Perky Penguin

In bygone days of youth, before things like Red Bull existed, there were (entirely legal, though not terribly sensible) ways to keep energy levels high during (relatively) short stints of running-about-like-a-loon. They included any (and, in times of serious need, all) of guarana tablets, utterly ridiculous quantities of Diet Coke* and undiluted shots of red (or, when under real pressure, green) cordial. Fueled by as many gummi bears as could be consumed while dashing from A to B to Z to splat!

Hence my potential excitement at this recent discovery of what penguins drink when attempting to stay awake and alert...
