Energy drinks might be all the rage, but not everyone wants an instant pick me up; or rather, there are just some people that shouldn't have one. With this in mind, a new company has created the anti-energy drink to help tone down the hyperactive.

Slow Cow is the exact opposite of the energy drinks that cause hyperactivity, anxiety and the jitters. The anti-energy drink contains ingredients like theanine, chamomile, valerian, passiflora and other ingredients known for their calming effects. Slow Cow promises to help people destress and relax, while increasing mental awareness at the same time.
And yes it's true; the Canadian company is taking a dig at their top energy drink competitor with their creative name!
Update: Readers shared a few more relaxing drinks, Extreme Relaxation Drink with melatonin designed to "slow your roll" and Just Chill with Lemongrass extract, Ginseng, Ginkgo Biloba.

Sometimes the people on the internet don't realize you can edit your post. Based on the comments by the author, she originally wrote distress, a commenter pointed out that she wanted "destress" and she changed it to destress.
Deleting all the comments about spelling would be a great idea - including this one eventually.

How about "Calm Cow". i sort of like the alliteration aspect of that. Plus, "calm" has better connotations than "slow"--it seems a more desirable effect.

no problem for red bull
I dont think it is taking on red bull head to head at all because it is a completely different market. If you're feeling like a red bull you're not going to reach for a slow cow instead because thats not what you wanted. Slow Cow sounds like a great product, but it wont dent the energy drink market.. what it will do is get consumers from a largely untapped market. The name is great though because it clearly associates itself with its purpose so you know what it is meant to do, and it gets tons of word of mouth advertising just because it's clever. Drank, on the other hand, I've never heard of and i'm sure i'm not alone, because who really goes into a convenience store for a calming beverage? Partly because no one knows it exists, but Slow Cow is likely to get the word out quite well.

"De-stress" is what they meant, I think. I can't imagine too many people want to "distress" after a hard day's work.

Hilarity!
This thread has the makings of a classic! Some of you people are just falling all over yourselves to make yourselves right even on the smallest point. Criminy - enjoy the show and quit harping at everything. Quit distressing.
Perhaps go check out that poster's site at ebuyings.com as it "may cause you to fill the brilliance!" Ha!
Thanks for the article, Beth.
Thanks for the laughs, posters.

The purpose of language is communication. You know what they meant. "Distress" is obviously not what they meant. Get a life.

Distress? Nope...
No, Spelling Nazi, it's not "distress" as in "I'm in such distress." It's de-stress.
Then again, it's probably misused. Destress means to reduce the emphasis of something, not to reduce stress. But I think people do use it that way. Irregardless...

No Typo
Distress and De-stress are two different words. In this case, De-stress is correct.

it´s a breaaakthrough!
Well well... There are tons of sedating and calming herbs out there.
You could literally throw anything in and call it the next big thing.
Nah, I´d like to see more specific anti-anxiety drinks in the future.
One for low mood, one for anxiety, heck maybe even one for mild social phobia.
