It's extreme!

In case you missed it, your friend and mine "Blackout Boy" left this comment here yesterday.

From the front lines of the random energy drink search comes good news. I was blessed with sugary goodness that is PimpJuice. It apparently works because later in the night I got some dome on the metro. It was sketchy at best.

BoB raises an interesting point. That of random energy drinks. Apparently there are a wide variety of energy drinks in different areas of the country. This becomes particularly apparent when frequenting various rest stops and subway stations, possibly in search of "dome" as BoB so aptly calls it.

Now I myself am not the biggest fan of energy drinks. Sure I'll drink a jager bomb on occasion; and I drank red bulls aplenty while working as a traveling snow globe salesman in Wisconsin for two weeks in 2004 (this is true). But I'd rather just have a cup of coffee -- you get the quick pick-me-up without the inevitable Type 2 diabetes. Or the dying.

But that doesn't stop me from enjoying some of the hilariously absurd marketing concepts that have been trotted out to sell this caffeinated sugar water. So with all apologies to this, lets look at a few of the crazy energy drinks that we've seen.

The Freek
Never mind the intentional misspelling, this is the only energy drink that promotes foot fetishes right on the can. Also, mad scientists brew it with "evil energy" according to the drinks myspace page: When you open a can of Freek you will be holding in your hands the most Evil Energy known to man. Double the danger of mere mortal energy drinks. This bad brew borders on insane! Our mad scientists know no limits. Throw down this ferocious fuel and unchain your inner Freek.

Jimmy Hendrix Liquid Experience
What's next? Imagine Energy brought to you by John Lennon? Don't answer that. Jimi Hendrix fans were none too pleased to hear about his one, obviously.

Big Black Java MonsterA google image search for "big black java monster" is ill-advised. Also, coffee-flavored energy drinks? Really?

Pimp Juice
There is no reason why this shouldn't exist. It's the number one hip-hop energy drink. Sponsored by Nelly and Reuther Offroad. I also like that it's a "premium" energy drink. This can is like bling in your hand. We can only hope this drink means that Booty Juice could someday become reality. "The butt is like society" indeed.


If you have found any other random energy drinks that you think should be added to the canon, let me know in the comments.
