Simple enough. I'm curious to see how many people actually use this product and what their basic feeling for it is. Personally, I think it tastes like shit. I have to strain myself not to puke it all up when I down it. Gives me no energy either. I'd be better off drinking soda for all the good this crap does. Hell, the smell of the drink itself is enough to wake me up. Worst energy product in my opinion. What about ya'll? Feel free to discuss.
Poll: I think that "5 Hour Energy"...

it doesn't work as well as espresso. and for the same (sometimes cheaper) cost i'd rather have a mocha.
I know a few people that use this product. Upon asking them, the answer is simple.
Energy drinks (Monster, Red Bull, etc) taste like shit. Period. And soda's are fattening, and, in some places, inappropriate to carry around.
5 Hour energy fits in your pocket, is easy to drink (Even if it taste like shit, hell, its one gulp and thats it), and it does work (Perhaps not as well as the alternatives).
Also, most people that use it don;t use to get 'wired,' they use it for just a little boost. Getting wired is what caffeine overload is for.
Oh, and one of my NCOs uses the bottle as a spit can. Much cleaner than carrying around a large, clear bottle.

I usually drink coffee. If I drink an energy drink, it's usually the coffee flavoured ones, or red bull for Jagerbombs or with Vodka.
I have never tried 5 hour energy shots. They look sketchy. I don't like drinking energy drinks much anymore since they're very unhealthy, both caloriewise and chemically.

I drink it when I got to do long musical performances or long tests.
Tastes, like crap, but it does what it's supposed to do.
5hour isn't supposed to wake you up, if you want a wake-up drink, go buy an energy drink. 5hour is supposed to ward of fatigue/keep you alert. The ingrediants are mostly B vitamins, which keep you alert, certain types of acids which ward off fatigue/to a very small extent wake you up. and some other crud in it.
Thing is, the energy mix really doesn't help much if you drink a lot of soda, or drink energy drinks. Because your body will be used to the caffeine content, and will be immune, same general thing with the b-vitamin amount.
EDIT: And really the caffeine equivalance is that of a cup of medium roast coffee...

My feeling is that if our society sucks so fucking much that people have to use crap like this just to make it through their day, then we need to do some serious re-evaluations of how we live our lives.
I've never heard of this drink... as for energy drinks my personal preference is Relentless.
I like the can too...

I think it tastes like vomit, and it doesn't work at all for me. I stick with coffee. Thing I don't get about it is the "no crash later" nonsense. That doesn't make sense. You have to crash at some point. Otherwise chugging the stuff would keep you awake indefinitely, and obviously that doesn't work.
I think all energy drinks are garbage and the fact that my older brother chugs them down worries me. Monster is horrifying.

I drink energy drinks fairly often ... one a week but never more than one a day type of thing.
I haven't tried 5hr Energy, but I'm saddened that my walmart no longer carries 4 packs of nos.
From least to most effective: Full Throttle, Rockstar, Monster, Nos, Spike.
There are plenty of others that I've tried, but those are the most readily available to me.

On topic. Never even heard of it.
I do drink copious amounts of energy drinks though, I like the flavours and they all seem to be packed with vitamins.
Wait, an orgasm in a bottle? Wouldn't that be messy?Haseo21 said:Ima stickin with Venom

I always felt that energy drinks did nothing for me.
