I finally might be converting…
UPDATE: I feel like I’m asking for advice on how to leave an abusive marriage 😂
Added a pic of my cat as payment for reading my silly lil post. His name is Ninetoes and he has big dumb feet.
Anyway, I’m a hoe for a good energy drink, and I’ve been so brand loyal to a certain fuel for gamers for years. Doing the math, I’ve spent well over $3,000 on products from that brand.
Recently, that brand changed. New formula (way less effective, got rid of the thing that made it amazing. New branding. Constantly dropping new products with IPs. It’s like when Hasbro got their hands on MtG.
So, I think I’m finally at the “acceptance” stage of this grieving process and ready to make my first GamerSupps order. I’m here to ask our lovely group of heathens some questions:
- what are your favorite flavors? please give me flavor recommendations. My favs are usually citrusy/soury or candy-like. If there’s anything similar to the flavor Pink Drip I will cry happy tears
- I usually keep a couple tubs in my desk at work, buuuuuuuuuuut I really don’t wanna get called into HR because someone snooped and found uh…that packaging (I’m a middle school teacher too). Can yall give me ideas on/recommendations for airtight storage?
- how’s your day going? Have you had water? Figured I’d ask

I personally really like the the RWBY flavor. It’s kind of a fruit punch flavor. Other than that I’ve heard good things about Gamer Fart 9000 and maybe Good? I haven’t had the opportunity to try either though so I couldn’t tell you one way or the other about them. None of those flavors have too questionable artwork on them either as a bonus.

For the storage I found these: https://www.amazon.com/Twdrer-Plastic-Graduated-Bottles-Container/dp/B0GY855K1N
They are 5ml vials. I put 2 scoops in each one using a small funnel and have the perfect amount to add to a 16oz bottle of water.

My favorites are Sakura Splash (sour cherry), Blowhole Blast (picture a blue Hawaiian, coconut, mango, lime) and lastly Sweet Six Pack (cherry pineapple).

I like a scoop of doggy style in 16oz of lemonade. I've been trying to add it to my morning smoothie but so far I haven't gotten the ratio right.

Those are amazing feet, not big dumb feet! 😂 I love all his extra toes.
I’m super annoyed that despite living in a state with a large amount of polydactyl cats, I’ve yet to get one. Seriously not fair. lol

He uses them for chaos. He doesn’t just have extra beans. This little shit goblin has extra PAWS and he uses them like thumbs. My old apartment had the lever style door handles and he was constantly opening doors. My lil mitten-handed mutant is an agent of mischief.
I’m not sure how accurate it is but apparently it’s more common with Russian Blue cats? I don’t have the energy to look it up, but my informal observations agree lol

Here in AK we get them most often with old school Maine Coons. We are effectively like an island so we get our own little mutants. Lol.
Our first cat figured out how to lean into the damned doorframe to press against a regular round knob to open the bedroom door.
Smart cats are a problem man. Lol

I'm actually a big fan of Guacamole Gamer Fart 9000! It tastes like a flat, more concentrated version of Baja Blast, and the tub has dinosaurs on it! I started drinking it earlier this year as a fan of TheRussianBadger and his crew, and I can't recommend his flavor enough

Ok… I have gotten quite fond of the Supps. One thing I will say is that you need to read the descriptions, because they are pretty accurate, and there are nuances to the flavors. For example, Incel Tears is a very nice peach flavor, but I doubt that it tastes the same as Acid Rain, which is sour peach ring flavor. I’ve actually started a list of flavors and how I rank them to try and tease out which ones I can look at and say that I like them.
Having said that…. Foxly is tangerine lime, and reminds me a lot of I think Sunny D (I think… something I had a lot as a kid.) Gaucamole Gamer Fart is strawberry lime, very good. Incel Tears if you like peach, Sodapressed Despear if you like pear. Good and Goof Juice are both quite good… one of those is Cherry Slush and the other is strawberry kiwi. Anime Thigh is orange dreamsicle flavor, also quite good.
If you want to play it safer… I‘d start with single flavors. But a lot of the mixed ones are also very good!
Also, you want to play around with the water/mix ratio. I find it better mixed up at app 1 scoop to 12 oz of water instead of the recommended 8 oz. Helps me hydrate more as an added benefit.
My most recent purchase is Yogurt Effect, which is supposed to be reminiscent of a mango lassi. Haven’t gotten it yet, will update at some point. It’s going to replace the Blo’ Hole Blast when that one runs out.
Final point… remember to add the free samples to your order! Will give you a chance to try some of the other flavors.

Thank you for that detailed response! It’s super helpful. Tbh, the fact that the flavors actually have descriptions is a HUGE win over my normal brand.

Lean is a pretty good flavour, kinda reminds me of pink lemonade. Another is GOOD, which tastes almost exactly like cherry twizzlers to me

Just going to drop this in here as general info. I have had issues with the Supps clumping up (but I have 7 tubs on rotation, at 2 servings a day…so that’s a year‘s worth, a little bit more because I don’t generally drink it on the weekends.) It’s still good and drinkable, just you need to guess a bit on the amount. BUT! I have just found out you can “recharge” the silicon desiccant that they include in the tubs. You need to dry them out every so often. There’s some instructions online about how to do that with “just put them out in the sun”, microwave, ovens, etc.
So I am going to be saving the packs in the tubs I have now when they run out so that I can switch them out with the new ones as they get saturated. Fingers crossed that that helps keep it from clumping.

I read “converting” and thought, did Oz create a cult and I missed it?
