OCUK Energy Drink... What's the story behind it?

davido_labido · 14 Oct 2012 at 07:54

ive had it at lans before, i thought it was rebranded stuff with the ones that we had having a sticky label on the cans rather than a printed label.

it was wet (always a good sign in a drink imo)
it had taste ( cant remember if it was good or bad)
it was in a can.
it may or may not have kept me awake for longer.

you get better results from it if you drink it from a official overclockers mug, (i hear it almost doubles the effectiveness) i didnt have one with me so alas, i coulkdnt test it!

But are there compatibility issues with the mug? I'll wait till the drivers are sorted.

Ahhhhh you want to triple SLI that mug for the best effectiveness...

There are severe stability issues when trying to SLI three mugs and use them all at once

Are you using the supplied GForce Straws though to increase the FPS (flow per suck)

I remember when I was 14 and my Tagan power supply went bump, they allowed me to pop into their office in Telford with my late father and treated me like royalty.

Received a new Tagan PSU (obviously upgraded), a Tagan hat, Tagan energy drink (the reason why I'm telling this story, lol) and some other bits and pieces.

That bad boy is still going strong on my Core i7 920 rig, 8 years later of 24/7 use.

Could have just walked to the shops.

I could have and I could have spent 35p for the same taste..... but this said OCUK on it

The fact it's OcUK makes it so much better. The 35p can from the shop, even in an OcUK mug, it's still not as good as the OcUK one. I think it's the faulty OCZ SSd is what tops it off!!

I doubt that somewhat. Selling 98p energy drinks is hardly an enterprising idea to make more money for a company that shifts plenty several hundred or even several thousand pound orders every day.

Its so they can drink them all day long at work and call it "product testing"

This seems far more likely
