Chargers Chocolate Espresso Beans
Hey CG readers! Check me out on Twitter and MySpace and make me feel loved! :P The Facebook page is coming too soon, and I'm still working on updating the Twitter and MySpace
I just realized how much I love chocolate covered espresso beans. I like them A LOT. Today we’ll check out Chargers chocolate espresso beans. Chargers come in a clever battery shaped tin that’s black and red in color and reads “Get Charged.” The tin is pretty small, about 2 inches tall, and has a pop off cap. Inside of Chargers’ tin are about 8 little red chocolate espresso beans, it seems like there’s not a lot, but they pack quite a punch, about 200-240mg of caffeine!
Like I just said, these things taste great! They’re like those bosten baked bean candies (the peanuts, you know what I’m talking about), but they’re even better because they’re caffeinated and taste like, well, coffee! The beans have a slight candy taste and are a bit chocolatey too. More so, however, they taste like coffee beans. Some of the products our there taste more like chocolate or candy than coffee, but Chargers’ beans have a coffee flavor that overpowers the chocolate, in a good way.
If you want to try these babies out for yourself, you can buy them online here for as little as $1.69.

Amp Energy with Black Tea: Rebuild
Well, it’s 92° in Cleveland right now and I need something to cool off. The most refreshing looking thing in the mini-fridge right now is Amp Energy: Rebuild, one of Amp’s energy drinks that’s been infused with black tea and a hint of lemon. Rebuild comes in a gold and brown oriental looking can, and has what appears to be a dragon on the front, in addition to the Amp logo. Additionally, the can boasts “intense hits of black tea and lemon.”
Let’s open this puppy up, it smells like, well, it smells like black tea, what else? Amp Rebuild also has a great taste. I was surprised that its carbonated, I assumed that the drink, being black tea based, wouldn’t be carbonated, but it is. This gives it an interesting taste. Rebuild also has a nice hint of lemon, as the can suggests, and it’s extremely smooth and refreshing. It also seems to have a slight hint of ginseng, and the ingredients confirm this.
Each 200 calorie can of Amp with Black Tea contains 180mg of caffeine, some Vitamin B, 296mg of taurine, 248mg of guarana, and 34mg of ginseng. Amp Rebuild delivers a nice boost of great tasting energy. It’s a great drink, and it’s perfect for a hot day like today!
Shock-A-Lots
If Mars, Inc wanted to start bringing in the cash, they’d follow Shock Coffee’s footsteps and make coffee bean M&Ms. That’s what Shock-A-Lots: Chocolate Covered Coffee Bean Candy reminds me of – peanut M&Ms that have had the peanuts replaced with coffee beans. If you’re like me and you like chocolate covered coffee/espresso beans, you’ll love Shock-A-Lots! Even if you don’t like chocolate covered coffee beans, you’ll still love this confection.
Shock-A-Lots come in a bag of 12-16 coffee beans that are covered in chocolate and a delicious hard candy shell, I tried one at first, and then proceeded to pour the rest of the bag’s contents into my mouth. They’re THAT good. These little candied beans offer a new twist on the classic chocolate covered coffee beans, and delivers a nice kick of energy. The packaging states that each serving (one bag, 12-16 beans) contains the equivalent of 2+ cups of coffee. From that, I’m guessing somewhere between 200-240mg of caffeine, which is more than your average energy drink.
If you want some of these fellows for yourself ChemicalEvolution has bags for $1.69-1.99 and you can buy a box (12 bags) straight from Shock Coffee too.
Ávitāe Energy Water
A lot of people consider water to be essential for life. Well, I consider caffeine to be an essential substance as well, so I’m set with Ávitāe energy water. That’s right folks, it’s just water and caffeine; no flavors, no additives (besides caffeine), just water (and caffeine). Each bottle of Ávitāe comes with half a liter of water and 45 mg of caffeine, which is about the same amount of caffeine in a soda. It’s a great concept really, it’s great for athletes, there’s no sugar to crash from, it won’t cause cramping, and it hydrates well too. It’s like the ultimate sports drink!
Ávitāe comes in a triangular, cylindrical shaped bottle and the bottle diffuses from gray to clear. The bottle displays the name of product and the world “vitality” appears in yellow over the “v”. It’s a really simplistic design, so there’s not that much to say about the bottle.
As for the actual product, Ávitāe tastes likes, well, it’s water. It has the kick of a cola, but doesn’t taste like anything, so it’s just water with a kick. Ávitāe is a really simple product, no gimmicks, no additives, just water with some caffeine. If you want to learn more about Ávitāe, you can head over to their site.

Loud Truck Energy Gummies
Well, what do we have here? The generous folks at Chemical Evolution sent us some awesome products to review, and, well, we plan to review them! The products in the limelight today are Loud Truck Gummies; two different flavors of caffeinated, fruity, gummies!
The first of the two varieties are the citrus blast gummies. The bag is white and orange, features a green dragon, and boasts both no-crash energy and U.S.A pride. Each bag of the citrus blast gummies comes with 9 (the bag claims 9, but I lucked out and got 10!) energy packed gummi bears. Yep, that’s right, they’re gummi bears! One bag contains 32mg of caffeine, 36mg of taurine, 220mg of Vitamin C, and 60 calories. For a pack of 9 (or 10) gummi bears, that’s not bad! Upon opening the bag, there’s a great orangey, citrusy smell. As for the taste, the gummies have a great taste, there’s a hint of orange – they’re not overly powered, and they’re not bitter either. I like these a lot, and for 99 cents, it’s not a bad deal either.
The second bag contains the red blast variety, the stronger, cherry flavored variety of the two. This variety boasts twice the kick – 64mg of caffeine, 72mg of taurine, and 450mg of Vitamin C. The great part is that these are only 99 cents as well, twice the kick for the same price. These are just as good as the other variety, they have a mild cherry taste, and a great cherry aroma as well.
This is a great product, they’re caffeinated gummi bears, what’s not to love? If you want to try them out you can get the citrus blast ones here, or the red blast here.
Mtn Dew: Game Fuel
Mountain Dew is back again with a new promotion and two new flavors. Introducing: Mtn Dew Game Fuel, two varieties featuring 121mg of caffeine and World of Warcraft in an attempt to win gamers’ hearts over. The bottles even display a link on the lower left for a free trial of WoW and a chance to win some nifty prizes! While I currently consider myself to be a recovering WoW addict, that doesn’t change the fact that these new products from Mountain Dew are pretty darn good.
The first of the two varieties is blue in color and features a Night Elf from Warcraft on the bottle. The bottle features a “World of Warcraft” branding, and a “Game Fuel” banner under the usual “Mtn Dew” banner. This variety claims to come with a “punch of wild fruit flavor,” which is extremely vague, but my not so vague taste buds tell me it’s raspberry. It’s a great, smooth taste, but it also seems a little familiar. I can’t be absolutely sure, but it reminds me of Revolution. I’ll be sure to compare them if I can find any Revolution, and if any of the readers can, feel free to let me know if they’re similar – or same – in taste.
The second of the two new Dews features an Orc and has a reddish-orange hue to it. It, like the other one, features a World of Warcraft branding and the “game fuel” tag. This product, however, comes with a “blast of citrus cherry flavor” and also seems to be familiar – like SuprNova. Either way, this flavor tastes fantastic as well.
To be honest, I can’t tell for sure, I want to say these two are Revolution and SuprNova reincarnated. If any of you readers have any SuprNova or Revolution stashed away, feel free to compare the two to Game Fuel, and drop us a line on whether or not they’re the same!
