Doubleshot Rescue

At work last week I noticed a can sitting just outside the stockroom.

I watched for the person drinking it and embarrassingly asked for the can when they were done.  It can still be hard to ask someone for their trash.  But it's getting easier.

After it was cleaned up and at my house, I took a better pic.  It's a Starbucks doubleshot energy drink in the form of vanilla-flavored coffee.

In the end, now I have one more person watching for interesting cans for me.  It's worth the embarrassment.  

Ultra Rosa

I was given another can at work last week.

This is from the co-worker who drinks a lot of Monster and other energy drinks.  And he's been going out of his way to try different flavors.  Also to give me new cans.

I really like when a company colors the top of the can, as Monster did with this Ultra Rosa.  The name is a little off-putting to me just because I'm not a fan of rose scent normally, and I imagine this would not only smell like roses but even taste like it?  I'm sure that's not the case, but I'd never buy one just for that reason.

But it does go to show that an Ultra Rosa by any other name is still an Ultra Rosa.
