No, it does taste somewhat like gummy bears. I didn't say it neccesarily 
tasted GOOD, but it has a distinct similarity. 

The drink is (was?) basically marketed as a clubber/raver drink. It has sugar 
and caffiene added to it, to give the drinker "more energy" or something along 
those lines. It was interesting to try once, but I've never had it since the 
first time, and I probably won't again. I'm not surprised that your friend 
threw up after drinking five of these sweet coolers, though. That doesn't 
sound out of the ordinary- if you are going to be drinking a lot, coolers are 
BRUTAL. Anything with a lot of sugar in it will make you sicker, faster. If 
you are getting plastered, stick to the basic alcohols and beer (in my 
opinion). Of course, by the sounds of things, you are underage, and maybe not 
quite as experienced a drinker. It's just important to learn your limits.
