Can Text:
The can is a festive holiday green. The rim of the can reads, as if written by the headmaster of all tree huggers at the hippie commune academy, "Energy from natural resources". I should make it abundantly clear that, where my energy comes from means as little to me as where the next Olympics will be held. To compete with Steven Seagal, I believe this drink is actually fully named, "Full Throttle Nature is One Bad Mother Acai Berry Flavored Energy Drink with Other Natural Flavors", which may be the longest name in the history of products...ever. Full Throttle also shares that the drink contains 40% fruit juice, and has "very low sodium" (35mg or less per 8oz. serving).
Active Ingredients *Per can, not per serving:
The following are % off daily value per serving. Vitamin E 10%, Niacin 20%, Vitamin B6 20%, Vitamin B12 10%. Otherwise in completely undocumented amounts, ginseng extract, caffeine, and guarana extract. In retrospect, nature isn't looking like such a bad mother. I've seen $.89 energy drinks with better specs than this.
Angie's Review: Reviews posted after May 2007 are written by a guest reviewer referred to from this point forward as "The Stig".
What have I done to deserve the torment of acai berry? With as bad as 180 Blue was overall, it doesn't begin to compare to the sickening flavor of Full Throttle Nature is a Bad Mother. Firstly, nature is a bad mother, for creating something that taste so abhorrent as what Coca Cola and Anheuser Busch purport acai berry to taste like. Secondly, the primary difference between the two drinks is that 180 Blue lacks the distinct flavor of ginseng root and dirt that Full Throttle cleverly added to their concoction. Without question, the worst of the Full Throttle line of energy drinks, and the only one I'd say has no redeeming quality.
With, what appears to be a sparse peppering of energizing elements "from natural sources", this drink just continued to disappoint the entire way through. At $1.99, it's not vastly overpriced, but with 100 or more $1.99 16oz drinks on the market to enjoy, and probably 30 or 40 at any given convenience store, this one falls somewhere very near the bottom of my recommendation list. I assume they were trying to appeal to people who are like 39th level vegans or something, and perhaps whatever South American population may be in the distribution regions. For this to not still be a completely moot point, I'd have to know if either this drink, or 180 Blue even taste like acai berry, which I'll likely never know.

2Jason's Review:
To me, Full Throttle tastes like a mixture of Korean Ginseng Drink and your girlfriend's dad walking around the house in his saggy boxer-briefs unaware that you were previously engaged in heavy petting on the couch, only worse. I wish I could unsubject my taste buds to the unearthly bad flavor that came out of this can. It really does taste very "earthy", and not in a good way, more like you pulled a raw potato out of the ground, and started eating it, dirt and all.
Not extraordinarily energizing, or even a reasonable value (given that it tastes deplorable), and overall, a disgrace to everything else Coca Cola has done with their other energy drink products. If this tastes even remotely like an acai berry, perhaps it could have some success in the Brazilian market, but I'd recommend pulling it from the shelves here, even if it means doing a recall, and claiming the cans were made in China with lead.

Full Throttle is One Bad Mother basically tastes like apple juice mixed with cyanide. I almost died trying to drink it

This energy drink tastes absolutely atrocious, yet it gives a good kick when you shotgun it.

Full Throttle Mother is seriously the best drink you have ever tasted after drinking about 5, the first is gross but by that fifth can its so amazing! I love this drink...I still have one can but if I drink it I'll never know its taste again...

I wish I could say that I liked Full Throttle Mother.. but I can't.. It taste more like medicine and less like what an enjoyable energy drink should taste like.

How would anyone know what crap out of a toilet tastes like? Edited by Jason: I think the obvious answer is that someone had to fetch a big chocolate hot dog out of the toilet, and take a bite. Fortunately, from now on, you can use Full Throttle Mother as the basis for comparison. Unless you want to eat turd from a toilet? Do you want to eat turd from a toilet?

Full Throttle Nature is a Bad Mother is my favorite energy drink, and I know why it's getting low ratings. It's because the taste *grows* on you - I would not have rated it highly after my first can, either. But after a while (I bought a bunch because they were on sale) I absolutely craved it.
Bill on 2009-01-28 11:06:33 said:
Full Throttle Mother tastes just like puke + cheap beer + cow posterior.

my sis bought Full Throttle Mother for me because she thought it was the monster can i had asked for. All i have to say is that the only way i could drink it was if i was holding my nose. Its just not good.

The first time I had Full Throttle Mother I thought it was terrible. Me and my friends bought a case of it at Big Lots though, so we had to finish it. After drinking and chugging some, it starts to grow on you. It's by no means amazing tasting, but it's not intolerable.

Only people with unique taste can enjoy Full Throttle Mother. i personally think its the best thing i have ever tasted.
Mike! on 2008-06-14 03:02:38 said:
Most disgusting drink out there, i will usually say ok to any energy drink, this on the other hand is TERRIBLE although i like all the other Full Throttle products.
Shane on 2008-04-23 12:25:02 said:
I didn't enjoy the flavor, but it was bearable. It's not as bad as Tab energy, but by no means good. Energy boost was fine, though.
James on 2008-04-17 22:53:31 said:
My freind told me he'd give me 50$ if I chugged the hole thing it wasn't bad till I stopped drinking it.

Full Throttle Mother was terrible - which is probably why I saw it in the dollar store . It taste like I licked my butt

Full Throttle Mother is kind of good
Chris Labean on 2008-03-30 11:38:42 said:
so i got Full Throttle Mother, 4 for a dollar at the dollar tree... i got 12 of them ..and they all sucked.. id just stick with paying a few bucks per energy drink instead of $0.25 for garbage.
rj on 2008-03-25 17:39:58 said:
luckily, this is discontinued. just an awful drink.
John Wayne on 2008-03-20 21:35:22 said:
Truly this is the best drink & flavor full throttle has out there...i'm pissed because everyone has stopped selling this drink!!!
Patrick TeC on 2008-03-18 13:33:50 said:
Ok, i thought Full Throttle Nature is a Bad Mother was going to be a good drink, i went to the dollar store and when i saw like 12 cases just sitting there my thoughts changed, First off it tastes like a tree,but it was ok hyper wise, i am not going lie, it got me pumped, they were selling them for like 25 cents, so i had to buy more.
Blake on 2008-03-14 18:46:40 said:
Man u guys suck. Nature is one Bad Mother is the best energy drink i ever had.
jim on 2008-03-10 14:46:13 said:
Full Throttle Nature is One Bad Mother tastes likes straight dirt and grass. theres a reason why the only cost 25 cents.

kevin on 2008-02-24 08:56:56 said:
yea these Full Throttle drinks do suck but at 2/$1 at dollar tree i had to stock up on these, unfortunately i didn't know that they tasted horrible...well at least i think the energy i get from it inst to bad.

I love Full Throttle Nature is a bad mother, its addicting these ratings aren't very truthful about this
Scott D on 2008-02-16 22:05:42 said:
Full Throttle Nature is One Bad Mother has a unique flavor, and after a few sips I got used to it and it didn't seem bad at all. It gives a very nice rush too.
Bob Jones on 2008-02-13 16:51:39 said:
They had these 2 for $1 at Dollar Tree - I got suckered into buying a couple of them. Tastes like pesticide! Avoid at all costs.
AaronL on 2008-02-10 20:04:50 said:
I just wanted to chime in to say that I too LOVE this flavor -- by far my favorite energy drink. I can't understand these negative reviews! So much better than the "bubble gum" flavor of Red Bull or the super-sweet artificial citrus flavor of regular Full Throttle.

this is really bad it tastes like warheads and lemonade with apple juice.
jont on 2008-02-08 20:21:36 said:
this drink tastes like crap, but at the same time, i love it
ralph on 2008-02-08 20:15:08 said:
tastes like crap out of the toilet
Geoffrey on 2008-01-28 21:10:52 said:
No, it's not as sweet. Yes it's earthy. And guess what?? For some people, that's better! To my tastes, this is one of the best tasting drinks out there. I've gotten so sick of variations on the Sweet-Tart, that this is a welcome change. Then again, I like Mate, while I think that coffee has a stank like old boiled gym-socks.

I tried Full Throttle Nature is a Bad Mother and you guys were right, this tasted like warm soda left in a dumpster for two weeks.
REDY on 2007-12-22 21:14:35 said:
i have tried a lot of energy drinks and this is the worst!!! It tastes like medicine, not berry.
