And by that I mean - someone who likes to sample new things :P

I am probably the perfect consumer - if it's new and remotely appeals, I will try it. If it's in the supermarket and it's a new food item they are doing instore tasting of, I will try and and if it's yummy I'll be 'obliged' to buy it :>

So today I needed water and see 'Fuel' - lime infused with 'kick of caffeine'. Hadn't had morning coffee, and fizzy energy drinks with guarana are generally yuck.

Errrr well, it's possibly the most vile thing I have tasted in months. I assumed that it wouldn't actually TASTE like caffeine - limey caffeine??

Anyway *shudder* ... hehe.

So I guess my questions are:

a) Do YOU like to sample new stuff?
b) What are good / bad experiences?
c) Do you think stuff like 'caffeinated water' is a good idea or just gimmicky?
