Can Text:
The can is orange. This is unexpected, as most energy drinks give few, if any, clues as to the contents of the can. Going completely against convention Full Throttle is so candid about their can contents, they actually write on the can "Orange Flavor". Even more interesting is that "orange" is such a descript word for a flavor that almost everyone in the world can identify. This also stands in stark contrast to Full Throttle Blue Demon, which is Agave flavor, and only really familiar to people with an intense tequila drinking problem, and Full Throttle Nature is One Bad Mother, which is described as Acai berry flavor (again with the obscurity), but is more aptly described as "compost heap flavor". Not sure who decided on the font face used for the "Orange Flavor" text, it looks more like it should be on the front of a Scottish Bank/Bar/Brothel. Otherwise, Full Throttle decided to write a motivational paragraph on the back of the can. Here's what the fine peoples at Coca-Cola have to say, "You've been there. Against the odds, you've found yourself in the home stretch ? neck and neck with the other guy. Does he have what you have? The fury inside to go all the way? To never give up or let up? So keep your fire burning by downing another Full Throttle Fury (circle R) packed with 3,000mg (3g, learn to reduce people) of the Full Throttle (circle R) Energy Blend and a bold orange flavor. Because there's only one choice...Go Full Throttle or Go HomeTM. (Yes, that TM is not a joke, or a mistake, it's really on the can.) Lastly, the graphic that demonstrates the 3,000mg energy blend is past confusing. The bar only goes about 2/3 across, but there's no scale on the meter. I think if you're going to call your drink "Full Throttle" it makes sense to use a speedometer/tachometer that indicates "Full Throttle", not a 1974 school nurse thermometer with a reading that indicates you may have a slight fever, treatable by a couple of Tylenol (circle R) and not a serious threat to other students. On a positive note, I admire Full Throttle committing to basing the nutritional information based on 1 serving, instead of 2 (like everyone else). I mean, who's going to drink half this can and save the rest for later?
Active Ingredients *Per can, not per serving:
57g of sugar in this can should get things moving. 100% of daily recommended allowance of Niacin, and 200% of both B6 and B12. Otherwise, unspecified amounts of caffeine, guarana, taurine, carnitine, ginseng, and sucrose.
Angie's Review: Reviews posted after May 2007 are written by a guest reviewer referred to from this point forward as "The Stig".
The first few sips of this drink were smooth. I felt like it was an energized version of Sunkist (circle R), or Orange Fanta (circle R). Based on my flavor enjoyment of NOS Grape(circle R), I was beginning to think that the most obviously overlooked energy drink flavors were the staple generic, mouth staining flavors that Faygo(circle R) and Shasta(circle R) have been peddling for years. Unfortunately, as I continued to drink, some of the repugnant qualities of Full Throttle Nature is One Bad Mother(circle R) started to shine through. The drink became less and less enjoyable through the nearly 4 hours it took me to consume the whole thing. Without question, the warmer it gets, the more sickening the flavor becomes. The initial taste is similar to Sunkist(circle R), but almost immediately after it goes down the hatch, the aftertaste starts to become evident, and it builds over time, like Indian curry dishes.
I also didn't find this drink incredibly energizing. Of course, it took me about 1/4 of a waking day to consume it, so I'm nor sure expecting a profound affect is really fare. Since Blue Demon(circle R), it really just seems like Coca-Cola(circle R) isn't even trying anymore. The Original Full Throttle(circle R) was awesome, and the sugary version of the original Fury(circle R) (which we've yet to review because we're lazy), was also acceptable. I liked Blue Demon(circle R) originally, but I lost a taste for it over time. With these last two offerings (Nature is One Bad Mother(circle R), and Full Throttle Fury Orange Flavor(circle R)), it's like they're just trying to keep up with the number of drinks that Monster(circle R) has on the shelf. I feel they're seriously damaging the brand with these poorly contrived drinks.
This drink costs $1.99, and I fully expect these to be accompanying Nature is One Bad Mother(circle R) on the $.25 rack at the dollar store.

3Jason's Review:
For a drink claiming to have 3g of energy blend, I have to wonder what percentage of that is useless, like Ginseng. I drank a few of these, on two occasions I wanted to take a nap within an hour of drinking it, and on one occasion I actually did take a nap (very restful sleep to boot). One day I painted the house after drinking one, but I think I drank an On Go Energy Shot earlier, which must have counteracted the sedentary affects of Full Throttle Fury Orange Flavor. Anyway, I know the numbers, if not sugar alone, indicate that this drink should be energizing, but I have to convey my findings, and my findings indicate that Full Throttle Fury Orange Flavor is secretly Nyquil.
The taste is fine, it tingles a little going down, almost like it contains some mint, or suffers from the ongoing problem of orange drinks in an aluminum can tasting like aluminum. I can name at least 5 other drinks that you would find in any convenience store that I would buy before this drink for the same price/oz. FYI, those would be Monster Energy, Vault (which is actually less than half the price), Most of the other Full Throttle Flavors, Bookoo Bite, and NOS Grape. That's not including the myriad of energy shots that work much better than this drink (and all the On Go Energy flavors taste better).
At the end of the day, this isn't a deplorable tasting beverage (which Nature is One Bad Mother is), but, like Julia Roberts "acting", there's not a lot to like about it. Sure, it's there, and it's not particularly hurting anyone (unlike Susan Sarandon's "acting"), but essentially it's wasted shelf space. If I worked at the Coca-Cola lab, I would have considered this an academic success, and probably determined that this is a step in the right direction, and with some refining, this could be a shelf-worthy product. Ultimately, I think the powers that be decided to phone it in, throw it out on the shelves and "see how it goes". After 70 years maybe they'll try making "New Full Throttle Fury Orange Flavor", which will be ever worse, then they'll go back to this formula.

what the heck are they thinking? full throttle orange was always gone in the stop and robs, while original and blue demon were there 3 rows deep and not moving but they kept them, retarded if you ask me. orange was the best

I found full throttle orange to be a refreshing change from some of the other energy drinks. I found this page while looking for more info on the product and to see where I could find some surviving cans. I am in wichita ks and its been hard to find for a while. I now drink rockstar but didn't care for it much at first and now its just ok. Would prefer having my two cans a day of full throttle orange. Oh and I don't like the cherry flavor that has taken the place of the orange. PLEASE BRING BACK THE ORANGE!!!

I have tried a lot of different energy drinks and of all the drinks I found the Full Throttle Fury is above all the best drink there is. The flavor is awesome, doesn't leave a bad after taste like all the rest and actually has a great flavor. All the other drinks have a bitter taste, a bitter after taste and no real flavor. I love Full Throttle Fury.

Well, I can say that my husband spent between $450-$600 per month on Full Throttle Fury. I have spent countless hours going from store to store looking for it. I did find some at the Mall of Louisiana two weeks ago. Of course, I bought all they had in stock. Bring this drink back!!! Hard to believe more people drink the blue demon than the orange!!
Michael on 2010-05-17 13:04:02 said:
First off, the disclaimer at the top about if editor/taster ratings are different from public comments, the manufacturer is up to something...that's B.S. And honestly one of the lamest and honestly hypocritical things I've heard. So a lot of people disagree with you on something. Don't wimp out and blame it on the manufacturer.
Full Throttle Fury is the only good energy drink I've ever had. I'll admit that I rate it so high because most other energy drinks are near undrinkable, and taste way too powdery. Other Full Throttles are hit and miss (mostly miss), but they hit on something with Fury. The orange flavor is great. I drank through most of the local gas station's supply every time. They ought to wise up and bring it back.
Edited by Jason: In 2007, when that disclaimer was added, we reset all our user ratings because our voting logs made us well aware that some manufacturers were sabotaging the ratings of other products to get higher comparative ratings. If you want to whine about it, go to Bevnet, we have enough traffic that people pay their employees to sabotage the ratings of other products, I think that speaks a bit more to our credibility than you agreeing with our disclaimers.
The reason this drink has such high ratings is because we're one of the top search results for "Full Throttle Fury Discontinued", and the only people who care to search for that, are people who care (or even bothered to notice) it was discontinued. If you'll take a second to do that math, if the average consumer thought Full Throttle Fury was an 8 out of 10, would they have discontinued it?

I am very upset that the Orange Throttle has been discontinued. I drank it every day and have several coworkers who are as upset as me. Think of all the money lost...$4 a day from just me. BRING BACK the FURY!!!!
JIM on 2009-11-23 14:44:05 said:
There are only two energy drinks that I drink,(grape NOS and Orange full throttle fury) and they discontinue the Orange full throttle in every gas station and stores here from chattanooga to cleveland tn area. WHAT THE HECK!!!!! Bring back the Orange......
BobJ82 on 2009-11-20 13:12:19 said:
I have also been told of Fury's discontinuance, I think its an outrage, Some of these energy drinks are addictive!!! Personally, I could care less for FT original or FT blue demon, but what Fury has and offers, is unlike anything else out there. That's like taking certain beer and certain cigarettes off the market. They are gonna start a war!Edited by Chris: I think you're correct. World War III will begin because of an energy drink being taken off the market.

Full Throttle Orange tastes like an orange soda, kick of energy
andreamcnally on 2009-10-12 16:46:29 said:
I love Full Throttle Fury, I drink it all day, everyday. I just heard from the coca-cola rep that this item is discontinued! I really don't know what I am going to do. I am on my way to Fort Wayne to buy every last can I can find. This sux bad. This is all I drink, everything else tasted horrible oh what to do?? Edited by Jason: It's strange how the drinks we think are awful get discontinued ;) Anyway, I'd recommend trying the Jolt Orange.

The people who reviewed this particular drink obviously have different taste buds then the rest of the human race. I personally buy this stuff whenever Holiday has their 2 for $4 Full Throttle sale. I much prefer many other energy drinks over fury, but it doesn't taste bad in any way shape or form. And no, I don't work for Coca-Cola despite your best suspicions.
JCnArizona on 2009-05-22 08:00:53 said:
Okay- your Full Throttle Fury rating is far from reality, evidenced by this being the first drink to be emptied out on the shelf. I can't stand Monster, Rockstar, Red Bull... just about all the others because they are heavily carbonated and bitter. If you are used to those disgusting flavors then Fury isn't for you. Those who aren't then drink up! I tell people if you need a huge pick me up grab a Fury, if you just need to brighten your eyes stick with the Blue Demon. They seem to have less of a kick. As someone who works 45 hours a week, spends 8 hours a week in school, and 12 hours a week on homework I need a boost every morning. When I can't get a Fury -because they do run out at many stores- I am dragging my rear all day. I will say, though if you never had one don't drink it without food- you will get the jitters. Really.

Gretchen on 2009-01-21 20:25:10 said:
I tried this energy drink and i compared it to others. To me Monster and Rockstar taste like cough syrup. I actually felt like full throttle fury gave me the energy i needed. If u really don't like medicine taste energy drinks i strongly advise you to drink Fury Orange.
gavin_klaus on 2009-01-11 12:19:35 said:
Full Throttle Orange is one of the first energy drinks I had this past summer. It tastes very, very good and would appeal to people who don't necessarily like the taste of most energy drinks. It's similar in taste to Slice and other orange-flavored sodas, so go try it, it's well worth it.
Tinachi on 2008-10-14 18:09:22 said:
I disagree with the above comment. I tried the non-carbonated Full Throttle drink, and it was totally nasty. Its clear and taste like sugar water with a kick. now comparing that with the orange flavor Full Throttle which in my opinion is the best out of all the rest of the flavors. I one time had to work a late shift start drinking it around 6 that evening about 9 I was pump, to the point my heart start racing. I got off at 11:30 that night and I couldn't get to sleep until about 2am the next morning. I guess it just depends on the person, on how a energy drink effects them. But I must say Full Throttle Orange Flavor is the one to drink if you need that burst of energy for a late night.

Full Throttle Fury Orange is not bad, but not good. coca-cola should stick to making sodas.
RUDYKNOWSWHATSGOOD on 2008-04-09 02:44:09 said:
Well, the outright verbal beating given to this amazing energy Drink was very unfair, for starters. I for one, happen to enjoy the NEW FRESH flavors that Full Throttle has to add to the endless line of energy drinks that all seem to taste like water, mixed with a large serving of SweetTarts. *cough..MONSTER..COUGH* ahem excuse me-*COUGH-REDBULL-cough* oh sorry about that. Anyway, because this particular brand of very tasty, energy drink DOESN'T taste like Rockstar, it isnt' "shelf-worthy" apparently. Ok, guys, if you took a second to put down the Rockstar scale you frequently use to compare and contrast other energy drinks to, you'd see that the original flavors of this brand, make for more appealing energy drinks, then cloned liquids with different names. And because pounds of caffeine aren't dumped into this drink, doesn't mean it can't make you "Go full Throttle or go home". but oh wait, I see you've chosen to also lock the door, close the drapes and take a nap....hey, to each his own.
