Kong-themed energy drinks available at the Nintendo World Store.

It should also be noted that while both cans state somewhere that they are not intended for children, only Power Up clearly says that its an energy drink; meanwhile, the name Donkey Kong Jungle Juice implies that it is actually juice, a favorite beverage among children (and certain twenty-something, energy drink-hating video game writers). ...

And as far as energy level, though I just finished about one and a half of the drinks, half the recommended daily dosage (Consume responsibly. Limit 3 cans per day, Power Ups can told me), I dont feel too energized at the moment. In fact, I have a growing headache and my teeth feel sticky.
