This is a story about a guy named Johnny, an "extreme boarder dude" that barely kept himself awake.  Then one day he was talking to some dudes… and up from his brain came this idea for a brew....  He knew that most of the non-alcoholic drinks out on the market were just flavored sugar water with some heavy fizz added to tingle his taste buds and help him belch real loud.  But, even though many tasted good, the quick sugar rush just wired him up and then left him dragging, and most never satisfied his thirst. What really bothered Johnny was he had to drink something else, usually water, to wash the thick and gummy aftertaste out of his mouth. More than once, he offended some young lady he was trying to impress by trying to spit the stuff out. (Johnny, like many young men, might seem like a crude, badass to some, but his momma raised him to be a gentleman in mixed company.)

Johnny Chronic™ has always tried to be on the cutting edge of sports.  He lives for the thrill of the moment and is high on life.  He is active in extreme sports, especially "boarding"; all types and styles.   It doesn't matter whether they have wheels under them or water or snow,  as long as he can feel the rush and experience the excitement of conquering his environment while developing his own athletic skills. 

(Johnny likes to be a "real rad" dude, he loves the attention and the shock he gives some folks, but he is smarter than the bad boy image he sometimes portrays.  Like most of us, Johnny likes to hang with his buds, to chill, to party hearty.  But, he also obeys the law and will not drink alcohol while he is underage.  He wants to have fun without risking a DUI or an arrest. He knows that getting a good job or a sponsor for his boarding could depend on a clean record. Even though Johnny hangs with surfers and "stoners", he is smart enough to enjoy the culture without doing the drugs.  Johnny respects himself and his body.  He realizes his body has to last him a lifetime.  So he wants to stay healthy so he can enjoy the trip. Johnny knows of family and friends that have lost out or lost everything, including their lives from too much of the wrong kind of partying. He does not want to end up the same way. Life's too short to spend it behind bars, crippled up, or 6 feet under. Johnny's not perfect, but his is a good kid.)

Johnny noticed that he was drinking a lot of conventional soda pop in order to try and sustain the high energy level he needed to keep up with the active lifestyle.  He realized that the "sugar buzz" did not last long and that it must have been the caffeine in some of the sodas that helped keep him pumped up.  The problem was he had to keep drinking them throughout the day.  It was not only getting expensive to slam so many, the high carbonation made him belch and break wind a lot. He frequently felt bloated and this made him very uncomfortable during strenuous sports activity.  He also tried the energy drinks in the little cans. He got a lot of energy real fast... but it only lasted about and hour and then he felt twice as tired as he did before drinking them. Johnny did not want to get wired and then re-tired and he did not want to supplement the energy drinks by popping caffeine pills like some of his buds were doing. Johnny wanted a mellow energy boost that felt natural and did not leave him wasted. He also did not like paying a high price for a little can.

While talking it over with his buds and listening to their similar complaints, it hit him right between the eyes, "Why not pump up the caffeine as high as is safely possible (don't want to get the shakes), reduce the amount of carbonation (gotta have some fizz), just enough sugar to make it taste good (hate that sudden blood sugar drop), add some healthy stuff to help keep my bones and body strong (maybe some vitamins for extra energy... B Vitamins are great for stress relief). Then I would give it an awesome and wild name to get people's attention and blow their minds! Something nobody else is doing." All of Johnny's friends agreed that it would be so cool if he could do it.
