Bawls Guarana

The original flavor. This product comes in a 10 oz glass bottle and a 16 oz can.

Bawls Guarana Exxtra

Bawls Guarana Exxtra (formerly Bawls Guaranexx) is a sugar-free version of Bawls Guarana. It is sweetened with sucralose. This product comes in a 10 oz glass bottle and a 16 oz can.[3]

Bawls Cherry

On May 1st, 2007, Bawls released Bawls Cherry, which is similar to the original, but with some cherry flavor. This product comes in a 16 oz can. The can is red with white circles that change to blue when the drink is cold. Additionally, Cherry Bawls is sweetened with high fructose corn syrup instead of corn syrup like the original flavor.

Bawls G33K B33R

A guarana spiked high-caffeine root beer called “G33K B33R” is the newest flavor of Bawls. It comes in a 10 oz. studded bottle, similar to the original Bawls bottle, except it is brown. This product was released on April 1st, 2008 online and in select stores. The first location in the nation to carry G33K B33R was Hard Knocks in Oviedo Florida.

Bawls Buzz

Bawls Buzz, formerly known as Bawls Mints, consist of the same content as the regular Bawls drinks, only in mint form. They are small blue tablets, and are carbonated, giving an effect similar to that of Pop Rocks though much milder. Each mint contains about 1 mg of caffeine “via Guarana & pure caffeine”. These mints can be put into a bottle of Bawls to rapidly release the carbonation of the drink and mint to produce a large head of foam which often overflows. This is called a “Fizzing Blue Bawls”. Bawls Buzz was featured on Food Network’s Unwrapped.[4]

SnoBAWLS

SnoBAWLS is a frozen version of Bawls containing similar flavoring and caffeine content. (SnoBAWLS contains 120mg of caffeine per serving.) SnoBAWLS is available at 7-Eleven locations in the following metro areas:[5]
New York City
Chicago
St. Louis
Detroit
Kansas City

Amylose is a linear polymer of glucose linked mainly by ?(1?4) bonds. It can be made of several thousand glucose units. It is one of the two components of starch, the other being amylopectin.

The ?(1?4) bonds promote the formation of a helix structure. The structural formula of amylose is pictured at right. The number of repeated glucose subunits (n) can be many thousands (usually in the range of 300 to 3000).

Amylose starch is less readily digested than amylopectin; however, it takes up less space so is preferred for storage in plants: it makes-up about 30% of the stored starch in plants. The digestive enzyme amylase works on the ends of the starch molecule, breaking it down into sugars.

Iodine molecules fit neatly inside the helical structure of amylose, binding with the starch polymer that absorbs certain known wavelengths of light. Hence, a common test for starch is to mix it with a small amount of yellow iodine solution. In the presence of amylose, a blue-black color will be observed. The intensity of the color can be tested with a colorimeter, using a red filter to discern the concentration of starch present in the solution.

High-amylose varieties of rice have a much lower glycemic load, which could be beneficial for diabetics.

n chemistry, an amino sugar contains an amine group in place of a hydroxyl group. Derivatives of amine containing sugars, such as N-acetylglucosamine and sialic acid, while not formally containing an amine, are also considered amino sugars.

Aminoglycosides are a class of antimicrobial compounds that inhibit bacterial protein synthesis. These compounds frequently contain amino sugars (but in some cases contain aminocyclitols).

Common examples of amino sugars include:
Galactosamine
Glucosamine
Sialic acid
N-Acetylglucosamine

Acetyl-L-carnitine or ALCAR, is an acetylated form of L-carnitine. ALCAR has been claimed to be superior to normal L-carnitine in terms of bioavailability. However, at least one study has suggested that the acetylated form may have a lower oral bioavailability

Altrose is an aldohexose sugar. The D-altrose is an unnatural monosaccharide. It is soluble in water and practically insoluble in methanol. However, L-altrose has been isolated from strains of the bacterium Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens.[1]

Altrose is a C-3 epimer of mannose.

An aldohexose is a hexose with an aldehyde group on one end.

The aldohexoses have four chiral centres for a total of 16 possible aldohexose stereoisomers (24). Of these, only three commonly occur in nature: D-glucose, D-galactose, and D-mannose. The D/L configuration is based on the orientation of the hydroxyl at position 5, and does not refer to the direction of optical activity.

There are eight D-aldohexoses:
The chemist Emil Fischer is said to have devised the following mnemonic device for remembering the order given above, which corresponds to the configurations about the chiral centers when ordered as 3-bit binary strings: All altruists gladly make gum in gallon tanks.

Deoxyaldohexoses

Aldohexoses can have one or more of their hydroxyl groups replaced by hydrogens to form deoxyaldohexoses. The following are well known cases of such compounds :
L-Fucose (6-deoxy-L-galactose)
L-Rhamnose (6-deoxy-L-mannose)
D-Quinovose (6-deoxy-D-glucose)
Quinovose is found as part of the sulfolipid SQDG.
L-Pneumose (6-deoxy-L-talose)

Regular Bawls is packaged in a dark blue glass bottle, while Bawls Exxtra comes in a clear bottle. Both containers, designed by award winning design firm flowdesign[1] from Detroit, Michigan, are covered in approximately 122 bumps to increase the traction of the container in an individual’s hands, and BAWLS Buzz features 207 artificial bumps on the tin, with no texture. The bumps also add to the distinctive look of the Bawls bottle. In early fall 2006, the bottle design underwent a small change that increased the size of the words “Bawls” and “guarana.” An alternate bottle sold at paintball fields has multi-colored “paintball splatters” and is sometimes called “PaintBawls”.

Aside from being available in glass bottles, it can also be packaged for shipping overseas to U.S. military APO’s/FPO’s. The “Military Gift Pack” consists of 12 aluminum cans rather than glass bottles in order to save money on shipping and reduce the risk of spoilage. Cans of Bawls are designed to imitate the bottles by having 59 white circles with a fake beveled appearance.[2]

Bawls is sold in individual bottles at convenience stores, grocery stores, LAN gatherings, traditional arcades, rock gyms, and dance halls. It is also available in 12 and 24-pack cases when purchased from convenience stores, computer stores, grocery stores, or purchased online.

Acetylated distarch adipate (E1422), is a starch that is treated with acetic acid anhydride and adipic acid anhydride to resist high temperatures. It is used in foods as a bulking agent, and emulsifier, a stabilizer and a thickener.

Bawls Guarana is an energy drink containing natural guarana flavor and a relatively large amount of caffeine, amongst other ingredients. Bawls products are owned by Hobarama LLC of Miami, Florida.[1]
