Can Text:
Extreme Nos comes in a big plastic bottle. It's all orange except for a light yellow starburst like effect behind the Nitro-Punch text, as well as some reddish orange bubbles behind the Pumped text. It also says Pre-workout on the top of the bottle. They also state that this is meant to be consumed, half before your workout session, and the remainder throughout the rest of the session. It's really just a plastic bottle with a plastic label shrink wrapped around it. You can tell because the label is a little crooked, not as bad as Spaz Juice, but a similar method.
Active Ingredients *Per can, not per serving:
Extreme Nos claims to help promote nitric oxide synthesis, then in small print it says "These statements have not ben evaluated by the FDA". It does have arginine, glycerine, folic acid, potassium, and 200mg of caffeine.
Angie's Review: Reviews posted after May 2007 are written by a guest reviewer referred to from this point forward as "The Stig".
I was a bit nervous about this drink because it came from a fitness store, and the guy who showed it to me said something about stomach discomfort. I like bottles more than cans because I feel like I won't spill it, but then I think it takes me longer to drink them. Extreme Nos is non-carbonated, and even though it says on the front of the bottle that it is not a low calorie product, I think it is. For a 20oz bottle 60 calories is not that much. Most 8.4oz cans average about 120 calories.
With 200mg of caffeine I definitely felt pumped after this one, but getting it down proved to be a bit rough. If you crunched up some Flinstone vitamins and mixed it with some Sweet N Low, that's what it tasted like. In fact I think I might've felt some of the crunchy remnants of the Flinstones going down. Maybe that was why I felt like my throat hurt. Only when I was actually drinking Extreme Nos, something about it hurt the back of my throat and made it an uncomfortable experience.
For a 20oz bottle $2.75 really isn't unreasonable, but it still seems like a lot. Enduring the unpleasant sore throat for all 20oz was not my idea of a great energy drink.

This drink reminds me of those shirts you see in Asia that are American-like, they'll have some GI Joe-looking characters running from an explosion with some crazy text like "Justice Champions", or "Fight for Win". Extreme NOS Pumped should certainly be a Mountain Dew product.
Firstly, I liked the taste, for any of you who drank the old "Proformance" sport drink that was around in the early 90's, this tastes a lot like that stuff. I thought it went down smoothly, and was very refreshing when cold. Like an extremely caffeinated Gatorade (I hesitate to compare it to Gatorade at all, as the Proformance is such an accurate taste comparison, but I doubt many have had it).
I can't question the amount of caffeine this drink has, and it's a lot, the same amount as a Vivarin tablet. Perhaps the day I drank it I was exceptionally tired, and it took an exceptional amount of caffeine to even get me to so-so, but I didn't feel it like I'd expected to feel it...deep in my loins.
Overall, for the amount of caffeine alone, this is a pretty good value, and since it didn't taste like dookie, but has a stupid name, it gets "Mega Ultra Super Score".

I like the taste especially it's non carbonated. It definitely gives energy. I can drink half of the bottle and i'm wired. It also suppresses my hunger. I drink Extreme NOS Pumped whenever I have lots of cravings and it curves my appetite. It's an expensive drink but it does the job.
