A dash of professionalism & a pinch of personality

A blend of my professional life and my personal life. Social Media, Whiskey, Marketing, Art, Management, Comic Books, and everything else that is... me. :)

  • The Great Energy Shot Experiment: Day 12 - AMP Energy Shot

    Amp Energy Shot

    The last thing I wanted this morning was a punch in the mouth, but I guess Pepsico, Inc felt differently. They felt like anyone who dared drink their Jakfruit Citrus Vitamin Supplement deserved a good hearty punch in the mouth

    Taste
    Have you ever painted the interior of a house? The aftertaste of this shot reminded me of painting a house. That can’t be good for you. I’m pretty sure AMP and Sherwin-Williams share a factory after tasting this crap.

    Feel
    Meh, this one is alright. I don’t feel a whole lot better than when I woke up, but it’s definitely helping keep me awake without wanting to go on a murderous rampage or anything. So i guess that’s something

    Test
    2 pieces left in hand when time expired. So much for the “Fast, Powerful Energy When You Need It”… actually that doesn’t make any sense. I needed more mental than physical so forget I said that… moving on then.

    What the hell? Seriously, am I the only on who can’t find the vitamins in this vitamin supplement (aside from the Citric Acid which might have some vitamin c in it)?

    “Treated” water… what is that crap. Not purified, not filtered, but treated. So basically I’m drinking sewer water they added more chemicals to make it “safe”. So aside from deadly sounding concoction listed there are other chemicals in the water too?

    There are ingredients in here that have not been in any of the othes, and won’t be in any of the rest (I know I looked). Sodium Hexametaphosphate sounds like a burning salty witch based curse not a preservative. No wonder their sodium content is double the runners up, they have 3 salt based preservatives in here (look for the word sodium). You know Pepsico, you should really leave them out, I’ve tasted this abomination and the flavor isn’t worth protecting.

    Way to friggin’ go Pepsico, you can’t even make an energy shot without making it the highest in calories, sugar, sodium, and crap… I feel sick.
