…you get the picture.
But did you get the voucher?
'What voucher?' I hear you ask; why the voucher for a free can of ‘Relentless’ energy drink for every Sun reader in the paper this week.
That’s right, The Sun this week had issues with energy drinks, pictured right (click to enlarge).
“Here’s an offer that will give you a boost…” said the offer, making curiously little mention of The Sun's own past suggestions that such drinks could also give people something more life-threatening than "a boost", such as a stroke or a heart attack.
“The energy drink…is bound to perk up your day,” it added.
Too right it is, one can of Relentless contains 160 mg of caffeine. That's twice the amount of caffeine in a can of Red Bull.
