At the 30c3 there were Club Mate and Flora Power. Flora Power is actually a bit better - not that sweet. https://twitter.com/zeitiger/status/416496391209644032/photo...
Flora Power was surprisingly great, and indeed a little less sugary. Tried it at 30c3 for the first time too.
"The golden soda has become essential nourishment for anyone in Berlin involved in hacktivism, club culture, dance music, tech—just about everyone in the city under the age of 40." What a ridiculous sentence.
This article[1] from pg has been linked like a million times, but it's as relevant as it was the first time.

EDIT: oftenwrong linked the article before me; I hadn't read their message when I send mine. I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw it.
Didn't know it's that popular, especially among "hackers". At work the Coca Cola crate gets empty faster than the Club Mate crate.
Visit any Hackerspace anywhere in the world, and you'll likely find a crate of two of Club Mate there. It's a de-facto official drink of Hackerspaces worldwide. At ours (Kraków, Poland) we go through a crate or two a week.

The first half of the sentence definitely feels that way... the second half just feels almost offensively exclusionary. Unless Berlin is a really weird, dysfunctional place, like London's Old Street roundabout on a city-wide scale - which is a horrifying thought.
Londoners usually think Berlin is kinda weird. Things are very different. The London ideal is suit, tie and lots of money. In Berlin it's actually the opposite. It's a bit hipsterish, but also really cool.
The City ideal is suit, tie and lots of money. Outside of the City and Docklands, you'll find plenty of Londoners with nothing but scorn for that ideal.

Is there much difference between the effects of mate and standard black tea? Because there's almost the same amount of caffeine in a strongly brewed black tea as there is in coffee. http://www.theguardian.com/news/2013/nov/27/caffeine-compare...
Nevermind the tea. How does it compare to modafinil?

Nothing compares to modafinil but modafinil. Modafinil is a glorious stimulant gifted to humanity by the gods themselves.
Pros - gets stuff done, cuts the chit-chat, and all without a hint you're taking medication.
Cons - life without it.
