5 Ways to Get Your “Energy Drinks Are ick” Mates into Remedy KICK

 

We all know that guy. You know the one. If there's an energy drink on the counter, they’re rolling their eyes or screwing up their face or saying, “You know energy drinks are so bad for you, right?”

We’ve all got those mates. Heck, we’ve probably been those mates.

But­ we must preface that was in the very dark and depressing days before Remedy KICK came onto the scene.

We know energy drinks have a bad rap for being outrageously high in sugar, artificial ingredients and bad caffeine… and anxiety and sadness, but we’re breaking out of that icky stereotype to bring a refreshing, tasty, no sugar caffeine hit without the guilt, jitters or crash. 

But how do you convince your “energy drinks are ick” mates to try Remedy KICK?

Here are five arguments that are 100 billion per cent scientifically proven to work.*

1. No heart palpitations, no problems! Most of us don't really dig the jitters and shakes and am-I-having-a-heart-attack side effects of traditional energy drinks. That’s why you can brag to your energy drinks are ick mates about the lack of jitters with Remedy KICK, thanks to the all natural caffeine coming right from raw, unroasted green coffee beans.

2. Sugar who? If you know Remedy, you know we’re not about that sugar-high lifestyle. We prefer to be high on life… aaaaand all natural energy sources that don’t come with a sugar crash 2hrs later.

3. Refreshing, for real. Mid-arvo coffees just don’t hit the same as a cool, refreshing bevvie. Mornings are for coffees. Arvos are for KICKs. 

4. Say cya later to sickly sweet. Love the idea of a mid-arvo, refreshing AF pep in ya step but can’t stand the overwhelmingly artificially tasting sweetness of most energy drinks? KICK is packed to the brim with natural sweetness, leaving no need for scrunched-up noses or litres of water after you’ve emptied your can.

5. Flavour-filled AF. Just like all Remedy bevvies, KICK is a one-way ticket to flavour town. With Lemon Lime, Blackberry and Mango Pineapple, you won’t be able to stop yourself from making KICK part of your daily routine.

*We are not scientists, but our guesstimations and magical-looking glasses prove this accurate.

Which Remedy Bevvie are you?

“Where has the year gone?”

“Can you believe it’s almost winter?”

“Gee whiz, it’s a bit nippy out there today, isn’t it?”

If having yet another mundane AF conversation about the weather with your co-workers feels about as enticing as a dip at a cold Melbourne beach in May, we’ve got a little somethin' somethin’ to get better chats flowin’ in the lunch room.

You guessed it, it’s quiz time.

Gather Josh from accounts, Petey boy from sales and Susan from HR (or maybe not Susie if your Susie is a classic HR Susie type) 'round your computer for a good old-fashioned quiz.

Mostly A's: You’re booch-tiful, just the way you are
You’re Kombucha! You’re no stranger to fermented bevvies and would just as happily sink an ice-cold booch as you would an ice-cold beer. In your downtime, you love getting out and about with mates, hitting up the local (and not-so-local) haunts you’ve read about in Broadsheet. You’re the go-to for dinner parties because you pull out all the stops every time, even when it takes you a day (or two) to prep. 

Mostly B's: You’re the soda-licious life of the party
You’re Sodaly! AKA the life of the party. Always ready to makeover your bestie who finally ended it with the latest F-boy with a J-name. You’re the one everyone goes to for life advice, a shoulder to cry on and a night out to make them forget about whatever they needed to cry about in the first place.

Mostly C's: You’re KICKing goals
You’re KICK! Adventurous, outdoorsy and the idea of a Netflix & Chill date night makes you jittery, you prefer to get your hands dirty and experience the world IRL. You’re always the first to suggest a camping trip or bevvies around a bonfire, and you’re the go-to for guiding your mates out of their comfort zones to squeeze every single bit of fun and adventure outta life.

Mostly D's: You’re not throwing away your Shot
You’re Shots! Fit, active and health conscious, you prefer a Friday night in over a night on the jagers so you can make that Saturday morning sweat sesh. You’re the one who always brings your mates together over mixed netball or futsal, and even though you get a tad more competitive than social sport should be, you’re a happy chappy as long as your mates give it their all.

Our new recruit: Sodaly Blood Orange

Our current Sodaly flaves have been sitting pretty on shelves for a while now, just waiting for their newest sibling to join their ranks.

*drumroll please*

Remedy Sodaly Blood Orange.

Same 100% natural, guilt-free soft drink with a tart n zesty taste, Sodaly Blood Orange is a bloody good bevvie for the fizzy drink guzzlers looking for a better option.

There's no such thing as bad energy... or is there?

Adulting is a tough gig. It’s probably why we all get hooked on bitter bean juice when we hit our uni days just to feel something.

That something is energy, obvi.

Uni, work, kiddos, general life stuff. There’s a heckin’ lot to balance without a full 8hrs of sleep or (because who’s actually getting a full 8hrs every night?) a caffeinated pep in ya step.

But is there such a thing as bad energy?

Is there a bad way to keep calm and caffeinate on?

Is there a bad way to get through this rigmarole we call adulthood?

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: yes. And here’s why.

All caffeinated bevvies have to get their caffeine from somewhere, and we all shop around for what works best for our bevs.

But what works best for our bevs doesn’t always work best for our bods.

The big dawgs in energy tend to opt for caffeine sources like guarana and taurine. Think heart palpitations, chemically induced mortal panic attacks and the crash of all crashes a couple of hours later when the caffeine (and bucket loads of sugar it’s paired up with) starts to wear off.

We dunno what you’re into, but we dig our energy boost without the shakes or jitters.

That’s why the caffeinated bevvies in our drink lineup get that good energy straight from raw, unroasted green coffee beans. This fuels a more enduring hit that helps you keep on keeping on without feeling dragged under by the impending 3 PM hitting of the wall.

An energy hit without the guilty bit is our jam. Fuel up for good with Remedy KICK or Remedy Energy Shot
