Great review as always! It's wonderful to have an excellent in-depth resource for caffeine related products. Though you've grown so much as a content creator since the beginning, you still have everything that makes your channel great and continue to do great reviews week after week! I just discovered this line today and will be trying the frozen ice and black original tomorrow. Looking forward to try them all! And yes, everyone drinks the whole thing, never half. I'm looking at you Lance😉
Thanks so much! Glad you are still enjoying the content after all this time! Yeah, these have really bren making their way throughout the country throughout 2020, so a good job with distribution . Im pretty sure a lot of companies are making the change over to one can. Ive been noticing it heavily in a lot of preworkouts.
We can't be a prisoner to ourselves. If we want something, sometimes, we need to take it. I needed to know if that Watermelon was good or not! I mean, summer is pretty much over so no sense in wasting time!
And on the 8th day, I said, "Let there be energy drinks!" And there they were. At first there were just three. But as time went on, they continued to grow. Many came to the market, but not many survived. Those that did survive continued to move forward. Through the years of controversy, abuse of drinks, overdoses of caffeine, lawsuits and rivals, the energy drinks slowly crawled around, but eventually grew. As sugar was withdrawn from the drinks, popularity began to rise. Energy drinks became healthy. People would use them to workout....and then PRE workout. Preworkout rose!!! BANG!!! An explosion!!! BANG! A new subcategory of energy drinks! The Preworkout energy drink was born from the big Bang. Now, many new preworkout companies are on the rise, for the dawning of the new energy drink day.
Thanks!!! And if you liked this one for being super informative, you're going to like a lot more!!! 😂 I kinda go above and beyond in the infoormation provided, which is why most of my videos are 20minutes long. Hope you enjoy!
Looks like we have a few early votes for yes for the ingredients list, so I will need to find time to make it. I definitely want to get to it before the holidays but have a fairly full schedule lined up. But, if I know people want it....i will HAVE to get to it. Thanks for your input!
Love the review and the transparency of it. Can't wait to get my hands on some with the natural sourced caffeine and the touch of sea salt seems really interesting to try something different.
Great review very informative! I'm a sales rep for the distributor of both A Shoc and C4 here in the Southwest and your reviews on both are a great sales tool!
Awesome!!! Do I get a commission? 😂😂😂 Joking, joking, but YES definitely tell people about my reviews so they can find out more about the drinks. I super appreciate the free publicity!!!
Concerned Doggie I live in TX as well. Not sure if they have them where you are, or if they’re in all of TX, but I found them at my nearly all Stripes, out here. Flavors each one carries, can be hit or miss tho
4 months later...in Richmond (West Greater Houston) I ran into it in Kroger. Might have been there before but I tend to focus on Bang and Reign so might have just not seen it.
I hope Adrenaline blows up a little bit, so I can try these (I know i can order on Amazon) not the most convenient way I like to have my energy drinks.. I'm excited for the Peach Mango...I mean you gave it 9.4, its one of my favorite flavors too. Another solid review, keep it up!
With it being produced by the 3rd largest beverage company in the U.S, Im confident it will be everywhere by 2020, and hopefully in more places within the next few weeks as the larger distribution should be happing right now. We can hope! 👍
Well thank you so much! So kind of you! I appreciate it and I like bringing people informative videos as well as taste tests of new drinks hoping they can make the right choices for them. Thanks for watching!
Caffeine man really does make a difference with these reviews. I'm drinking one in 2022 & they changed the serving size to 1, also all the healthy ingredients (Gseeds, YM) are now right after the green coffee beans meaning we got hooked up with more of the good stuff. THANKS CAFFEINE MAN 👏👏
No problem! Glad you like the videos and find them informative. Ive considered going back to some brands and checking out the reformulation, like Bang switched from BCAAs to EAAs and Gfuel tweaked their formula and such.
Hey caffeine man, every time I find a different drink in my area I always go to you. Been watching you im pretty sure for 2 years but didn't catch this video, you're a great guy , and deserve so much more. I hope you had a good new year and 2022 treats you good!
Great review Caffeine Man! I'm going to have to wait for the full 2020 rollout to pick one up for myself. Additionally, it would be cool to have an ingredients video out there.
Orrrr.... just use my link to have them all delivered to your door! 😂 Yeah, a decent amount of people want the ingredient list, so thats very promising. Thanks!
Easiest way to get your hands on new flavors or products from any of the larger companies is through mom and pop convenience stores. Large retail chains sometimes take a while to approve new products.
CaffeineMan, in your opinion, what's the best watermelon flavored energy drink? Is it this one, RockStar PureZero or another one? Having a hard time finding a really good one.
No, I AM having a hard time finding a good Watermelon!!! LOL!!! So far, this one is the best one, but I know there has to be a better one out there, because nothing has really blown me away yet for JUST watermelon. Now, if you want something awesome that has some watermelon in it, I do recommend the Reign Melon Mania. Its good watermelon in there, plus other melon flavors.
Hey caffeine man, its me again, I just brought a adrenaline shoc drink today, I came to check out what's in it, I only trust you because you are the only one that does honest reviews, and gives lots of information
Hey caffeine man, ive tried the sugar free “uptime” energy drinks and my local 7/11, do u know of it/plan on making a video anytime soon? They’re alright, lightly carbonated with a diet taste (albeit good overall), just a lil expensive.
Its on my list, although I havent tried them yet. Ive seen them plenty of times at the convenience store but always get something else. They are actually the reason for 3D energys name. 3D Energy used to be called UP until Uptime sued them and then had to change their name from UP to 3D energy.
CaffeineMan yeah I remember that from your 3D energy video. It makes sense that it’s low on ur list since they’re common. I’ve only tried the blood orange and original sugar free. Their alright. I want to try the peach lemonade but I can’t find it anywhere.
Glad you like the channel! There are several, but not a lot... an unfortunately, I mentioned in my last video, that I wont be reviewing drinks with stevia anymore because my taste buds receptors dont like it. Makes it taste like chemicals and I can't give an accurate review with that chemical taste. Apparently a large percentage of people have this problem. The ones I reviewed were Zevia, FitAid Zero and Bird Brain. Others are Guru, some of the V8 +energies, and one that I heard was pretty good was the new Rowdy.
I can add it to the list, but teas don't really perform that well on my channel. Strangely enough, in the past 11 months Ive been doing this, nobody has requested any iced teas, so maybe THIS is a good sign!!!! Thanks!!!!
I just found out about this drink a few weeks ago. I tried the Black can, fruit punch and the ice. All great flavors. But there's one thing about the black can flavor that when I breathe through my nose, right before I drink it. I don't know what it is but I don't like it. Have you tried the KillCliff drinks?
Glad you like them. I got another video tomorrow on Ashoc. Some new drinks they came out with. As for KillCliff, no, they have stevia in them and i can't have any drinks with stevia.
Such a simple question, but a difficult one to answer. Every day is different based on what I need vs what I want. I dont have any set staples. I have a different energy drink almost every day based on my needs/wants. I'll probably do a video of my top ten for my 1 year anniversary.
Yeah, and with all the different flavors of everything, it can be a tough decision. Coconut? Cherry Lime? Rainbow Unicorn? Peach? Berry? Yerba Mate? Sparkling Ice? Really, it can take forever at the convenience store.
Finally you got it! I told you it was coming out man. I am the one that told you about this drink since I work for them. The Sour Candy is great. Better than the competition. It's more crisp with sour.
@mike roberts Not sure at how good since I couldnt remember how you were doing and had to ask.😂 A few months though, huh? Man, sorry to hear that. I'll try to ask you again in 4 videos... Glad you enjoy the videos!
Beleive it or not, I havent seen these in stores near me yet. I have been getting messages trickling in from other people (and seeing it on reddit) that its been popping up in other places, so they are definitely expanding in 2020. Just a matter of when I see them.
What I want to know is why is the store not allowed to carry a certain flavor that made no sense to me and I was under the impression that they had it they were just out of stock whenever I asked like a while back
Let me tell you, Ive learned to take everything store workers say as being misinformation. Ive been told so much wrong information from store clerks that I could write a book on everything wrong they've told me. If its true, I can only imagine its some stupid reason like, they didnt want to sell it to kids and kids like cotton candy. Who knows? Ive been told by GNC employees that Beyond Raw Lit didnt come in cans.... and found them in the sale aisle. "Oh, I didnt know they made that." Yeah, you didnt.
@@CaffeineMan1 she was the manger I believe but there is no spot the section where I thought it would be at was actually filled and they were stocked completely so I'm like now they don't have it, so I don't know I'll probably just going to order it online unless I hunt around different stores
Have you found any energy drink that taste like the Monster extra strength Anti gravity? They quit making it and it was the best! I switched to Redbull because of that.
Ashoc is carried in independently owned stores and will be launching in gate and racetrac cstores within the month with corporate grocery stores coming soon at least in Florida
I'm late to the video but I just tried watermelon and fruit punch and I really like both! The watermelon tastes like a jolly rancher to me and the fruit punch is probably the best fruit punch flavored energy drink I've had yet.
Better late than never!!! I have no problem with late people! Well... to my videos. In real life...grrrrrr... But yeah, thanks for watching and BEST fruit punch ever? Man, those are some strong words, but to each their own. I might have to try it again. Maybe I got a bad can.
Nice video. I just found this at my local gas station. Did you say it has tryptophan? Doesn't that make a person sleepy? I'll try it in a few hours when I go out.
Yep, they jam packed this with ingredients, but most of them are probably a limited amount in there. They probably use tryptophan to try and balance the effects of caffeine so that it reduces the chances of jitters while still giving you energy.
No no...definitely not. AShoc Watermelon is my favorite watermelon (and watermelon ONLY) energy drink. Reign Melon Mania has several different melon flavors in it. There is some watermelon, but there is also some sweet melon, maybe some honeydew, maybe a touch of canteloupe...overall it is several different melons, thus the name referring to it as being maniac, as opposed to just Manic Watermelon. Watermelon Mania. No, its Melon Mania, with several different melons in there. AShoc Watermelon was just under a rating of 8, whereas Reign Melon mania is a 9.5
Used to get a bang every morning and I loved them, but lately I’ve been getting sick of them, starting to all taste the same to me. Been starting to drink the adrenaline shocs instead and it’s been such a refreshing change.
The sweetness can be a bit too much all the time. Plus 300mgs everyday and you might start to develop a tolerance for it. I find it good to switch up the drinks. I mean, with soooooooooooo many other energy drinks out there, why not mix it up!
@@CaffeineMan1 I wana try the adrenaline shoc because everyone says their really good. But I feel like it wont affect me much different as my tolerance is pretty high.
@@ss15497 Well, be careful if your tolerance is getting too high. Caffeine will have a less effect on you and you may feel like you need more. If you go over the daily limits on a regular basis, side effects are known to potentially happen. If anything you may want to do a tolerance reset and try to cycle your caffeine. I did a video on Caffeine Detox which talks about all that a little bit, if interested.
I work for Keurig Dr. Pepper. Over the past few weeks theyve been hitting the market everywhere! They're so good to drink and we've definitely been loving these reviews and comments!
Awesome! Glad you like the videos! Thank you for watching. Adrenaline shoc was great and they actually got back to me quickly on social media. Ive actually been trying to contact you guys (Keurig Dr Pepper) for a while but not having any luck. I want to review your product Xyience but looks like their social media isnt too active and the Kuerig website just send my email to generic customer service and never heard back. IF you can pull any strings for a contact. 😉 Thanks for watching and glad you like the reviews !
@@CaffeineMan1 Their original flavor, which I thought was quite good. I also have an Acai and a Cotton Candy waiting in the fridge, so I'm pretty excited to try those as well.
these popped up at my corner store a few weeks ago and the same week they stopped carrying like half of the bang flavors they used to. I persoanlly prefer the taste and can aestheticsof Adrenaline Shoc over Bang.
Great content as usual Caffeineman. I thought the fruit punch and acai berry were really good, was surprised they were so low on your chart. 🤷♂️ More for me
Great video but is this drink actually healthy or not trying to get away from the regular energy drinks. If you have any other healthier energy drinks please let me know
@@CaffeineMan1 I'll mix and match this week, and let you know which one got me through a 10 hour work day better, and the rule is I'll only drink 1 starting at 6am and finished by 10am
@@CaffeineMan1 Reign got me throw today working out in the sun on a roof, and I didn't feel a crash at all. It kept me focused, and evened out all day! I'll drink a Bang tomorrow.
Nocco originally only in Sweden and only recently made it to the states within the past few months. I haven’t seen it anywhere and figured I’d needs to buy it online (or ask for free samples).
@@CaffeineMan1 Oh wow I didn't even think this would get to you! Yeah I didn't know anything about them but saw a RUclipsr drinking some of them. Love the content!
Awesome! Glad you like the channel. Yeah, apparently not a lot of RUclipsrs reply to people? Me. I try to whenever I can. I mean, if people wanted to go watch something and not reply, why not just watch TV. RUclips is social media and interactive. The best part about it is if you see someone and enjoy their content, you have the opportunity to ask them a question in their comments section. Im surprised by how many people do not reply. I feel that people are less inclined to continue watching someone if they are only interested in posting videos and ignoring people. The Set It and Forget It mentality. If you take the time to watch my video and ask me a question, I should take the time to reply to you. Whether its just a few words...or several sentences. Welcome to the channel!
@@CaffeineMan1 Much appreciated and I share your outlook. It's refreshing, but I also can only imagine the struggle it could become as your channel grows, which it has! Love the work, keep it up!
@@513KernalTV Agreed, but I will worry about that if that time ever comes and find a way to deal. I know a lot of big channels set aside certain times to reply to their subscribers so the subscribers know when to comment and when they'll get answers. Dont know if I will ever really get that big though, so Im not going to worry about it. LOL! Thanks for watching!
TurboSpool dude the lit pre workout is a very good supplement. I would take it on an empty stomach or a very light meal and I would get jittery but the energy put out was amazing . I would suggest mr Hyde but that ones mostly caffeine and it would take me 2 scoops
We have these at work in our break room store. It sucks because this is my favorite energy drink and I can only buy it at work. I can't wait until they go nationwide.
@@CaffeineMan1 hey CM TYVM , for the reply , from an older older vid. Im a new sub., and i must say i really enjoy your content . cheers my friend to new and exciting ( stimulating) products.😄
Dang.... drinking the Watermelon first..... that's living on the edge! Once again CaffeineMan awesome review! 👍 Guess what I saw at Dollar General today? The first energy drink Jolt Cola!👊👊👊😜
I just... couldn’t... wait!!!! Lol! Glad you liked the review. And yeah, jolt should be in dollar generals nationeide soon enough with thier new contract. Curious how it will do in this new health conscious world.
Doubt it. Think it was just time to revitalize themselves. Unfortunately, it will just be a nostalgia thing for most people....but then those people wont drink it. Why? Because they were kids who didnt know better at the time. Today, those same Jolt lovers, are now responsible adults who would never touch anything with that much sugar. Half the people probably already have diabetes. So, yeah, its nice that its back but I dont expect it to be around too long.
@@CaffeineMan1 I have yet to try it, but I have high hopes for it! I am drinking a bai bubbles sparkling antioxidant infusion right now, and it is actually quite good in my opinion.
I tried the Frozen Ice and I loved the can design it is so slick and cool but the drink itself was horrible I didn’t taste like Ultra Zero it tasted more like lemon water mixed with Gatorade zero cherry glacier but with more chemicals I’ll have to see if the other ones are sweeter
You know, come to think of it, I haven’t. To be honest, ever since that review, I still don’t recall seeing them in stores near me. I’ll have to keep a closer eye out.
CaffeineMan Well, you hit 100k and become the CEO of Monster Energy Drinks. Sounds pretty awesome doesn’t it? Oh and you’re still not sponsored by G-Fuel Cans, which is a HUGE downside.
100K Yay!!!! CEO of Monster - BBBOoooooooooooo!!!!!!! G-Fuel. They make me cry. I guess if I own Monster I'll have to make my own BETTER powdered energy drink and try and put them out of business. And try to sue them a lot.
@@aaronsanchez93 Well, don't let your first one be a judge of all of them. Id try at least one more (something higher on my list, lol) and see what you think.
Not that I recommend drinking, but a couple times I had a friend crack out some beer while fishing an evening before work and I work at 6 am. I woke feeling so off. I drank about 1/4 Adrenaline shoc right away when I got up, and felt focused, awake, and ready to go! It also didn't give me that's weird stomach feel that bang does if I don't eat a good breakfast.
reigns usually dont mess with my stomach but bangs give me pretty bad acid reflux most of the time. Just bought some adrenaline shoc today, excited to try it
Ive already started working on it, but it got put on the back burner for other things. And.... and... it wouldnt be interesting at all. The ASMR people would put them selves to sleep with it. 😂😂😂
I attempt to save any of the ones I like by putting them in a ziplock bag and using a straw to take out extra air. I can usually save 2 that way, but they still dont taste as good. The rest, unfortunately, have to go bye bye. Heres a section of a video on how I feel about that. Skip to time stamp called Memorial Service: ruclips.net/video/feoyHVbwUHY/видео.html
Trying to figure out why after 3 days of drinking energy drinks I start feeling really really bad, am I over dozing on B vitamins maybe or some other ingredients?
How many energy drinks a day? How much caffeine? I drink them everyday but limit how many based on how much caffeine. It won’t be B Vitamins because anything over 100% DV get passed through the urine.
They have adrenaline shoc at Kroger and they have so many different energy drinks in places like shell and what not you have to almost go to low key gas stations to get good drinks
Yeah, I need to tour around to lots of different places to try and find them. RI is a small state and in my surrounding area in massachusetts, Ive hit up a LOT of stores. Havent found my special go-to place yet.
Jus picked up a Acia berry I like that flavor the last one I tried was the blue raspberry one I didn't care for it let me find out that pink one is a cotton candy 🍭
My wife picked some up from Kroger here in TX. The ingredients looked good, but I thought the black Smart Energy was so awful that I couldn’t even finish the can.
Im not a fan of citrus myself, so I would never opt to pick up a citrus one....the problem is, they didnt label this one as a citrus one, its just their original flavor. I feel it might be a flaw in their system because it doesnt taste like a stereotypical "original" energy drink flavor. So, if you dont like citrus, and dont know its citrus, you'll be upset. My vote, if you're up to it, would be to buy a flavor you think youd like (cross reference my list and DO NOT buy the Fruit Punch) and give it another try. But thats just me. Either way, thanks for watching!!!

The ones I reviewed were Zevia, FitAid Zero and Bird Brain. Others are Guru, some of the V8 +energies, and one that I heard was pretty good was the new Rowdy.
@@CaffeineMan1
Awesome!!
Thank you.
Yes, for some strange reason I like stevia...
Can you review Crystal Light powdered teas?
White Wolf your image looks like my husky with baby blue eyes
I can add it to the list, but teas don't really perform that well on my channel. Strangely enough, in the past 11 months Ive been doing this, nobody has requested any iced teas, so maybe THIS is a good sign!!!! Thanks!!!!
@@CaffeineMan1 I just love the tea
I just found out about this drink a few weeks ago. I tried the Black can, fruit punch and the ice. All great flavors. But there's one thing about the black can flavor that when I breathe through my nose, right before I drink it. I don't know what it is but I don't like it. Have you tried the KillCliff drinks?
Glad you like them. I got another video tomorrow on Ashoc. Some new drinks they came out with. As for KillCliff, no, they have stevia in them and i can't have any drinks with stevia.
@@CaffeineMan1 Alergic reaction?
Am curious to know with that big of a selection of drinks what's your go to ..
Such a simple question, but a difficult one to answer. Every day is different based on what I need vs what I want. I dont have any set staples. I have a different energy drink almost every day based on my needs/wants. I'll probably do a video of my top ten for my 1 year anniversary.
I kinda figured that .. amount of caffeine needed is not always the same
Yeah, and with all the different flavors of everything, it can be a tough decision.
Coconut?
Cherry Lime?
Rainbow Unicorn?
Peach?
Berry?
Yerba Mate?
Sparkling Ice?
Really, it can take forever at the convenience store.
Finally you got it! I told you it was coming out man. I am the one that told you about this drink since I work for them. The Sour Candy is great. Better than the competition. It's more crisp with sour.
I am a marketing sales representative for Keurig Dr Pepper it has definitely taken off here in Indiana
Small world. I came from the Northern IN area to SW/Western MI territory.
I am out of Fort Wayne Ashock is really starting to take off up in this market
@@joshuazwick3967 I went from South Bend to Holland. My Columbus branch launched it into space especially at Giant Eagle and Kroger.
I can't find it anywhere near me! I got hooked to the sour candy and shock wave!
Yay Tuesday ! The caffeine man is back!
Im here! How you feeling man? Still recovering?
Yes sir I have months to go, man you are good at keeping up with us fans. I appreciate you man
@mike roberts Not sure at how good since I couldnt remember how you were doing and had to ask.😂 A few months though, huh? Man, sorry to hear that. I'll try to ask you again in 4 videos... Glad you enjoy the videos!
I enjoy the videos for sure. I will keep,watching
The best adrenaline shock flavor is Açai flavor. Plus it has Yerba Mate, green coffee bean, and Guarana seed. Mhmh
Yes, if you are a fan of the yerba mate and guarana drinks, the acai flavor is very much similar to those types of flavors.
My favorite is the watermelon. 2nd would be acai berry
2 years later, they have a store locator which also shows the flavors in stock at those stores!
Great Progress!
What one do ya like bang or ashoc just wondering
Have you tried the sour candy yet? If so what do you rate it on your scale ? Thanks for your review !
Beleive it or not, I havent seen these in stores near me yet. I have been getting messages trickling in from other people (and seeing it on reddit) that its been popping up in other places, so they are definitely expanding in 2020. Just a matter of when I see them.
What I want to know is why is the store not allowed to carry a certain flavor that made no sense to me and I was under the impression that they had it they were just out of stock whenever I asked like a while back
Let me tell you, Ive learned to take everything store workers say as being misinformation. Ive been told so much wrong information from store clerks that I could write a book on everything wrong they've told me.
If its true, I can only imagine its some stupid reason like, they didnt want to sell it to kids and kids like cotton candy. Who knows?
Ive been told by GNC employees that Beyond Raw Lit didnt come in cans.... and found them in the sale aisle. "Oh, I didnt know they made that." Yeah, you didnt.
@@CaffeineMan1 she was the manger I believe but there is no spot the section where I thought it would be at was actually filled and they were stocked completely so I'm like now they don't have it, so I don't know I'll probably just going to order it online unless I hunt around different stores
Have you found any energy drink that taste like the Monster extra strength Anti gravity? They quit making it and it was the best! I switched to Redbull because of that.
No not really. And I think you made a GREAT choice. Red Bull over Monster any day 😀
A shoc is giving bang a run for its money here in the Great Lakes. Wow the best energy drink I have had in years.
Wow, good to hear. I wasnt sure if it would be as popular as Bang but it does seem to be catching on.
Ashoc is carried in independently owned stores and will be launching in gate and racetrac cstores within the month with corporate grocery stores coming soon at least in Florida
Thanks for the extra info! Appreciate it!
I'm late to the video but I just tried watermelon and fruit punch and I really like both!
The watermelon tastes like a jolly rancher to me and the fruit punch is probably the best fruit punch flavored energy drink I've had yet.
Better late than never!!! I have no problem with late people! Well... to my videos. In real life...grrrrrr...
But yeah, thanks for watching and BEST fruit punch ever? Man, those are some strong words, but to each their own. I might have to try it again. Maybe I got a bad can.
haven't seen this in West Texas, but I'm going to Dallas next week and I'm gonna seek these out.
Good luck! Let me know what you find and which you like best!👍
Check the grocery stores first.... not Walmart I don't think...
Try HEB if u happen to be by one. Last time I went they had all the flavors
They are at the Kroger stores in Dallas in a singular display near dairy at most
Thanks everyone!
Nice video. I just found this at my local gas station. Did you say it has tryptophan? Doesn't that make a person sleepy? I'll try it in a few hours when I go out.
Yep, they jam packed this with ingredients, but most of them are probably a limited amount in there. They probably use tryptophan to try and balance the effects of caffeine so that it reduces the chances of jitters while still giving you energy.
I was trying to like the comment
But, my phone kept missing it. Lol
You remind me of Charles of Brooklyn 99 if he loved energy drinks dig your videos tho!
Hey caffeine man. I had one of these Adrenaline rush caffeine drink and wow powerful!
Nice! Which one did you have?
So the watermelon is better than the Reign watermelon ?
No no...definitely not. AShoc Watermelon is my favorite watermelon (and watermelon ONLY) energy drink. Reign Melon Mania has several different melon flavors in it. There is some watermelon, but there is also some sweet melon, maybe some honeydew, maybe a touch of canteloupe...overall it is several different melons, thus the name referring to it as being maniac, as opposed to just Manic Watermelon. Watermelon Mania. No, its Melon Mania, with several different melons in there. AShoc Watermelon was just under a rating of 8, whereas Reign Melon mania is a 9.5
Hey caffeine man you da best
THANKS!!!!
Oh ya
A few weeks ago, I got the watermelon flavored one at a Chevron. It was pretty good👍
Yeah, agreed. One of my favorites of the watermelons. Thanks for watching ! 👍🏻
Used to get a bang every morning and I loved them, but lately I’ve been getting sick of them, starting to all taste the same to me. Been starting to drink the adrenaline shocs instead and it’s been such a refreshing change.
The sweetness can be a bit too much all the time. Plus 300mgs everyday and you might start to develop a tolerance for it. I find it good to switch up the drinks. I mean, with soooooooooooo many other energy drinks out there, why not mix it up!
@@CaffeineMan1 I wana try the adrenaline shoc because everyone says their really good. But I feel like it wont affect me much different as my tolerance is pretty high.
@@ss15497 Well, be careful if your tolerance is getting too high. Caffeine will have a less effect on you and you may feel like you need more. If you go over the daily limits on a regular basis, side effects are known to potentially happen. If anything you may want to do a tolerance reset and try to cycle your caffeine. I did a video on Caffeine Detox which talks about all that a little bit, if interested.
@@CaffeineMan1 ty ill check it out.
I work for Keurig Dr. Pepper. Over the past few weeks theyve been hitting the market everywhere! They're so good to drink and we've definitely been loving these reviews and comments!
Awesome! Glad you like the videos! Thank you for watching. Adrenaline shoc was great and they actually got back to me quickly on social media. Ive actually been trying to contact you guys (Keurig Dr Pepper) for a while but not having any luck. I want to review your product Xyience but looks like their social media isnt too active and the Kuerig website just send my email to generic customer service and never heard back. IF you can pull any strings for a contact. 😉
Thanks for watching and glad you like the reviews !
Just had another one of these today, and I'm starting to like this brand. Nice review.
Which one?
@@CaffeineMan1 Their original flavor, which I thought was quite good. I also have an Acai and a Cotton Candy waiting in the fridge, so I'm pretty excited to try those as well.
@@skylerrussell645 I recommend the Cotton Candy next, LOL!
these popped up at my corner store a few weeks ago and the same week they stopped carrying like half of the bang flavors they used to. I persoanlly prefer the taste and can aestheticsof Adrenaline Shoc over Bang.
I finally found them at a 7/11 near where I work about a week ago. Happy to see theyre finally expanding. Good stuff!
I’m not sure if they changed the fruit punch but I just had it today and thought it was amazing! Thought it was a very strong fruit punch flavor
Perhaps I got a bad can? I should probably revisit it.
Channel name checks out 💛
👍👍👍
For a 300mg caffeine it's a pretty steady release. Not much in way of gitters
Yeah, they did a good job with it and the natural caffeine helps out when it comes to reducing jitters.
Great content as usual Caffeineman. I thought the fruit punch and acai berry were really good, was surprised they were so low on your chart. 🤷♂️ More for me
😂 Well, we all have different taste buds. Ive liked some of their newer ones recently. They've definitely switched things up from when they started.
@@CaffeineMan1 💯! Their Blue Razzberry is one of my all time favorites which as you know is one of their more recent releases
They’ve hit the stores here in Houston 👌
Thanks Wreckless!
does bang have an original flavor?
Probably star blast is their "original" flavor since it was one of the first flavors that came out.
@brent mckinney No, they never had an original flavor. Went straight to the flavored flavors...and havent stopped since.
This energy drink has really boosted my workout
Happy to hear that! They've been pretty competitive against the other preworkouts.
You have to try Raze watermelon 🍉... also the guava mango , and strawberry colada 😎👌🏽... those are my favorite
I think I need to try them all 😂
So I'm JUST seeing this review because I saw these in my 7/11 but clicking on your link, I couldnt find the variety pack! Is it not for sale anymore?
Great video but is this drink actually healthy or not trying to get away from the regular energy drinks. If you have any other healthier energy drinks please let me know
Yeah, check out my channel. I did a whole Healthier Energy Drink Series that I consistently add to... and most pre-workouts are good for you as well.
Idk if I missed it, but which would you prefer. Out of these, Bang, and Reign?
Bang and Reign... its a tight race.
@@CaffeineMan1 Awesome! I agree! Reign is a little nicer to my stomach personally.
@@CaffeineMan1 I'll mix and match this week, and let you know which one got me through a 10 hour work day better, and the rule is I'll only drink 1 starting at 6am and finished by 10am
Definitely let me know! I love feedback. That’s about how long it takes me to drink one! 😂
@@CaffeineMan1 Reign got me throw today working out in the sun on a roof, and I didn't feel a crash at all. It kept me focused, and evened out all day! I'll drink a Bang tomorrow.
Any upcoming videos on Nocco?? I've seen them around but see little about them
Nocco originally only in Sweden and only recently made it to the states within the past few months. I haven’t seen it anywhere and figured I’d needs to buy it online (or ask for free samples).
@@CaffeineMan1 Oh wow I didn't even think this would get to you! Yeah I didn't know anything about them but saw a RUclipsr drinking some of them. Love the content!
Awesome! Glad you like the channel.
Yeah, apparently not a lot of RUclipsrs reply to people? Me. I try to whenever I can. I mean, if people wanted to go watch something and not reply, why not just watch TV. RUclips is social media and interactive. The best part about it is if you see someone and enjoy their content, you have the opportunity to ask them a question in their comments section. Im surprised by how many people do not reply. I feel that people are less inclined to continue watching someone if they are only interested in posting videos and ignoring people. The Set It and Forget It mentality. If you take the time to watch my video and ask me a question, I should take the time to reply to you. Whether its just a few words...or several sentences. Welcome to the channel!
@@CaffeineMan1 Much appreciated and I share your outlook. It's refreshing, but I also can only imagine the struggle it could become as your channel grows, which it has! Love the work, keep it up!
@@513KernalTV Agreed, but I will worry about that if that time ever comes and find a way to deal. I know a lot of big channels set aside certain times to reply to their subscribers so the subscribers know when to comment and when they'll get answers. Dont know if I will ever really get that big though, so Im not going to worry about it. LOL! Thanks for watching!
Can you review the “lit” energy drink from any gnc store, it’s more like a pre work out
TurboSpool dude the lit pre workout is a very good supplement. I would take it on an empty stomach or a very light meal and I would get jittery but the energy put out was amazing . I would suggest mr Hyde but that ones mostly caffeine and it would take me 2 scoops
Yes, I need to eventually do both reviews once I start to catch up. Thanks for watching!!
We have these at work in our break room store. It sucks because this is my favorite energy drink and I can only buy it at work. I can't wait until they go nationwide.
I know! Im surprised its taking this long for them to roll out. I need my Mango and Watermelon!
Im not sure about all the stores but i found these at my local walgreens in east ky
They actually expanded a LOT throughout 2020. Its, like, everywhere around me now.
@@CaffeineMan1 hey CM TYVM , for the reply , from an older older vid. Im a new sub., and i must say i really enjoy your content . cheers my friend to new and exciting ( stimulating) products.😄
Just found this brand. Thanks again
Glad you found it! They just redesigned the can too.
Dang.... drinking the Watermelon first..... that's living on the edge! Once again CaffeineMan awesome review! 👍
Guess what I saw at Dollar General today? The first energy drink Jolt Cola!👊👊👊😜
I just... couldn’t... wait!!!! Lol! Glad you liked the review. And yeah, jolt should be in dollar generals nationeide soon enough with thier new contract. Curious how it will do in this new health conscious world.
@@CaffeineMan1 I wonder if they are bringing it out to compete with Coca-cola Energy....?
Doubt it. Think it was just time to revitalize themselves. Unfortunately, it will just be a nostalgia thing for most people....but then those people wont drink it. Why? Because they were kids who didnt know better at the time. Today, those same Jolt lovers, are now responsible adults who would never touch anything with that much sugar. Half the people probably already have diabetes. So, yeah, its nice that its back but I dont expect it to be around too long.
@@CaffeineMan1 😂😂 Totally..... it was my brothers generation...... I was stuck on Dr Pepper and Coke! ...... and Gatorade gum!😂😂
Can you do a video on GURU energy drink?
Hi Jaya! Yes. That is already on my list to review. Thanks for watching!
Picked up the Acai Berry Adrenaline Shoc at Giant Eagle today!
Did you like it?
@@CaffeineMan1 I have yet to try it, but I have high hopes for it! I am drinking a bai bubbles sparkling antioxidant infusion right now, and it is actually quite good in my opinion.
I saw that the other day and ALMOST picked it up. I’ll have to try it now.
@@CaffeineMan1 Nice!!!!
I tried the Frozen Ice and I loved the can design it is so slick and cool but the drink itself was horrible I didn’t taste like Ultra Zero it tasted more like lemon water mixed with Gatorade zero cherry glacier but with more chemicals I’ll have to see if the other ones are sweeter
Oh, the others ones are sweeter. Im not a huge fan of the ice/frost/glacier flavors.
Just had the black can, I guess it’s the original? So dang good! Love the grapefruit flavoring!
Yep, thats considered the original. Was a little too citrusy for me, and yeah, I can see it being a bit grapefruity as well.
Found it at Albertsons in yuma az
Awesome! Thanks for the update!!!
It’s great stuff
Did you ever get to try the sour candy one?
You know, come to think of it, I haven’t. To be honest, ever since that review, I still don’t recall seeing them in stores near me. I’ll have to keep a closer eye out.
@@CaffeineMan1 they have them where I live, so if you need one just lemme know. I can always send you some 👍
Haven’t watched yet, but I know it’s gonna be good!
Its like you're a psychic!
Wait, did you know i was going to say that???
CaffeineMan I stay one step ahead of you CaffeineMan! I have planned out and know everything in your future.
Well....I know you probably can't tell me too much about my own future due to repercussions and all, but does it look good overall?
CaffeineMan Well, you hit 100k and become the CEO of Monster Energy Drinks. Sounds pretty awesome doesn’t it? Oh and you’re still not sponsored by G-Fuel Cans, which is a HUGE downside.
100K Yay!!!!
CEO of Monster - BBBOoooooooooooo!!!!!!!
G-Fuel. They make me cry.
I guess if I own Monster I'll have to make my own BETTER powdered energy drink and try and put them out of business. And try to sue them a lot.
The black can tastes exactly like original NOS.
I’m looking at this video while having my first can fruit punch is what I went for.
Oh boy, one of my least favorites. That being said, a lot of other people seemed to like the fruit punch and said I was the weird one.
CaffeineMan i didn’t like it! And had to agree with you. It was not good didn’t even finish it ended up throwing it out!!
@@aaronsanchez93 Well, don't let your first one be a judge of all of them. Id try at least one more (something higher on my list, lol) and see what you think.
CaffeineMan i definitely wanna give the Ice one a go! I saw that made the list pretty high
@@aaronsanchez93 Good luck!
Love it. Ya Chak Yerba Mate energy is something you need to check out!
I tried those didnt really care for the flavor
Already did a review on it. Feel free to peruse my channel for it!!! 👍
Not that I recommend drinking, but a couple times I had a friend crack out some beer while fishing an evening before work and I work at 6 am. I woke feeling so off. I drank about 1/4 Adrenaline shoc right away when I got up, and felt focused, awake, and ready to go! It also didn't give me that's weird stomach feel that bang does if I don't eat a good breakfast.
reigns usually dont mess with my stomach but bangs give me pretty bad acid reflux most of the time. Just bought some adrenaline shoc today, excited to try it
I drank the whole can up for 3 days
The ingredients list video idea would be pretty interesting to watch
Ive already started working on it, but it got put on the back burner for other things. And.... and... it wouldnt be interesting at all. The ASMR people would put them selves to sleep with it. 😂😂😂
Do you throw the rest away after drinking multiple drinks?
I attempt to save any of the ones I like by putting them in a ziplock bag and using a straw to take out extra air. I can usually save 2 that way, but they still dont taste as good. The rest, unfortunately, have to go bye bye. Heres a section of a video on how I feel about that. Skip to time stamp called Memorial Service:
ruclips.net/video/feoyHVbwUHY/видео.html
Trying to figure out why after 3 days of drinking energy drinks I start feeling really really bad, am I over dozing on B vitamins maybe or some other ingredients?
How many energy drinks a day? How much caffeine? I drink them everyday but limit how many based on how much caffeine. It won’t be B Vitamins because anything over 100% DV get passed through the urine.
They have adrenaline shoc at Kroger and they have so many different energy drinks in places like shell and what not you have to almost go to low key gas stations to get good drinks
Yeah, I need to tour around to lots of different places to try and find them. RI is a small state and in my surrounding area in massachusetts, Ive hit up a LOT of stores. Havent found my special go-to place yet.
@@CaffeineMan1 yeah I feel that man you'll get there though
Hello caffeineman can you do a review on up time
Sure! It’s actually already in my request list. Thanks!
@@CaffeineMan1 also can you do life aid drinks life aid ,fitaid,golfaid partyaid ,thrive ,focus, immunityaid ,lifeaid rx,
Probably not... only the ones with caffeine in them... hence my name.
WOuld be really nice what typeof ingridients you like the mostin a enregy dink!!!!
Hey can u do review on Stacker2. U can get them at Dollar Tree for a $1. I'm still waiting on that review on the FitAid lol
Fit aid is still on the list and moving up! But, if I didn’t mention it, it’s a long list! 😂
Jus picked up a Acia berry I like that flavor the last one I tried was the blue raspberry one I didn't care for it let me find out that pink one is a cotton candy 🍭
Where is the sweetness coming from? Is there an artificial sweetener?
Yes, it uses Sucralose and Acesulfame Potassium.
Who thought that are so many energy drinks on the market? :))
Nice vid man!👍🏻
And sooooo many more to come! I need more shelves. 😀
@@CaffeineMan1 Ya boi! Can't wait to watch you're next clips :))
Thanks!
I honestly like all 8 flavors. I appreciate the non chemical taste
They do actually have 2 more too. The Orange Freeze and Blue Raspberry. Very good as well.
By far my favorite energy drink for anything work, workouts or just caffeine
Great to hear! Happy to like them. Have you tried the 2 semi-new ones yet? Orange Freeze and Blue Raspberry? Yum!
You should interview energy drink people 💕
Like who?
My wife picked some up from Kroger here in TX. The ingredients looked good, but I thought the black Smart Energy was so awful that I couldn’t even finish the can.
Im not a fan of citrus myself, so I would never opt to pick up a citrus one....the problem is, they didnt label this one as a citrus one, its just their original flavor. I feel it might be a flaw in their system because it doesnt taste like a stereotypical "original" energy drink flavor. So, if you dont like citrus, and dont know its citrus, you'll be upset. My vote, if you're up to it, would be to buy a flavor you think youd like (cross reference my list and DO NOT buy the Fruit Punch) and give it another try. But thats just me. Either way, thanks for watching!!!
