Like the Romans used to drink from lead cups. Something like that.

I found kind of a suitable replacement. The energy drink I like the most is a very cheap lemon-soda energy with sweeteners instead of sugar (like 0,39€ per 330ml can). And instead of buying that, I went for basically the same, ie. lemon soda with zero sugar, just without the caffeine. It's not a 1:1 replacement, sadly - I'm sure I'd like the taste of the energy more - but it's close enough and only slightly more expensive at 0,59€ or 0,69€ for the same size

    Pommac comes pretty close as well but it's not exactly cheap and it's probably hard to find outside of the nordic countries. It's like "adult soda" - in graduation parties, weddings and such it's often served as the non-alcohol substitute for sparkling wine.

    Sounds interesting. What's it taste like? Reminds me of pear-flavoured soda I'd find in Russian supermarkets around here. Not sure what it's called

    Difficult to describe. Remotely similar to Red Bull but less bitter, maybe more bubbly. A sweet sparkling wine/cider-like. Sophisticated. Something a kid would drink if served but would likely never pick themselves.
