No Fear SoBe Energy Drink Review

SoBe No Fear Gold Energy Drink
Cost: $2.19
Cost Per Ounce: $0.14
Active Ingredients: Taurine, Creatine, Ginseng, Guarana, Caffeine, B-Vitamins
Taste Rating: 9
Kick Rating: 8.5
Final Judgment Rating:8.8
Energy Drink Ratings Explained

No Fear SoBe Energy Drink Review:
It had been raining for the last week, there has been no sun and there is crap to do here. The bleak weather has drained me of any energy that I might have after the devastatingly long weekend so I thought I would go out and buy a SoBe Energy Drink as a friend recommended it to me. Well there were two kinds at the store, No Fear and Adrenaline. Remembering the old shirts and slogan from back in the day I thought I would go with the SoBe Energy Drink called No Fear.

No Fear SoBe Energy Drink Review: Taste
This 16 ounce is quite original and tastes vaguely the same as some of the other bottled drinks that SoBe makes. SoBe is carbonated and very sweet and fruity. There is a mild after taste, probably from the energy ingredients but other than that it is quite splendid. I have to say that the taste on this is quite good and
would probably make a good combination with any meal. The No Fear SoBe Energy Drink review for taste gets a stellar 9.0. I will probably have to try their other flavors as well as this was very good.

No Fear SoBe Energy Drink Review: Kick
Quite a substantial kick can be had from SoBe. This kick also is rather surprising as there where no jitter effects after I was finished. The kick lasted for about 4-5 hours which was rather nice. Along with a nice kick I noticed that it also had creatine in it. Creatine along with the jitter free energy effect would be great for athletes. Overall I will give the No Fear SoBe drink review for kick a pleasing 8.5.

No Fear SoBe Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
You get 16 ounces of reliable jitter free energy in a great tasting fruity flavor. You get the added creatine which would be great for athletes or for working out. The only downfall is that it costs slightly more than other comparable drinks. At $2.19 the price is probably worth the extra flavor. My final judgment for this drink will be a 8.8.

Red Bull Energy Drink Review

Red Bull Energy Drinks
Cost: $2.00 (cheaper when bought in bulk)
Cost Per Ounce: $0.25
Active Red Bull Ingredients: Caffeine, Taurine, B-Vitamins, Sugar
Taste Rating: 7.5
Kick Rating: 8.0
Final Judgment Rating: 9 – It's the original energy drink!
Energy Drink Ratings Explained

Red Bull Energy Drink Review
When it first came out Red Bull Energy Drinks were the coolest thing on the market. They are currently the number one energy beverage on the market, the reason behind this is that they are absolutely everywhere. I have tried them before and I am sure you have too. But just in case you have not tried one of the originals in the energy beverage category, I will share with you my Red Bull Energy Drink Review.

Red Bull Energy Drink Review: Taste
Alright I have been using the Red Bull energy drink as a staple for comparing other drinks. That might not be the best way to do it but almost everybody has had one of these. Well in my opinion there are way better drinks out there than this, Red Bull does not have the best taste. To me it seems like there is a medicinal aftertaste. The sugar free version tastes even worse. On the bright side this drink tastes unbelievable when you mix it with Jägermeister. These Jager-Bombs are just the thing to get you going all night at a party. The Jager-Bomb is a shot of Jägermeister dropped into a glass that is then filled with Red Bull. In my opinion,
one of the greatest inventions of the 21st century! Well unless you count a Reddy (Vodka – Red Bull mix drink). The review for taste gets a moderate 7.5.

Red Bull Drink Review: Kick
Alright the Red Bull Energy drink has an average of 9.64 mg of caffeine per ounce. When it first came out this was quite a bit of caffeine, but when you compare it too today's energy drinks you get the same or more caffeine and it usually comes in 16 ounce cans versus the Red Bull Energy drinks 8 ounce can. Overall it does give a decent kick, I am just saying that for your money you can get more kick. But since it is a decent kick, I will give it a moderate 8.0.

Red Bull Drink Review: Final Judgment
Alright I know that it sounds like I am bashing Red Bull but I am not. It is a great energy beverage but one can only drink so many of them before you figure out that there are better alternatives. It does have a decent kick, the flavor is mediocre, the price sucks (unless you buy in bulk) but I will give it a 9 out of 10 for a final judgment because with out this drink we would not have Bawls, Vaults, or Monster's of the world.

Full Throttle Energy Drink Review

Full Throttle Energy Drinks
Cost: $2.00 for 16 Oz
Cost Per Ounce: 12.5 cents
Active Ingredients: Taurine, Caffeine, Ginseng, B-6, B-12, Carnitine
Taste Rating: 6
Kick Rating: 6.5
Final Judgment Rating: 6
Energy Drink Ratings Explained

Full Throttle Energy Drink Review:
Coca Cola’s Full Throttle Energy Drink comes in an attractive black can and can be found almost anywhere because of the distribution channels that Coca-Cola has. This giant 16 ounce drink can be had for around $2.00 just like all the others. So does the Full Throttle drink have anything on the rest of the pack, or is it just a mediocre drink? Read on to find out.

Full Throttle Energy Drink Revivew: Taste
Another citrus lime flavored drink that comes in a 16 ounce can. This has less of a bite than most citrus flavored lime drinks but overall Full Throttle does not taste that great. If I were you I would try the Vault Energy drink
that recently came out. Overall I am going to give the Full Throttle Energy drink review for taste a mediocre 6 because it does not add anything original to the table.

Full Throttle Energy Drink Review: Kick
Well I was not very impressed with the taste and frankly I am not that impressed with Full Throttle's kick. It actually has about 8.81 miligrams of caffeine per ounce which is about the same as the Monster Energy Drink but I did not get a kick that lasted very long. I am not sure if they are missing other ingredients that help give you that kick you are looking for or not, but I was not that impressed so I will give the Full Throttle Drink review for kick a mediocre 6.5.

Full Throttle Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
It is not the greatest tasting, it does not give a big kick like Monster Energy Drink (even though they have comparable amounts of caffeine) and it does not score any points on price. So I am going to give this drink a remarkable 10! Just kidding it only deserves a 6 out of 10. If I were you I would go try Coca-Cola’s other energy beverage, Vault Energy Drink. It tastes better, costs less and gives a comparable kick.

Rockstar Energy Drink Review


Cost: $2.00 Available everywhere – Can purchase in bulk
Cost Per Ounce: $.013
Active Ingredients: Taurine, Guarana, Caffeine,
Taste Rating: 8.5
Kick Rating: 8.0
Final Judgment Rating: 8.8
Energy Drink Ratings Explained

Rockstar Energy Drink Review
I think I get the concept behind this drink. If you want to party like a Rock Star then you need to have a Rockstar Energy Drink before you do. Well celebrities and stars do like things in excess and Rockstar Energy Drink was the first company to feature the 16 ounce cans, double the conventional size of drinks like Red Bull. Well enough background b.s and onto the review.

Rockstar Energy Drink, 16 Ounce Can (Pack of 24)

Rockstar Energy Drink Review: Taste
I am sure many of you have tried Rockstar just like I have. It does not taste like all the other energy beverages per see, it is citrus based but it also has a kind of apple after taste. One thing it does lack is that conventional medicinal taste that a lot of the original drinks came with. Rockstar also added "Milk Thistle" which is supposed to help with hangovers. I tried it and I don't think it works. I did a Rock Star Bomb after every two beers, after I was done with my 12 pack of Budweiser I went to bed. Yup, I woke up with a hangover. That could have been because I was mixing beer and vodka, or it could be because I am getting old. Either way this drink tastes pretty good, with or without the alcohol. I will give it 8.5 out of 10.

Rockstar Energy Drink Review: Kick
Because this drink comes in 16 ounces it packs quite a bit of kick. It has 9.38 milligrams of caffeine per ounce. 16 ounces = about 150 mg of caffeine. When you compare that to other energy beverages like Red Bull 150 mg’s of caffeine equates to quite a substantial amount, but nothing over the top. I will give the Rockstar review for kick a satisfactory 8.0. Not the best, but not too shabby. It can give you a kick that should last around 4 hours.

Rockstar Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
Tastes pretty good, gives a decent kick and comes in 16 ounce cans and only costs about $2.00. When you put all of the satisfactory elements together into a cheap energy beverage like this it turns out to be well worth it. I would recommend buying this because you get a good tasting kick for the money. I will give it a final judgment of 8.8.

XS Energy Drink Review

Cost: $2.40
Cost Per Ounce: $0.29
Active Ingredients: Taurine, Caffeine, Glutamine, Ginseng,
Taste Rating: 9.5 (Scores on Originality)
Kick Rating: 7.5
Final Judgment Rating: 8.5
Energy Drink Ratings Explained

XS Energy Drink Review
I had heard that the XS Energy Drink is supposed to be relatively healthy for you as it has zero carbs, zero sugar and only 8 calories. Turns out XS energy drink is the first review I have done that falls into the "sports energy drink" category and the timing was perfect as I had to wake up early this weekend to get some hardcore exercising (Frisbee golf) in and I wanted to be in my prime! And what better way to get going than an energy beverage!

XS Energy Drink Review: Taste
I have tried many energy drinks in my life but this XS energy drink will be the first one that is root beer flavored and one of the few that does not contain sugar, carbs and is low in calories. I have to say that before I tried it I was pretty skeptical, but I would highly recommend at least trying this once. Not only is
the root beer flavor unique, but it actually tastes pretty good, kind of like the old school root beer flavor. You know the kind that doesn't give you gut rot because of all the sugar. I will give the XS energy drink review for taste a high 9.5.

XS Energy Drink Review: Kick
The initial sugar high is not there that you get with normal energy beverages and that is because this root beer flavored drink has none. However, the actual kick it puts off is pretty good. It was a perfect pick me up for Frisbee golf and I image it would be for real sports as well. The kick I got lasted through Frisbee Golf and into the beginning of the evening, so a total of about 5-6 hours. Not bad but not the greatest. I will give the XS Energy Drink Review for kick an average score of 7.5.

XS Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
The taste is old school original, especially for an energy beverage. The kick was pretty good, and would likely benefit those people who need that little bit of extra energy before sports or weightlifting etc. The only bad thing is the price is not that nice. You can get them in a case for about $24.00, which comes out to $2.00 a can. The final judgment is a pretty decent 8.5, mainly for the original flavor. I have to try their other variety of drinks as well.

Monster Energy Drink Review

monster energy drink picture
Cost: $1.99
Cost Per Ounce: $0.12
Active Ingredients: Caffeine, Taurine, Ginseng, Guarana, B-Vitamins
Taste Rating: 8.5
Kick Rating: 8.8
Final Judgment Rating: 8.7
Energy Drink Ratings Explained

Monster Energy Drink Review
Well yesterday I reviewed a fairly new drink called Kabbalah Energy Drink so today I thought I would go with a classic and do a Monster Energy Drink review. Now I have had this drink a bunch of times before but I never posted how I really felt about it so now is a good as time as any. This is the review of the orignal Monster Energy Drink, but I have reviewed several others including their shot. The complete list of products reviewed so far are (stay tuned for more to come):

Monster Hitman - Energy Shooter
Khaos
M-80
Lo-Carb
Assault

Monster Energy Drink, 16-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24)

Monster Energy Drink Review: Taste
This sweet tasting citrus drink has been improved since it's original debut but it is still not the greatest offering even though this new Monster has less of a medicinal taste that you normally get with all the additives like taurine, ginseng, caffeine and Guarana that are associated with energy beverages. Another thing about this drink is that it comes in 16 ounces vs. the regular 8 ounces that you get with "bullet drinks." And since Monster Energy tastes pretty good this is another benefit because if it did not taste good it would be next to impossible to finish all 16 ounces. Overall I will give the Monster review for taste an above average 8.5. The citrus flavor is pretty good.

UpdateNow comes in 8.4 ounce, 16 ounce, 24 ounce and 32 ounces

Monster Energy Drink Review: Kick
Alright this bad boy comes in 16 ounces and you get 8.75mg per ounce of pure energy. This is not a huge number but when you compare it to Red Bull's 9.64 mg in 8 ounces you know you are getting what you pay for. So this drink has relatively the same amount of caffeine per ounce as Red Bull but you get a drink that is twice the size. I would have to say that this bad boy can pack a pretty decent punch and will give it 8.8 out of 10 for kick. If you really like the taste of this drink they make an XXL version that is 23.5 ounces for only about a dollar more. That bad boy should pack a ton of energy and you might need it to carry a drink that large!

Monster Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
We have established that the can is big and that it packs a pretty decent kick. The price is average at right around $2.00 per can, but since you can buy it almost anywhere you can find bulk deals where you can get a case for around $35.00. You end up paying around $1.50 per can which is a pretty good savings. I do have a little beef with this drink only because it does not mix as well with vodka as Red Bull does and since it comes in a 16 ounce can more bars are carrying it because it is cheaper. But I won't let this beef affect my final judgment and I will give this drink a good score of 8.7 as you get a good kick and good taste for your money! Just remember there are plenty of other options not only from this company but from 100's of others... so the original is good but don't forget about your other options.

Kabbalah Energy Drink Review

Cost: $2.00
Cost Per Ounce: $0.13
Active Ingredients: caffeine, B-Vitamins, Sugar, Taurine
Taste Rating: 8.5
Kick Rating: 6
Final Judgment Rating: 7.5
Energy Drink Ratings Explained

Kabbalah Energy Drink Review
I only tried it because Madonna came to me in a dream and told me to try it. Actually I saw this huge billboard that was advertising for the Kabbalah Energy Drink, so I thought I might as well give it a try. After all, Madonna is into Kabbalah and she is a celebrity. So it is safe to assume that celebrities drink
Kabbalah Energy drinks and if celebrities drink it I have to or I won't be cool. At least that is how I think it goes. Enough fluff, onto the good stuff.

Kabbalah Energy Drink Review: Taste
The design on the can was not too shabby so I was expecting good things from the Kabbalah energy drink. Basically Kabbalah is a carbonated citrus flavor drink that does not have a bad aftertaste like other energy beverages. A lot of drinks have an aftertaste that comes from all the vitamins and caffeine that they put in, Kabbalah didn't. I would have to give the Kabbalah Energy Drink review for taste a 8.5 out of 10 for it's good tasting citrus flavor.

Kabbalah Energy Drink Review: Kick
I was satisfied with the flavor but I think the special "Kabbalah water" that they supposedly put in these cans must have diluted some of the energy that I was supposed to get. Although this drink does have 1000 milligrams of taurine they are missing they must be missing the extra caffeine that tends to give you that kick in the ass to wake you up. The only thing that I got out of this drink was the sugar high and then a relatively fast crash. Overall I will give the Kabbalah drink review for kick a mediocre 6, it should last longer.

Kabbalah Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
It tastes good but has little kick. The price is not too bad but they are not scoring many points in that category either. The only reason I am going to give it a final judgment of 7.5 is because Madonna came to me in a dream and told me too. Actually it is not as bad as it sounds, remember it tastes good but it is not
going to help you through an all night cram session, but it will make you look cool.

Active Ingredients: Caffeine, Taurine, Guarana, Ginseng Bunch of B vitamins

Hype Energy Drink Review
Alright Hype Energy drink has been around for awhile but this is the first time I am going to try it. Other than the can itself not standing out much I picked this basically for the price. The Hype Energy drink was only $1.49 for an 8.3 ounce can, which is basically a $0.50 savings. Yeah, it does not sound like much except when you are a poor college student who could use that for laundry, or better yet to go out and have two beers on Wednesday's $0.25 tappers night. Well enough babbling, on to the review.

Hype Energy Drink Review: Taste
The first impression of this can was that there was not way that something in such a boring can will taste good. Fortunately for me I was wrong as Hype actually tasted good. It had a berry-citrus flavor taste that was actually quite surprising. Neither one of the flavors were overwhelming and I was just glad that it was different than the majority of the other energy drinks out there. Cool thing about Hype is that it tastes good with mixed drinks. I mixed one with vodka and a little bit of lime and it was great. I will give the Hype Energy Drink review for taste a pleasant 9.5 out of 10 just because it mixed so nicely with my drink!

Hype Energy Drink Review: Kick
This little bugger has one hell of a kick. I got the original 8.3 ounce version and I think it gave off enough kick to compete with the big 16 ounce energy drinks. Alright my opinion might be a little biased especially since I had one Hype Energy before I went out drinking and two more when I was drinking. Lets just say I had
quite a rush from these drinks. I know I got an initial quick kick from the first drink but I can not tell you how long they last. I also did not have too bad of a hangover, maybe it was all those vitamins. Well whatever, it gave off a nice kick so I will give the Hype Energy review for kick a fat 9.

Hype Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
It costs less than most energy beverages, it tastes good on its own and it mixes well with others. Add that to the nice little kick that you get from Hype and you got yourself one hell of an drink. I will give this bad boy a huge 9.5 out of 10. Not to shabby, I might make this one a classic!

Jolt Energy Drink Review - Blu Rasberry
Alright this is the craziest looking bottle I have ever seen in an energy drink. The thing looks like a battery and it even comes complete with a meter that lets you know how much is left in the can., and it is reseal able. Not that it is practical, but it is pretty neat. Any way, you have to see this crazy can, it is the only reason I really bought Jolt energy drink; that and the fact that I remember drinking the cola when I was a kid. Anyways, on to the Jolt energy drink review.

Jolt Energy Drink Review: Taste
Alright I picked this drink up at the gas station and they had three flavors available; cherry, ultra and blue. Not knowing what the ultra and blue flavors where going to taste like I opted for the blu rasberry jolt energy drink because at least I had an idea of what I was getting. This 23.5 ounce bad boy called Blu Rasberry was somewhat of a gut wrenching bomb as there is a ton of sugar in this drink. Don't get me wrong the taste was pretty darn good, I just was not too fond of all the sugar. I don’t recommend doing anything active after drinking a Jolt, as 23.5 ounces of sugar and caffeine don’t make for a good precursor to flag football. Overall I give Jolt Energy review for taste an 8. It tastes good but stick to playing games online versus playing flag football.

Jolt Energy Drink Review: Kick
The main ingredient in this energy beverage is caffeine (go figure). Another thing that you have to figure into the equation is that the 23.5 ounces of caffeine is supposed to be for three separate servings. This is a lot of caffeine and a lot of sugar to be drank in one sitting. But I did it for you guys and I was shocked.

Being so large I figured that I would get a huge kick, but I was less than impressed. This drink really only gave me a slightly above average kick along with a full stomach. Damn that’s a lot of sugar! Well the kick only lasted about three hours and then the sugar and caffeine pretty much wore off. So I would have to give Jolt Energy review for kick a 8.5.

Jolt Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
The good; it is cheap, it is huge and there are 6 total flavors to choose from. The bad; it does not pack a very long or exciting kick and it is huge. Alright, it is a good thing the drink comes in resealable bottle, there is way too much sugar in one of these bad boys for my liking. On the other hand as I stated earlier, if you plan
on doing some online gaming this might be the perfect drink. The final judgment is a solid 8.3, mainly because it is on the cheap side for an energy beverage. You can actually buy them in a 12 pack for about $20.00.

Amp Energy Drink Review
Before I go out for thirsty Thursday I need to get some energy, after all it was a rough day sleeping in til 10:00 and getting up to go to class at 10:10, then taking a nap. Any way after that rough day I decided to go to the 7-11 and get an Amp energy drink. The Amp energy drink is made by the people that make Mountain Dew (Pepsi). The drink comes in a normal 8.4 ounce can. Well enough B.S and onto the Amp Energy Drink review of taste and kick.

**Update: This now comes in two more sizes. The 16 ounce tallboy and the mountain dew big rig energy drink which is a whopping 24 ounces. The big rig is one enormous beverage, if you can finish it in one sitting you got some bawls!

Amp Energy Drink Review: Taste
The 120 calorie, 8.4. ounce amp energy drink tastes eerily similar to Mountain Dew with a hint of green tea. Now I love Mountain Dew but the hint of green tea tastes odd at first. However, overall I would have to say that Amp energy drink tastes pretty good for an energy beverage. The green tea taste is not over powering but
it would taste a lot better without it. So I will give the Amp drink review for taste an 8.5 out of 10.

Amp Energy Drink Review: Kick
I was quite pleased with the effects that I experienced after chugging the average sized 8.2 ounce Amp energy. It has been three hours since I finished the drink and I have plenty of energy to go out and make it til bar close. I won’t be able to tell you exactly how long this drink lasts as things might get hazy before I realize
that I have ran out of juice. So I will give the Amp energy review for kick a solid 8. I might come back and change the score if I go home early tonight, but I would not count on it.

Amp Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
Tastes like Mountain Dew with a hint of green tea. The green tea does not leave a horrible aftertaste but it is noticeable. I am not going to be able to give the best review for kick as I will be going out for a couple (and by couple I mean 10-12) drinks. The initial kick I got from Amp was quite good and it has lasted for
about three hours but that is the extent of me filling you in on the kick it gives you. So for the final judgment I will give it a respectable 8.5, especially since it is about $0.50 cheaper than the average drink.

Feel free to chime in with how long you feel the kick from Amp lasts if you have tried it before.

180 Energy Drink Review

Cost: $2.00
Cost Per Ounce: $.025
Active Ingredients: Caffeine, Guarana
Taste Rating: 9.0
Kick Rating: 8.5
Final Judgment Rating: 8.5
Energy Drink Ratings Explained

180 Energy Drink Review:
This popular drink comes from none other than Anheuser Busch. Every one is probably familiar with Anheuser Busch as well as the 180 energy drink that they make but I thought I would throw my two cents in on the issue and right up a review on this 8.2 ounce drink that is supposed to cause me to do a 180 when I drink it.

180 Energy Drink Review: Taste
After the first gulp I was not sure if I was going to like the 180 energy drink because it tasted like a lot of the other well known drinks. However, this orange-citrus flavored drink actually grew on me. Now I remember why I used to drink 180 energy so often, they taste sweeeeet! 180 also comes in a sugar free version that I
have yet to try, but I assume it would taste just like the majority of sugar free, zero calorie energy drinks out there; like nothing. The 180 drink review for taste gets a pleasing 9.

180 Energy Drink Review: Kick
If you are looking for a heart stopping stay up all night kick you might have found it in the 180 energy drink. This drink has a high amount of caffeine compared to other energy beverages. 180 has 11.25 mg per ounce of caffeine, compare that to Red Bull’s 9.6 mg per ounce and you got yourself a little extra kick. Although not the strongest drink I have ever had, I would have to give the 180 energy review for kick a strong 8.5. If you want a strong drink try the Chaser Energy Drink.

180 Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
Alright it tastes good, it packs a pretty decent kick and it cost about the same as every other energy beverage out there ($2.00). You can get these in bulk as they are nationally distributed by Anheuser, so you can save a little money there. As far as energy drinks go this one is pretty high up on my list, I just would not start an all night cram session with this one, but if you just need a little extra kick to get you going then this will do the trick. My final judgment on this drink is an 8.5, good price, good taste, pretty decent kick. It would get a better rating if they made it cheaper!

5 Hour Energy Drink Review

Five Hour Energy

Active Ingredients: Caffeine (mainly), B6, B12, Taurine
Taste Rating: 8.5
Kick Rating: 9.5
Final Judgment Rating: 9.5 - The Energy is Worth IT!
Energy Drink Ratings Explained

5 Hour Energy Drink Review
These guys are going to corner the college market! First they give you the Chaser 5 Hour Energy drink so you have enough juice to go out and party all night, then to complement this they give you Chaser Plus Freedom from Hangovers so you don't get a hangover the next morning. What more could a college kid ask for, energy, booze and no headache? Well enough of that, onto the 5 Hour Energy Review.

5 Hour Energy Drink Review: Taste
This little two ounce bugger might not win a taste award but it is actually not too bad. This energy drink definitely tastes better than the comparable Rocket Shot Energy Drink. The good thing about this drink it is that it is only 2 ounces and it is in a nice berry flavor. If it was a 10 or 20 ounce drink I don’t think I could finish the whole thing. Again, a little warning. Before you slam this little bugger make sure you shake well, other wise you are going to get some flavor crystals in your last gulp. The Chaser 5 Hour Energy review for taste gets a good 8.5. After all it does taste better than the Rocket Shot Energy Drink. If you are not too fond of the berry flavor you can try out there new 5 Hour Lemon Lime flavor.

5 Hour Energy Drink Review: Kick
We established that the taste was not to bad, luckily for us the kick this little 2 ounce bugger gives off is tremendous. I would definitely say the claim of lasting for five hours is true. This is definitely on par, if not way better than the Bawls Energy that I reviewed earlier. In fact I would say that this energy drink gives off even more of a kick than the Bawls Drink. So a bigger kick in only 2 ounces! After saying that, The Chaser Five Hour Energy Drink review for kick gets a huge 9.5.

5 Hour Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
The taste was not the greatest but it was not to shabby either, but you only have to slam 2 ounces worth of berry flavor (or you can try the new lemon lime flavor as well). On the plus side the Five Hours of Energy that this little bugger gives off is huge. This has given me the most energy for the longest amount of time out of all the drinks I have tried so far. On top of that there was no energy crash! The bad thing about this drink is that it is $2.99, but buying in bulk does save you quite a bit of money. For the final judgment I would have to give the drink a high 9.5 because you get a huge kick in a little 2 ounce pack!

Check them out at 5 Hour Energy, you won't be disappointed!

Looks like they have an updated site! Same URL with some new additions. I especially liked the article on Siesta Syndrome. I am sure all of you business people can relate to this. I know I can.
