Wake The Fu*k Up Coffee Review:
Alright I normally strictly stick to Energy Drinks and Shots but every once in awhile I will vary and do a Coffee Review. Now they are few and far between but some argue that coffee is really the first mainstream energy drink. Couple that with the name of Wake the Fu*k Up Coffee and their funny slogans ("Sleep is for the Dead" and "This is clearly a better option than the Caffeine IV Drip" and you have what should be an interesting review. A little background perhaps... Wake the Fu*K Up Coffee was founded by a group of Creative and gutsy entrepreneurs with backgrounds in the Food, and Beverage Industry and Media. The coffee comes in a normal and a censored version (keeps the f bomb out of the packaging in case you have children or just not a fan of the f bomb). They currently come in one pound packs for $10.

Wake The Fu*k Up Coffee Review: Taste
So I am far from a coffee guru, but I do like to have a morning cup of coffee on occasion. When I do have this coffee I don't add sugar, cream, cinnamon or any of that other girly crap. I'll take my coffee black please... Anyways, the coffee beans seem rich and full and give you a dark blend, but the taste seems on par with most mass market middle end coffee blends (Think Folgers / Hills Brothers) you get in the supermarket. Anyways, the majority of the people probably are not buying this for the taste, but for the nice packaging. Which brings us to the question... Is this a novelty or is this the real deal? To me if they meet the claims of being an "extra strong" coffee than Wake The Fu*k Up Coffee may go above and beyond a novelty. So let's move on to the kick review. Taste Rating - Average (Energy Drink/Shot Rating Does Not Really Apply)

Wake The Fu*k Up Coffee Review: Kick
So is this an extra strong coffee? How does it compare to normal coffee or even energy drink or shots for that matter? Again not being a coffee guru and not having a ton of other coffee's to compare to (so yeah it's my opinion), I feel that Wake the Fu*k Up delivered a more than substantial kick. After two cups of coffee I was wide awake and alert at 6 a.m. I was a tad more spry that when drinking my normal cups of coffee (Im not even brand loyal), but I wasn't bouncing off the walls. Regardless it did give me more than the wake up I was looking for... so yes, it packed more of punch than your typical cup of coffee. In terms of comparing it to an energy drink, I think two cups of Wake The Fu*k Up would be about as strong as a 16 Ounce Monster Energy Drink. Kick Rating - 8.5

Wake The Fu*k Up Coffee Review: Final Judgment
Yeah it is stronger than your typical cup of coffee, but the price is a tad higher as well. I don't believe this is purely a novelty product as it does what it is told... However, the Gift Set they sell on their website for $30 would be perfect for someone who loves coffee and has a sense of humor. The WTFU Coffee Mug is a nice touch. So for a decent taste and an above average kick WTFU gets a final judgment rating of 8.0.

Monster Energy - Nitrous Anti-Gravity Review:
In the past I had shied away from the more Mainstream Energy Drinks as I felt they received enough coverage as is. But with an every expanding (and improving?) lineup I made a promise to start reviewing and providing more coverage of these Mainstream Drinks in the future. So today is the day as I work on expanding my reviews of Monster Energy Drinks. And to start I will pick Monster Anti-Gravity from their Nitrous lineup which also has Super Dry and Killer B. So let's see how the Monster Anti-Gravity Energy Drink performs in the taste and kick test.

Monster Energy - Nitrous Anti-Gravity Review: Taste
To be honest it has been quite some time since I reviewed anything from Monster. It's not for the lack of product, as they have a ton to choose from, it's more along the lines of me being swamped with review requests from start-ups and other small time drinks. Regardless, in the past I was not the most impressed with the taste of these drinks. However, starting with new flavors (now several years old) like Khaos and M-80, I started to appreciate Monster a little more. And with the new Anti-Gravity Monster Energy Drink, I think they have improved even more. Anti-Gravity is part of Monster's Nitrous lineup... all of which include a combination of Nitrous Oxide and Carbon Dioxide and come in Monster's new battery type can's. So what does Anti-Gravity with Nitrous and Carbon Dioxide taste like? Well the flavor itself is kind of fruity and tropical, which IMHO is the best so far I have tasted from Monster. The combination of Nitrous and Carbon Dioxide seem to give off a highly carbonated vibe, but without the effects of normal highly carbonated drinks (and by this I mean bloated and burping all the time). So to sum up the taste is very well received, especially as it seems to have any medicinal aftertaste at all, which to me is huge. Kudos to Monster on this one! Taste Rating - 9.4

Monster Energy Anti-Gravity Review: Kick
So sure this is the highest taste review any Monster Drinks have received from me in the past, but how will this new Anti-Gravity perform in the most important category (kick)? Will the Nitrous lineup prove more powerful than the original lineup even though it is only 12 ounces vs the normal 16 ounces??? Well the total energy blend is 5000 milligrams which is the same as a normal 16 ounce Monster Energy (2500 milligrams per serving). But remember, Anti-Gravity only comes in a 12 ounce can... so in essence you are getting a bunch more energy ingredients per ounce in the Anti-Gravity compared to the original lineups... You get roughly 312.5 milligrams of energy blend per ounce in a normal 16 ounce Monster. In the new Anti-Gravity Nitrous lineup you get roughly 417 milligrams of energy blend per ounce. That's nothing to be shy of and IMHO is a nice increase, which I definitely felt. Kick Rating - 8.9

Monster Energy - Nitrous Anti-Gravity Review: Final Judgment
Well Anti-Gravity, my first review from Monster's Nitrous lineup was more than positive and is definitely my most favorable review yet pertaining to Monster. Not only was the taste delicious, but the energy blend was increased (per ounce) making the kick that much better. So if you have yet to try one of Monster's New Nitrous drinks, I suggest you give them a try. They turned this cynic into a believer... Final Judgment - 9.3

Penthouse Energy Drink Review - Wild Berry
I want to start off by apologizing to all the loyal followers of this site... I know it has been awhile since I reviewed any Energy Drinks. However, it's a new year so I promise to plug away and review as many as I can (while still getting SOME sleep). Anyways, the first review of 2010 will be the Penthouse Energy Drink (Wild Berry). The 12 ounce Penthouse Energy Drinks also come in lemon lime, citrus punch and sugar free, all of which I will review at some point in time. Penthouse is toting these new drinks as both for the active athlete (hence the low calorie count) and as mixers (just plan old penthouse style...). I have to say, that I am a little excited... I mean aroused... I mean I can't wait to give it a try. Enough fluff let's check this new drink out.


Penthouse Energy Drink Review - Wild Berry Taste
First off I would like to say that the can is actually very stylish. At first I was a little disappointed that there was no nudity on the can, but then I realized I don't think Penthouse is going for a novelty energy drink. Instead the cool artwork leads to a more sophisticated looking can. Anyways back to the taste review. As the 12 ounce carbonated can says, it has a distinct wild berry taste. However, unlike berry energy drinks of old that had syrupy bitter tastes, Penthouse Wild Berry was far from it. You could almost say Penthouse was pure (as in taste). The carbonation was not overwhelming, although I don't know if I would consume before a workout... but as a mixer this would be great. And all of this with only 75 calories for the entire 12 ounce can. Taste Rating - 8.7

Penthouse Energy Drink Review - Wild Berry Kick
Pure Wild Berry taste, but will Penthouse deliver the "rise" I am looking for. Well at 150 milligrams of caffeine, 1125 milligrams of taurine, a plethora of b-vitamins and 25 milligrams of Xian Cao (Ginseng) I got the energy I was looking for. It was not over the top or even close to over the top for that matter, but I don't think that is what Penthouse Clear is going for. The energy ingredients pretty much put this drink in the middle of the pack, which is more than enough to provide sustained energy for most of the population. And with only 18 grams of sugar (compared to 75 + in normal energy drinks), the crash effect was pretty much non-existent... as the can says... clearly stimulating! Kick Rating - 8.5

Penthouse Energy Drink Review - Wild Berry Final Judgment
I have to say that when I first heard of this energy drink, I figured that it would be just another novelty product.... But nothing is farther from the truth. With a sophisticated design, great taste and a kick that is clearly stimulating, Penthouse Clear is the real deal. I don't know where they are available yet, but on their website it states that you can purchase them online. If anyone knows feel free to chime in below in the comments section. Final Judgment - 8.6
