another one of archer farms drinks, this one is the same as the last with a slightly different taste. it has a cherry flavor, and also like the last it tastes healthy. not much else to say, other than i can't say i would recommend it.

Archer Farms Energy Drink (tropical fruit)
no website (as far as i can tell)
this is one of those energy drinks produced by a company trying to stay popular by throwing some Caffeine and Taurine in one of their drinks and calling it an "energy drink". i don't really take these seriously but i might as well review it. it is fruity and has a more healthy taste to it than most energy drinks. not much buzz, but i wasn't too surprised.

Rip It (Sugar Free)
ripitenergy.com
i most say this ones rather boring. it tastes almost exactly like Full Throttle. unlike Full Throttle, though, this one is actually not that bad for you. but it is the sugar free version, so it isn't supposed to be.not much to say this one, but if you like Full Thottle you might like this one.

Full Throttle

one of the more standard energy drinks, i can't say i like this one a ton. it has a chemically lime flavor and light carbonation that is common in most energy drinks, so its basically like all the rest. i most say though, if you like stereotypical drinks, this ones for you.

a pretty standard energy drink. tastes a bit like mountain dew on steroids, but with a little more lime. its got 1000mgs of Taurine and 320mgs of Caffeine, so it has some kick to it. like most energy drinks, it has a chemically taste to it, but despite all this i still like it a bunch.

Crunk!!!
crunkenergydrink.com
Ok, this drink scares me. it says on the can that it has Skull Cap in it, which is either a very poisonous mushroom or a type of wild flower. i hope its the latter, but all it tells you is that they stuck the entire plant in it. while it has 100mgs of caffeine, it also has green tea leafs, Damiana (a plant used in some teas and reported to have aphrodisiac effects), licorice root, White Willow bark, Milk Thistle, Ashwaganda (an herb) and Horny Goat Weed. this last one is apparently another aphrodisiac. but other than the chemicals, its actually not that bad. it has a grape-pomegranate flavor and is lightly carbonated.

180 Red
180.com
Another drink in the 180 line, this one has a pinkish red color from Goji berry extract. As far as i can tell, Goji is a type of berry that grows in Tibet and is supposed to be very good for you. I'm not sure how much of this is correct, but it certainly is impressive. anyway, it has a nice cranberry-cherry flavor in it, and light carbonation that gives it a little bite. not much of a buzz, but if you like the other 180 products i would recommend this one.

My first thought when I opened this drink was 'my god, its purple!'. But despite it having the appearance of carbonated grape juice, it actually doesn't taste that bad. Its big thing is having Acai, a fruit that grows on a certain type of palm tree. It look slightly like a grape, and the juice is purple, which gives the drink its rather disturbing color. All in all, it tastes like a slightly fruitier version of the original 180 drink. If you liked the first you should definitely try this one.

BooKoo (Wild berry)
BooKooenergy.com
Ah BooKoo, how I love it. Almost my favorite. Tastes nicely fruity, but then, this is the wild berry kind. the Bite flavor is more bitter, and the Citrus tastes terrible. I have found that one of the triple cans of BooKoo is enough to give me a pleasant buzz. One of the few drinks that can. Bit too sweet for me to drink it all the time though. and no carbonation, that kinda bugs me. i highly recommend it.

Liquid Ice
www.liquidiceenergydrink.com/
Holy mother of a pogo stick this stuff tastes like the bastard child of a papaya and a roll of sweettarts. I was planning to write it off as another redbull knock off but it doesn't even taste close. Bit too sweet and fruity for my tastes, but others may like it. It does have the chemical taste along with a slightly odd aftertaste. As usual, not much in the way of a buzz, only 80mg of caffeine. The Taurine is there though (1000mg), so combined this with coffee or something with a shit ton of caffeine and you may get better results.

Max Velocity
This one reminds me a lot of redbull. Similar taste, though a bit sweeter and fruitier. Comes in a cool looking can. Not much in the way of a buzz, about the same as redbull. Not what I would go too if I needed to stay awake, though it does run cheaper then some of the other. Taste is also similar to BooKoo (review up soon). Not great, not too bad either. Pretty basic knock off, nothing new here.

A lightly carbonated orange-citrus flavored energy drink with a cool label. It has a unique flavor, kind of a carbonated range juice, which is always nice in an energy drink. their is no Caffeine in it, other than the stuff in Guarana (which it does have), so it is more of a low-impact drink.

Full Charge Supercharged Sunflower seeds.
Sumseeds.com
yeah, this probably shouldn't exist. but it does, and in my constant curiosity I had to try them. They actually taste pretty good, almost like beef jerky. not much in the way of a buzz though. only 80mg of caffeine and 500mg of taurine in each bag. salty as all hell, but that is pretty standard for sunflower seeds.

"Banned 'Cocaine' energy drink re-emerges as 'Censored'"
"An energy drink that was barred by the US government from going on the market with the name "Cocaine" will re-emerge under the tongue-in-cheek moniker "Censored," its maker said Friday."
Read the full story here.
I like the way Redux Beverages has handled this. However, I liked the name Cocaine and disagree with the FDA about banning it because of the allegations that it promoted drug use. Whats next? Ban the best coffee ever, Meth Coffee? And, yes, I will get a review of Meth Coffee up as soon as i can.

NoDoz caffeine pills.
NoDoz
While not technically an energy drink, I figured that caffeine pills should be included in our reviews. NoDoze taste terrible, are hard to swallow, and don't seem to have much effect on me. it takes more then three (600mg of caffeine) for me to start feeling it and then all I get is a bit twitchy. But then, I have a high caffeine tolerance. Snorting them doesn't help them hit you any faster and makes your nose hurt. Not that I have tried this *cough*.

Red Bull
redbull.com
So I thought I'd start us off with the drink that got the whole energy drink craze going. Red Bull also happens to be the first energy drink I tried and remains today as my favorite. It is what I compare all the others too. Red Bull's taste is very light without too much sweetness. It does have a bit of the chemically taste you get in these drinks, but not nearly as much as some. Personally, I don't feel any effect from this drink, although that may just be the fact that it doesn't come in a huge can. Course, I would also drink this stuff by the 55 gallon drum if I could get it. So in short, tastes great, a constant stream will keep you up for a late night study session without too much jitters. My favorite.
