[โ] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) I just spent 20 minutes watching commercials. Thanks! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] tamal3@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) Me too, but i still don't know what it is? Definitely involves caffeine. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children) Looks like there's a version of it that is a caffeine drink. But yeah, I'm pretty curious about what it tastes like. Unsweetened and originally a replacement for beer, so I'm going to guess it's nothing like a conventional soda. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [โ] tamal3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) And what is a girder?? "Made from girders" is no help at all, as I think of a girder as an architectural support. Edit: looks like there's some ginger involved, which helps the ginger commercial make slightly more sense. Edit 2: well, they really do mean steel/iron girders. There ya go. Still no help at all. Edit 3: people claim it tastes like orange the color but not orange the fruit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago Yeah, if you read the article linked above, it was originally marketed to steel workers as a replacement for beer when on the job. Originally Iron Brew. But the ingredients are a closely guarded trade secret. I'll have to see if I can find some to taste. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] AdrenochromeBandit@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago I tried it once canned, can't remember the brand but it was Italian. It was slightly sweetened but had this bitterness that hits the back of your tongue in a very unpleasant way then fills the rest of your mouth. I would not recommend it. permalink fedilink source parent
