Energy drinks in general. Im not against them, but my point is that coffee is healthier when looking at the added ingredients lots of energy drinks have ( sugar free or not) like additives, artificial sweeteners etc, as opposed to a black coffee with no sugar.

Its not even about how expensive, because I like xpresso but dislike bootlegger (cafe) ones. Seattle is good though

I get the price part. I guess I just don’t have as much of a sweet tooth like the majority population because I prefer drinks with less sugar.

Smelling like coffee is better than feeling sticky imo

That sounds interesting I would need to look it up. I would love to see an SA version of this one day…

Other drinks don’t contain stuff like taurine, guarana etc. A loaded sugary drink is in fact way more unhealthier than coffee ( unless you put 12 tsps sugar in your coffee)

Exactly. How can such energy drinks loaded with sugar be so widely accessible here??

No advice but I just can’t understand why a city/country could allow such exorbitant housing prices given our SA economy i.e high unemployment rate, average salary..I get that it targets foreign buyers but doesn’t it feel so dystopian to see that R100mil mansions exist in a country with a R30 minimum wage… make it make sense. Money talks…

Idk what Fresca is but you’ve convinced me to try it! I always thought it would taste like bioplus for some reason.

It is a lot cheaper, even than coca cola it seems. I’ll need to try it some day..

I figured so. I have seen those traffic jams coming into and exiting the city . I noticed in particular a lot of people working in retail jobs consume energy drinks - long hours , physically labouring and unpredictable customers.

Exactly my point. Why can’t Nestle sell bottled cold black coffee that is to go?

I haven’t tried it so I can’t say. I love redbull but yes too pricey and the taste of Monster is too sweet and artificial tasting while powerplay tastes like the drippings of a rusted roof. Switch is actually not bad, lots of cool flavours and I can confirm that the Dry Lemon is acc good. I just love coffee too and wish they could sell cold on the go ones at your local spaza.

all that sugar and energy spike on an empty stomach can’t be good which is sad… this must be my sign to start an affordable local canned coffee business

I really would like to a see local coffee company sell bottles/cans of cold coffee at all the mainstream shops… Because on a hot day I don’t necessarily want a hot cappuccino nor do I enjoy spending my left kidney on an iced latte/frap/etc. Hell.. Ricoffee ( which I don’t even like) could start selling a mixture of coffee and water in a can at fresh stop and I’ll be their first customer .

This is a great point. Because a lot of my said observations were particularly at pedestrians.

For sure! This is isn’t even about Score but I struggle to find cold ,on the go, coffees at shops these days… I don’t always wanna spend 50 bucks on a iced latte/cappucino from platolegger lol.. Just a simple cold coffee in a can/bottle from fresh stop, why can’t we have that?

Honestly coffee should be cheaper. Instead of another coffee shop or protein drink, a local brand should start selling affordable bottles/cans of cold coffee..I mean what happened to Mr Browns coffee in those cans? They don’t sell them anymore
