Full Throttle: Blue Demon

Amber:
Okay, first off I'd just like to point out that even though this blog is called energy men, I'm reviewing, too. Yes, I am a girl, hence the previous sentence. I'm the only one here that drinks full throttle, so I'm the only one who could give it a fair review. This is my first review, so please, give me a break.


The first time I tried Full Throttle, I was at the skating rink hanging out with my friends. It was one of those 7pm-7am skates, so we needed to stay up all night. They sold this drink there, so my friend suggested we drink it to try and stay up. When I first drank it, I thought it tasted a lot like Smirnoff; a little fruity, yet still alcoholic. Now, of course this energy drink contains no liquor, but it tastes that way. It's not too much, but it's the perfect amount to give it that perfect flavor. Blue Demon comes in a 16oz. can and has about 110 calories.

I'd recommend this energy drink to any of my friends. The only bad thing about it, really, is once you drink a lot of it, it's 'energy' effect starts to wear off. So if you've been drinking it for a few months, you won't get the same energy rush you did the first time.

Cintron Liguid Energy: Tropical Azul

Will:
Today i was walking around town with my friend Dan, and we decided to stop by a neighborhood gas station. Inside was the general assembly of energy drinks, nothing really new. But we wanted something new and different. After scouring the shelves, we found a drink called "Cinrton". We had bypassed it at first, for one reason. It looked almost exactly like a Corona. But after closer inspection, we found that it was in fact an energy drink.

So i opened the can, and i got a big wiff of... blue. The flavor blue. I took my first sip, and immediately it reminded me of a melted blue Popsicle. One of those Popsicles that you buy in huge packs, unfrozen, then go home and freeze. Anyway, so i liked it. It seemed more like a juice drink than an energy drink, but in a good way. It was really easy to get down, unlike some other drinks. It was a decent flavor, but too smooth in my opinion.

The only really cool thing about the Cintron can is the exact resemblance to Corona. I mean, the can itself looks nice and all, but the real distinguishing factor is the lettering on the front. Running sideways up the can is the title of the product, in the exact same font as Corona. Yes, we compared the two. They're the exact same lettering. That made up for the otherwise pretty plain can.

The energy of this drink was not so great. I didn't feel too jittery, but it did put me in a good mood, so thats a plus. But theres not much to say about the energy levels. Its a decent drink with decent energy. Nothing spectacular or anything.

Blade

Joey:
OK I fond this weird one at a gestation conjoined with a McDonald's, well i first ate McDonald's then went over to the gas station and i saw them their, buy 1 get 1 free for 2 bucks i though that was a real grate price.

It comes in a bottle I'm not to fond of bottled energy drinks, but this one i actually liked because of the shape of the bottle.
The picture on the can isn't to grate. its just the word blade which the L is a sword.
I was on a trip to jekll island G.A. fpr the CTI conference, so when i got on the bus and back on are way i took my first sip, i amendmently loved it.
seance i still had another one i saved it for the next morning to wake me up

The taste of it is sweet, it has a very enjoyable flavor to it
this product was a very good buy and if you come across it then i recommended you get it

Hair of the Dog

Joey:
well I found this energy drink on my trip back from Jekyll island Georgia
in a gas station in the middle of no where, I saw it and I had never seen it before, I just had to get it to try it out it comes in a 8.4 oz. can and it was 2:50, a lot like red bull.

well I got back on the bus and look at the can real good before opening it the thing I notice at first is the dog, it is a really cool drawn cartoon picture of a dog. the red and black back ground was pretty doll.

well wen I opened it, it was pure green, so i thought that look pretty cool, so I expected it to be a really food drink, but i was wrong that first sip was horrifying,
I have never tasted any thing like it, I was disgusting and will never have another, every one around me said whats wrong with your face and I screamed out
"It's HORRIBLE", this drink would have to get my lowest taste taste rating

worst buy I ever made, but I did drink it all just to show that I could

Hooters Energy Drink

Will:
When i saw the Hooters energy drink for the first time, i knew i had to get it. What could be better than Hooters AND energy? It cost the same as most energy drinks around here, about $2.50. It was worth every penny.

I was sort of surprised by its neon orange color, but it proved to be a delightfully sweet orange flavor. When i took the first sip, i did not like it. At all. It was a disgusting waste of my money. But i forced myself to take another drink. Then i took another. And another. Suddenly, this disgusting drink was delicious. i have no idea why it went from being so, so bad to so delicious. But it was a good thing, so i went along with it. It has a very good flavor that reminds me of some kind of orange soda, but with an obvious energizing kick mixed in.

The Hooters Energy can gets an A+. It features a hot Hooters girl on a metallic background, with the hooters owl. What could be better? The color layout was even pleasing to me (though not as much as the Hooters girl). Its silver metal background with white words and orange outline looks pretty good to me.

The energy provided by Hooters Energy Drink isn't perfect, but its not horrible either. As with most funny or interesting drinks, it was pretty average. Not disappointing, but not exciting either. It was enough to get me through a 4 mile walk with my friends, but i wouldn't count on it to keep me up and on my feet for hours.

Overall the Hooters Energy Drink was a good buy. Its great can, cool flavor, and moderate energy made for a relaxing drink that will surely be the topic of a few stories with my friends.

Monster Energy: Assault

Will:
One of the first flavors of Monster Energy I tried was the red Assault flavor. I got it at a gas station, at the beginning of a 6 hour car ride. Bad idea. I definitely should not have drunk an energy drink before having to sit still for 6 hours. It was worth it though. I got to try a new flavor of my favorite energy drink.

The flavor of the Assault is somewhat cherry. of course, it has the traditional "taste of Monster" hint in the background, but its overwhelming flavor is cherry. To me, it tasted like someone took cherry cough syrup, mixed it with monster and soda, and made it taste GOOD. It had the taste of a cherry soda, with the aftertaste of cherry cough syrup. As unsavory this sounds, it was actually pretty good.

As always, the Assault can was a hit. It comes in two varieties. The first one was a cammo design, but in shades of black, white, and gray. The second and newer design is the same basis, but with digital cammo instead or regular. i'm not sure if they still sell the regular cammo ones, because all i've seen in the store recently was the digi-cammo.

The energy provided by Assault seemed tremendous the first time i drunk it. This might be because of the fact that it was one of my first energy drinks, and i wasn't used to such energy. Or maybe it was because i was stuck in a car for 6 hours. Whichever it was, it has a decent level of energy, as expected from Monster.

Monster Energy: Russian

Will:
I got this new flavor of Monster today, and was a little bit skeptical. I've never heard anything but good about it, but i had my doubts. The last Java Monster i tried, i didn't like as much as i could have. But this was was very different. It blew me out of the metaphorical water. I loved. It was a great flavor of coffee, with the "taste of Monster" mixed into the background.

The can on this Monster is a beast. Its one of my favorite Monster cans, if not my number one favorite. It has an old Soviet Union look about it. The lettering at the top looks like it was written in Russian, the background is some old looking red textured thing. I don't really know how to best explain it, you have to look at the picture. I do know that it looks awesome.

The energy from this drink is outstanding. I had it about 5 hours ago, and i'm still feeling good. When i first tore into this energy fiend, i immediately felt the effects. i guess its just something about combining COFFEE and ENERGY DRINK that makes it a kick you wont soon forget. Though it could be better described as a slow wave of energy. It wasn't so much an instant gratification thing, as a slowly building energy buzz. sure, i felt the buzz as soon as i took my first drink, but it casually, almost unnoticeably built up over time, till i was halfway through with the can, when i realized how hyped up i was.

Overall, this is my favorite flavor of Java Monster, and i definitely suggest it to anyone who hasn't tried it.
