NOS

-
If you ever wondered why I review energy drinks, you are not alone in that wonderment. The truth is that I was given the quest to review energy drinks by the ghost of the Blind Hobo King. Why does he want the review? I don't know and I don't care to know - I learned early life that is just best to go with the flow when dealing with a madman whose grip on sanity is as tenuous as his grip on personal hygiene.

So this is NOS. It is a beverage that was manufactured by a company that made automotive parts; then it was sold to Coca Cola; finally, it was sold to Monster.

Throughout those ownership transfers it is nice to see that two things have remained consistent: the beverage is still the lesser "Monster" that nobody cares about; and, the drink still tastes like a combination of various automotive fluids and lubricants.
  • Location Purchased: Gas Station
  • Price when Purchased: $3.59 Leafbacks
Taste: Have you ever heard of an animal licking engine coolant off of the ground? Yeah, well I've done it and it was better than this, even counting the sand and sawdust that was stuck in my teeth. That being said, this is okay too.

Energy: 160mg standard.  

Bottom Line: It is cheaper than engine coolant, but I don't know if I would pour it in my car. Maybe it can get you through your COVID19 quarantine.

3/5 - I mean, drink what you want

Power Malt: Extra Energy

-
Image
I have become a new person, a new being; behold, I am purest light. There is a new sun on the horizon: a star of brilliant, destructive energy that is a threat to all life - I am that star . My entire existence has changed. At first it was just another routine murder by me and the other homeless people at the camp; but after we killed the African man, his treasure proved to be my savior, my genesis. Here is the bottle - 330 ml. Location Purchased:  probably in an Caribbean grocery store somewhere. Price when Purchased:  apparently 0.99 Canadian. Taste:   This tastes like a slightly hopped malt beverage. Imagine something like Malteasers , if you have never had a malt drink before. Watch this video - it's pretty awesome. Energy:  This didn't provide energy in the traditional sense so much as it changed my body into a rapidly burning plume of electric flame. After consuming this potent elixir, my body rapidly broke down into an ash...

Reign Energy Razzle Berry

Now appearing in the Canadian Market: Reign Energy, here's the Razzle Berry flavour. Hello wanderer, I mean you no harm, I too am a lone traveler in the vast fields of perdition that extend forever beyond the horizon. Long have I hidden myself in cave-complex hermitage where I have hoped to outlast the great plague, but now that I have come back to the surface, I see that there will never be respite from our damnation, only brief glimpses of paradise through the consumption of forbidden elixirs. This particular elixir , from the lands to the South, has undergone a formulation change to appease our cautious council of elders . Part of that formulation change is a significant reduction in potency - whereas the Eagle-Men are able to consume 300mg of caffeine, those of the Beaver-People are restricted to a mere 180mg of caffeine - such is the way of this land. The inverse side of the can, with its various selling features.  It is said that this series of admixtures was developed to co...

THE EXPERIENCE IS JARRING

Here is the next step in absolute diabolism. Here is the can - 444 ml 4 symbolizes death in Chinese numerology and after drinking this I wish I was dead.  Location Purchased:  A thinly disguised version of Hell. Price when Purchased:  Likely an eternity in suffering. Taste:   Well, now that I have crossed the threshold and entered into a partial reality that exists between livable dimensions, all concept of taste is gone. At times I have synesthesia and others I experience all tastes at once, coming in brutal waves that leave my body a hollow, tortured shell. I have since tried to eat and drink other things, but my body rejects everything categorically, everything except ROCKSTAR: Roasted - Mocha...  Like some kind of addict I keep buying and drinking this, I simultaneously crave it and hate it - the intense emotions and physical effects that this has on my body feel as if they are killing me, faster rather than slower, but even if I am...
