## Object 46: Energy Drinks

### Description:

**Energy Drinks** are a liquid substance commonly found in levels in the Backrooms, especially in ones who are exercise-related or require large amounts of energy (example, gyms). Drinking the substance can provide a large boost of energy and can even be a source of motivation for those who drink it. Energy Drinks can come in many different brands and flavors, and are usually found in can form, but can sometimes be found in glass cups or reusable bottles. In very rare instances, Energy Drinks can be found in powder form, which require a liquid to be diluted into a beverage.

Some brands and flavors include, but are not limited to:

* Monster Energy - Original, Reserve Watermelon, Reserve White Pineapple, Assault
* Spike Energy - Original, Purple Surge, Strawberry Lemonade, Orange Gold, Blue Raz

More obscure brands have also been found. The brand or flavor of the Energy Drink does not seem to affect how much energy is provided by drinking it, though people can have preferences based on the taste.

### Usage:

**Energy Drinks** are usually used to provide energy and hydration when someone is exhausted. It has also been found to provide motivation for travelers to keep wandering through the Backrooms. Due to these effects, Energy Drinks can sometimes provide sanity for those who need it. These effects also allow organizations in the Backrooms to give workers a beverage to motivate them into doing work. Energy Drinks are currently being investigated to see if they can be used to turn an insanity into a gymsanity, or if they can be used to strengthen one's relationship with a gymsanity.

### Locations:

**Energy Drinks** are found throughout the Backrooms, though are somewhat uncommon to stumble upon. The most common locations for Energy Drinks to be found are in locations that are related to exercise in some form, or in locations that require large of amounts of effort or work. Sometimes, Energy Drinks can also be found in areas that provide food or beverages, such as a vending machine or a cafeteria or kitchen. Energy Drinks have been found in Level !, Level 127, sometimes in Level 53, and in many other levels in the Backrooms.

### Types:

#### Crimson Burst:

Crimson burst is an energy drink that boosts energy but also increases blood circulation causing time to seem slower while the user is actually faster.

It appears as an aluminum can, except it has no brand, and basically just looks like a grey, colorless, aluminum can. The cans also have writing on them, usually in marker. The liquid inside these cans looks like water mixed with food coloring, and some colors include red, green, pink, and blue, but the most common color is red. It usually has a flavorless, yet acidic and gaseous taste, similar to sparkling water. Crimson Burst does not have a distinct smell, but smelling it can cause someone's eyes to water, due to the intense carbonation.

Similar to an ordinary Energy Drink, it provides a large boost of energy, except this boost of energy seems to gradually increase over time. This energy boost slowly rises to extreme and deadly levels. After a while, one may experience symptoms, such as:

* Restlessness and jitteriness
* Headaches (sometimes migraines)
* Anxiety
* Sweating
* Increased adrenaline presence in the blood
* Inability to talk properly
* Hyperventilation
* Hypertension and increased BPM
* Heart palpitations
* Eventual cardiac arrest

Due to these symptoms and likeliness of death after consumption, it is highly advised not to drink any Energy Drink cans that do not have a label or brand or are just a bare aluminum can. A way to differentiate Crimson Burst from an ordinary Energy Drink is that smelling Crimson Burst seems to always burn your nostrils, due to Crimson Burst having more carbonation than any other Energy Drink.

### Reports & Theories:

It has been rumored that consuming a large number of **Energy Drinks** can turn oneself into a Gymsanity. This has not been proven or confirmed. Gymsanities have also been found to enjoy Energy Drinks, and it has also been rumored that giving an Energy Drink to a gymsanity can improve its strength, and therefore strengthen a friendship with a gymsanity. It also seems that gymsanities are immune to Crimson Burst, and only increase their strength even more. Although the side effects to giving gymsanities Energy Drinks are that they become even more boastful than they already are, most likely due to the increase in motivation resulting from consumption, which can become quite an annoyance.

Another rumor is that giving a Wretch an Energy Drink can turn it into a Gymsanity, but this also has not been confirmed either.

A theory also states that consuming Crimson Burst, and directly after doing exercise, and repeating this several times can turn oneself into a gymsanity, but due to Crimson Burst's effects, it is recommended to not attempt to prove this theory. An extension to the theory also states that Crimson Burst's effects can be worn out by doing a large amount of exercise after consumption, therefore saving the person from the deadly effects of Crimson Burst.
