5 Hour Energy Drink

[Fenway]

I'm skeptical. Your thoughts on this product INGO?

 

[Sylvain]

It's really nasty.It does work but it's not better than regular coffee IMO.
And it should probably be called "2 hours and a half energy".

 

[ditto]

I'm a fan of my heart not exploding. So, pass. I'll stick to 7-8 hrs sleep a night

Well, it keeps me awake for 5 hours. But that's because it takes about that long to get the taste out of my mouth.

Look at the label.It's usually not good when your daily value has 4 digits.

Good to keep in a bag for emergencies, if you need to stay up right when you were about to go to sleep.
Not good for everyday use.

I was gonna say read the label, it is just a caffeine shot, nothing more, but Frenchy beat me to it

Well it has more than caffeine in it, lots of vitamins and plenty of stuff I dont even know.

With coffee at least you know what you're taking and the effect is the same.Also the taste is way better.

does it's job with no let down after and doesn't give you the shakes.

I usually drink one on the way to a match or fishing/hunting.

They are the greatest thing since the interwebs was invented. They DO NOT give you the jitters. They DO NOT have a crash. They DO provide sustainable energy for 4-6 hours. They DO have one cup of coffee's worth of caffeine. They DO NOT have sugar.

You are essentially getting the caffeine from coffee and adding b12 (energy that you'd normally get from MEAT) and many other vitamins. If your body takes in too many vitamins, it simply flushes them. If your body is deficient in them, you get what you need.

What about the taste???

It's good if you try to I guess.
You probably have the same taste when you mix cold coffee with orange juice.Same effect too but for way cheaper.

You know what does Exactly the same thing for a fraction of the cost?

A cup of BLACK Coffee so there is no added fat and calories from cream and sugar, and a good Multi-vitamin with a bowl of Total rasin bran in the morning.

Works for me and it beats spending 5 bucks a day on a nasty little shot of whatever it is. Plus the added Fiber is key for absorption of the vitamins.

 

[Bunnykid68]

No-Doze and a B Complex vitamin is way cheaper.

Never heard of anyone having some kind of crash effect from drinking coffee either

I drink coffee daily, the 5 hours are just nice for when you are really tired and need a quick fix. Certainly not a daily thing. Also, when you're that tired, coffee has a lot of properties that can cause GI issues (can even when not tired) so the 5 hour is nice.

Agreed. This is usually in reference to the OTHER energy drinks.

Not to mention, some people just hate the taste of coffee.

Like me.That's why I add sugar and cream.

But I hate the taste of those energy drinks even more.

Big promises in small packages usually a big disappointment. No thanks I will pass.
