Oh, Five Hour Energy, how I love thee. The way you pick me up almost instantly, without drinking a ton of calories, and without that jittery, weird feeling I get from other types of energy drinks or stimulants. I will say, that I only drink about a half a bottle of it at a time, and that seems to give me plenty of a pick me up to get me through the next several hours of my day.
Not only does it just “get me through my day”, but it also puts an extra kick in my step, and seems to light a fire under my butt to actually get motivated and start working. For example, the last time I drank a half a bottle of this stuff, I ended up cleaning out our referigerator. I NEVER do that without an extreme reason why I’m doing it, like say having company over or something like that.
Not only did I just clean the fridge out, but I also cleaned it out with an intensity and quickness that I don’t normally have – esepcially when doing unsexy, boring things like cleaning out a storage place for food! Five Hour Energy is a small bottle that contains a concentrated energy drink in it. It is 2 fl. oz, to be exact. It has a slightly metallic taste to it, like many other energy drinks do, I suspect that is from the taurine content,
but I’m not sure.
The only flavor I will drink is the mixed berry flavor. There is also a citrus flavor, but it tastes absolutely unpalatable to my senses, so I stick with only the berry one. The berry flavor is no prize winner taste wise either, but it beats the lemon lime one by far in my book.
Five Hour Energy’s whole schtick is that it is a tiny little bottle that you can take around in your purse or on your person without worrying about it, and what it really promises is an energy boost that lasts, and also doesn’t kick you in the pants with that typical energy let down when it’s warn off. I did notice this with other energy drinks, I’d suddenly feel totally deflated when they wore off, worse than before I drank them, and this sudden total loss of energy made the burst not worth it. Five Hour Energy really does not do that to me, anyways.
