NOT. They appear to be just trying to criminalise kids now through marketing. I wouldn't buy this drink or allow my kids to drink it - in the same way I would not let my children buy the clothing range, marketed for tweenies, that had text on it saying: "100% b*tch" or "Future Porn Star".

Theres a deodorant on the market which glamorizes tagging must have good look next time I'm at the supermarket - can't remember who makes it - but the can looks like a paint can and has tagging on a wall on the outside. Also theres one of those high energy drinks which has marijuana leaves all over the can - companies out to make a buck regardless of the messages they send out.

It's irresponsible when you consider the market they are targeting.
I have the occasional V. It's the only energy drink I have. My mother was babysitting my then 6 year old daughter and her cousin, they conned grandma into buying a drink and guess what they picked - V !!!! Miss 6 knew she was not allowed it but took advantage of grandma not knowing an energy drink from a juice!!!

LOL, bottlecar. The little blighters. Ours aren't allowed to drink energy drinks and Coke. I found out from a friend that they used to have Coke at her place and say they were allowed it ... Hmmmmm.

I have to admit I've had a few bottles of one called Hemp. Bought because it was in a bottle, rather than a can, so I could keep it in the fridge for a few days .. can't drink too much all at once. The dairy no longer sells that brand, probably taken off the market because of the name.

I use to drink them for that boost, but I'd fall asleep. Didn't realise I was type 2.

Yep it does, nice and sweet tasting too. Didn't do a lot in the 'giving me wings' dept, but I think that is just another advertising gimmick. Or maybe I drink my coffee so strong, the caffeine in those drinks have no effect ;D
