I've tried it once: I'm a hacker (at least in my own mind), so of course I had to try it when I spotted it in local grocery store here in Stockholm, Sweden. It didn't appeal to me and I'm not one for acquired tastes, I won't buy it again.
- guruz 11y agoLooking around here at the office I'm currently working in (in Berlin). I see 3 guys (including me) and 2 club mate bottles. Quite a ratio :-)
- pluma 11y agoI love it, but I can see why it doesn't appeal to some (most?) people. It's definitely an acquired taste and I don't think it would be as popular if it weren't for the high caffeine content and its popularity with the Chaos Computer Club in Germany. At this point in Germany it is actually mostly associated with university students rather than hackers in particular. It's certainly no longer as "underground" as it was a few years ago, even if it's still more popular with hackers than with any other subculture. Maybe I should point out that I don't like coffee and don't smoke. Even though I like Club Mate myself I generally don't expect people who've never drank it before to find it even remotely pleasant.
- legulere 11y agoI also didn't like it the first time but it was an interesting taste. So I tried it later again and got hooked. I think it's pretty comparable to coffee and beer which are also tastes you first have to learn.
