Old days #2 - The very first review - Piston Energy Drink

The first ever.

Let's get back to the roots. As a naive young man, I wrote a letter to the Australian Piston Energy Drink that they make very nice cans. I was wondering if it can be purchased in Europe as well? Of course not, it was an internal market product, but the company offered to send me a gift package so I could taste it. Needless to say, my first thought was that "nothing is free these days, I'll never have a can like this."

I wasn't right. Two weeks later, the package arrived straight from Australia! I’ve never been so happy in my life with a 4 pound paper box. It contained 3 full energy drinks, a T-shirt and a greeting card. I didn't even understand what was happening. I only wanted one empty can because I liked its graphics. Instead an entire package was mailed to me from the other end of the world without request.

It’s been 9 years, but to this day, I’m shivering at how happily it has filled me with such a selfless act. 

First Australian can. First gift package. First non-carbonated energy drink. First review. It was so weird. Not carbonated? What's the point? I understand by now. What seemed weird at the time, I know, wasn't it. He reached back to the roots, knew exactly what he was doing and did it very well. It was something sugary, too sweet, almost honey-like. As it should be. Like the "Father" of energy drinks.

If you know, you understand.

I will not score on a scale. I didn’t understand then, now I would do anything for a sip. Thanks for the experience!
