[Energy Drink Review] G Pure Energy: Lulo Lime (Zero Calories)

gpurelulolimeOverview:

Some of the greatest things you’ll ever do in your life are natural. Nudity is the first thing that comes to my mind, but some people think that having a natural and healthy diet and lifestyle can be the most rewarding thing out there. They’ve obviously never ran through the public park naked.

So for those of you who are afraid to tear off your boxers and show off what your momma (or God, depending on your religious views) gave you, there are drinks like G Pure Energy, a zero calorie energy drink that is formulated to give you a kick in the pants (unless you don’t wear pants, like myself) without the diabetes.

Can G Pure Energy: Lulo Lime really feel more natural than nudity? No, but at least it won’t get you arrested. Continue reading

[Energy Drink Review] Guru Juicy: Tangerine

gurujuicytangerineOverview:

I’ve had some pretty bad experiences with organic energy drinks. I’ve also had some very bearable experiences with organic energy drinks. I can’t honestly say, sadly, that I’ve ever had a good or enjoyable experience with an organic energy drink.

So given my past experiences with organic drinks I was approaching this beverage expecting the worst but hoping for something that wouldn’t suck. Honestly, my expectations for Guru were much higher than with any other organic drink I’ve had thanks to the brand’s reputation for making decent drinks.

It’s review time! Continue reading

[Concert Review] Saturday at Lollapalooza

lollapalooza2009_largeI have been to some concerts in my day, but none of those one-night shows compare to the feeling of wandering through downtown Chicago on Saturday afternoon through the evening and well into the night just soaking up all the great music that was being played in Grant Park.

There were so many bands playing Saturday that I wanted to see, and to see some just wasn’t feasible, either by a time standard or physically. My entire day was set around seeing Tool live, headlining the Chicago 2016 stage that night. The afternoon was filled with purposeful wandering as I tried to ingest the most music for my dollar. I’ve decided to review the show with some categories that I feel can describe the day best.

[The Everyview Update] 08/09/09

Here are some highlights from what’s happening at sites on our blog roll.

[Energy Drink Review] Nitrous Monsters

nitrousmonster

Overview:

Monster has been a leader in its industry for as long as I’ve had an interest in energy drinks. They have managed to attain their high status by constantly mastering every new innovation the industry sees. Java Monster, Juice Monster, Monster Hitman–Every time a new form of energy drink comes out, Monster is right there perfecting it and creating top-notch products.

But lately Monster has been the industry’s lead innovator as well. Things started off with Monster Import and its brilliant new resealable can design, an innovation that proved worthy of the hype. And now Monster is introducing Nitrous Monsters, the first energy drinks ever to be nitrogenated.

The hype surrounding this new line of drinks is pretty hot, but does the end product manage to live up to everyone’s expectations?

Straight from the can:

Nitrous Oxide makes your car faster at the Drags, but put in a drink? Call us crazy, but we combined Nitrous Oxide with Carbon Dioxide in a precise ratio and injected it into our potent Monster Energy base. Nitrous Monster has a unique texture, smooth drinkable flavor and buzz that’s bigger than ever.

This is no “Whip-It”, but it will whip you good…

[Energy Drink Review] Nitrous Monster: Anti Gravity

nitrousmonsterantigravityReview:

Anti Gravity has a powerfully fruity aroma that tickles your nostrils and gets your mouth watering in anticipation. The scent is clearly pineapple, possibly with a little mango and citrus undertones, but I’m not sure. The aroma seems very natural, with little chemical help to achieve the lovely pineapple aroma. But while the scent is delicious, it strongly reminds me of several other drinks on the market, primarily Monster’s own M-80. Continue reading

[Energy Drink Review] Nitrous Monster: Killer-B

nitrousmonsterkiller-bReview:

Killer-B is the only flavor of Nitrous Monster with a name that I understand. The can is decorated with a honeycomb design, it’s called Killer-B, it is obviously honey flavored. Knowing this when leaning in to take a first whiff, I was almost taken aback when I actually picked up the aroma. It is absolutely nothing like I had expected. Instead of smelling powerfully sweet and primarily of honey, like I had expected, I was treated to a rather delicious light, aromatic aroma that reminded me of a crisp tea flavored lightly with honey. Very delicious, but definitely not what I was expecting. Continue reading

[Movie News] Brave New World: In Theaters?

brave-new-worldWell, I suppose you could say I’m shooting for a particular theme lately, that being popular books being adapted to screen. I first gave you loyal Everyviewers the trailer for Tucker Max’s “I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell” that is slated for release this September.

I just stumbled upon another book-to-screen adaptation that actually tickles my fancy quite a bit as well, and that is the news of a potential Big Screen Adaptation of Brave New World, the 1932 classic novel by Alduous Huxley.

The project has apparently been on Director/Producer Ridley Scott’s radar for the better part of 2 decades, and it’s strongly rumored that if a script were up to his lofty standards, we could actually see Leonardo DiCaprio himself star in this movie.

Here’s a little bit more information about the potential film:

I hate to admit this, but I am pretty chubbed up just thinking about this. If done right, this could be an EPIC film to go along with a WONDERFUL book.

Now, if I could only get J.D. Salinger to give me the rights to write, direct, and star in The Catcher in the Rye…

[Energy Drink Review] Nitrous Monster: Super Dry

nitrousmonstersuperdryReview:

Popping the cap off of the can of Super Dry, you will be immediately met with an absolutely delicious aroma. And I mean it is fantastic. Perfect. And I’m not kidding. Super Dry is the first product I’ve ever reviewed that scores a perfect 10 in the aroma department. It’s a strong lime scent with a perfect balance between sweet and sour. After opening a can of Super Dry, I literally put my nose inside of the opening to breath for the next several minutes. It is really unbelievably delicious, and I often times buy this flavor just for the scent. Continue reading

[Energy Drink Review] X-Presso Monster: Hammer

xpressomonsterhammerStraight from the Can:

All over Europe they’ve got these cool little coffee shops that serve killer espresso with creamy foam on top. Our madman in R&D figured out how to get that same smooth texture by injecting potent imported espresso with Nitrous Oxide. The we up’d the ante by adding out “tried and true” Monster energy blend.

X-PRESSO MONSTER has a rich creamy texture, imported espresso flavor, and a Monster buzz that just won’t quit. Made in Holland but only available in the USA. What a country…

X-Press yourself!

Nitrous Oxide in an energy coffee? Sounds interesting. Continue reading
