Can Text:
First of all, the can looks very menacing, and definitely gives me the impression that after I drink this I will be MAD!! ..and maybe French... Since he has a long straight mustache and goatee. What's with the 8 balls on his hat? I thought jesters had bells or something. Watch out for those French joker pool players. I like the little skulls with the jester frill things on them, but the smaller version on the top of the can really look like skulls with skirts or squids.
It's impossible to find much information about this soda and the company that makes it because neither have a website. The can states the company's reason for the name is because "Joker is loaded with a high potency energy blend to give you a lift when you need it most!" This reminds me of Dave Chapelle's song in Half Baked "Sampson Gets Me Lifted". Also the "high potency energy blend" is in the majority of energy drinks.
Active Ingredients *Per can, not per serving:
5000mg of their Energy Blend which includes caffeine, ginseng, and guarana as well as 2000mg of taurine and lots of B vitamins.
Angie's Review: Reviews posted after May 2007 are written by a guest reviewer referred to from this point forward as "The Stig".
Joker Mad Energy gave me the shakes like the first time I drank Monster. I think it took a little while to kick in because by the time it did I had already forgotten that I drank the soda. (I suffer from short term memory loss) So I was a bit confused when I felt jittery.
Now for the bad news. Mad energy tasted like syrup. Only syrup. The carbonation was gone after the second sip, so it wasn't even like carbonated syrup. I made my stomach hurt a bit too. It wasn't like a stomachache, but like when you know something is going on in there that you don't want to add anything to.
Mad Energy? Definetely yes, but only if you can tolerate that the 'joke' is the taste.

Joker Mad Energy is really thick, and leaves a taste residue that lingers for some time. It's like the pasty mouth you get after drinking the 64oz. coke through all 3+ hours of "Lord of the Rings The Return of the King". I think I was more thirsty after drinking it. It tasted pretty good, but is high in sodium, and fairly high in calories. I'd say this drink is more for cola drinkers, people who like Coke and Pepsi. That's not to say it tastes exactly like a cola, but I'd put it more in that genre than calling it a citrus beverage, for instance.
As for energy, a healthy serving of the usual energizers makes this a fairly energizing drink. I was plenty awake and alert to write some code during and after consuming the "Mad Energy". It didn't really make me mad, but jumping around a little wouldn't have been completely out of the question.
The 16oz. can, as usual, a pretty good price for a slightly above average drink.

I found Joker Mad Energy Drink at my local Dollar store, and bought 5. Now I'm buying more! It tasted like Monster, maybe even better! Buy it if you find it cheap!

I really like Joker Mad Energy. It's good because it does not kill my stomach when i throw one back without eating like some other brands (And trust me that is the worse pain i have ever felt)

I have just discovered Joker and Joker Juice at the local BigLots... and I must say, I am very pleased with my findings. They both taste great, Joker tastes just like redbull (with slightly less carbonation, most likely due to the sitting on the shelf) and the Joker Juice taste a lot like Rockstar Juiced. And the best part is... they are $.60 each. I have a reason to go to BigLots now! If you can find these drinks for this price, I recommend you buy them in bulk. Happy hunting. Edited by Jason: I have reason to believe Joker should taste like Monster, but if you say Red Bull, you're certainly entitled to your opinion ;)

I love Joker Mad Energy Drink i got it in Southaven, Mississippi and i can't find it where i live i'm so mad.

Joker Mad Energy is insane, taste is outrageously good, 60 cents in unbeatable
nathan zuniga on 2009-02-12 12:36:04 said:
I really like Joker Mad Energy drink a lot more than others, it really gives me lots of energy and it tastes real good too and I recommend this product to anybody who needs a good energy boost.

Joker reminded me of a very cheap Monster knockoff, but i love it about twice as much as Monster. The aftertaste of this one reminds me a lot of the feeling in your throat if you smell a bit too much gasoline. Now that's power!
Caffeine CRAZED on 2008-11-24 11:58:57 said:
Joker Mad Energy is the BEST VALUE in the energy drink market. Always 60 cents at Big Lots, tastes the same as Monster. You're a SUCKER if you pay more than a dollar for ANY energy drink. DON'T BE A SUCKER!!!
Shane on 2008-11-03 00:59:09 said:
If I'm not mistaken, Joker is the original formula for Monster before it was changed. It's still energizing, and has a great smooth flavor, so it's a thumbs up in my book.

I bought Joker because it was cheap ($1). It tasted like your average energy drink and the kick was decent but it was what you would expect for a dollar.
shawn mccallum on 2008-10-14 18:09:22 said:
joker was my favorite drink then they were all sold out because I bought the last one in town at the exxon. Edited by Jason: According to the comments, apparently you can still get it at Dollar Tree.

I'm glad I tried Joker Mad Energy. I stumbled across this at my local Circle K about 3 years ago. This one kept me awake when I needed it. The price was great too. In California I found it for about a buck fifty a can. This one tastes much better than a redbull. 3 Bucks gets you wired for a whole day. Definitely recommended to try.
Nick Adams on 2008-06-17 00:50:03 said:
I have only found Joker at the Dollar Tree up by where I work, and I think it's the best energy drink I've ever tasted. It reminds you of Red Bull without the nasty... crap taste that Red Bull gives you. Joker is a little lighter on the energy factor so it doesn't make you shake like Rockstar would. It has an orangey-pineapple taste, and I drink it while I work at Home Depot, and it keeps all of the annoying customers at the back of my mind. I would recommend this to anyone who likes energy drinks.

We use to drink Monster!!! Then we found the Jokers at sav-alot. I bought a case, loved them, went back got 2 more cases and now they are out. cant find them anywhere. where do I look???
Mike on 2008-05-30 08:41:30 said:
Joker is one of the better energy drinks i have had. It definitely beats out Red Bull and up here we can get it for $.60 a can. It's a little watered down in taste but makes that up in pure energy.
Katelynn on 2008-05-22 17:31:36 said:
it is discusting and it causes alot of bed wetting anxity and alo to of things it makes u jittery and hyper but it can effect a groing brain and it might make u mental because the cheicals mess up ur brain there bad for u Edited by Jason: This is the first claim I've seen that energy drinks cause bed wetting. I don't wet the bed any more frequently than I did before I started drinking energy drinks
Marian on 2008-05-20 10:27:25 said:
I LOVE the taste of Joker Mad Energy. The PROBLEM I have is that we don't get it in Indiana, and when I do find it I buy it by the cases.
tyler on 2008-05-19 13:01:41 said:
joker energy is gr8 altho the low carb is not as good. The part of the low carb i dont like is the after taste.i have not had the orange but i heard its good. joker definitely tastes like monster a lil more sugar tho but i am a big fan. (you can get joker at big lts for 60 cents. or some dollar stores sell them for 1.08)
jon morrow on 2008-05-14 19:37:25 said:
Joker is my favorite, but i can no longer find it, i liked the orange the best, but dont see it no more

Joker tastes like monsters hella good
Mike on 2008-04-26 02:32:23 said:
First tried Joker maybe 2 years ago, before I even had red bull. Red bull is gross compared to this. I'd drink a can of this and it'd keep me up all night for work. Circle K stopped selling it recently and I found it at Big Lots. Sixty Cents each. Bought 15 of them. Their are so many other disgusting energy drinks they sell, not sure why people buy them. Joker Mad Energy is THE best.
Melissa on 2008-04-18 18:22:16 said:
Yeah I totally agree that Joker Mad Energy tastes like Red Bull but it needs more of a kick... like a "POW!!" I know with all the laws its hard to add more stuff but come on, I know whats best for me and I want more of the "POW!!!" JitteryNot. Melissa:)
jU on 2008-04-17 22:35:26 said:
I tried this...as angie says for the menacing..i guess look of the can.the 8 balls?....huh..i thought it had a full throttle taste but so do alot of the energy drinks thinking to dream BIG....HA! but fairly well i hated eating after it.tastey tho.
fredxday on 2008-04-07 20:03:21 said:
at the local save-a-lots here in michigan joker mad energy is only 69 cents
Philbert on 2008-04-04 17:30:31 said:
Joker Mad Energy drink is made by Hansen. Big Lots sells it for 60 cents a can! BTW, Ace Energy drink is also made by Hansen. You can get it at the 99 Cent Store. Joker and Ace are bargains!

Thought Joker was cool. Buying this from now on.
Chris Labean on 2008-03-30 11:35:35 said:
When I drank Joker Mad Energy it made my hands feel like they were asleep. i had it right before i played a gig and i was crashing halfway through the set. bs.
