A parent of a preschool child donated a case of “health drinks” to one of the teachers the other day. It looked as innocuous as all the other vitamin and herbal drinks that are ubiquitous here. A few minutes after chugging one (they don’t taste too good, kind of like watery triaminic), I started wondering what I had just drank 2000mg of. Between Kate’s command of Korean and my high level of google literacy we were able to track down a couple of the ingredients on the back of the bottle. First, there’s 2000mg of Taurine, an amino acid that’s in Red Bull although Red Bull only packs 1000mg. Next up, nicotine. Yup, drinkable nictoine, about three cigarettes worth. Oh and the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee. Let me tell you, Red Bull aint got nothin on Bachus D. The whole office was high as a kite all afternoon, talking a mile a minute and giggling like lunatics. Drive your energy indeed!
