00:00People of the Internet, I am Richard, this is my channel and I have to try for you

00:04a Watermelon 5-Hour Energy. Yes, this is a Watermelon 5-Hour Energy

00:18extra-strength energy drink, not a shot, and one of the things you should be

00:25aware of before even opening a can of this is that it has more than 20,000

00:31percent of your daily value of vitamin B12. I don't know how safe that is, that

00:40is why I drink these very rarely. I have some of them that I purchased, I didn't

00:45read the label first, so, helicopter, so now I have them and I'm not going to

00:53throw them out, because I drank one before I read the label and I was fine,

00:57but I do have to recommend that, one, you don't drink these on an empty stomach,

01:01and two, that you drink them very rarely because high levels of certain

01:07nutrients can be toxic.

01:11Mmm, chemically watermelon. I don't know why these things have to be zero sugar,

01:33the energy shots I understand, but, you know, the artificial sweeteners do not

01:42help the flavor of this, they make them very artificial tasting, and, you know, you

01:53could tell this is supposed to be a watermelon flavor, it's obviously not a

01:57natural watermelon flavor, it's a chemical. I don't know if this is tinted,

02:04it could be taking color from something else in the room, but, yeah, I mean, look,

02:10these things, they're a sledgehammer measure to wake you up. I've just

02:15woken up myself and I'm suffering from depression, so that's why I grabbed one

02:23of these. I figured, you know, this is the time, I have to use them up at some

02:27point. I don't recommend energy drinks in general, I remember, recommend a healthy

02:33diet and good old-fashioned caffeine because caffeine is a little easier to

02:37regulate, but then do understand that caffeine is addictive and you

02:41eventually build up a tolerance to it.

02:53Mmm, yeah, I mean, the flavor is initially very strong and then you, it fades off a

03:04little bit. It's mostly an aftertaste. The smell isn't unpleasant, although you can

03:13tell it's a very chemical, watermelon-esque smell to it. This says 250%

03:25of your daily intake of niacin, so it can cause what is called a niacin flush,

03:30which is, you feel this burning sensation on your skin. I've never experienced that

03:35with this, but it could happen. I mean, again, I consider these to be probably the

03:45most dangerous energy drink I have ever consumed at this volume. Okay, there have

03:51been energy drinks that I've purchased that were much larger and those are much

03:56more dangerous because they are much larger and there are a lot more caffeine

03:59in them. Caffeine can really overclock your heart. So, yeah, you know, it's just

04:09one of those things that, before consuming this, I made sure to eat

04:15something oily so that it would coat the interior of my stomach and, you know,

04:22prevent me from having too much in my system at once. Hopefully it'll spread it

04:33out a little bit. And I mean, you know, the human body is designed to consume a

04:46very wide range of things. You know, there is a man that essentially committed

04:56or accidental death because he consumed too much beta-carotene. He ate carrot

05:05smoothies every day. He took beta-carotene supplements and even his

05:11doctor said, look, you're gonna kill yourself. Stop with the beta-carotene and

05:16he wouldn't do it. He was obsessive-compulsive about having a high

05:19amount of beta-carotene. So, I don't know what the effects of an overdose of

05:28vitamin B12 are. I could, I should probably look it up having, I think I've

05:34got at least three more of these to go through, two flavors maybe, maybe even

05:39more. I don't know. I mean, I tend to drink these maybe twice a month now, but

05:47then I drink other energy drinks. So, like, this one has, um...

05:59Hmm.

06:03I don't think this one even has B12 listed.

06:09Hmm.

06:27No, it doesn't. It has B6.

06:33So, not all energy drinks even contain B.

06:38There's no legal definition of an energy drink. I mean, you know, some people say

06:44that Coca-Cola at one point was an energy drink and, yeah, you know, it has

06:49caffeine in it. It gives you energy. That's the primary ingredient, but, you know...

06:57Whereas I'm going to say that this is a product that will definitely put a

07:05spring in your step. It's also something that you shouldn't drink if

07:09you're sensitive to caffeine. And, like, anything with a high vitamin

07:15profile like this does, you need to drink it in moderation. I mean, it's not bad

07:19tasting. I don't care for... I don't care for sugar-free things in general, so

07:37these kind of zero sugar drinks don't appeal to me. So, from a taste

07:42standpoint, this is exactly where it should be. It's something that doesn't

07:48make me sick, doesn't make me want to push it away, but it's something that I,

07:52you know, it's a take-it-or-leave-it kind of a flavor. This is not enjoyable. It's

07:57just there, okay? I honestly would prefer if these things had no taste whatsoever

08:03and, you know, you just knew you were drinking something that wasn't water

08:07because that would make them more safe. But this is a taste profile which is

08:11where it should be. It's not particularly good. It's not particularly bad. It's

08:16something you can take or leave. I'm gonna make the statement that if you

08:20went out and bought these things, you would not be sitting there going, you

08:23know, oh gee, I'd like some more of those. You know, this is a dangerous level

08:33energy drink from what I'm reading. I've never had any ill effects from it. I want

08:37to make that clear. I mean, it's waking me up. I can feel more energetic. I can

08:42feel, you know, it's working very fast. It's very powerful. But again, just one

08:48of the things that you should be aware of is this is the kind of thing that you

08:52really, really need to drink in moderation. So anyway, that's my take on

09:00the matter. I would love to hear yours down in the comments below. I, of course,

09:04am Richard. Greetings, humanity. Once again, Fred the Facehugger here, reminding you

09:09to comment, like, and subscribe. And of course, you should do that because if you

09:14look, I am wearing two bracelets. These bracelets are from 4ocean, a company

09:19that pulls a pound of trash out of the ocean every time somebody buys something

09:23from them. Well, the owner of this channel has pledged to buy one bracelet for

09:27every thousand subscribers, and it's a very, very dirty ocean that you dirtied.

09:33So you should help him out and comment, like, and subscribe, therefore having him

09:40more subscribers so that he can buy more bracelets and clean that ocean. Or, um,

09:47yeah, I could fulfill my life cycle and hug your face. Don't you want a hug?

09:52Come over here. I want to give you a hug. I want to give you a hug right now. Yes.

09:57Yes, come over here, polluting human. Let me give you a hug.
