Black Tea Energy Drink.

Possibly my new favorite!
Amp Energy with Black Tea is not too sweet, with a hint of lemon in the black tea. And who doesn't like a nice glass of iced tea?
The lose points, though, for having a flash based web site that is thoroughly inaccessible to any non-mouse user.
Like all of the amp drinks, though, & most brands for that matter, the can is more than anybody really needs at one time.
Red Bull, Guru, & Blue Sky are still readily available in the 8 ounce size, which makes them perennial winners.

Stupefaction Guaranteed!

The latest entry into my energy drink tryouts:
Stewie's Mind Erase Elixir, from Boston America.
While not amazingly great, it does pack a nice caffeine buzz with 120mg in 8.4 ounces! Along with 1000mg of Taurine, 50 mg of Inositol, 25 mg of Guarana, & 25mg of Ginseng.

Tastes just a little too much like Hawaiian Punch, though.

With a can like that, though, who can resist?

Blue Sky's

I remember trying one of these a while back & liking it, so when I saw the 8 oz. can for under $2.00, I grabbed one.

And it holds up pretty well.
The flavor is a generic berry taste, with just a little zing to it.
Ingredients:

• FILTERED CARBONATED WATER
• SUCROSE
• GLUCOSE
• CITRIC ACID
• NATURAL FLAVORS
• TAURINE
• SODIUM CITRATE
• GRAPE SKIN EXTRACT (COLOR)
• GINSENG EXTRACT
• L-CARNITINE
• NATURAL CAFFEINE
• ASCORBIC ACID
• NIACINAMIDE [B3]
• SODIUM CHLORIDE
• INOSITOL
• GLUCURONOLACTONE
• PYRIDOXINE HCI [B6]
• RIBOFLAVIN [B2]
• MALTODEXTRIN
• CYANOCOBALAMIN [B12].

They score extra points for using sucrose & glucose (instead of corn syrup), & for using a natural source of caffeine (probably the kola nut).
At 90mgs, the caffeine level is a little low compared to most energy drinks, which come in around 135 to 200mgs.
In that regard, it's more like a good strong cup of coffee, but with the added B vitamins to get the brain going.

I'd have to say it's a close second to the Sobe Adrenalin Rush for me.

Something new...

This has been taunting me at the local Gas Station for a while now, so I thought I'd give it a try, instead of my usual Sobe Adrenaline Rush.
Upshot is a 2.5 ounce energy drink with 200mg caffeine — sounds good... .
Okay.. took me more thatn five minutes just to get the bottle open — that's not a good sign.

Flavor: Mocha
Ingredients: Proprietary Methylxanthine Blend - PytoXan (Proprietary blend of plant-based methylxanthines-Caffiene, Theobromine, Theophyline, from Guarana Seed extract, Green Tea extract, Kola Nut extract and USP caffeine anahydrous)
Other Ingredients: Water, Liquid Sucrose, El Salvadorian Coffee Extract, Chocolate Extract, Vanilla, Natural Flavors, Natural Gums, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate (to preserve flavor).

Smell:
Like a chocolaty NyQuil (hmmm....)

Since it's only 2.5 ounces, it's gonna go down quickly (also because of the NyQuil thing...

Note to self, "Don't buy this again!"

I can't quite describe the taste.. maybe like the cheapest chocolate liqueur available in the third world, & the conveyor belt at the factory must go past bags of coffee beans, so it that gets an idea of what it's supposed to taste of.

Live and Learn!

Update: It may taste pretty bad, but it definitely got the job done, & I am just bouncing off the walls!
But I stil won't buy it again. Maybe it should be labeled, "For emergency use only."
