Energy Week In Review May 24th, 2013

We spent most of this week working on social network buttons, you know the obligatory twitter and facebook buttons that are on every site on the internet now? As a result, I invested a great deal of effort into integrating those stupid buttons with xml http requests and other things you don't care about. Unfortunately, when my parent company is busy, no reviews, particular since we're currently making jack squat from this site (thanks to the FDA, and some silly wrongful death lawsuits helping to dry up all the venture capital previously present in the energy product sector). So, since this site is currently a wasteland of copious traffic meandering through with nothing to sell to them, I can't make it a top priority. So, here are this week's review videos. Youtube Energy Reviews Monster Baller's Blend by TheReviewLab We've yet to review this flavor, though we've...read more Energy Week In Review May 24th, 2013

Energy Week In Review May 17th, 2013

Pink Monster Everywhere Beverage Daily Reports that Monster Halts Plans to Make Ultra Pink. Monster had planned on making a third installment to the "Ultra" line, further expanding the almost completely homogenous line, as they've done with Java Monster and Rehab Tea. Also, they were kind enough to site our thoughts on Monster Ultra Blue. Speaking of Rehab Teas and pink things, Wreckless Eating got hold of the new Monster Rehab Pink Lemonade (yet another rehab), and posted a good review. Unlike Wreckless Eating, we hope they stop making new Monster Rehab Teas. New Energy Drinks (Not Yet Reviewed) While browsing the Asian market, we came upon Guiness Malta, which they describe as "Goodness, Energy, Vitality No Alcohol Malt Drink". There are few things I'm more excited about than an energy drink by...read more Energy Week In Review May 17th, 2013

Energy Drink Myths and Misconceptions

Red Bull Taurine Comes from Bull Testicles/Genitals/Semen A single natural source of taurine is bull bile, but it also comes from foods like meat and fish. In the past, Red Bull had addressed directly on the Red Bull website that their taurine did not come from bull bile, and that it was chemical grade, produced in a lab. Energy Drinks Will Make Women Look Manly Not sure where this one came from, but unless this is referring to the sugar making a woman look like a fat man, I don't think there's any scientific ground to make a legitimate argument for this. Energy Drinks Contain (Unsafe) Amounts of Caffeine Well, most of the major labels contain around 10 milligrams per fluid oz. Most brewed coffee contains double that, and some premium coffees contain triple that amount. Even most 16fl. oz. energy drinks contain fewer milligrams of caffeine than a premium...read more Energy Drink Myths and Misconceptions

Top 10 Energy Drinks for Diabetics

*As with all our content, the following is not intended to be medical advice, you should consult a physician before starting a new energy supplement regimen In no particular order, here are the energy drinks I would drink if I were diabetic. Xyience Xenergy Frostberry BlastOne of the most delicious sugar-free drinks we've ever tasted. It's a touch expense for our taste from most sources, but sometimes you can get them on sale at Bodybuilding.com or GNC. Xenergy has a reasonable smattering of caffeine (we've read between 92-102 milligrams per 8oz serving), and a load of B-vitamins. Rockstar Zero CarbIf you're looking for a heavy hitter with zero sugar and zero carbs, look no further. 120 milligrams of caffeine per 8oz. Serving. Who cares if it has taurine, vitamins, and all that other mess (which it does),...read more Top 10 Energy Drinks for Diabetics

Monster Energy Ultra Blue

Energy

Taste

Price

In true Monster fashion, they took a relatively good idea, and made another product that's pretty much the same. Ultra Blue is not a bold step away from Zero Ultra (which we liked). Ultra Blue tastes like the juice that's in a fruit cap snack, that's been carbonated, only with all the bold natural sugar sweetness replaced with muted artificial sweetener. It's safe to say that I like Ultra Blue as well, but we really only need one of this flavor. Even if you're diabetic, you have to be getting tired...more Monster Ultra Blue Sugar Free product information

Government in Lawsuit Pissing Match with Monster Energy

Dennis Herrera (a panty stain in the already soiled world of the American judicial system), is trying to make a name for himself in the media by suing Monster. He'll never do anything worthwhile, but if he can waste your tax dollars to get in a couple of Yahoo! News articles, he can go home feeling like he legalized gay marriage and cured HIV. What's his beef? Apparently, Monster has been "marketing its drinks to children despite scientific findings that he said show such products can cause health problems", per an Associated Press release. I can't tell you how wrought with issues the former statement is, but I'll try. Monster's Marketing Motorsports, Xtreme sports and half-naked women. I know, I've tried to convince Monster to do relevant online advertising with me for years. They don't do online advertising, or almost any of the traditional...read more Government in Lawsuit Pissing Match with Monster Energy

Xyience Xenergy Black Tea Raspberry Acai

One of the things we like best about Xyience Xenergy drinks is that they don't taste like they're saturated with artificial sweetener. Someone gave me a Tab diet drink when I was a kid, I thought I was sick because clearly some adult had attempted to sneak a crushed up children's aspirin into my soda. I have that same "Who tampered with my drink?" feeling with about half the sugar-free energy products I sample. The sucralose was used sparingly and to delicious effect. Xyience Xenergy's Black Tea Raspberry Acai has a...more Xyience Xenergy Tea product information

Price

Do you want the absolute cheapest energy drink on the planet? As long as you don't care that it tastes like cherry cough medicine mixed with a dozen Sweet 'N Low packets, Food Lion Energy Water Enhancer is the perfect drink for your, cheapskate. Around 12 cents per serving, Food Lion's less palatable answer to MiO's energy water enhancer, may be the cheapest on the market. We acquired this energy mixer for a full dollar less than MiO's offering (a product that already received a perfect 10 value rating) and Food...more Food Lion Energy Water Enhancer product information

Let me start by apologizing if the Roaring Lion logo was designed by anyone under 10 years old, or someone who is developmentally challenged. If that's the case, it's an excellent depiction of a lion, but the following comments relate to the logo's merit as corporate branding material. Roaring Lion, unquestionably to me, has the worst logo in the world of energy drinks. Additionally, Roaring Lion's new 16.9oz. Bottles are nice, but even with the package redesign, the eye sore 60's cartoon style lion logo remains. For those about to...more Roaring Lion Au Natural product information

As I woke up to another fine morning in United Socialist America, I asked myself, what do the oppressed lower class, who only have hours of Youtube videos and a host of iPhone games on their unlimited data plan to comfort themselves, need to entertain themselves as they barely scrape by on the pittance to which they are entitled from overprivileged middle class? The answer, I should review a product from a small company, probably one almost no one has heard of, a mom and pop affair, that should be out of business soon. ...more KLR BZ Livid product information
