5-hour ENERGYShot, Regular Strength, Pomegranate, 1.93 Ounce, 12 Count

The taste isn’t bad, but a little too sweet for me, and I have a sweet tooth. Recently, I got one with a strawberry-kiwi, taste, which I like best.

I love these things. 5 Hour Energy has been my energy supplement of choice for several years now. Although they all taste a little odd, pomegranate is my favorite flavor. If you really don't like the taste, combining with a soft drink or even just a bottle of water will mask things well. Functionally, they are wonderful. I notice less usefulness when taken in the morning, but a great boost for those nights that you know you will need to be awake until 1 or 2...as long as you remember to take one 4 or 5 hours earlier! As usual, Amazon prices beat convenience stores, so I keep a few stashed away (laptop bag, car, work) so they are around when I need them!

I lost 20 pounds with a toddler and full time job. Swamped from my full time job, not wanting to do exercise after dinner, but I take a nice gulp of some of the 5 hr bottle and I’m up on running and exercising! I clean, cook, and pick up after my toddle who’s constantly throwing things and food around. I keep a clean house and I am able to workout after 40+ hours of a stressful job. This product is amazing and it’s only 4 calories! Thank you Lord for this product! So happy with it and if you take it in moderation; you’ll be able to push yourself like never before.

5hr Energy, though probably not a healthy habit, has gotten me through an Executive MBA program with 2 kids and a full-time job.It is a nice alternative to coffee when you can't stomach another cup. It has the following additional advantages:1) Fast acting; I find these to work way faster than espresso or regular coffee.2) Portable; they fit easily in inside pocket of a suit jacket and don't take up space in a bag or suitcase.3) Potent in small volumes; 1 does the trick and lasts not quite 5 hours, but much longer than a cup of coffee.The only con is the taste; no flavor actually tastes 'good' - I find pomegranate and mixed berry most palatable - and all have the bitter taste of caffeine (try chewing a No Doz or a Vivarin if you want to verify)Probably not ideal as a regular habit, but good to have on you if you start fading at an important meeting or need a boost to get through some work that must be done.

On this particular flavor: I find this is the best when chilled or at room temp, with Lemon Lime as a second. I keep these in my desk at home and at work.I've been a fan of 5 Hour Energy for a few years now, and it certainly works. I have noticed there are particular times when the coffee buzz is more preferred than 5 Hour, but basically, I use it like so: Before noon, I'll use coffee. When that afternoon/post lunch slump comes on, this is the perfect time for HALF of a 5 hour energy. It's enough to keep you awake. If you really need to get up and go, drink half, and then an hour later, drink the other half. Of course, YMMV, but I've converted a few of my co-workers to using this method.

Pomegranate is the best tasting out of the Five-Hour Energy drinks. I have been drinking these for quite some time now. I only consume approx. half of a bottle and save the rest for later. I enjoy consuming these during work or before an early morning workout when I may need that extra boost. No GI side effects, no jitters, no headache. I have not experienced not one adverse side effect. The bottle states that it is equivalent to one cup of coffee, but one cup of coffee would not produce the same amount of clear, pure energy that this drink provides. Also, no sugar, which is a plus! Highly recommended.

Having just purchased my next 12-pack of the "5-hour ENERGY" shots [Hours of energy now~No crash later] from Amazon.com, I can say with great certainty, that for less than $1.65/shot, I receive at least 4.5 hours of continuous energy, which enables me to begin and finish any project that I set my mind to. I'm always in a more 'chirpy and contented' mood, and this supplement never leaves me jangled, jittery, or crashing, the way most caffeine-laced products do--no running to the bathroom for frequent potty-breaks, either. I'm so very pleased that they created this product (just for folks like me)! Try some for yourself soon, and see what you've been missing.

I used to head to my local gas station and purchase the individual bottles at almost 3 bucks a piece. A friend told me that she buys them off amazon and they come out to half price! You can't beat that! I only like to drink energy shots when I am in NEED of a quick pick me up. I dislike having to take red bull, monster and all those drinks because of their size and high sugar content. I like the 5 hour drink because at 2 ounces and 4 calories, and no sugar, I can easily and conveniently throw it back and get on with my agenda. However, it does NOT last 5 hours, not for me at least. I drink it 20 minutes before an activity and I can get through it just fine, but maybe 2 hours or so tops. I'm satisfied with it, because that's normally all I need.
