Can Text:

I've removed the "!!!" for ease of typing only, let it be known that "Crunk" is always officially followed by three exclamation points. As you might expect, "Get Crunk!!!" is the primary selling point for Crunk Energy Drink. The can is very well designed, and as I found from some of the photos online, the logo and colors also look good on hats, jerseys. Silver, red and black are the colors. As for text, there's a good deal of it, around the top, "replenish, stimulate, refresh, invigorate, arouse, energize", hold on, did that say "arouse"? I'm sure that's a typographical error. "Contains real pomegranate juice", "With Ashwaganda" (ashwaganda is also known as " Indian ginseng", and is supposed to provide strength and help the body resist disease). The bottom of the can has a list of ingredients, and Crunk offers a great deal of ingredients I've not seen in other energy drinks, mixed with some of the usual suspects. "Ginseng, Skull Cap, White Willow, Horny Goat Weed". As a single adult male, I'm somewhat concerned about being "stilumated", and "aroused" with "horny goat weed".

Active Ingredients *Per can, not per serving:
Crunk Energy drink starts off with a reasonable 100mg of caffeine, reinforced with Inositol, Green Tea Leaf, Damiana (reputed to help with energy, emphysema, low estrogen, frigidity, hot flashes, impotency, infertility, menopause, Parkinson's disease, PMS, inflammation of prostate, Lou Gehrig's disease, and more dealing with reproductive organs in both males and females.) ¹, L-Carnitine, Licorice (not sure if this is supposed to have any other medicinal/herbal value other than as an expectorant, and to stop anal leakage), Guarana, L-Tyrosine, Horny Goat Weed (a.k.a. Barrenwort, Bishop's Hat, Fairy Wings, or Yin Yang Huo. Essentially notable for having aphrodisiac qualities), N Acetyl L-Cysteine, Ginko Biloba, Panax Ginseng, Grape Seed Extract, Skull Cap (after some research, I found too many species of plant going by this name to determine which is used in Crunk, and what purpose it serves), White Willow (used to remedy aches and fevers), Ashwaganda (provide strength and help the body resist disease), Milk Thistle (promotes liver health). On top of all that, we've still got vitamins to cover (amount/USRDA): Vitamin C 30mg/50%, E 7.5iu/25%, B1 375mcg/25%, B2 1.7mg/100%, B3 20mg/100%, B6 2mg/100%, B12 6mcg/100%, B5 10mg/100%, Calcium 50mg/5%, Magnesium 12mg/4%, Selenium 5mcg/5%.

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 time I saw this product, I thought it was a gimmick. "Someone's trying to capitalize on Lil Jon's popularity", I thought to myself. Lil Jon's probably never even drank this before, or so I thought. Firstly, it's far from a gimmick, this product appears to have more thought in the formulation process than the vast majority of products herbal/remedy/energy products on the market. With the unique blend of herbs and spices utilized in this drink, you might want to start calling Lil Jon "the Colonel". The taste is almost as pleasing as KFC's original recipe as well. I love pomegranate, and this stuff taste awesome. It's also exceptionally refreshing served iced cold.

As much as I personally like Pimpjuice, particularly the taste, I don't particularly associate Nelly with energy, at least not like I do Lil Jon, most of the time, Lil Jon looks like a 6 year old living on a steady diet of birthday cake and Mountain Dew.

From my understanding of "Crunk", I'll have to admit, I'm not sure how Crunk Energy Drink can get you Crunk, but after all, who am I to argue with "The Kings of Crunk"? I mean, he's "Lil Jon, Ok!?!" Even if I whole-heartedly disagreed with Lil Jon on this drink getting me crunk, I have to ask myself, "What You Gonna Do?"

I can only recommend this product to married people, as I'm for traditional marital monogamous relationships, and from my experience, it's best you are a part of such a relationship when consuming this product. In case I need to be vaguer, I wouldn't drink it before leaving your wife to set sail on a 12 month naval tour of duty. Less vaguely, I'm not as skeptical concerning the effectiveness of horny goat weed.

At $2, I'd normally scoff at any 8.3oz. drink. If I were you, I wouldn't be too quick to discredit this drink, it's like Floyd Mayweather, not very big, but it packs quite a punch.

Jason's Review:
With a name like "Crunk!!!" and a personality like Lil Jon as the frontman, celebrities and sports stars like Lil Flip, Roy Jones Jr., Paris Hilton, Shannon Elizabeth, and the Ying Yang Twins, this drink has an entourage that drinks like Monster, Red Bull, Rockstar, and Full Throttle will never have. While I like this lineup, I'd like to suggest a possibly overlooked "King of Crunk", Kimbo Slice.

Why add Kimbo Slice to Team Crunk?

Look at that cup. Put some diamonds on that, and it's fit to drink from

He'll knock a hata out, he's a head bussa

That gold fist likely feels like he has a midget hangin' from his necklace

He looks a little like Grady from "Sanford and Son", and who liked to get Crunk on Champipple more than Grady Wilson?

This drink is awesome in every consumption respect. The price could stand to be lower, but as far as energy (as well as other physiological affects mentioned on the can), and taste, Crunk is a beast. The flavor is tart and enjoyable, and the results of ingestion are invigorating in multiple ways.

This is the most highly recommended $2 8.3oz drink I've ever had. You can get it marginally cheaper if you Buy Crunk Energy Drink online.
