Ups, Downs, Kicks, and Boosts! This is what's up with those energy drinks you're all so curious about. Why do we drink them? I'm living in a generation where the youth needs more and they need it now. The faster and stronger, the better. Here's your guide to a few different energy drinks. It's all about the the taste, punch, kick and powwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
ROCKSTAR. Bigger. Better. Stronger. Faster.
“The worlds most powerful energy drink.” Intended to provide an energy boost for those who live active and exhausting lives. Much like a rockstar. Products:
Original Rockstar
Sugar-Free Rockstar
Rockstar Zero Carb
Rockstar Juiced – (in juiced flavor, (mango, orange and passionfruit) pomegranate and guava)
Rockstar Punch (fruit punch)
Rockstar Burner
Rockstar Roasted (in coffee flavors like Mocha, Latte and Light Vanilla
The caffeine content is unbelieveable, and Rockstar is required to display a warning on the can.
: “THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS CAFFEINE. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN, PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING WOMEN OR INDIVIDUALS SENSITIVE TO CAFFEINE.”
If you think the amount of caffeine is bad for you, you better believe there is an ALCOHOLIC VERSION.
“Rockstar + Vodka”
“Rockstar + Vodka/Pomegranate”
“Rockstar + Vodka Light”
The American name for the alcoholic version of Rockstar is “Rockstar 21”. The name varies in different countries because of the drinking age.
CRUNK!!! Energy Drink is extreme, it's explosive, it's crowd roaring energy.
Lil’ Jons Crunk!!! Energy Drink! It comes with a lifestyle. The CRUNK!!! lifestyle.
This product is the only one with an authentic tie to music. CRUNK!!! embraces mixed genres of artists, bands and DJs across the nation. Even though CRUNK!!! Energy Drink mainly works with musicians, it also involves “CRUNK!! athletes” who also help support CRUNK!!! Because CRUNK!!! is for those who embody that “high energy, uninhibited lifestyle.”
FULL THROTTLE.
Produced by The Coca-Cola Company!
SPIKE.
300 milligrams of caffeine put into a little 8.4 ounce can. No wonder you have to be 18 years old to purchase this product. You actually have to pull out your ID for this one. I’m sure like everyone else, you’ve heard rumors of Spike Energy Drink killing kids. I’m pretty sure that’s just a rumor.
Surprisingly, the taste is great. With that large of an amount of caffeine, you’d initially think otherwise, no? And you better believe 300 mg of caffeine gives you a pretty big kick. I’m taking a huge energy boost that lasts several hours. Also, just as guaranteed there isn’t a post energy drink crash like you’d expect. Probably because of the amount of blended B-vitamins.
MONSTER. "Unleash the beast."
Personally, i’ve always been a Monster indulger. Hand me one of those Blue, Low-Carb Monsters in the morning and my day is set off just right. Choose your fave, because Monster has come out with 15 different flavors and even a slushee option.
Regular Flavors:
“Original” (citrus/berry taste)
“Lo-Carb” (the low carb version of the original flavor)
Java Flavors (yes, its true. coffee flavored energy drinks.) :
“Originale” formerly Big Black (coffee latte flavor)
“Loca Moca” (Mocha flavor)
“Mean Bean” (Vanilla coffee flavor)
“Russian” (White Russian flavor)
“Irish Blend”(Irish Cream flavor)
“Nut Up”(Hazelnut flavor)
“Lo-Ball”(low-carb version of the mean bean)
“Chai Hai” (chai tea flavor)
Also! Did you know that Monster gets it’s huge amount of recognition from sporting event sponsorships, rather than advertisement in the media.
RED BULL. "Gives you wings."
The most popular energy drink world wide. I read somewhere that over a billion cans were sold in 2006. Red bull is said to have a pretty aggressive, multi-angle, and international campaign. Which makes sense that the insane amount of advertising is what gave Red Bull such a big name. Not only with commercials, ads or the looks, but also sporting events like windsurfing, snowboarding, cliff-diving, surfing, formula 1 race cars, and break dancing to art shows, music, and video games.
Redbull comes in original and sugar free.
Also! Did you know Red Bull is supposed to taste like mixed berries. I don’t know about anyone else, but it definitely doesn’t taste like berries to me.
A piece of art with Red Bull cans. Sweet!
