Spower

Down at my moms grocery store trying to swift her bank card because my dad kicked me out of my house just because I was with my girlfriend. Okay gunna stop there, but yeah I found this.

Taste- Exactly what I expected. A RB clone. Its not that good but it is. Like I really enjoy drinking it but its nothing special. Maybe I'm just in the red bull mood.

RATING-6.5/10

Buzz- Not bad. More caffeine than most clones, and definatily nice for 80 cents. 250 mgs of caffeine in the whole can. 20 mgs niacin. 5 mgs pantothenic acid and vitamin B6 and B12.

RATING-5/10

Total amount of mgs-285

Killer Buzz: Dragon Spit

I really enjoy these drinks. A great company right here.

Taste- If I could taste dragon spit I know for a fact it would taste like this! It does taste exotic too. Its my favorite flavor from killer buzz with the red one in second. It has some mango taste but with a nice unique soda flavor. If I had the choice I would buy it often. Its nothing out of this world that I havnt tasted at least once before but its very well made.

RATING-9/10

Buzz- Caffeine, taurine and a blend of 17 amino acids that they call the giant hornet amino acid. Used in ancient china it is said to give you the energy of a ragging hornet. Too bad there is no information on what those 17 but we know it comes from the larva secretion from the Asian giant hornet and its also what they live off of by regurgitating it and eating it. If you didn't know, that's what honey is; pollen that bees puke up. If you want to talk about a unique energy drink. You have it here

Victory

Dollar energy drinks. I don't know how I feel about them. I feel there should be more of them but unless I only had a dollar I would rather buy any of the bigger brand drinks. Although there are a lot of drinks that are two or more dollars that are only worth a dollar, and this site can help you distinguish what ones like that to avoid.

Taste- I don't usually smell the drink before I taste it but I did on accident and it smelled like straight body odor. It made me not want to drink it at all. But I quit being a little bitch and drank it. Its another wanna be monster clone that ends up tasting more like redbull. When this happens that drink is just ruined. Combining drinks is good sometimes, but not redbull and monster. It tastes like a dollar.

RATING-5/10

Buzz- 200% rda niacin, riboflavin, vitamin B6 and B12. Not bad, that's 400% each in the whole can. Makes me wonder if there is a nice amount of anything unlisted, but they didn't list it so its their bad.

Ex: Chill Out

Our very last drink from California. It took me basically the whole summer to review them. But its crazy how I haven't not had one now drink to review this summer and probably for awhile to continue. It almost feels like a blessing as a reviewer haha, because I'm usually always on a dry spell.

Taste- Its very apparent that this drink isn't flavored with anything and its basically just fructose (a natural sweetener from fruit sugars) and carbonated water. If you didn't know that it would be okay. Its like if they took sprite and removed the lemon lime flavor. You know exactly how it tastes now.

RATING-6/10

Buzz- If you have kept up on my blog by now (which you all should) :) you know how each of these ingredients work. But I found out that most of them come from the very old ages. Valerian from Italy and lemon balm from Greece. I needed to go to bed early but right when I was about to drink it I got pretty tired anyway for some reason. And afterwords I was just as tired. Maybe my body knew what was coming. Oh I forgot to mention the vitamin amounts, oh well I'm too tired now :)

Victory: Fruit Punch

Please guys can we be more unique with our food products? If you want your drink to sell, even if its a dollar  you have to look more professional with a better name.

Taste- Some carbonated fruit punch. But it tastes great, with no vitamin taste commonly found in cheap smoke shop drinks. Its no Rockstar punched but it aint bad.

RATING- 8/10

Buzz- 200% rda niacin, riboflavin, vitamin B6 and B12. Not bad, that's 400% each in the whole can. Makes me wonder if there is a nice amount of anything unlisted, but they didn't list it so its their bad.

Xenergy: Twisted Tangerine

I know Ive told you folks this before you cant eat pizza without a tasty beverage that just burns your throat. So I knew I needed to grab my last xenergy out of the fridge!

Taste- This drink is fucking great! It took me awhile to decide if I want to give it a ten or a 9 or 9.5. Now I cant just be throing tens out there and Im sure Ive only rated a handful of drinks with a ten on either buzz or taste and this is awesome but it didnt exactly blow my mind (but it was close). It tastes just like a dreamsicle but its sugar free and has a tangerine cream taste instead of just orange. It doesnt daul down nor can you taste the sugar free'ness. There is no bad after taste. The only small reason Im not giving it a ten or 9.5 is because its true it doesnt taste sugar free but its still strong and heavily carbinated where as more sugary drinks like an original monster are more smooth. But still if you see this drink buy it! The best xenergy for sure!

RATING-9/10

Buzz- 11.5 mgs of caffeine per ounce so that's about 170 per can. That's okay, and then 100% rda niacin. 80% B12. 260% B6 and 500% pantothenic acid which you never see. Its usually the least amount of the vitamins (around 50%)

Ex: Slim

Now I'm not one to usually procrastinate but this can and another ex have been in my trunk almost 3 months. Its pretty beat up for a full can. They just weren't appealing to me so I never wanted to review them. These were actually from the Cali reviews.

Taste- It tastes like the can. Slim and scraped up with a little bit of colorful flavor that looks or tastes bad. It actually feels like its burning your throat from the slimming igridients. I cant put my toung on the exact taste but its pretty gross. They do a bad job with hiding the artificial sweetener.

Taste-3/10

Buzz- I was mistaken, its not a slimming drink but just the sugar free version of the original. I wish we had healthy decent priced drinks like these for sale around here. I would slam one before working out. This is the first drink with kombucha (an ancient healthy food culture that contains organic acids and enzymes that may help your body find its natural balance, which promotes over all well being). Now that's an ingredient I want in my body. This drink contains 430 mgs kombucha, caffeine from gaurana and ginseng. Also a little less than average amount of all your B vitamins and vitamin C. Big up on this new ingredient to me and for keeping it pure!

Killer Buzz: Hybrid

Esteemed colleagues, it is with great pride that I present to you today a miracle of cross-species pollination, an invention of man, the scientist, and not of nature, a creature of unrivaled hybrid vigor. No, please! Remain seated! Its quite harmless, theres no need to...AAAAHH!!! Back, back I say, you hideous DEMON SPAWN!! AARRGGH!! Sweet mother of mercy, help me!! Its devouro\ing my liver!!!

Taste- A sweet half natural half artificial tasting drink, which is a good hybrid if you ask me. Its not strawberry, its not cherry, its not raspberry. But what it is, is delicious. Its hard to put into words how something tastes, especially drinks. There is only so many words I can use to put the idea in your head how it tastes.

RATING-8.5/10

Radioactive

This drink has been on my wishlist for quite sometime. Energy drinks like this is what makes me keep collecting.

Taste- When the drink is called radioactive, you know you got a winner! It says it glows in the dark so I took the drink poured it in a glass, let it sit in the light and took it to the basement. But nope neither the can or the drink started glowing. I want to say red bull clone but I cant at all, actually its more of a rockstar flavor but not as good. (I love original rockstar) and it doesn't look as radioactive as I thought it would. Some drinks out there look like ghostbuster slime.

RATING-6.5/10

Buzz- This is a real energy drink with a real buzz. You don't see them being made much anymore. 200 mgs gaurana. 25 mgs inositol, l-carnitine and ginseng. 20 mgs ginko. 125% riboflavin. 50% B3,B5 and B6. 2,600% B12 (the RIGHT amount) and 60% vitamin C.

Xenergy: Melon Mayhem

Didn't think they still used this clashy old can design. But this is one of the two new xenergy flavors. These drinks have always been mediocre to me, lets see how these new ones stack up.

Taste- It hits you hard! Its mayhem for sure! An intense melon flavor that tastes good but only for a split second then fades into a bunch of different sugar free harsh artificial tasting flavors. I'm known for having a weird palate for energy drinks but its good in a bad way. Some with think this is disgusting and wont want to drink it but its unique to me and it has that strong flavor that tells you its working.

RATING-6/10

Buzz- 11.5 mgs of caffeine per ounce so that's about 170 per can. That's okay, and then 100% rda niacin. 80% B12. 260% B6 and 500% pantothenic acid which you never see. Its usually the least amount of the vitamins (around 50%)

Killer Buzz: Sugar Free

Taste- A hard hit drink, but not too much to handle. Its got a little of the apple taste which is what makes the perfect energy drink according to me. (that's how I should judge these red bull and monster clones from now on). The original I could swear was just like monster but this tastes nothing like sugar free monster, but more like SF red bull. And Ive had that with so many drinks. You just cant recreate sugar free monster.

RATING-6/10

Buzz- Caffeine, taurine and a blend of 17 amino acids that they call the giant hornet amino acid. Used in ancient china it is said to give you the energy of a ragging hornet.

Marley's Mellow Mood: Citrus

Now if you guys didn't know. Marley's mellow mood is my most popular review with almost 22,000 views, mainly because its the easiest energy heaven link to find on google (I think). So lets see if this flavor can get more views and comments.

Taste- I know the distinct flavor difference between sierra mist, sprite and 7up and this drink is identical to sprite. Most peoples first words after trying this will be.. Hmm tastes just like sprite. I'm not a big lemon lime citrus fan, its actually my least favorite pop flavor because its just too boring. And I feel the same about this although there is nothing wrong with it at all.

RATING- 6.5/10

Sluzz- Perfect time to use a relaxation drink! Its 4:24 pm Saturday and Ive been partying (sober of course) since 9 o clock last night with 3 BFC's in my system. That's the MOST energy drink Ive ever had at once. Since the BFC cans are 1.50 at big lots we got like 10 of them. But anyway I got 2 hours of sleep but I'm using this to sleep until about 11 because its hard to fall asleep in the middle of the day regardless. But these always work, according to every other reader also. Not sure if this is the new blend or just for this drink but they reduced the blend dramatically. Before we had 211 mgs now we only have 41 and they cut out kava kava and added melatonin. Also with Valerian, lemon balm, chamomile, hops and passion flower. This will not do anything and it isn't. Its not even enough for one 41mgs ingredient each to have an effect. This drink is now just a marketing gimmick.

Ex

My poor cans. I need to start taking better care of them. So my friend Avery Hage over at addictedtocaffeine.com notified me I'm just one rating above him on the blog top sites and I'm over 75 spots down from caffeineaholic (some blog Ive never even heard of) and my old time pal possessedbycaffeine.com has 5 more reviews than me. Ive kept my head out of the game too long. Its time to get those ratings up! Will you guys help me?!

Taste- First of all this drink is the shit because it says stay pure on the back! This is very natural tasting which I have no problem with. It wasn't made to taste like a sugary pop so if your buying it you really shouldn't care either. I would compare it to the V8 drink that has half veggies and half fruit but if you but more veggies. There isn't any in here but its orangeish and just reminds me of it with some carbonation.

RATING-4/10

Buzz- I wish we had healthy decent priced drinks like these for sale around here. I would slam one before working out. This is the first drink with kombucha (an ancient healthy food culture that contains organic acids and enzymes that may help your body find its natural balance, which promotes over all well being).

Wired: Strawberry Lemonade

All these reviews are keeping my reader levels up. Well at least they were until they stopped being interesting.

Taste- This ones actually carbonated and tastes pretty damn snashzy. But there is always something keeping it from being perfect and here its that darn vitamin powder taste which is particularly not good in a lemonade drink. But I would say this drink is still refreshing and has a nice mix of the two flavors without being overly sweet.

RATING-7.5/10

Buzz- Was not expecting this from wired. I assumed it would be some crazy bad ass blend like all the other wired drinks Ive had. This is just insulting to the company. 50 mgs inositol. 47 mgs caffeine. 27 mgs taurine. 20 mgs niacin. 5 mgs vitamin B6. 90 mgs vitamin B12 and 5 mgs pantothenic acid. What is this a vitamin water with a ton of vitamin B12?

Nuclear: Mango Guava

I apologize guys. I thought I reviewed all the nuclear drinks but I missed this one and I actually drank it awhile ago. Thats a big no no but its the first time Ive done that. I just have so many drinks to review this summer its crazy.

Taste- Im going to try my best to remember. Its was very juicy like it had actual mango guava juice in it and wasnt too bad with the sugar free taste. But I seriously drank this like a month ago so Im not even certain.

RATING-6.5/10

Buzz- I see it has taurine first, caffeine then glucuronolactone in the ingredients but it only mentions 90% rda vitamin B3. 240% B6 80% B12 and 45% pantothenic acid.
