Hey spike, you’re scarin my wife
Spike Shooter Quila Lime
Spike fits in the category of serious hardcore energy drinks. This is not a drink for your teens and soccer moms. This is serious stuff. It’s right up my alley. By the way does anyone ever get my review titles lol?
Packaging: Spike Shooter Quila Lime comes in an 8.4 oz can. The can is black and starts off with a big warning at the top. Diagonal on the front is the name Spike in a metallic green font as well as a lightning bolt lime green graphic. It tells you also that it is lightly carbonated and you should serve it chilled. It also tells you its “hardcore energy” has no calories, no carbs, and no sugar. The back has supplement facts. I give them a grade of B for packaging. It does a great job of letting you know this is a serious energy drink.
Slogan: “Get Spiked” pretty good and it works well with the image. I’ll give them a B for slogan
Taste: Popping the top I get a rich lime scent but then it has a musty organic type smell that is a little of putting. I pour some in a cup and it comes out a deep green/yellow lightly carbonated liquid. I take a sip and it a very limey flavor with a heavy artificial sweetness. It’s not bad but it is very syrupy and artificial. I think I prefer the original Spike shooter flavor and I can’t get my hands on the orange gold flavor. I will give them a grade of C- for taste.
Kick/Ingredients: Ok so I am at work for 12 hours and up since 4am. I want to work out when I get home so an hour before I leave I drink down the whole can of Spike Shooter Quila lime. In 10 or 15 minutes I realize I maybe should have waited. I slammed with massive energy and it’s like in the movie “Crank” where he jams a needle of epinephrine. Lucky for me I don’t hurt myself and I drive home quickly. I got in a workout and I was finished in record time. I was afraid I would not be able to sleep later. I was seriously Spike for 5 or so hours and really had no crash. Spike is powered by 300mg of caffeine, Yohimbine, N Acetyl-L Tyrosine, and 25000% of your dv of B12. No calories and No Sugar. Grade A+ for kick
Web Presence: Spike Shooter falls flat with their site at spikeshooter.com. It is very out of date(2006) but does have some info. They need to work on this for sure. Grade D for web presence
Recap:
All I can say is keep this away from women, children, and the elderly. This is not for the weak hearted for sure. You might want to consider splitting it with someone or only drinking half. Unless of course you are an Edjunkie like me.
