Apple Ginger Game Juice!

Okay, so I was skeptical when I first saw this. It appeared to be some sort of nuclear substance at some kind, due to its incredibly bright green hue and dangerous packaging. I approached with caution, and after confirming the bottle was indeed safe to touch with my bare hands, I proceeded to investigate.

The flavor piqued my curiosity, as I had never tried any sort of apple soda type drink, let alone one spiked with ginger. This bottle of self proclaimed gamer drink is also infused with caffeine and mind enhancing vitamins.

So, I prepared my palate, unscrewed the top, and took a nice big swig.  Now, I must pause to point out that I am not much of a fan of the typical energy drinks out there, I stay well away from them actually, and this looked like it was going to fall into that category. But, to my delight, it was quite pleasing. It is indeed an apple soda, but with a unique kick to it. Though it has quite a bit of sugar in it, I did not find it too sweet, but rather exhilarating. I would not reach for a drink like this if I were parched after a long crawl through the desert, but it is great to chug along with a snack.

At this point, I figured I should go ahead and apply the drink as it seems to be intended, so I fired up my Xbox 360 and played a bit of John Woo Presents: Stranglehold. Before I knew it, I was dodging bullets and dancing through the air in slow motion, a seemingly invincible harbinger of doom to my foes. I cannot say for certain how much of this could be directly contributed to the Game Juice I had just ingested, but I do believe it helped in some way…

All told, whether the intention is to boost your game skills or not, I would not hesitate to try this drink out!

News: Blood Energy Potion !


This new beverage by Harcos, based in Santa Monica California is intended to treat people with 'bloodlust' and probably will please plenty of Twilight and True Blood fans. :)

This beverage is from the same guys that brought you Mana Energy Potion and Health Energy (The videogame based beverages).  This shot of bloodlust quelling red fluid is fruit punch flavored and comes packaged in a really fun pouch that looks like a transfusion bag.  This beverage will be available soon from various retailers, including Hot Topic, Fry's, Think Geek and a few other websites.

I think the packaging is awesome and will definitely be an eye catcher on store shelves, we'll see about the flavor.  You can order them now from their tongue in cheek website to get your fix right before Halloween! :)  No prescription required.

Venom Energy Drink : Killer Taipan and Black Mamba Flavor!


We managed to get our hands on these energy drinks late night in Seattle while wandering around one evening, and ran into some Venom crew handing these out on the street.  This relaunched brand of energy drink decided to focus on a theme to distinguish itself and I think it works.  Venom energy is Dr. Pepper's attempt to elbow its way into the the energy drink market.  These snake themed energy drinks go off the whole idea of 'Choose your poison," which we found kind of clever.


 The two varieties we scored were the Killer Taipan, featuring a really refreshing infusion of mango flavor and the Black Mamba which had a very classic energy drink flavor, sort of like their flagship drink.  Packaging wise these drinks had eye catching colors and the snake eye motif, and were delivered in a really satisfying to hold sturdy aluminum bottle with a screw top.  I really loved the flavor and scent of the Killer Taipan, with its very distinguishable fruity mango flavor.  The Black Mamba was nothing remarkable, tasting similar to the standard Monster Energy beverage.  They delivered a good buzz courtesy of the Taurine, Guarana, vitamins and other ingredients.


I didn't experience any crash later which really surprised me, but heck..props to Venom for creating this line.  I'll be sure to pick one up next time we're up late working.  Recommended for any energy head, the Killer Taipan especially is a must try!

These are really hard to find online, but can be found at most grocery stores and some gas stations.  We'll let you know when these drinks are more widely distributed.
