What would you choose: A colorful fruity Alani energy drink or a cold crisp not overly sweet celsius?

At the two free concert events hosted by UCI every year that are completely free for students they also give out free items. Even though the line up might not be your favorite you can still go and retrieve some free stuff. One of the most enticing things they offer is the free energy drinks, but they are different every time. At APAD this year they had Celsius and at Summerland's they switched to Alani. I was curious as to what students would want if they were able to choose what was given to them. Listen in to hear some UCI student’s opinions, along the pros and cons of these two drinks.
