I'll wait for the Subaru version. It will attract a more mature drinker base.

I tested this stuff 3 years ago when they were starting out. It offers a mild, sustained energy boost. Very gradual compared to most of the stuff in the market. No jitters, no crash. Comparable to 5-hour energy, but uses a natural antioxidant found in fruits, and a very small content of caffeine to promote it's absorption.

Women might want to be careful about the BRZ version though. It might promote hair growth above your upper lip.

Of course, the FR-S version probably makes you look angry all day...

I'd just go aftermarket for that. 50/50 blend of FRS/Mountain Dew or FRS/Red Bull, should produce enough boost to light up the track.

Not good for you...

Tried it about 6 months ago and after a couple of bottles over a week, I started having a hearing issue - kept hearing a faint chirping sound (like a cricket) and when running, felt a little sluggish right before I hit full stride (speed).

I'm glad they broke with the trend in the energy drink community to use giant cans for their beverages. Sure they give you that instant surge when you press them, but they are large and heavy and I've always been a fan of the twisty-tops.

You heard wrong. It's 26,000 dollars for the concentrate right out of their facility. You have to bring your own water to get the proper mixture, and your own container for transport.

FRS is another term used for Face Recognition System, cops use these. Hey wait, maybe Scion should partner up with the police and provide them FRS so they wont be able to chase after Minivans that are faster than they are!
