Mt. Dew Throwback is Back!

What does the title of this post have to do with anything ‘techy’?  It’s simple, but  you’ll have to read on to find out.  All of us use technology at some point in our day, every day.  Sometimes that technology can make us stressed.  A few years ago there was an article about how there is a new  type of stress, technology stress.  Also, some people need a different type of glasses to read the monitor screen as it’s neither in the nearsighted or farsighted category.  When that stress occurs, or when that drop of morning rush energy wears out, what does one reach for?   Almost every tech I know drinks coffee, tea, energy drinks, or some high caffeinated soda (i.e. Coca-cola’s Jolt or Pepsi’s Mt. Dew) to get through and/or start their day.  I personally try tea, but if available I love natural energy drinks.  And now that it’s back, Mt. Dew Throwback is becoming a new favorite.  I personally like Mt. Dew Throwback because it has real sugar in it.  It’s the same reason I prefer natural energy drinks, like 5 hr energy, Xs, and Boost to name a few.  They give you a steady flow of energy with no drop at the end.  Perhaps some of us would not even need these if it wasn’t for our, stubbornness to stay up late and play video games, watch anime/cartoons, TV shows or movies, but what techy/gamer is going to stop doing that?

Here’s where you the reader comes in: Whether it’s an IT related career or just a stressful moment with day to day technology, what gets you through your day at the office or on the road?  Is it a beverage that perks you up?  Or maybe some music to calm you down or pump you up (my second choice)?  Or maybe you just need some 5 minute breathing and stretching exercises.  Feel free to comment and let me know your thoughts, you have read mine.
