 [SPEC] Is Slusho an energy drink?

[human]

Seems like a false dichotomy to suggest that it must be one, excluding the other. Well, why not both? You're right, the descriptions we get seem to say it's got some psychoactive properties! Perceptions are changed, etc.

But slusho.jp also says that the DSI must be kept frozen to preserve its freshness. And the drink, after all, is called SLUSHo, which implies that it's...slushy.

So, again: why not both?

I was thinking the same thing - it sounds like an energy drink. I agree with human - it's both! We know that it's a slurpee type of drink because of Alias, but mostly because of all the info. from Tagruato, Slusho!, and those Vernon whoever 'reviews' - it's got to be kept cold.

Given its apparent effects, though, if it isn't an "energy drink" (according to some official beverage classification scheme), it would at least make sense to market it as one.

Also, I hate to say it, but doesn't this whole thing strike you all as Cocoon meets Godzilla? And, obviously, it's the Cocoon part I'm having problems with. Let's hope Steve Guttenberg isn't in it. Maybe it's a giant Wilford Brimley!

I never caught that bit about Hawk watching a "Sopranos" marathon after chugging Slusho...but you're right Phaeton -- might indicate yet another side effect of Slusho: it'll keep you up overnight.

"Overnight"...where have I heard THAT before?

Hawk looks like one of them dudes who get brain freeze for a rush, "wooooah dude!"
