Is that the name of it? Is it new? Can I get it at a 7-11? |

If it's the one I'm thinking of, then yes, 7-11 / Family Mart, etc. It's a small bottle (like.. the height of a tall shot glass) with a yellow and red design on the label. |

It's called 5 Hour Energy, I thought the title of the post was pretty clear about that... |

The title in no way implies that "5 hour energy" is the name of the drink, it looks more like a statement about the drink's efficacy.
Unless someone had seen the product beforehand, they would have no idea. |

I had this drink in the states before i came over here. There was a huge ad campaign going on before i left. They advertise that it gives you the energy of coffee, but without all the sugar and without the "crash". It worked ok..but nothing amazing.
ps. i haven't noticed them being sold here yet..? |

According to the bottle it has as much caffeine as 1 cup of coffee, 8333% of your daily recommended B12, 2000% of your daily recommended B6, taurine and some amino acids. |

seems just like another energy drink being marketed as the new energy source! how many energy drinks are out back home!!??
COUNTLESS!!!!
I doubt very much this drink will take off here, or even get national distribution, if they have managed to , thats reappy surprising seeing that REDBULL never got allowed to sell their product here..
the government doesn't want those foreign brands taking over from local brands like baccus , grandprix, condition f and those other hanyak based drinks!
I heard Redbull can't be sold here... only in the foreign stores and then its like 4000 won a can... |

I can't believe how many energy drinks there are in America now. The number must have trippled since I was home last (15 months ago) |

Maybe it is a placebo, but the stuff is great. |
