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)
  • “Assault” (monster/cola flavored)
  • “Khaos” (Tangerine Flavored)
  • “M-80” (Pineapple Passion fruit/original Monster flavor)
  • “Mixxd (Grape/Cola/Original Monster 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!

Marketing energy drinks by name:

here are some energy drink names that I found funny (feel free to add):

  • Bong Water Energy Drink- who would buy this?
  • Bawls- or this? ( I actually know a lot of people who really enjoy this one)
  • Kronik
  • Hair of the Dog

Viso Vigor

They have a few flavors but this is the one that really has that crystal meth spin to it. It’s like a juice drink so it’s not super carbonated and weird. I used to be a night auditor in a hotel so, I would put these back, but every time I purchased one I’d get a product warning from the cashier. Each one of these monsters is equivalent to 3 cups of coffee.

1 in 3 Trinity (religious energy drink)

Widget_afc3v0ngtat4kneiefw3tq

The slogan reads “fused with fruit of the spirit”. I haven’t tried these yet but I’m assuming that it’s made with carbonated holy water and blood. If that’s true, these would make great mixed drinks.

You people talkin bout energy drinks…so sad. Sounds like a lotta people that work for Monsta, Red Bull, Amp and RockSta trying to pimp some drinks. So anybody thats lookin for tha truth…listen up to tha Masta. I’ve tried all tha drinks and looked up the facts on tha net. Nobody can dispute that NOS is tha high performance energy drink…it’s got lots more caffeine than Rockstar, Amp, Monster or any of the others…and it actually tastes GREAT! So dont be played by these suckas…try for yourself!!
