5 hour energy shot

Yeah, haha. Me too. As an aside, I actually say Picnicface perform a few weeks ago. Bloody good show, and standup guys. My friend and I are pretty chummy with Brian now after talking to him after the show and online, after that (moreso her than myself). We're going to go road trip over to Halifax toward the end of summer to hang out with him, hopefully.


But I've had one of those 5 hours energy drinks before and it thought it worked really well. It was weird when you feel your body get really warm for a bit, but it worked and there was no comedown from it. I still felt fine after.

I tried it, got freaked out by it. I could seriously feel it flowing through my veins. Like, my Veins became self conscious. It was pretty crazy.

WOrked though. next HUGE drive I do, I'm taking one.

what you were feeling is called the flushing effect, the massive amounts of B-12 in unison with the other ingredients increases blood flow which in turn causes that feeling, as it increases the oxygen supply in the blood stream. Some people will actually turn a bright cherry red after taking this product.

it does work, however if you take it on a regular basis it will not be as effective.

I use them from time to time when hey switch my shift and make me work overnight.

Those work far better for me than Redbull/energy drinks.

Very smooth like the other guy said.

At the 7-11s around here they typically have them in different flavors. One of them tasted like a Hornsby's Cider to me.

If i take one when i'm already really sleepy-i get quite loopy, but if i've got a long day-say work followed by a rehearsal, followed by a late gig-they are perfect. Take it in the middle of the rehearsal & i'm good for the night.

That is a Niacin Flush.

I had one, the orange one, it was nasty, but helped me stay awake for a concert (attending, not preforming), school the next morning and band practice after. The orange one tastes like warm orange juice.
