Hansen's Energy
Summary:
This is sort of the 'generic' energy drink. It has what I would call
the 'default' taste. Overall, fairly good.

Hansen's Energy Pro
Summary:
What makes this the 'Pro' version? I don't know. As far as I can
tell, the only difference is a picture on the side of the can where some
writing used to be on the original can. Tastes the same as the original.

Magic Energy Kick
Summary:
This stuff SUCKS! It tastes terrible! Honestly, I didn't expect
much, considering the color layer printing on the can doesn't even line up
correctly. The best thing about this one is it says "Please turn can before
opening" on the top edge. Do they mean open it upside-down? It's imported
from Sweden by the way.

SoBe Adrenaline Rush
Summary:
I'm a big fan of SoBe's products. Their Green Tea is amazing, and I
like their pop too, but hey don't sell it around here. Adrenaline Rush is
pretty good. Slightly better than Hansen's in my opinion.

Hansen's Diet Red
Summary:
I expected it to taste like the normal Hansen's, but no, its much
worse. Pretty nasty stuff, but not as bad as Magic! Interestingly, it has
almost the same ingredients as SoBe Adrenaline Rush, but one tastes good,
and this one sucks.

Whoop Ass
Summary:
The Whoop Ass definitely whoops ass! This stuff is really good. Plus
its a funny can. Double bonus! It reads "Revitalizes attitude & Restores
faith in mankind" on the front, and I agree! Brought to us by the folks at
Jones Cola. Strangely, one of the ingredients is "Royal Jelly"... hmmm...

Summary:
Some tasty orange flavored stuff. If you like orange soda, you
should enjoy 180. Surprisingly, the can lists only guarana as far as herbal
content goes.

Rockstar
Summary:
With Rockstar energy drink, you can "Party Like a Rockstar."
Because, you know, this is all the real stars drink... Except in my
opinion it isn't very tastey. According to the can, which I'm sure is
celebrity endorsed, Rockstar is the "largest, most powerful energy drink
available." It also contains the liver cleansing herb "Milk Thistle."

Extreme Energy Shot
Summary:
Extreme energy shot, a.k.a the "bottle rocket" is brought to us by
our friends at Arizona beverage co. I was excited to try this one, since the
can is very original, with its removable nose cone, and since I am a big fan
of the Arizona iced teas. The taste however, definitely leaves something to
be desired. Imagine diluting your average energy drink with Arizona tea,
then removing some of the sweetness, and you have the Energy Shot. It is,
however, a very smooth watery taste, not the harsh sugary or over carbonated
taste of some. We found silver and blue caps. Pretty much the best part of
this one is that on the bottom front of the can, it says "Not Genuine Unless
Signed" and has a signature... because you know people that forge energy
drinks can't copy signatures too...

Pimp Juice
Summary:
For the record, this is the only energy drink on this page that I
did not find in a store. Got a can of the semi-collectable Pimp Juice off
E-Bay. It was just too cool to pass up! Pimp Juice is brought to us by
hip-hop star Nelly (though he is not mentioned on the can itself).
Pimp Juice is not carbonated, so it goes down very smooth. It has a very
synthetic green color, more so than Mountain Dew... somewhat like
antifreeze. It smells and tastes like green Jello! At least, that's the best
was I can explain it... Like making green Jello then drinking the mixture,
instead of letting it gel. This is probably because it contains apple juice,
and you can definitely tell it contains apple if you think about it while
tasting. I definitely like it. If you can get a can, do it! "Let it Loose!"

MET-Rx Energy
Summary:
This seems to be one on those drinks more oriented towards the
fitness buff than the party kid. No silly slogans or saying here! The drink
itself is not fizzy in any way, and is very smooth, almost watery. Again,
probably because of its target audience.

Another drink geared toward the fitness oriented. The can boasts "0
calories, 0 fat, 0 carbs, 0 sugar, all energy." We didn't write up the
review after drinking it, and now we don't remember how it tasted, so it
must not have been too spectacular. Frankly, with no sugar, I doubt it was
that great.
