Can Text:
The can glows in the dark, which sets you apart from all the non-glow-in-the-dark energy drinkers at the party. Then, at LAN parties, noone really cares, but if your case glows, why not your energy drink? "Emerge from the dark world of energy drink overload and activate your senses with the glow of Radioactive Energy. Charged with a hyper-nuclear surge of extreme energy and enforced with essential vitamins, Radioactive Energy gives you twice the rush with a righteous taste like no other. Oh, did we mention that it glows in the dark?"
When I look at the can, I can't help but think about the RV crapper with the Biohazard band sticker scene from Joe Dirt.
Active Ingredients *Per can, not per serving:
Caffeine, a host of B Vitamins, Taurine 1000mg, Guarana 200mg,, Inositol 25mg, L-Carnitine 25mg, Eleutherococcus Senticosus 25mg, Milk thistle 20mg, Ginkgo 15mg.
Angie's Review: Reviews posted after May 2007 are written by a guest reviewer referred to from this point forward as "The Stig".
This stuff is one stage from the candy pullers. It's so sweet, I'm surprised that they managed to get all the sugar to dissolve into that small amount of liquid. I'm not sure if the sugar, the radioactive materials, or some combination of the two were responsible for eating through my teeth. But, like double chocolate chip cookies with peanut butter prove, sugar makes things taste good. As a result, this tastes good.
The drink is a little pricey at $2.50-$3 each, but look, celebrities drink this, and they sell it in Beverly Hills. What do you expect? You're not going to drink a glow-in-the-dark celebrity party drink from 90210 for $.99. This drink is for Dylan McKay, Kelly Taylor and Steve Sanders, not Andrea Zuckerman, Brandon Walsh, and Nat Bussichio.

Normally, I wouldn't factor "bling" into my rating, but when your can becomes a conversation piece, some level of value has to be attributed to that.
Firstly, this is thick, and sugary, but it also has lots of tasty carbs to give you an energy boost. If you have an eating disorder, like many tabloids have convinced us that Nicole Richie has, there is a "lite" version, which we will be reviewing soon. I think this tastes good, and makes me feel like I might acquire some superhero power, since I'm drinking radioactive materials.
Lots of energy, the sugar may be a big part of it, but who cares? I'm ready to go party the night away with Sly and, more notable brother, Frank Stallone.
This is where the bling comes into play. Sure, a 10.5oz. drink for $2.50 doesn't sound like a great deal, and normally, the value rating would be a 2 or a 3. But, a Bentley is still a good value at a couple hundred thousand. By the same token, you're fortunate to hold a can that makes you look so much better for only $2.50. Take it to parties, let the ladies come hit on you, "Why does your can glow?", they may coyly ask. And you can respond with "How does a rainbow work? How does Positraction on a '65 plymouth work? It just does". Hold on, I'm thinking about Joe Dirt again. Just tell her that her taste in men is even better than your taste in energy drinks, and that's why she's talking to you.

I love this stuff!!! They have a new formula as well but this original one is better and it is a GREAT mixer too! As for buying it, I'm sure you can find it on eBay because I too noticed this stuff is really hard to find!

I've tried tons of energy drinks, I love evaluating the differences in them. I have never tossed a drink until I tried Radioactive Energy. I couldn't even force myself to drink a few more mouthfuls it was like drinking a headache. Maybe I got a bad batch, I wouldn't try it again though.

I have been looking for these and i can't find them someone tell me where to get them. Edited by Jason: Buy them online. You probably won't find Radioactive at stores unless you're on the west coast.

Radioactive Energy Drink (regular) took a little time but it grew on me and I enjoy it ice cold on the rocks often. Very good taste and great mixer too.

Best Energy Drink I have ever tasted, and the "Glow" is pretty cool. You should see the drink under a black light. Insane!!!

Not worth the $2.50 for sure.

The taste is a bit strong. I am also thinking that other energy drinks may be a better value (e.g. Monster, Rockstar, or Max Velocity). It will certainly appeal to many but many will find it a little overwhelming also. Didn't get the boost I was really looking for.
