Recently,
I did something that for me was wholly unprecedented. It was something that I never thought in a million years
that I would see myself do, something so out of character that I still question
as to whether I actually did it.
I
bought and tried out this energy shot.
Now,
for most people, picking up an energy shot are nothing out of the
ordinary. But for the longest time
I was vehemently opposed to drinking/reviewing energy shots in any form, just
because I found the very idea of them to be so terminally boring. That all came to an end after my recent
Big Lots excursion, in which the look of Monster Hitman so intrigued me that I
caved. As a result, from this time
henceforth I am expanding my reviews to include energy shots, as well as other
nifty energy products (you can thank Perky Jerky for that). For the sake of those looking for one
thing or the other, I’m keeping the lists of shots, drinks, etc. separate.
Anyway,
enough fluff. Let’s see if Monster
Hitman lives up to its appearance….
CAFFEINE
CONTENT
160
mg?
EASE
IN ACQUISITION—1
Easy
if you live near Big Lots, at least for the time being. Plan on never seeing them again once
they’re out.
APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—8
Nifty
enough that it broke down my resistance and got me to buy it. The bottle itself is black, three
ounces (vs. the usual two), and has a label that is actually covalently adhered
to the bottle itself—vs. shrink-wrapped around.
TASTE—7
The
taste is about what you would expect if you were to drink three ounces of blue
raspberry Otter Pop juice at room temperature—whether or not that appeals to
you is strictly subjective. Even
if I found it to be palpable, it still was rather anticlimactic after getting
all psyched up over the packaging.
KICK
(INTENSITY)—7
Very,
very, very average—kind of like what
you would get if you drank a normal 16 oz. Monster. Woke me up alright, but I wasn’t by any means jittery or
even especially productive.
KICK
(DURATION)—7
I
got about three hours without a crash.
THE
SHOT OVERALL—7
At
the end of my first energy shot experience, I feel singularly
underwhelmed. Everything about the
experience is so ordinary—nothing worthy of note at all. But if what I described appeals to you,
now’s the time to buy these up—afterwards, they’ll be gone for good.
Under
normal circumstances, I would just dismiss energy shots as a waste of time and
move on. But, strangely enough, I
only feel more resolute in my decision to review them—I will find a great shot
if it takes years!
