I love Synergy kombucha.  Sherri's not kidding when she writes that that stuff's good-- It's all fizzy like soda, but so good for you.

Funny, I found this whole forum where people were talking about it. Sounds like it can be addictive. LOL Seriously, though, it is supposed to be good for you, but only if you don't overdo it, and it sounds like some people do. I have elevated liver enzymes (they don't know why) so I would be a little nervous about trying it. I am curious, though. |

I have been to many gas stations across the nation and I have NEVER seen that drink before. _________________ www.timkimdesign.com www.myspace.com/timkimdesign change is happening. |

I first heard about it from Sherri on her journal. A few weeks later (the day after seeing them oddly enough) I found a gas station that had two different kinds. Now they're everywhere in about 20 different flavors. |

Komboucha is scary (I've seen it brewed). But I need to give it a serious try one day. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

Looks like an exorbitantly expensive multi-vitamin in liquid form. _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

what the $#@! is this $#@!? the only thing i searched for that lead me anywhere was the “kombucha” Jamie mentioned, which sounds like a bunch new agey (vocabulary mishap) that's supposed to be “good” for you, but which has only been medically proven to possibly cause health complications, and maybe make you a little bit high!? and it sounds disgusting! why would anyone with any degree of sanity drink that $#@!? or even consider it? i think i'll go vomit now… but, really, what the $#@! is this $#@!? |

Sorry, I just wanted to fit in. yeah… i don't know — all of this kind of stuff really pisses me off, and my anger towards it has been building up a lot lately for some reason, and after taking one look at the pictures online of this stuff being “brewed”, and reading up on one what little science i could find (while trying to filter through all the lies out there trying to push this crap!), well, it all just came pouring out of me! and Eisley's peddling this stuff? i don't even want to think about it… it's the magical bacteria filled dirty water that'll cure you of anything and everything — trust us, we know, because we make money every time you gulp this stuff down! 
whenever you're reading a page on “health” and FDA conspiracy theories start flying at you, well… |

It looks to me like Sherri was just commenting on how they like it. No selling, no endorsing, no shoving it down people's throats. Also, I think you need to chill out a little bit. You're throwing around profanities, exaggerated opinions, and a whole lot of anger towards something that really doesn't seem that worth it. It's an energy-type drink, not some profound social issue. |

Agreed. No one's peddling nothin' on here. I was just commenting on how I personally like the stuff. As far as the 'hype' issue, no one's forcing you to believe in its health claims. And I think it's a little much to go all out and bash something you've never even tried... _________________ Delmar O'Donnell: Oh, George... not the livestock. |

And everyone else was saying their understanding based on what they like/don't like about it from personal experience. However, everyone else has been calm and collected (it is a casual thread after all). Just because you found "facts" on the internet (which may or may not be true, you can't know everything you read) doesn't mean you have to go ballistic on everyone. Also, your first post, funny? You were tossing cursewords like bread crumbs at pigeons and spitting out ridiculous statements all over the place. That's not humor, that's just annoyance (that happens to be conveyed in a way that it becomes annoying). And to be honest, I feel pretty chilled out. This whole time I've been totally calm and, well, chill. And that's how I'll continue to stay. I'm not going to turn this into an argument. |

Doesn't this drink come in a flavor with like mushrooms floating in it and whatnot? I had a friend who about 6 months ago would drink one of those everyday, they look absolutely disgusting :\ |
