The same French jester with 8 balls on his hat, and squid skeleton heads as the regular joker, only with a nauseating blue background twist. Apparently "the reason we call it Mad Energy is 'cause Joker is loaded with a high potency energy blend to give you a lift when you need it most!" The makers go on to say, "So, whether you just need to make it through the day or party", (like a rockstar?), "all night grab a Joker Mad Energy and you'll be ready for the fight". (I wasn't aware there was going to be a fight) "Joker Mad Energy...Outrageous". (Truly, truly, truly outrageous? By the way...Jem is my name)

Active Ingredients *Per can, not per serving:
Taurine 2000 mg, 5000 mg Energy Blend including caffeine, ginseng, inositol, and glucose. Coincidentally, the back of this can looks exactly like the back of the Lo-Carb Monster can. It also has the exact same amount of C vitamin, B vitamins, niacin, sugar, carbs, calories, and sodium. Not to mention they have the same fonts, and the can layout is the same.... hmmm The only difference is that Lo-Carb Monster has L-Carnitine as the main ingredient in it's energy blend.

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 Lo-Carb is the same thing as the blue Monster. It looks smells and tastes exactly the same. Uh-oh, coincindentally, the lo-carb Joker can is blue too!! I wonder why that is.. and why it's so hard to find any information about Joker Mad Energy. Is it posible that it was released by the same company to try to trick us? This is just like that time that Stephen King released that book under an alias to see if anyone would buy it. People with lots of money will do things like that to try to trick us common folk.

I really enjoy Monster Lo-Carb, and since this one is exactly the same, you'd think that I am going to give it the same marks. But I'm not because Joker is copying Monster, and no one likes a copycat.

Jason's Review:
This drink was better when it was called Monster Lo-Carb. If I closed my eyes I could almost imagine enjoying a tall chilled can of the "blue" Monster. The taste was good, but, like a Puff Daddy/P. Diddy/Diddy song, not very original.

I disagreed with the naming of the regular mad energy, as I didn't think it made any sense. The Joker doesn't look mad, he looks like a date rapist. The Lo-Carb on the other hand, is aptly named, as that blue color makes me furious. I was so mad when I consumed the Joker Lo-Carb, I wanted to smash the can against my head, but I'm a pansy, so I scolded it verbally. I think it learned its lesson. Seriously, the energy was about the same as a Monster Lo-Carb as well.

All-in-all, I'd certainly buy it if they were out of Monster Lo-Carb, but I'd wrap something around it, maybe a happy bunny spaz juice can sticker.

is the vanilla after taste intentional or unintentional? I liked it. The can design looks like it was swiped from a head shop. I'm not surprised it ended up at Big Lots!

I love the taste of the no sugar, blue can Joker Mad Energy.I've been buying them for a few years and now the Circle K's in FL where I usually get them are no longer going to carry them. This is bad news to me. I would like to know if there is another store that I can purchase them from.

This stuff is beast, my Dad buys it because he's gungho low carb. It doesn't taste like anything low carb or diet Though the joker looks like a pedophile.

I agree. This tastes exactly like Monster, but no complaints from me, because I love Monster. My local Dollar Tree sells this "Lo-Carb Joker Mad Energy", and I was skeptical of the awkward looking package, with the same font as Monster surrounding the rim of the can, but I'll definitely get it again, because Monster is what... $2-$3, and I can get this for $1!!! I hate when companies don't release the info on how much caffine is in the beverage though. I don't care if it's only 60mg, or if they're outstanding and put 300mg in, I would just like to know!

I didn't think Joker Mad Energy wasn't that bad, IT kinda made my Chest Hurt for a little bit and then gave me a head ache, Its taste was kinda like a watered down monster.
