Amp Energy Shot: Jackfruit Citrus

As a follow up to last week, I decided to try out the smaller, shot version of Amp Energy.

I have never been a fan of these shot versions of caffeine drinks. They take away from the enjoyment of drinking an energy drink and compress them into a concentrated, eye-watering experience while still promising the same effects (some even say there is no crash). I have always found it to be all hype and no show. I guess today will put my complaints to the test.

I always pour my energy drinks out of the can or bottle into a clear glass to experience the color and the smells. This drink had something else to offer rather then just sights and smells, the drink was noticeably thicker. That’s right, the liquid was thicker than any other drink I had seen before. you can even see some of the liquid sticking to the side of the glass when you move it around. Creepy.

Since this drink is advertised as a shot, I suppose I’ll take it like a shot. Ready?

I’m not sure what to say. It has a really nasty taste, but then it’s followed by apples. Unfortunately just as quick as the apples arrive, the nasty chemical taste returns.

I can honestly say I did not enjoy that drink, but it was over quick enough. Now it’s time to see if it delivered on alertness.

I don’t feel anything different. My arms feel a bit wobbly, but I don’t think that has anything to do with the drink.

Update: 9:30am. I am still awake. Seems like this drink doesnt give you a boos as much as it just keeps you awake. Not bad if you need extra endurance.

Caffeine: 80mg per 59ml
Taste: 1 out of 5
Buzz: 3 out of 5
Verdict: Tastes like ass, but keeps you going. Might be good if you’re looking for a steady upkeep.

p.s. I’m hungry.
