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 As sugar was withdrawn from the drinks, popularity began to rise.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.
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.
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.
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! 👍
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.
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!
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!!!
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.
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!
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 !
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
I have tried it and it’s pretty good. If you like Bang that has a soft taste and not too sweet energy drinks, you’ll love this drink. You don’t get a crash and it has a long lasting energy effect throughout your day.
This is the best energy drink out there. It really does feel clean. Monster gives this ugly energy feeling. Tastes and feels unhealthy. Bang feels like a good energy buzz for like what? An hour? But adrebaline shoc has me feeling both mentally and physically awake and at my best. It lasts longer than an hour too. Doesnt feel heavy at all. Great drink, my fav
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.
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
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!
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.
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!
@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 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.
I feel it through my entire body and coursing through my veins, but Im pretty sure im made up of 75% energy drinks now. When I go for bloodwork, they get mostly carbonation.
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
@@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.
Yeah, international regulations on Caffeine AND sugar make it difficult to get drinks to other countries...although Reign and Bang have started to expand internationally. Instead of 300mgs of caffeine, they have 150mgs.
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.
Glad to hear its near you. Ive been hearing from a lot of people that its starting to show up everywhere now, so thats awesome. Several people have commented that they liked the Fruit Punch. Im guessing its because its different from regular fruit punch and I was expecting a traditional fruit punch.
I got a free sample working at Walgreens from the vendor. The one I got is the smart energy. I'm not really into energy drinks but I'm giving this one a try as I'm watching this video. It tastes ok. I don't know if I'll ever buy it but it was cool to try out.
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.
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.
This is only your second video and you survived all 28 minutes of it? Good for you. Good FOR you!!! Glad you enjoyed it. Now, go watch my other 50 videos which are all between 10-20 minutes long 😂 Thanks for watching and happy to have you here!
The name DEFINITELY looked famiiar. Im just trying to figure out what you meant by "second video by caffeineman". I only did one this week, so I thought you meant it was your second video you watched.
Ah! That makes more sense. Which means my original comment made no sense to you. Lets try again. "Heck yeah! 28:38 is a new record! And that was with a lot of editing. You dont want to know how long the unedited version was!!!"
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.
@@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.
Fruit punch has always been my favroite with Monster Ballers Blend, NOS Rowdy, Rockstar Punched, etc. So naturally I tried Fruit Punch first and yeah it tasted nothing like fruit punch I couldn't even finish it. Seeing as you had the same reaction I did maybe I can give them another chance and try the other flavors. Cotton Candy sounds good.
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!!!
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
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. 😂😂😂
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
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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
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.
Good review and good insight on the creator and the company. Just seen and purchased the sour candy version today through dollar tree. Taste good, i don't like that they use sucralose, artificial sweetner. This ingredient is vile for the body. The 300 milligrams of caffeine does hit the spot for me. Overall good drink. Better than monster, my opinion.
Glad you liked all the info. I do try to add a little more to my reviews than other reviews. Glad you liked the drink to. As for Sucralose, do you personally have a bad reaction to it? There is a lot of misinformation out there about the healthiness of sucralose. I actually did a collab with a Biochemist who discusses the studies done on sucralose and the ONE study that gave sucralose a bad name. Feel free to check it out. It is Part 2 of my 3 part series Are Energy Drinks Bad For You. ruclips.net/video/oD34xvmyW8w/видео.html
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
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
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
I drink 1 energy every morning then water the rest of the day and I've tried them all from monster to rockstar. Adrenaline shoc really has that kick to wake u up and get u moving without the crash later. I can sip on one can for the whole morning and it just keeps me going lol
Yeah, its probably all the additional ingredients they have it. Tons of stuff for your body so Im sure when you wake up your will absorb each and every one of those ingredients.
These honestly aren't so bad. I don't like sucrslose at all and though I definitely taste it, it's not as sickeningly sweet as other drinks containing the ingredient that I do complain about. I'm having a hard time finding "Zest Tea" lately so this will be my replacement for now.
this absolute madman drank the drink in the beginning!
A man's gotta do...what a mans gotta do.
And he matched his shirt with it hahaha

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
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.

I definitely like the idea of a video about ingredients! That would be super cool.
Already started working on the 'script' but its going to take a while. There are a lot of ingredients!!! LOL!
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 ! 👍🏻
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.
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
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.
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!
2 years later, they have a store locator which also shows the flavors in stock at those stores!
Great Progress!
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!
Thank you for your hard work and brilliant content
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!
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
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?
I feel the energy in my cheek pores and eyes with these drinks for some reason
Anyone else?
I feel it through my entire body and coursing through my veins, but Im pretty sure im made up of 75% energy drinks now. When I go for bloodwork, they get mostly carbonation.
It’s the niacin. Works similarly to beta alanine
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!
Great review as always! Can’t wait to try these!
Thanks! Appreciate it! Let me know what you think when you do try them.
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!
Couldn't get the Amazon link to open and I need these in my life ! Also love the reviews!!
Hmph, I hope the link is working. Either that or they sold out after my review 😂
Glad you like the videos! Thanks for watching!
Adrenaline Shoc was suppose to be out in June but was delayed for whatever reason.
Yeah, and then it was only released to 30-40 thousand stores... still not in my neighborhood yet.
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 so jealous of all the variety CM can buy,I live in Germany so the only Energy I can Buy is pretty much just Redbull,Monster and Rockstar
Yeah, international regulations on Caffeine AND sugar make it difficult to get drinks to other countries...although Reign and Bang have started to expand internationally. Instead of 300mgs of caffeine, they have 150mgs.
Great Host. Thanks!!!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
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!
I got the blue raspberry and I like it and don't like it lol, it has a weird kick to it after every sip
AShoc definitely has something unique in it.
@@CaffeineMan1 yup, I think it will become an acquired taste lol
Awesome Review man! Hope you had a good weekend man! Thanks as always
Thanks! Glad you liked it and survived the storm!
I just found your channel... Great info... Is there any energy drinks sweetened with *stevia instead of sucralose*
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.
@@CaffeineMan1
Awesome!!
Thank you.
Yes, for some strange reason I like stevia...
I'd say their original flavor has a subtle passion fruit taste to it!
I definitely got some kind of citrus vibe from it, so maybe that was it!
Thanks for the content caffeine man!
No problem! Anytime... well, at least once a week actually.
I personally felt like the fruit punch was the best out of the couple I tasted, they just brought them near where I live
Glad to hear its near you. Ive been hearing from a lot of people that its starting to show up everywhere now, so thats awesome. Several people have commented that they liked the Fruit Punch. Im guessing its because its different from regular fruit punch and I was expecting a traditional fruit punch.
I got a free sample working at Walgreens from the vendor. The one I got is the smart energy. I'm not really into energy drinks but I'm giving this one a try as I'm watching this video. It tastes ok. I don't know if I'll ever buy it but it was cool to try out.
I really want to try the ice one and peach mango one now
Id definitely go with the peach mango. The Smart one is more of a lemon lime standard flavor. THe Mango is good.
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.
Hey caffeine man. I had one of these Adrenaline rush caffeine drink and wow powerful!
Nice! Which one did you have?
Available all over Florida in independent convenience stores. Chain stores will be coming on board over the next few months.
Thanks Tommy!
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.
3$s per 12 ounces, pretty close to red bull
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.
I need to try them though because I know they have theanine in them and Im a fan of that. That white peach sounds good.
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.
I’ve tried all of them, I like açaí berry, fruit punch, original, cotton candy, frozen ice, sour candy, watermelon, peach mango, in that order
Nice! Glad to see you have a large selection near you! They only have 4 in the store near me but Im sure more are coming.
CaffeineMan I live about 10 miles east of Columbus, Ohio. I saw them released sometime in January at my local giant eagle.
28:38 second video by caffeine man?? HELL YA!!!!!!
This is only your second video and you survived all 28 minutes of it? Good for you. Good FOR you!!!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Now, go watch my other 50 videos which are all between 10-20 minutes long 😂
Thanks for watching and happy to have you here!
CaffeineMan haha i changed my profile pic. i used to have a red picture. i’ve seen almost all you vids of course😂😂
The name DEFINITELY looked famiiar. Im just trying to figure out what you meant by "second video by caffeineman". I only did one this week, so I thought you meant it was your second video you watched.
CaffeineMan oh lol i meant 28 minute and 38 seconds. 😂😂
Ah!
That makes more sense.
Which means my original comment made no sense to you.
Lets try again.
"Heck yeah! 28:38 is a new record! And that was with a lot of editing. You dont want to know how long the unedited version was!!!"
They’ve hit the stores here in Houston 👌
Thanks Wreckless!
Hey caffeine man you da best
THANKS!!!!
Oh ya
This energy drink has really boosted my workout
Happy to hear that! They've been pretty competitive against the other preworkouts.
I got cotton candy at dollar tree & they also had sour candy. I like Reign better.
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!!! 👍
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.
A NASCAR driver Chase Elliott had Adrenaline Shoc for his car this year. Mountain Dew left the sport so Adrenaline Shoc came in for Chase Elliott.
Nice to see them getting some big sponsors!
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?
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.
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
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.
You better keep it real, Lance. We Caffeine Minions are watching you.
😂
You should interview energy drink people 💕
Like who?
Fruit punch has always been my favroite with Monster Ballers Blend, NOS Rowdy, Rockstar Punched, etc. So naturally I tried Fruit Punch first and yeah it tasted nothing like fruit punch I couldn't even finish it. Seeing as you had the same reaction I did maybe I can give them another chance and try the other flavors. Cotton Candy sounds good.
Yeah the cotton candy was good, but if you like orange creamsicle or blue razz, they have Orange Freeze and Blue Raspberry that are both really good.
Just found this brand. Thanks again
Glad you found it! They just redesigned the can too.
From the bang and the ashoc what ones do ya like few of those ashoc with that bang it has certain ones I like
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!!!
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!
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
Channel name checks out 💛
👍👍👍
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. 😂😂😂
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.
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.
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’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!
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.
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.
Good review and good insight on the creator and the company. Just seen and purchased the sour candy version today through dollar tree. Taste good, i don't like that they use sucralose, artificial sweetner. This ingredient is vile for the body. The 300 milligrams of caffeine does hit the spot for me. Overall good drink. Better than monster, my opinion.
Glad you liked all the info. I do try to add a little more to my reviews than other reviews. Glad you liked the drink to. As for Sucralose, do you personally have a bad reaction to it? There is a lot of misinformation out there about the healthiness of sucralose. I actually did a collab with a Biochemist who discusses the studies done on sucralose and the ONE study that gave sucralose a bad name. Feel free to check it out. It is Part 2 of my 3 part series Are Energy Drinks Bad For You.
ruclips.net/video/oD34xvmyW8w/видео.html
And yes a ingredients video
Dang, first yes. 😂
a lot of work but it should help shorten my newer videos....in theory.
Can’t say I’m a fan of the peach mango but I really like the watermelon
Theres definitely a lot of watermelons to try this year! Glad you like this one!
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
Seeing this energy drink for the first time, a year later after this video, found it at food lion.
It took them a little while to get nationwide, but they are eventually getting into lots of places now!
I’m glad that they didn’t put 300%+ of your daily percent value for vitamins like Redbull and GFuel does.
Yeah, no need for that really.
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
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
I drink 1 energy every morning then water the rest of the day and I've tried them all from monster to rockstar. Adrenaline shoc really has that kick to wake u up and get u moving without the crash later. I can sip on one can for the whole morning and it just keeps me going lol
Yeah, its probably all the additional ingredients they have it. Tons of stuff for your body so Im sure when you wake up your will absorb each and every one of those ingredients.
These honestly aren't so bad. I don't like sucrslose at all and though I definitely taste it, it's not as sickeningly sweet as other drinks containing the ingredient that I do complain about. I'm having a hard time finding "Zest Tea" lately so this will be my replacement for now.
