Had some, highly recommended with alcohol. It's like liquid Ritalin.

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.

Laughing

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.
