The King of Energy Shots - Mr. Energy 8 Hour Energy Shot or 5 Hour Energy Shot?
In a time where Americans will drive the extra mile to save a few pennies on fuel, there's a flourishing
new type of energy drink that costs 20 times as much per ounce as Coca Cola - energy shots.
More and more people are turning away from $3 cups of coffee, and picking up these $3 2-ounce energy
shots - and most of them taste horrible.
The market for energy shots is expected to increase by 100% this year, to 700 million in sales - and it's
dominated by Living Essentials' 5 Hour Energy shot, as they were the first on the market.
Other companies have sprung up, in an attempt to capture some of this new energy drink market -
energy shots such as 6 Hour Power, Fuel 7 Hour, and 8 Hour Energy are all attempting to tap into this
new industry.
The Mr. Energy 8 Hour Energy Shot, though it sounds similar, has raised the bar for the industry. Aside
from caffeine, it includes Acai, Gogi, and Tahitian Noni - three popular berries known for their dietary
and energizing properties. Currently, the only other way to get a serving of Acai berry is to purchase a
$40 bottle.
On top of everything, 8 Hour Energy contains no calories or carbs, and it tastes great!
"I've seen the 5 Hour ads plastered all over the media. But if people read the labels before they buy, I
think they'll go for 8 Hour Energy. It's just a better quality product," says Darin Steen, one of the top
ranked health and fitness instructors in the world.
In a blind taste test of college students at the University of Florida, 9 out of 10 preferred the taste of 8
Hour over any other energy shot. Other test-groups were given free samples of the Mr Energy 8 Hour
Energy shot, and returned with rave reviews.
"Wow... after taking the 8 Hour Energy, not only was I able to stay up to study for finals, I picked up a
basketball game after! Without it, I probably wouldn't have managed to do either," laughed Troy Smith,
a senior majoring in Finance.
"8 Hour Energy shots are amazing. I stayed energized and focused, and totally aced my final. It's like
time in a bottle," said Stephanie Wilcox - a student at the UF College of Dentistry.
Despite the massive 60 million dollar advertising budget of 5 Hour Energy, Bhelliom Enterprises, the
developer of 8 Hour Energy, is confident their product will succeed due simply to its superior
ingredients. "The ingredients speak for themselves," says Casey McCarthy, CEO of Bhelliom Enterprises.
