The King of the Energy Shot - Mr. Energy 8 Hour Energy Shot or 5 Hour Energy?
In an age when people will go the distance if it means they'll spend less on gas, there is a booming new
energy drink category that sells for twenty times more than Coca-Cola - energy shots.
An increasing amount of people are dropping their $3 cups of coffee, and picking up $3 2 ounce shots of
solid caffeine - and most of them taste disgusting.
The energy shot market is expected to double 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.
Several companies are already following in 5 Hour's footsteps - products like 6 Hour Power, Fuel 7 Hour
Energy, and Mr. Energy 8 Hour Energy are all competing to tap into the energy shot world.
The Mr. Energy 8 Hour Energy Shot, though it sounds similar, has raised the bar for the industry. In
addition to caffeine, it includes Acai, Gogi, and Tahitian Noni - three popular berries known for their
dietary and energizing properties. These berries are normally only available at high-end health stores at
upwards of $40 a bottle!
In addition to its improved ingredients, The Mr Energy 8 Hour Energy shot is carb and calorie free - and it
tastes delicious.
"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 10 top
fitness trainers in the world.
In a blind test conducted at the University of Florida, 9 out of 10 students preferred the 8 Hour shot over
5 Hour Energy. Other groups were given samples of the Mr Energy 8 Hour Energy shot, and returned
with overwhelmingly positive 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 5 Hour Energy's 60 million dollar advertising budget, Bhelliom Enterprises, the creator of 8 Hour
Energy, is confident that their product is superior. "The ingredients speak for themselves," says CEO of
Bhelliom Enterprises, Casey McCarthy.
