Bawls Withdrawal

edited September 2004 in PAX Archive
Anyone else out there really, really really wanting a few bottls of bawls right now? I'm thinking that I'm gonna have to go out and buy a case, cause that stuff was magical. I never drink pop or any caffeinated drinks pretty much, since they always tasted shitty to me, but that shit kept me up 36 hours straight from drinking 1 1/2 bottles.

Go Bawls!

    Head on over to CompUSA. They usually sell 12packs of it.

    If it weren't for the fact that Bawls is so unbelievably delicious I'd shoot it up through a mainline IV.

    CompUSA overcharges. If you can hold out through the shipping time you can buy it by the case for $21! Link courtesy of Red Machine D.

    Dude... They charge $21.31 for the fucking shipping. UPS ground.

    The case of bawls would cost you $42.30.

    CompUSA sells 12packs for $14.99 last I checked...

    :shock: Damn! I probably should have mentioned that they're based in Phoenix. Since I can drive to their brick and mortar, and save myself the shipping fee, I never bothered checking how much it would cost to UPS/FedEx a case.

    If I'm in a particularly lazy mood they deliver locally for only $6 extra...

    16.99 for a 12 pack at COMPusa is pretty much the cheapest I can get... since online has obscenely expensive shipping rates, and I dont know anywhere else to buy my Bawls at.

    I bought 2 cases for $36


    If i was to buy one case online (which would be the same amount of bawls as buying 2 here) it would cost me $27 + $20 MINIMUM for shipping

    So uh compusa rocks i guess

    Truth be told...I'm okay with not drinking bawls. I didn't like the taste of it. So, I only had about 3 or 4 over the two day period.....even though between six of us, we bought two cases.

    BLASPHMEY!!!

    Wait... are you talking about the sugar free bawls or the regular blue bawls?

    I agree that the sugar free tastes like shit but the regular is like... spicy sprite :P

    Try at all, the only drink I w/ caffeine I ever have is hot chocolate after skiing. I've always hated the taste of Sprite/Coke/all of those drinks, but I needed to stay awake for PAX, so I had a few things of Bawls, and now it actually tastes good :P

    You should give the energy drink "Omega" a shot. Pretty good taste for an energy drink. most of the other ones taste like ass, although certain ones like redbull are an aquired taste.

    When I was playing WoW last week, all I could think about was "Damn, I could really use a bottle of Bawls right now." I found one place nearby that carried it after I went to PAX, and after I bought their one and only bottle, they said they weren't able to find anymore! I'll have to try CompUSA though, even though their stores are for shit and its a 20-30 minute drive.

    I picked up a couple cases at CompUSA tonight. The price is a bit high, but it's still cheaper than having them shipped to Texas. I'm on number 6 right now. I started vibrating during the middle of Resident Evil. It was kinda cool.

    I think I now know why caffeine drink makers want to hand out free bottles, they've already made back all their costs and more, since I'm now a lifetime addict :P

    Sounds like plenty of people were wired during PAX.

    Pffft, to think that one of the guys I went with wanted to bring caffeine pills. Those would've been sooo not necessary.
