Warning Labels for Energy Drinks in Kuwait

I remember when Power Horse came to Kuwait mmm maybe 10 or 9 years ago I used to drink 3 or 4 a day!! Yes I was super addictive to it, I don’t really know if they gave me energy or I just liked drinking them! I remember everyday after my hour walk I had to have one it refreshed me big time!! Then when I started my diet I had to stop and go to Red Bull sugar free and I had to cut back to one can a day! But that was to much as well, I still drink it but now not daily!

What really drove me crazy is when I saw kids walking around drinking Red Bull, Monster, Power Horse or any energy drink! In the past, you walk in any super market you see all kinds of energy drinks and no restrictions on them! Lately, Sultan Center and some Co-op put a warning label that says “energy drinks only allowed for 16 and above”!! And thats for Red Bull only. I think that all energy drinks should have a health warning labels on them just like cigarettes. Some people may think that it wont help, but at least it can have beneficial effects, including raising awareness of potential health risks.

Energy Drinks have become the big thing lately we have so many different drinks! But the question here is: Do they really give us energy? Or are they simply just addictive?

Smokers Social Networking Device

One of the common ways of getting connected wirelessly is via computers, smartphones, car stereo or even refrigerators. But e-cigarettes? Now thats a first! Blu is an electronic cigarette with built-in network connections. Get within 50 feet of someone who smokes your same Blu brand, and both of your packs will flash a blue light and vibrates.

The e-cigarette will go on sale next month for $80 for five e-cigarettes. The pack itself will act as a charger for the cigarettes and its connected chip will alert you to nearby Blu smokers as well as alerting you when you walk past shops that sell Blu products.

The reusable packs, which serve as a charger for the cigarettes, can be set to exchange information about their owners, like contact information on social networking sites, that can be downloaded onto personal computers.

According to the founder of Blu Jason Healy, later versions will be tethered to a smartphone through an app, allowing more options for real-time communication. The company also plans to develop a system through which the packs will monitor how much people are smoking and report back to them.

I have seen throughout the years that Social Networking is becoming a ubiquitous tool for connecting and communicating with others and now it got even bigger!
