Energy?

My New today was a little disappointing...

I see it every time I go into the gas station; I see all the annoying commercials, so I guess it's time to try it.

5 Hour Energy. You've seen it. It’s the little orange bottle with the running person on it. Now I'm not much for energy drinks at all, I hate the taste and I just think they are so bad for you (but I do like coffee:). But this drink was supposedly different, "healthy" or something. I've always wanted to try it, so I decide to take the plunge. I have been super tired recently; I could use that extra boost for the rest of the day.

I walk next door to the gas station from my work, and I find it where it always is. Next to the register. I got the berry flavor, it was either that or grape or orange, I like a lil mix of everything:) It was $3.06 for that little thing! Geez louis, this thing better be good.

I go back to work and I sit at my front desk. I read the label first before I open it. It says for just some energy drink to only drink half the bottle and for max energy, drink the whole thing. And I should not drink more than two in one day. Like I could afford that anyways...

So I open it and take the first sip. It was weird. It tasted citrusy and bubbly and strong, it made my jaws tingle. I could only take little sips at a time. It was such a little bottle, but it took me a long time to drink it!

And then I wait. And wait. And wait. The bottle said it was supposed to take effect immediately. I still felt tired. Maybe it gave me some energy I didn't realize, but I didn't ever notice.

I give this thing thumbs down.
