History of the Collections
OCD Drink Reviews is the website of three brothers, and their respective beverage collections. Tim started with
energy drinks, and branched into all things energy; whereas Nick began collecting soda soon afterwards. Jon,
wanting to get into the collecting game, went through a few rough starts with things like juice and fruit flavored
beverages before settling into something he loves: sport drinks. So, with everyone collecting something they are
, well, obsessed with, the collections grew from there and they haven't looked back since.
Tim's Energy Collection
Hi, my name is Tim. I'm the eldest of the three collecting brothers, and I chose to collect energy drinks (and products).
During my early teens, I was a big Mountain Dew drinker. I loved the stuff. Then, one day, my cousin had a Full
Throttle and let me try it. I was hooked. It was like a soda, but bigger! Better! Tastier! Energy-er!
From that point I started trying various drinks that friends had and trying a few from local convenience stores
when I started to notice the interesting variety I had going as I kept all my cans. Eventually, I only kept
one of each, and had quite the thing getting started. In the early days, I didn't collect sugar free drinks,
energy shots, and certainly not anything that wasn't a drink. Then I finally caved and bought this weird thing
called 5 Hour Energy from a GNC in my local mall. Energy shots were in. I held out on another issue though;
I didn't collect sugar free drinks for a while unless they were a distinct flavor. Then, as I scraped against what
Nick, Jon, and I call "rock bottom," where you can't find anything new; I realized that the myriad sugar free
drinks I had skipped over were an easy way to gain numbers. Sugar free drinks were in. I had always found the concept
of an "energy gum" interesting, so the inclusion of alternative energy products wasn't so much of a stretch for me.
I am now well on my way to 1000 different items, and have applied to Guinness World Records for the largest
Energy Product Collection in the world!
