Newest on the scene ... Energy Shots.
What are they and what do people say about them.
Rocket Shot. The Rocket Shot is engineered to provide instant energy by delivering a special blend of B vitamins, L-taurine, caffeine and inositol directly into your system. This unique, cutting-edge formula provides all the stimulants of the popular energy drinks, with only 30 calories and 7 grams of sugar. One convenient Rocket Shot provides explosive energy within minutes and keeps you going high speed for hours. Great for use before workouts, endurance sports or whenever you need an energy boost. "What sort of new aged, tree-hugging energy drink is this?", I thought as I grasped the tiny 1.8oz. bottle of the distastefully named "Rocket Shot". After some doing to get the protective plastic wrapper off, removing the cap, to find another protective pull top, I wondered how much security we needed on a 1.8oz. bottle of Berry Blast Rocket Shot. I also hoped it contained a lot of energy, since I'd exhausted so much just getting through the packaging. Finally, I was ready to "Take one Rocket Shot for an accelerated burst of energy. Mmmmm, taste isn't too bad, I taste some berry in there, not nearly as bad as I thought. Word of warning, it does go down like poorly blended, under-hydrated Metamucil. Be sure to shake it thoroughly as well. After a short period of time, I did experience an increase in energy, and it did last for a while. I certainly wasn't sleepy, and was able to clean my office without feeling fatigued for several hours."
Extreme Energy Shot. Consists of Taurine, Ginseng, Caffeine, Guarana, Milk Thistle.
Kore Energy Shot A 1.8 ounce bottle of Kore contains 100 milligrams of caffeine. Kore is a brand of energy drink from GNC. Each packet comes with 3 small bottles. The cans contain a blend of 100mg of caffeine with 30mg Green Tea extract - as well as B and C vitamins.
The drink is sugar-free and sweetened with sucralose (Splenda).
Upshot Energy Shot Active ingredients: Caffeine, Guarana, Kola nut, Green Tea. "This drink tastes like the most bitter part of any energy drink, if you took only the most bitter parts and combined them, this is what you would get. Admittedly the drink recommends mixing with fruit juice, but man this stuff taste horrible. I do like that they are honest about how much caffeine is in this tiny power packed drink, 200 mg. So yeah this drink does pack a punch in a tiny package, but I don't think it is quite worth the price you pay by tasting the bitter putrid liquid. If you do need a tiny package to carry around that can instantly add 200mg of caffeine to any drink of your choice this drink will do that job, and it will do it well. I think them labeling this fruit flavored must be some sort of joke as I don't think they made any attempt to hide the horrible taste. Straight oz for energy, this drink is a powerful force, but I do enjoy my drinks so I will stick with something I can enjoy. Some hate all energy drinks, but think they work well, if this is you, then you can shoot this down even faster for a horribly tasting kick of energy."
