\"Rockstar<\/a><\/p>\n

“Party like a rockstar,”\u009d is the slogan of the Rockstar Energy Drink and that’s exactly what I tried to do last night at the 50th review party.<\/p>\n

Prior to the party, I watched the Guns N’ Roses and Def Leppard VH1 Behind the Music specials. I did this so I could find out how rock stars party. Unfortunately, the Impulsive Buy doesn’t have access to cocaine, large amounts of alcohol, groupies, or big hair. <\/p>\n

Nonetheless, we had one crazy 50th review party last night. <\/p>\n

Between you and me, it was so crazy that I’m glad no one took pictures. I don’t want scandalous pictures floating around, just in case I plan to run for public office. <\/p>\n

I’m also glad we found a use for that pole in the middle of The Impulsive Buy laboratory. Okay it wasn’t US who found a good use, it was a busty Asian girl that my friend hired named Candy. Let me tell you, she was very flexible.<\/p>\n

It was a long night and I’m glad I tanked that Rockstar Energy Drink, or else I wouldn’t have made it through the evening and I wouldn’t have had enough energy to write this review.<\/p>\n

Okay. Okay. None of that happened. There was no party. There was no alcohol. There was no busty Asian girl named Candy. I just wanted to make it seem like the life of a quasi-review blog editor was exciting, like the editors of other blogs (Like this one<\/a> and this one<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Instead my night was spent watching The Daily Show on Comedy Central and MXC on Spike TV. Then I wrote this review and went to sleep. <\/p>\n

Although, I really did drink a Rockstar Energy Drink and I have to say, all of these energy drinks pretty much have the same sweet and tart taste. I guess they come so close because they’ve got almost the same stuff: Taurine, guarana, inositol, and other things that I have trouble pronouncing.<\/p>\n

Another thing that bothered me about Rockstar Energy Drink is that there’s something communist-looking about the can. It looks like a Russian graphic designer designed it during the Cold War. <\/p>\n

Maybe it’s just me. <\/p>\n

Or maybe it’s not just me. On the side of the can, there’s an American flag<\/a> with the words \u00e2\u20ac\u0153American Made\u00e2\u20ac\u009d under it. If the can wasn’t communist-looking, would it have that American flag? I don’t think so. <\/p>\n

Item:<\/b> Rockstar Energy Drink
