It's easy to hate Starbucks when you can't turn 45% without seeing two of them, especially in Seattle, but try working there and you'll come up with some really creative ways to hate them and want to make them die die dienow...
On the drinks matter, caffeine is nothing without some sugary flavour associated with it. My personal favorite: *generic energy drink* and Tang (Yes, that's right, Tang, like from SPACE). It's got 200% Vitamin C or whatever....

The solution is to work at a non-starbucks coffee shop
Do I just live in the wrong town? Every starbucks I've been to (NYC, Albany NY, and Bay Area CA) has pay to access wifi through t-mobile, with the exception of iTunes store access for free.

It changed in the past month.
Starbucks is now ATT.
If you have an ATT phone you get free wifi (2h a day, unlimited if you have a data plan)
If you have a starbucks prepaid card (any $$ on it) you get free wifi for 2h a day

This makes sense, what with the Starbuck-Apple and Apple-ATT alliances. So if i go in and buy a five buck gift card, and never use it, i get 2 hours of wifi a day? Bitchin.

Yup.
Or you could use it once and still have like 39 cents left on the card. You will still qualify for the wifi with it :P
I don't drink energy drinks very often, and got burned out on diet Rockstar pretty quickly after giving up RedBull. (There's also some pretty offensive stuff behind the makers of Rockstar so yeah) Anyway, now my preference is Low Carb Monster. Doesn't taste horrible, no wicked sugar/caffeine crash afterwards, and pretty easy to find.
Now I'd DEFINITELY like to try some Rootbeer Bawls.... Hmmmm

it better be good root beer flavor, there's a lot of bad root beer out there.
barqs? yeech.
Anyone ever have Vergil's root beer? now that's some good shit.
Just to be on topic, FRS is NASTY. I had to pour mine out when I tried it.

I actually like the taste of Barq's, and it has caffeine so theres a reason to drink it(Unlike trash like Mug and A&W which neither taste good or have caffeine) But yeah, its no Virgil's. Unfortunately the Stater Bros. here has stopped carrying Virgil's so we've been buying Henry Weinhard's instead and its similarly awesome. Also awesome is the microbrewed root beer served at BJ's restaurants.

You should give A&W from-the-tap a try. Almost completely different for some reason.
Mug and A&W are very sweet compared to Barq's Pepto-Bismol-ish taste. Maybe you just don't like sweet rootbeer. I have a feeling G33k B33r will be sweet.
Ever try Dad's Root Beer? I cannot find it in my area anymore.:x
On a separate beverage, http://www.drinkcricket.com/
Found this stuff in Leadville, Co. Almost bought them out.:!: It is gooood stuff.
Just about anything that uses Pure Cane Sugar instead of High Fructose Corn Syrup is tops in my book. Sure it is slightly more expensive, but it is worth it.

It doesn't, Barq's is tasty. Also, I remember Dad's that was fucking good. I also agree that any pop, not just root beer, made with cane sugar instead of HFCS tastes better.

Right on Moe! We used to have Dad's in the soda machine at my office but now, for some reason, we have Mug which can suck my Bawls. I'm totally looking forward to G33k B33r.
Maybe it's just me with the Barq's, seeing as how that's kind of the standard root beer that I've had a million times. It isn't bad, per se, I'd still drink it, but I'm getting awfully tired of it.
Then I had Virgil's and I was like HOLY SHIT.
But yeah g33k b33r will most definitely be sick.
Oh and yes Dad's is pretty good, there's a vending machine near where my dad works that has it (maybe, they might have taken it out).
I got a bottle of g33k b33r in the mail last week and had a chance to try it (I'd heard about the stuff back in January and asked for a sample). It is a tasty tasty drink! It has the zing of Barq's (comes from the caffeine no doubt) but more of a traditional sweet root beer taste. Taking a wild guess I'd say the sweetness is partly caused by the guarana. If you can find this stuff, I'd recommend it.

G33k B33r doesn't seem to be available in the 7-11 I get my Bawls from... Now to decide if its worth ordering a case from Thinkgeek, and paying the horrid shipping something that heavy incurs.

Of course now Bawls has put out 4 other products and it'll probably take another few years before they arrive.
I hate Canada.

rootbeer bawls
april fools joke or no?
Odds are yes. But I am betting they will start making it for real after getting their inboxes filled with requests to make it on the 2ed.
We needs our caffeine to do that much driving in two days.
Update.
Its a real product. I just got an email from them and im getting a case for a Lan sponsorship
Glad to be wrong then.
Yes, it is Rockstar. No, it does not taste anything like Rockstar. I am in the same boat as you, it has to taste good.
Watch your tongue, boy!
:winky:

I just remembered the Dad's ice cream I would buy and eat, in 3rd grade. Do they even make that any more?

I used to like it, but I could never finish a can of it without getting a headache for some reason. Only that brand.
Is it a type of root beer or beer beer?

Speaking of which: has anyone been hardcore enough to try the new "male enhancement" energy drink from ExtenZe?

Edit: It was not available across the street. This has now turned into an adventure.
