Uncertain;
probably 160-200 mg.
EASE
IN ACQUISITION—6
SK
energy shots are by and large pretty scattered, but if you keep your eyes open
and stop to look frequently you’re bound to come across it at some point. I found mine at Walgreens—which seems
to vary quite a bit in terms of its inventory from store to store, so I don’t
know if that helps or not. Look to
spend $3+ regardless….
APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—7
Street
King energy shots have undergone a bit of a de-evolution in terms of their
packaging. While I do love the
steel grey background and the stout 2.5 oz. bottle, I could do without 1) the
boisterous red “EXTRA STRENGTH” bands, 2) the casual font used for the word
“energy” and 3) the base yellow and blue color of the logo—the gold on the
older shots just looked all that more striking.
TASTE—5.5
You
50 Cent fans might be disappointed that at least in this respect, your favorite
rapper/marketing mastermind has sold out—this is a 5 Hour Energy clone. Now, I have to grant the company
this—this is the best of the lot that I’ve had, being more convincingly berry
and somewhat less bitter than most.
The company guarantees a refund if it is not the best energy shot you’ve
ever had (just have to send back the bottle, which I won’t do because I’d lose
the spot in my collection), so if you’re going by 5 Hour clone standards, that
shouldn’t be a problem.
KICK
(INTENSITY)—8
I
don’t know what it is about green tea caffeine that makes it work so well—but I
love it. This shot, which is
powered exclusively by the green tea stuff, does not deliver a jittery blast of
energy—it is actually quite muted until you get yourself moving around, at
which point something (don’t ask me for mechanisms; I have no idea) gets the
caffeine working and you find yourself doing everything that you otherwise do
(from going to the gym to cleaning up around the house) in an extremely
facilitated fashion.
KICK
(DURATION)—9
I
got a pretty solid four hours of energy out of this shot, after which I did not
crash at all—though I was quite ready for bed when the time came.
THE
SHOT OVERALL—7.5
If
you are 1) wealthy enough that you can buy these frequently without thinking
about it, and 2) a 5 Hour Energy clone fanatic, this will probably be the best
shot you will have ever had.
Otherwise…well, I have mixed feelings here. On one hand, I don’t like the taste, and the price frankly
blew. On the other, the energy
boost is nothing short of fantastic—I would seriously love to experience
something along these lines more often.
I’m going to leave my input at that and let the consumer decide if the
price and taste are worth the kick, as I myself am not certain that I would say
it is.
As
a final note, a portion of all profits from the sale of these shots goes to the
United Nations World Food Programme.

This was a solid review!
ReplyDeleteThis is not that bad, not good, but not bad. It did wake me up though.
