Drink: Big Jones Energy Drink
Official Site: Jones Soda
As a huge fan of Jones Soda, I expected the tastiness the company generally offers in its drinks to transfer to their energy drink offering. Instead, I was greeted by a head-jerkingly bad taste. I could barely down the bitter concoction enough to write the review. No amount of energy could compensate for the nastiness of the drink itself.
Summary: Don't drink unless you want your taste buds burned off.
Final Score: 1 out of 5

Monster M-80 Energy Juice Drink Review
Drink: Monster M-80
Official Site: Monster Energy
Monster M-80 seems to have the same generic flavor of other energy juice blends. Though somewhat sweet with a hint of passion fruit, the classic energy drink aftertaste just drags the whole ensemble down.
Summary: Like every other energy juice I've had.
Final Score: 3 out of 5

Frappio Espresso Latte Energy
Drink: Frappio Energy
Official Site: Frappio- Home
The makers of Frappio obviously didn't believe in adding sugar to their drink. No sweetness can be detected in the espresso latte flavor. I'm quick to admit I'm not a huge fan of coffee. Frappio could likely be very appealing for a segment of the drinking population which wants a different sort of caffeine fix. However, the taste is unlikely to appeal to anyone beside hard-core coffee drinkers.
Summary: Only for those who love their coffee bitter and black.

Cocaine Energy Drink Review
Drink: Cocaine
Official Site: DrinkCocaine.com
Cocaine, the much publicized concoction, is yet another energy drink which relies on its name appeal to attract drinkers rather than providing a decent flavor. The mixture tastes like a combination of strawberry pop mixed with black pepper. Just taking the first swig is nearly unbearable as the hot smell invades your nose. The only redeeming quality is the energy provided. The fire burns a new life within you and somehow managed to clear my sinuses.
Summary: Not the high I expected.
Final Score: 2 out of 5

Clamato Energia Energy Drink Review
Drink: Clamato Energia
Official Site: Clamato
Upon opening Clamato's can, the sickening smell of bouillon cubes floats out in overpowering waves. I should listen to my sense of smell. Clamato's indecript vegetable blend is an intolerable swill. I couldn't even drink enough to rate the energy factor.
Summary: Don't drink unless you love the taste of V8.

Orange County Choppers Energy Drink Review
Drink: Orange County Choppers Energy Drink
Official Site: The Teutels must be trying to disown it since I couldn't find a promotional site.
Banking on its reputation, the show Orange County Choppers now has its only own energy drink. You'll want to wedge your size 12 shoe in the side of the can at the first sip as the unidentifiable mutant flavor hits your tongue. The only slightly redeeming factor is the energy factor, but it cannot compensate for this poor product which rides on its brand name.
Summary: You'll want to speed away from this drink.

Jeff Gordon 24 Energy Drink
Drink: Jeff Gordon 24 Energy Drink
Official Site: Not available
NASCAR's champion, Jeff Gordon, should be proud to have his name attached to such a drink. Though I am typically wary of orange energy drinks, Jeff Gordon 24 zoomed onto my taste buds with a rich orange tangerine flavor. The drink flat-out outraces other non-promotional drinks on the market. With 75 mg of caffeine per serving, there's nothing to hate about Jeff Gordon 24.
Summary: Fuel the red-neck within.

Blox Original Energy Drink Review
Drink: Blox Original
Official Site: InDrinks
In contrast to its tainted orange cousin, Blox original is a surprisingly good after-taste free flavor, though the overall affect is a bit dilute. It is the drink incarnation of a Blue Raspberry Tootsie Roll Pop. The energy factor is good enough for a decent kick.
Summary: The original is always the best.

Blox Orange Rush Energy Drink Review
Drink: Blox Orange Rush
Official Site: InDrinks
As one of my friends said, Blox Orange Rush "smells like pissed out orange juice." The scent is a warning sign for the taste of the liquid inside. The watered down flavor is similar to that of Hansen's Energade with orange rind and stale Alkaseltzer tablets added to the mix (Don't ask me how I know what orange rinds and stale Alkaseltzer tablets taste like...). An oddly grainy taste taints the whole thing. In addition to a bad taste, the drink delivers little energy.
Summary: The only rush you'll want to give this drink is away from it.
Final Score: 2 out of 5
Oh, and thanks for the inspiration Lauren. ~_^
