This is my first attempt at making a video review, or at making a video. Now, for those of us who are poor readers, we can have the reviews spoon-fed to us, like our health care (HOLLA!).
I picked these up a while back, on the way to the Biltmore Estate. I'm glad I chose drink a Rip it Orange that day instead of Stacker 2 Black Jax, because it really could have ruined the entire day. So far, every Stacker 2 Product has not lived up to any person's expectations. In fact, 3 out of 10 is the highest that any of their products that we've reviewed has gotten.
The aroma, something like old fruits, mixed with burnt matches or charcoal. That actually sounds more appetizing than it tastes. To stay that charcoal bits and old fruit is more appetizing than the actual product should be a warning to stay away from it.
Stacker 2 Black Jax, fortunately, does not taste like value brand lipstick, like the canned Stinger products. There is a hint of cherry flavor, under all the medicinal and herbal flavors. It's just bad. It's very thick, not syrupy, but gelatinous. If it weren't labeled as a consumable, I would guess it's for removing paint and wallpaper, maybe a pest killer, wood stain...It just doesn't get any better, if you continue drinking it. It tastes like it might be dangerous for consumption, you might want to induce vomiting.
The aftertaste is perhaps more vile than the original taste. Like right after you throw up, very acid, tingly and very nasty.
I wouldn't say this is entirely noneffective. The 5 out of 10 I've given it for energy is probably overly generous. The energy level is equatable to pretty much any generic energy soda on the market, but the cost is $2.99.
For $3 a bottle, I expect it to be enjoyable, like Bawls Guarana or as energizing as a DynaPep. Stacker 2 Black Jax provides neither. It's completely unenjoyable, it's small (which is good), but it's not that energizing.
I have little or nothing positive to say about the entire Stacker 2 line of products. There is no reason, ever, beside owning an energy drink review website, to ever own, open, consume or eventually have to pour out a Stacker 2 product.

When I opened my Stacker 2 Black Jax, it smells like when you open a vitamin bottle. Which is something of a compliment, since Stacker 2 touts their "10,000%" (that's not a typo) of your daily allowance of B12 and over 100% of 7 different B vitamins. To the dismay of the consumer, apparently B vitamins taste like the Black Death. As much as it tastes like anything, it tastes like a "cherry" decongestant cough medicine. I would argue "bad" would be a more descriptive and better suited way to describe it.
In-Line Ad SpacesI had enough focus, energy and stamina to edit Jason's stupid video review. That's saying a lot, because he can certainly stare at the wall mumbling incoherently for some time. In addition, I actually went to bed a 4AM yesterday, got up at 10AM and did the same today. I have been exercising, which is improving my overall physical condition, I would normally still be pretty world-weary after 6 hours of sleep for a couple of nights. If you're looking for an "energy explosion" (as you might expect to get from the "extreme" on the bottle), this is certainly not it. At best, I as awake and alert more easily than normal.
The price is highway robbery. I would not take one of these if they were giving them away to me. Even with it being marginally energizing, the taste is not worth suffering through to get some alertness. Since this costs $3 more than free, I can't help but give it a ruinous value review.

Can Text:
The Stacker 2 Black Jax looks a lot like Stacker 2 Yellow Jacket. The bottle is red, instead of yellow, the letters and red, instead of black, and there are no killer bees swarming on the Black Jax bottle. They are both stuck in the mid 2000's by including "Extreme" in the "Extreme Energy Shot" text.
The bottle claims "6 hour Power", "New Formula" (would hate to experience the old formula), "10,000% B-12" and "7 B-Vitamins". The text at the bottom reports "1.7 Fl. Oz. 50ml". Lastly, down the side of the bottle, it reads, "Improve Performace, Increase Energy, Enhance Concentration".

Works for me. Lives up to my expectations. Does not taste that great, but that too bad either (haven't used anything that actually tasted good). I use Stacker 2 Energy shots for morning and sometimes before softball or a night work session. I also use the Stacker B12. Maybe its my metabolism but they tend to work longer than 5 or 6 hours for me. I recommend it.
