RIP OFF REBUTTAL
Work of Genius is a Privately financed Reality series that had
a financier who had to back out during shooting. The Producers
have been hard at work finding other financiers to complete
this BEAUTIFUL REALIZED production. As we all know the
economy has gone through its share of struggles. The Positive
thing is that SEVERAL networks have seen Episode One and

We have also been in talks with Corporate Sponsors to come on
board with Season One. It is our obligation to fulfill the money
that is owed to all of the cast and crew who worked very hard
on the series during the heat of the Summer. That Shall be done.
The day I was told that the original financier was not able to
fulfill the obligation I spoke with everyone INDIVIDUALLY
and gave them a Choice to CONTINUE working differed or
to Cancel the rest of Shooting. EVERY SINGLE ARTIST
DECIDED to Continue and I am personally Glad that
they did. The Entire ordeal has been a GREAT TEST
and Blessing. The FOOTAGE is remarkable and The
ARTIST EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM INCLUDING

QUESTION:
I drink a lot of an energy drink called"RIP IT" and have some odd side effects!!!?
I drink 3-4 Rip its a day and noticed a few things, first it makes me eat a lot, changes my moods, does not keep me woke and a friend of mine says it contains something called inositol which isnt good for you, should i quit drinking them ??????-
ANSWER:
Inositol in itself is not really harmful, however energy drinks are a supplement and are not meant to be consumed in large quantities over long periods. All energy drinks contain high levels of caffeine and this can affect you adversely, see this article - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine if you read the section on tolerance and withdrawal you will notice that these energy drinks that rely on the caffeine become useless after a week or so of continuous use also note the section on overuse which side effects of irritability, nervousness, anxiety, headaches, hyperreflexia (muscle twitches) and heart palpitations, so yes you probably should stop drinking them.

QUESTION:
Is it good to have Energy Drink "Rip it" Sugar Free for Diet or not?
I am on diet not because of any illness but rather i wanna loose weight, and therefore; i have stopped drinking all kinds of sodas. There is this energy Drink that is sugar free with Zeero Calories, and Zeero Carbs. the ingredients are as follows:Vitamin C 60mg 100%
vitamin B6 2mg 100%
Vitamin B12 6mg 100%
Sodium 110mg 5%
Folate(Iodic Acid) 400 mg 100%
Carbs 0.0
Calories 0.0What I want from you guys is to tell me whether its good to have one of these daily or after every other day or should I totally forget about it as I did for all the other Sodas.
I am a 27 Male with approximately 170 pounds. And yeah besides that i ve stopped eating junkie food as well. And i am eating vegetables and some fruit everyday instead.-
ANSWER:
Detoxing therapies of various kinds will help you lose weight, liver and colon cleansing, detox foot spa sessions possibly to help the system to free up and cleanse possible unprocessed food built up toxicity - creating circulation and having more energy to lose any extra weight, raw food dieting definitely helps the body lose weight because the body uses its energy to process the fresh enzymes in raw foods enough that it helps burn extra weight. I recommend raw foods.
Good luck, and any drinks that have aspartame/phenylaline in them are apparently quite harmful,

QUESTION:
Can you die from Monster and Rip It Energy drinks?
My nephew he is 15yrs old he loves Monster drink he just got into it yesterday he had a can then he had a can of Rip It since we went to this haunted house and they where promoting it and gave us a Free one since we where with the first group, he drunk that to that night the limit on the can says three is the limit he said he started feeling funny like weird like really tired he is active and he is not over weight or anything he is tall and he is right weight, I just don't want nothing to happen to him drinking them anymore he said he is not cause he felt so weird he said he was not going to drink the other one until a long day from now, when his mom my sister came to pick them up since they spent the night she is like your not getting that junk no more. But he should be fine?
oh and he bought a can at the store today when we walked over to return a red box movie and he drunk that so he had three.-
ANSWER:
He'll be fine. They gave away cans of Full Throttle (another energy drink) for free at a festival thing I went to once, and since everything else to drink cost money and I had never tried drinking them before, I drank Full Throttles all day. I was about 15 or so at the time and had about 8 or so in perhaps a 5 hour span and I felt weird but I was fine.Drinking too much could kill you by giving caffeine poisoning (think alcohol poisoning, though I've heard caffeine is worse) but he would have to drink a lot more to get it. Take care.

QUESTION:
Is it safe to drink energy drinks while you're pregnant?
I just found out yesterday that I'm pregnant and I love energy drinks like RedBull and mainly Rip IT! I wonder if they're safe to drink while you're pregnant. I don't want it to affect the baby.PLEASE...SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY!!!!
-
ANSWER:
You aren't supposed to exceed 300mg of caffeine per day, but here's a secret... shhh don't tell....Redbull only has as much caffeine as a small cup of coffee, around 80mg. So you can have 3 a day.
http://wilstar.com/caffeine.htmHowever Redbull is also high in niacin, b12, and b6. And I can't find much info on high levels of these vitamins during pregnancy
As for Rip IT it contains about 100mg per can.

QUESTION:
rip it drink?
i am a fat guy, so i avoid eating . in order to gain more energy i drink lots of rip it . so plas someone tell me if rip- it will make me fat or not. i just want energy not extra kilosregards
-
ANSWER:
I think you should diet since you're a fat guy. In fact, you've
enough energy in your body. I suggest you take more fruit or
vegetable juices like orange, carrot, guava, celery, spinach etc on a daily basis. In between light meals, drink lots of plain water and avoid heavy or solid food like chicken, beef or mutton.
After 14 days of dieting with only fruit and vegetable juices,
you'll lose weight and shed some body fat which is a good sign for your health. Stay focus on your diet and in no time
you be like James Bond 007!

QUESTION:
What are benefits real side effects of Serafem?
I was recently put on Serafem for my PMDD. I am taking it everyday. I noticed last night that I drank a rip it energy drink before I went to work out and I was in la la land pretty much the rest of the night. What are the benefits and side effects that you have found to come with the drug?-
ANSWER:
The old drug is Prozac, the antidepressant made by Eli Lilly. The "new" version of Prozac is Serafem, a pink and lavender capsule prescribed for PMS and PMDD.Eli Lilly conducted clinical trials and presented the U.S. Food and Drug Administration with results showing Serafem is effective with severe symptoms of PMS, which afflict about 5 percent of menstruating women.
Prozac is associated with insomnia, restlessness, nausea, and tension headaches, which normally go away within one to two weeks from the time it was first taken. One possible Prozac side effect, which remains for the time it is taken, is its effect on your sex life. It often reduces desire and can delay or interfere with orgasm, in both women and men. Fatigue and memory loss are other possible problems. These side effects subside when you stop taking the drug.

QUESTION:
Can a high sugar intake make somebody sick if that is all that they eat?
Today, I didn't eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner. What are the chances that a rip it energy drink(16 oz.) and a little candy bar could have made me sleepy and sick? I wasn't hungry for lunch, so I chugged the drink, and swallowed the candy bar down.And If you know how to fix it, could someone please tell me how to deal with it, besides puking by brains out?
Thanks.-
ANSWER:
Yes it can make you sick (short term) Your blood sugar skyrockets, body responds with huge amounts of insulin, the sugar get stored away in the cells, excess insulin in running through your bloodstream, you crash and feel crummy. It all happens in less then 2 hours.
Repeated, you run the risk of exausting your pancreas, developing insulin resistance and then type II diabetesFirst, always eat a breakfast. something with fiber and protien. If you are going to grab a fast bite (such as reaching for a candy bar) always pack a high fiber/high protien bar and stay away from simple carbs. This will help keep bloodsugar stable and provide slow release energy throughout the day. Avoid simple carbs (carbs without fiber).
Try to eat3-4 small balanced meals per day. You will feel remarkably better.If you were asking for a quick fix to your immediate situation, get on the tread mill and burn off all that sugar that is making you feel sick.

QUESTION:
Energy Drink in Bulk?
I am doing a mini-survey. Would you buy a powdered Energy drink if it comes in a Big Box of 100 servings for 75 dollars. That's about 75 cents a serving and it is in single two serving rip packs?Also would you try an energy drink you've never heard of? and would you order it if you liked it, over the internet? Do You neet to taste it first? Would you sell the packets to your friends at a little more than you paid, or would you just give them one to try. How often would you have to buy a box of 100 servings? One month, two months or three? would it throw you off trying it, if it was healthy, low sugar, or helped you lose weight, or is all you care about is if it gave you the energy you needed and tastes good.
I am writing an article about what energy drink users really want in a drink.
I am also doing a taste/experience test, if you would like to participate Put yourself on the list at http://InternationalCrave.com

QUESTION:
How many people out there know of Faygo?
Faygo is awesome! Have many naturally decaffeinated flavors. I always hear people asking about Pepsi and Coke, have we forgotten where it all started.... Faygo, they make Everfresh Juices, Rip it energy drinks, La Croix water.... But yet with all there varieties no one buys it or talks about drinking it. Do you?-
ANSWER:
I love Faygo! You can get it just about everywhere in the Pittsburgh PA area.I really like the Rock and Rye Faygo soda.
Fago makes a really good cream soda too.
The diet sodas that Faygo puts out are not bad as far as diet sodas go. They make a diet flavor called "Frosh" that is kind of like mt. dew.
Its really cool, Faygo has the best flavors, yet it is dirt cheep compared to all the other pops. You can get it for about a dollar per 2 liter bottle here in the Burgh.

QUESTION:
what over the counter Allergy medicine won't knock me out.?
I need a new over the counter allergy medicine, Benadryl has me doing the Zombie walk through the day, even when i drink three energy drinks (rip it), a 2 liter of mountain dew and a package of "Genko energy now".
and without the Benadryl I spend the day drowning in mucus, with iitching, burning watery eyes and constant sneezing.
What else can i take
because of my ultra cheap skate employers i have no medical, vacation time, sick leave or even over time.
so the doctor is out of the question as i can't afford it.
and i normally take 1 Benadryl (25mg) every 6 to 8 hours (no more than 2 per day)-
ANSWER:
Try Claritin 10 mg or Zyrtec 5 mg.
Btw, I get the generic, and they work just fine.
Neither should make you sleepy -- but the 10 mg
Zyrtec might.
Have you tried taking 1 Benadryl instead of two??
That also works for me.

QUESTION:
How unhealthy are energy drinks, compared to soda?
My gf has been riding my a$$ lately because of what I drink. I drink a Monster or Rip It everyday and I've been doing for so about 3 months, whereas she drinks soda regularly.She says soda is a healthier alternative, but that's not true. I just compared my Monster Assault to her Ski: InfraRed and there's not much difference. My drink only has 9 grams more calories and sugar, which isn't much, plus mine has Vitamin B in it.
She says all the Taurine and various energy blends are killing my heart and are extremely bad for me. She also said there more fattening, but that can't be true because my weight hasn't shifted at all, still 5'7 119 lbs after the 3 months I've been drinking them, but I'm pretty active and my doctor told me I have a high metabolism, but I digress..
In conclusion, exactly how unhealthy are energy drinks? They can't be any worse than the standard soda right?
-
ANSWER:
Compared to soda they are not any worse. Indeed I do believe the Vitamin B makes it better than soda, but both are unhealthy.

QUESTION:
I think my manager is trying to rip me off? Would this hold up in court?
Last Thursday I was called into the store. My manager had caught me and 2 of my friends stealing merchandise while I was working. I was shown some of the footage where my friend was wearing a store uniform (he doesn't work there but he worked there back in July. He got fired for not showing up for work and he kept the uniform. Back in July, a different manager was running the store.)We got our new manager on the 5th of January. There have been many changes since she took over. Most importantly, she put me on night shift working weekends. I'm fine with working night shift, but I heard it was illegal to have only one employee in the store, especially during night shift while it's on the weekend.
I deal with quite a few drunk people coming into the store. One night two guys came in. One came up to the counter and was going to buy cigarettes. He asked for one brand and the other guy standing by the door said to get him a different brand. The guy at the counter said, "If I actually let this guy listen to you, I'd break both your faces. I don't give a fuck who this guy is." (So basically the guy at the counter wanted Studio brand cigarettes. The guy at the door told me to get him Canadian Classics. The guy at the counter then said if I listened to the guy at the door, he'd break his face and mine too.)
It's not that I was scared of the guy. It's the fact that I'm being paid an hour to deal with guys like that, while being the only employee in the store. To top it all off, out of all the employees that have been working there even before the new manager took over, I was being paid the least. I started in July. Another girl that started in October is still making an hour. The guy who works night shift during the week is still making , which means I was the only employee who was asked if I could be hired for an hour with the new manager. I agreed, because I need the money. But still, why, out of all the employees, was I the only one who got a drop in wages? Everybody else was still making the same amount of money they were making with the old managers.
I seen a spreadsheet open one night while I was at work. I went to the back office and found this out. The manager is actually making an hour. The assistant manager is making an hour, as usual. And everybody else, like I said, is still making just as much as they were before the new manager took over.
Anyway, my friends and I were caught taking energy drinks and nachos without paying for them. We didn't do this all the time, and have done so on occasion. Several times we paid for our stuff.
But I think it was the fact that my friend was wearing a store uniform when he doesn't even work there and my other friend was also there. Both of them hung out with me for several shifts, for several hours. A few times they hung out with me for the entire shift until the next employee came in for the morning shift. They never said anything about it though. As far as they knew, my friends just came into the store before they showed up.
Anyway, my manager wants us to pay her 40 for all the stuff we stole ever since I started working. She calculated this by adding 3 packs of cigarettes, 3 trays of nachos and 3 energy drinks each and multiplying those totals by the number of days I worked there since the 5th of January.
This is why I'm quite certain that we are getting ripped off. I just agreed with everything she asked me, and explained some stuff she was wrongfully accusing me and my friends of. I mean, they actually had the nerve to say they "saw me" walk into work one night, go to the coolers and take an energy drink without paying for it. I walked into work and went straight up to the till and pulled an energy drink out of my pocket, which I bought before I left to go to work.
I know that they have video evidence that shows us taking stuff without paying for them, but now my dad is saying I should make them write out a detailed list of the stuff they actually seen us take without paying for, instead of assuming that we stole every night, which we actually didn't. He said that if my manager refuses to write out a list, we are taking legal action.
So far my manager can hold these against me:
- taking merchandise without paying for it (I haven't seen any videos showing that we actually paid for our stuff on occasion)
- my friend filling up his bag with energy drinks (I haven't seen any video evidence showing him do this, although he actually did do this)
- Giving free cigarettes to my friends (I didn't actually see a full segment of video showing that I simply gave them cigarettes without running them through the till first)The truth is, we actually took things without paying for them, and I knew how to make the transaction look legit by scanning stuff through the till and pretending to pay with a debit card, since the debit machine is s
...since the debit machine is separate from the till. So if the transaction looks legit on the videos, and this whole situation was taken to court, could the jury actually dismiss the things that seemed to be paid for on camera? I know it was wrong either way to do these fake transactions, but on camera they look completely legitimate. The manager wanted me to pay for my stuff with a debit card and keep my receipts, which I did (but like I said, they were fake transactions).I even found a glitch on the till where I can scan things through but they wouldn't actually show up on the till. Nobody knows about this glitch and because I used it, there was no items going through the till itself (only cigarettes had to be scanned through because we count the cigarettes at the end of the shift during cash out). So the only discrepancies that could be seen is the fact that the debit transaction totals on the till are more than that of the debit machine totals. It would be impossible to figure o
Look, I'm not making excuses! I'm fully aware that what my friends and I did was wrong. But the issue I want to address is the fact that my manager is actually trying to rip me off. Yes, to pay back what we stole but still, she's asking for WAY too much! There is absolutely no way in hell that we stole 40 worth of merchandise in 21 days of working (2 days a week). So you tell me, would you rather pay an arm and a leg to make up for a finger, so to speak? It's one thing to make us pay back what we owe, but I want a detailed list of the things that she can see us steal on the cameras so I know that we're not getting ripped off. And yes, I am FULLY aware that we stole and stealing is against the law.-
ANSWER:
You're in neck deep.If you don't reach an agreement with the store manager she can just turn the video over to police and have you charged. It doesn't matter if the video shows you taking or 00 worth of merchandise, it is theft and you will likely be found guilty.
The rest is semantics.
You stole, and now it is time to face the music. The fact that you feel your manager is taking advantage of you is ironic, but hardly criminal.

QUESTION:
What the hell is this, junior coke fiend training?
So a friend of mine bought some little tube that said Rip It, like the energy drink. When we got to the car, he opened it up and inside was pure powder, supposedly for putting in your drink, but what immediately came to mind was cocaine, since it's powder and makes you hyper. Is this supposed to be like conditioning or something for all of the future speed freaks out there? Teach Timmy and Susie how to properly cut his speed and snort it with a rolled up dollar bill? I put a little on my tongue and it fizzed up like crazy. Perhaps after snorting it and burning away their sense of smell for a week, the kiddie krackheads will never let anything up their noses ever again. So maybe it has the opposite effect than I first thought.On the side of the tube, it inexplicably says "dietary supplement."

QUESTION:
Aussies in Sydney: Where can I find the OLD Mother Energy Drinks?
Yeah, I'm looking for the old, silver version in cans or glass bottles. I know it's been taken off the shelves, but I know some retailers are bound to have a few forgotten cartons lying around somewhere. I live at Cabramatta West, NSW 2166, in the Sydney Metropolitan area, so if anyone knows a few stores that are selling it cheap (I'm guessing reject stores, warehouse type stores could possibly have them) PLEASE TELL ME!I recall just a month or two ago, they were on sale at Coles for like 80c a can, but I didn't realise they were totally going to get rid of them.
Also, I found a small convenience store that sells the bottles of Mother, and the store owner lady wants per bottle, or .80c for a carton of 12, which is the biggest rip off in the world, not to mention the best before dates are 17/10/07 (but I don't think she realises lol). Maybe I should convince her to give me a discount (don't mind the expiry), but how do I convince her to go from .80 to around ? Anyway, whatever, I'd rather find a different store though.
And THANKS A LOT!!
-
ANSWER:
I know in some stores of "The Reject Shop" they still have some..Wouldn't count on it though..
I also miss the old stuff.
& I tried one slightly out of date not long ago, tasted like sh*t.. Buy one first & try it ey.
Maybe if people write to the company they'll consider bringing it back.
The new one's kinda good, but similar to all the other ones. Old Mother was the best.

QUESTION:
I desperately need to bulk up, too thin, I work out everyday, I Vegan. Does Energy drinks speed up metabolism?
I have a natural fast metabolism because of my size and personal physics. My body type is athletic/fit, but I'm not quite ripped or swole yet. I really need help with this, because I have a short amount of time to get more muscle mass. I need it to be specifically in chest, arms, and thigh area. As far as what I eat, I don't eat meat or dairy. I eat fish and sushi, soy, bread. Oh, and I thought I would mention that I work out almost everyday and I do workouts that leave me completely sore. I work rotate my muscle groups every day, so I work arms one day, and legs the next, but I swim laps almost everyday.
actually, I never said I was a vegetarian, i said I'm vegan, there is a difference. We vegan don't eat meat or dairy, but we eat fish.
Obviously, there are too many detains included for this to be a simple question to answer. Basically what I'm trying to find out is if there is a theory to how to slow down my metabolism. I wasn't looking for a quick fix, I was looking for some method I could use over a period of say...maybe up to 6 months. Apparently, I've been on a specific diet for 4 months working out hardcore, and I'm in top physic shape, but the idea was to bulk up and it never happened. Someone who is a personal trainer said I screwed up by using energy drinks for carbs, and said that I should stick to solid forms of food, that the body burns off liquids entirely too fast and that Michael Phelps got as big as he is by eating solid food, working out all day and the food staying long enough inside the body to be absorbed instead of being processed. I would like to know what everyone's thoughts are on this subject, as a whole if possible. Thanks for taking the time to read all this. LOL-
ANSWER:
You can go to a health store and ask for help finding something to help you bulk up. If you're truly a vegan/vegetarian you'll want to ask them what's in the product. If you're eating fish you would not be considered vegan or vegetarian at least to the true vegan/vegetarians. You do sound like you eat really healthy and exercise enough so I would go with a health store. It will be expensive so if that doesn't work look online for natural foods that help build muscle.

QUESTION:
how come I can't lose this last bit of fat to show my abs?
ok.. so, I have been working out for about 5 years, and I'm 23. I eat PERFECT, I never eat bad. my diet is almost the same everyday, and I am physically in great shape. I am currently in the army, and have been in for 2 years (deployed to Iraq right now). Everyday I eat 6 meals as followed:
breakfast: sugarfree oatmeal- with raisins added, 1 small can of v8, 3 egg whites (no egg yolk), 1 polish sausage, and a yogurt.
snack: assorted peanuts and raisins (about 1.5 cups worth)
lunch: chicken (tear off the skin) or steak(cut off fat) (eat chicken or steak depending on whats available) a random vegetable, half a yogurt, a v8 (small can) a banana and sometimes a starch like mashed potatoes or a potato. if no bananna i'll drink some 100% apple juice (half a cup's worth)
snack: beef jerky (1g of fat and 14 g of protein)
dinner: chicken or steak or rarely i'll eat fish (fish in iraq is gross) a random vegetable, half a yogurt, v8 (small can) no starches.ok and then i work out 5 times a week.
I'll do a full body work out every other day, no stopping in between sets (circuit training) for example: i'll do bicep curls 1 set, then bench 1 set, then shoulder shrugs, without resting in between the sets and then i'll start all over again. muscles are constantly being used while the other muscles are resting. and i do all of my muscles. then i do cardio 5 times a week as follows: i run for 13 minutes 1 minute of jogging and 30 seconds of an all out sprint and i'll continue that for 13 minutes. I work my abs out every other day too, sometimes 2 days in a row (rarely)
after a couple of weeks I'll change my work out to upper body one day and the next day lower body, and ill jog for 19 min straight. I almost get a 300 on my pt test. 13:45 2 -mile, 95 push ups, 85 sit-ups. I'm 5'9 150 lbs. I look lean, i have great arms, my chest is kinda small (one is bigger than the other) and i have a layer of fat that hides my 8 pack, i can pull it down and I look ripped, but regularly you can only see the top 2 a little bit. It's not alot of fat, but HOW DO I GET RID OF IT? I drink plenty of water, and i drink sugar free energy drinks occasionly through the day like rip its, sometimes a little endorush, or if i'm really tired, straight black coffe (rarely).
someone please help me! I've read every article you can possibly read!
i forgot to say i have 2 -1g fat 24 g protein shakes a day (one before breakfast in the morning and the other before bed) and before i work out i have 2 scoops of muscle milk light (as recommended)-
