Do they work? Do Power bars give more energy or are they empty calories. They taste disgusting, but my friend says they are good for you.

last time I was in a show, I was getting over a cold and had a mucus situation that made it very hard to sing those high notes. I basically relied on the KMX energy drink right before going onstage, as a way to burn away whatever was in my throat at the time and keep it clear until the 2nd act. By that point, I'd feel pretty horrible but didn't have to sing anymore solos. The stuff is pretty caustic, so I don't know if it's very good for you. If you're looking for healthy, get some vitamins and a wheatgrass shot.

Posted: 4/5/05 at 4:54pmYou have to be careful with energy drinks. Many of them are nothing more than high doses of sugar. You have to ask yourself, "Do I need the energy more than the calories?"
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 4/5/05 at 8:34pmAs someone who has spent long, long hours hiking the Appalachian trail for weeks on end, I can say yes, Powerbars can help you. And they grow on you- I find them palatable now.

Posted: 4/5/05 at 8:38pmMy energy drink of choice is Red Bull. It makes you feel alert and energetic, without the shaking.
