Personally I have in more recent times avoided both. Has anyone tried powerbars? I'm not normally one for spending on fancy non-necessities but got a load of these once whilest working at the shop and they seemed to do well.

Interesting. I have found with energy drinks the same; one mental burst of energy and thats it. I have heard for coffee that it peaks you for a while and then leaves you worse off after (for keeping awake while driving anyway). Not as drastic as red bull though!

Surely the producers of those products would have tested them for effectiveness before they hit the shelves?
