Elements energy: Agave cactus (RAIN)

Today i decided to revisit an old brand that i had tasted before and had moderate to poor results...Elements energy drink...I picked a different flavor though which i know will be easy to rate, agave cactus...Why you ask? why would it be easy to rate; because agave cactus sounds like an odd thing to drink so it would be easy to find things to talk about with this drink. The first thing i noticed about the drink was its color, a blue to clear color that is hard to describe, but duly noted. THe flavor of the drink is hard to describe; since the flavor is actually agave cactus, yet many people dont know what this taste like, so ill compare it closely to more sour blueberries...It is a great refreshing taste nevertheless...The energy boost of this drink still fails to impress, it seems to have the energy equivilant to a cup of orange juice...(yes that can be energizing)

Enviga energy drink

Today i decided; when looking on the shelf for something with a buzz (like monster) and healthy (like arizona energy) so i decided on Envigara; or is it enviga? I dont know but i will tell ya one thing; it is very healthy. I read the ingredients on this bad boy and saw that it has calcium, 100mg caffiene, antioxidants, and green tea; all in one mix. I couldnt resist the tempation so i bought 1 berry flavored enviga... I immediatly opened the can and tasted it and boy was i shocked, it was sour and bitter; i couldnt stand the taste; the taste along gave me an energy boost!!! The berry taste was "tastable" and the green tea along with it; but i dont like how its bitter and carbonated; at least in them flavors! I almost threw up to be honest; but i could imagine some people liking this; i must not be a big fan of carbonated teas... The drink had a nice energy drink, and shooting longevity as it is now 1:00 a.m. and im wide awake typing this... A good drink for the wanabe healthy energy drinker! I will try the other ones at a later date to test the taste..

Airforce nutrisoda mandarin mint

Today i walked into the supermarket where i work; cruised to the energy drinks section of the market and looked closely for an energy drink i havent tried...I found one! It caught my eye and im surprised i didnt notice it before. There were multiple flavors of that energy drink which i will try at a later time; for now: mandarin-mint. I bought it for 2.49$ for a small can (expensive) but i thought it would be worth it...I did not drink it immediatly but left it in the produce freezer so it would get cold; as i walked grogingly back to get my drink i opened the can; sipped it and was immediatly boosted up; not just by the sheer energy power i felt from it; but the taste was horrible in my opinion. It does taste like mandarin (a type of orange) and mint; the problem is that mandarin and mint together tastes similar to piss (at least in my opinion)... The drink though was a very big energy drink; i drank it in very small gulps due to the taste though...As for anything big happening later in the day; i threw the trash out and actually threw the trash bag 20 feet to the can; a record for me!

Tab Energy

Today i had to pick a new store to get energy drinks from since i played the 7-11 out; i choose a supermarket: Acme Markets to get my energy drinks! I looked around and saw a drink that caught my eye: Tab Energy; tab the soda coke used to produce was right in front of my eyes: in energy drink form! Tab energy was decent to say the most; i tasted it; it had the same tab (dragonfruit-bitter) like taste but very bitter due to the energy drink contents most likely. I did not enjoy the taste; the tab though did give a moderate energy boost...Tab had a nice design which is what i give it a 10/10 for; its design is retro with dots seperated evenly; very cool design.

While drinking the energy drink; great things seemed to happen to me; a chick walked up to me and grabbed my butt while i was walking back from break in a crowd; and i finished my work stocking produce early! I give kudos to Tab for this!

Arizona Rx Energy

As i was at the 7-11 today i couldnt help but notice there were no more canned energy drinks to try; i would have to go to the supermarket to get more varieties of energy drinks; but that doesnt prevent me from trying some of the more underappreciated or weaker energy drinks; so today i tried Arizona Rx Energy. This energy drink looked promising and healthy; the glass container in which the energy drink is contained is a work of art in itself; it even has a grip! Anyways, i opened the energy drink shortly after check out and got a great aroma of orange! I quickly drank the energy drink down. The energy drink has an orange taste; as many energy drinks do... The drink did not provide a substantial energy drink at all; maybe a mild sugar spike but that would be it...

SoBe energy

Today had been a great day, i had asked my chick out to another date; i got a 50cent /hour raise... Ah, things were kicking, so i decided to relax with an energy drink...Or should i say Buzzlax...! (lame) anyway i tried SoBe energy, which was in a glass bottle that looks like a japanese design, anyways, i liked it...The drink was great! It had an orange-tangeriny taste which was great to say the least...The energy boost was minimal though...No real energy boost felt up front but it was hydrating and refreshing...The longevity was also poor as right now as i am writing this at (10:40 pm) i am feeling a bit drowsy...

Monster Khaos

Ah, as i was cruising to the store today i stopped @ a differnt place, a kwik e mart! No really it was a 7-11 but it was customized to look like a kwik-e-mart from the Simpsons. Anyways, i saw an energy drink i had never tried for fear of hating a drink from the monster brand...Monster Khaos, which is said to have juice in it...Alot! I tried it and it had such a nice flavor, almost tangeriny but with the same candy like taste of a regular monster added, very nice...The energy boost was not as substantial as regular monster though, but it seemed a healthier alternative, i could definitally see myself drinking this drink at a later time...

Vault Energy drink

I got inspired by a commercial today...You may recognize it; where the guy gives his girlfriend a pearl necklace than casanova comes over and gives her a bigger pearl necklace... The narrator exclaims "drop the hammer kevin" and kevin; whilst drinking a vault rushes out to the sea and drills into oysters and gets thousands of pearls; he gives them to his girl and casanova leaves with the famous; hair swipe.

Funny commercial; anyway i went out to try Vault; which supposedly kicks like an energy drink and drinks like a soda; i was at the store and i was thirsty so i opened it before i went to the checkout; once again security was on my ass...Good though i was checking out by the time they came...The Vault has a crisp taste not unlike Sprite; yet like mountain dew and 7up...It had a sweetened lemon-limey taste. The vault however was not great in giving an energy boost...Honestly i felt no kick right up front...but i did notice i couldnt sleep last night; so it mustve been effective in longevity...(loads of sugar)...

Coke:blak

As i looked accross the energy drinks at the supermarket aisle, a new drink caught my eye; Coke blak "a fusion". someone told me this was an energy drink that had a coffee taste; so i decided to try it being the lover of both energy and coffee!!!...I had to buy a whole 4 pack of them though but before i did that i went to the self checkout and took out one bottle and scanned one; it didnt work and security actually had the nerve to think i was shoplifting...I got out of it though because i obviously wasn't. I went home with a four pack 7.00$!!! It better be good...

When i first tried the drink a sense of bitterness hit me; i could taste coke and coffee. Its as if they were mixed together. They didnt seem to quite have enough sugar to offset that bitter taste so thats what i got...It did give a moderate energy boost; when i say that i mean the whole four pack! 1 of these bottles is equivilant to a little more than a soda.

Monster: Assault

Since monster is my favorite energy drink i decided to try another monster brand energy drink... Assault was the answer. this energy drink was kicking! I think i liked this drink better than regular monster, no i cant say that...but yeah its great..Like the other monster, it has a candy like taste that is very interesting; and not boring at all! I immediatly felt a boost from this drink as well as the other monster...it was great! The can is awesome looking too, it has a urban camo style which appeals to me.

Hydrive energy drink: pomegranate

AHHHH, i woke up with an extreme headache today...I thought, maybe i should not drink all these energy drinks anymore, as i reached for the tyenol...I cant though, i must do this for myself and readers of this blog! i decided though to reach for an energy drink that might be healthy. i picked up Hydrive energy drink, a drink that claims its just spring water and caffiene, in a good way...It has a sharp bitter taste and like it says on the bottle, it tastes like pomegranate. the bitterness im sure is from the caffiene which in its raw form has a bitter flavor. The drink had a substantial energy boost, but it didnt seem to be long lasting...

Rockstar JUICED!

I was sitting at home and i had a craving, a craving for some energy in a bottle. I randomly decided at that moment to just run straight to the 7-11, i walked out of the house half dressed and ran towards the store. I got some looks from these chicks and one from my neighbor which is weird to say the least since he is a married man. Anyhow, when i got to the store i did an enie menie miney moe to find out which
energy drink i would take. I decided on Rockstar Juiced, i bought it for 2.49$ drank it and at the same time started running back home. (only 5 minute run) ...The energy drink was great!!! The drink taste like a berry orange mix, which is great to say the least...

SoBe NO fear Gold

I just bought a gold necklace for my girl and i decided that i would have to get the ultimate energy drink for Tonite!!! I choose the gold energy drink that i found wit a weird name: SoBe No fear gold. This drink had some weird properties i tasted it and it has a Deep berry taste that is sketchy in my opinion, but the energy drink provided much to be offered, i immediatly felt an energetic sensation instantly; and the drink lasted throughout the entire workday like a dream, and hopefully may boost performance 2nite!

Vitamin Water: energy

I had no work today, a day off for me and i decided to pick up an energy drink of a different color from the 7-11. I decided to base the pick on whichever the coin landed (heads or tails) it landed heads and i was to try Vitamin water: energy. I had my doubts about the drink because i heard it was just sugar; not involving much of energy. It looked healthy though so i tried it.

The vitamin water had a great orange flavor that was hard to resist; the v.water was refreshing but i did not feel a radical energy change; and not much energy overall; just as i expected; i figured it would only give energy through the long run.

Red bull Energy

As i was thinking the other night, i thought a crazy though...No not that one with Pamela Anderson...About my blog! I thought, whats a blog without one of the most known energy drinks; red bull. (gives you wings)...I decided to test that theory. You may be wondering now; why havent i purchased Red Bull in the past; the honest answer to that is because it is made in Austria and i like to keep my money spent on "Made in USA" but sacrifices must be made to appease to my fellow readers. I walked into the 7-11, grabbed a red bull from its own personal cooler, and bought one for 1.99$, expensive for a 8.3 fl.ounce can.... I Drank the can as soon as i got outside, kudos to the way the can opens; it reminds me of beer. Anyways as soon as i took the first sip i felt a europhia of energy bursts; which actually was enough to distract me from the taste. Red bull had a very odd taste that is very tart; it actually tastes like a cherry fruit tart in my opinion, quite a hard flavor to describe by memory... Red bull gives you temporary wings!

Everlast energy

Ah, a new day, a new energy drink to try. Today i decided to ask the 7-11 guy what to buy and he suggested Evalas, at least thats how he pronounced it! It was really called Everlast. I looked at everlast and for some reason though of cargo pants. Nevertheless i decided to try it, its a small can only 8.3 ounces so i was skeptical of trying it in place of Monster for the day...I tried the energy drink and was Sharply shocked by its taste; so bold! It has an Orange flavor but is very acidic...
the taste wasnt good but i immediatly felt a kick in my stride, like scoring a goal for my team!...

Rockstar energy drink

On the way to work today i was listening to some rock music, after the song led zeppelins stairway to heaven...A masterful song...I decided to buy Rockstar drinks today and review them for my readers. I took rockstar energy off the shelf and bought it for 2.49$ at an ACME Markets; then i punched in at the same store i bought it...Go figure. I started drinking the energy drink but was stunned by its almost metallic strong taste... I was astonished by the strength of the taste. The aftertaste was good though...I imagine this energy drink would be better suited mixed with a beer but it was good nevertheless. Upon drinking the energy drink i felt a nice boost that had me singing songs endlessly in front of co-workers...Guess what the song was...Stairway to heaven...Many incidents happened with this drink though as my boss thought i was drinking alcohol due to the cans apperance...i guess it did look like an alcoholic beverage...i had to explain it was an energy drink and he made me do crappy work in regard to his own mistake...
Well the drink was worth it...

Elements Siberian cherry energy drink


Story: SO i was playing football with some friends today and we had our half time going, i was gonna fight one of these guys if he started crap again so i needed an energy drink. I chose Elements energy; why you ask? Because its hydrating and an energy drink at the same time. Needless to say it does work but it was quite a bit ineffective of providing long lasting energy easily felt...And also the cherry had a bitter taste...

Full throttle Blue demon energy drink

Ah, as i started the day i woke up with the worse caffiene hangover from the energy drinks last night, damn i started thinking, maybe i should quit this...I grogingly lifted from my bed in search of the tyenol i keep on top of the cheap deco clothes drawer. I felt a weird ache in my head as i reached for an empty cartridge of tyenol. I was furious that there was no tyenol so i zipped into the car and out to the rite aid. I couldnt focus on the road, even when a teenager on his bike flipped the finger, i didnt have the energy to respond...Talk about a dependency...I reached the rite aid, bought the fast working tyenol gel caps an ate them...LOL I ATE THEM, without water...Hey it still works, but has a horrible taste... i walked out of the store all giddy i lost the headache, and looked at an advertisement on the wall for a new energy drink. Full throttle Agave energy drink! I had to buy it!
Name: Full throttle blue demon energy
cost: 1.99$

taste: 9/10 A mediciny berry flavor
Energy boost: 7/10 A little hard to feel

PROMO: Jeff gordon 24 energy drink

Alright, i came back today, even though i said i would be back monday lol!...But i got some great information! I recently tried an energy drink that was actually pretty good, but too bad it was limited! I went to the wawa, saw this drink and immediatly thought of Nascar and 200 mph performance, (even though i dont watch nascar; i mean whats the point of watching cars go in a circle 200 times a race?)...
Name: Jeff gorden 24 energy
Price: 1.99$
IMage: i could not find an image on the web of this energy drink i tried but i will explain it to you...It is an overall blue can with fire on one part engulfing the text "jeff gorden 24 energy".
Size: big only
taste: 10/10
Energy boost: 7/10
Longevity: 7/10
When i drank this drink the greatest thing about it was its taste; an orange tangerine mix that people would kill for... It did not taste like an energy drink (medicinal etc.) it tasted like Kool-Aid orange but in a good way and carbonated...
The energy effects of this drink were felt and lasted decently, til 12:00 when i started doing bad on socom...

I am also starting to work on my website: Jakgaming.com , but its still very unproffessional looking; i hope it gets good in the future...

I will be back monday! Peace!

Energy drinks Can be expensive...

Hmm, we all know energy drinks can be expensive, but in the long run are worth it due to your increased potential!

There are many ways you can make money to pay off this! i am going to list some of them:
1) get a job (Obvious)
2) Cashcrate (under 18, good job)
3) Beg on the streets (A last resort)
4) sell your stuff on EbAy! (must be over 18)
5) learn a skill and profit off of it (Mining!)

Just some ways you can make money!

Amp energy drink

Ah, today i decided to go with the color green and choose an Amp energy drink...The Amp stood out through all this time but i never tried it because my favorite energy drink had always been monster, and my friend cody tried it before and threw up after...I thought, maybe he was just sick...I tried the energy drink and definitally enjoyed the taste...It was pretty good!
Name: Amp energy
Price: 1.99$
Size: Big and smallies


Taste: 9/10 great!
Energy boost: 5/10
Longevity (of energy boost): 8/10
Crash the next day: Small crash, probably due to the sugar content of it
I started the day with this energy drink before i went to work, it has a Mountain dewy taste but definitally more sour (in a good way)...Amp had a great taste! I felt almost no enery boost though until about 20 minutes into the day, it was minor but a good enough kick to make me one of the more efficient workers...I love energy drinks because they give you a small but deadly boost over the opposing workers...remember...Everybody is your competition...Never give up getting your promotion!

SoBe Adrenaline

On the way home from work today i stopped at the Wawa (convenience store) and decided to check the energy drink freezers for a new drink; i found SobE Adrenaline; and this drink is a decent drink...I drank this right before i played socom and dam is it good; still not as good as monster...(socom is a video game on the Ps2)
Cost: 2.49$

Size: Big and smallies
Taste: 8/10
Energy boost: 7/10
Longevity: 8/10
Crash the next day? Yes....small headache probably due to sugar and stuff

This energy drink i was pretty skeptical of; since it seems unproffessional and on the table of contents it lists a lot of crap like fructose corn syrup appearing at the top... I started drinking it slowly; of a fear of a sugary water taste; and to my surprise it had a bold citrus flavor that is undeniably good...A decent energy drink!

Monster Energy Lo-Carb

Today i decided to roll out and try a energy that is the same brand i trust, but a different amount of calories...Needless to say i enjoyed the monster lo-carb almost as much as the regular...
Name: monster lo-carb (blue)

Cost: 1.99$
Size: big Can
Taste: 9/10
energy boost: 7/10
longevity: 9/10
Crash the next day: No; not at all!

Monster lo-carb was a particularly scary energy drink to try...Lol i dont usually use diet anything for that matter; and to join the freaky anorexics (excuse spelling) and purgers in drinking something that was diet is almost a sin in one way...lol...Anyway, the diet monster was actually pretty dectent, providing almost the same taste as regular and an almost equivilant energy boost; was enough for me to feel potent whereas yelling at traffic on the way to work; where i actually was so alert that i spotted a girl getting dressed in the back of her car on the freeway opposing mine...Well maybe any guy couldve spotted this without the energy drink lol...
Monster energy lo-carb is a good buy for anorexics and fat people alike!!!
