Rocket Fuel

It was Friday night. I had been up since 7am that day, had driven just under 100 miles to Norwich and back (more on that later this week I hope). BUT, it was the weekend, and I wasn't working.

On the way back from Norwich, I thought I'd stop by Asda to grab some magazines and stuff. While in there, I remembered my old house officer Grant. He had mentioned that he had had this coffee called Rocket Fuel, and it was great. But he hadn't seen it in the shops for ages.

I had a quick look and there it was, in instant coffee format. So I grabbed a jar and left.

Later that evening, I had a mug of the thing. As a coffee it tastes OK-ish, more like a cheap Kenco than a Gold Nescafé (My favourite instant). I had it with some milk and no sugar (As I like coffee), but it left a funny after taste in my mouth, needing some sugar to make it better.

Not thinking too much of the coffee, we went out to see Ratatouille (great film) and have some dinner at ASK.

And then it kicked in.

At about 00:30 that night, I was WIDE AWAKE. Not just wide awake, but wide awake and wanting to DO SOMETHING. ANYTHING. And that's when I went on the PC and saw Fuji on xfire, and ended up playing/talking with him till 04:00! And even then, after he'd gotten sleepy (after all, it was 23:00 at his) I had to force myself in to bed. Great stuff!!!

Saturday night I stayed up till 03:00 playing mainly Team Fortress 2 (More about that later. Best. MP. Game. EVER). This morning I woke up at 10:30 feeling light-headed and tired. A quick cup of Rocket Fuel soon sorted that out :)

So, what is it exactly? It's just a simple mix of Coffee and Guarana. A Guarana bean has 3 times more caffeine than a coffee bean. Put them together, and you have a kick that's unbelievable.

VERY useful for anyone with a remote interest in games. Staying up till the sun comes out shooting the crap out of each other online is a great experience. I should now do that X3 all-nighter I promised my self ages ago :)

Oh and we're gonna do some CTF 2v2 (3v3 if we're lucky) tonight. If you're reading this and coming to play, see ya then. For the rest of you all, have a Good-Delicious rest of weekend!
