Caffeine Addict's Hair of the Dog Review

As a de facto standard, anything with "dog" and "hair" in the name is going to be scrumptious. The same is true for "yeast" and "infection". Hair of the Dog really is tasty. It's easily forgettable, but goes down smoothly, and has a pretty mouth-watering flavor. Interestingly, the aftertaste reminded me of V8, even though the initial taste has no hint of tomato, or any vegetable.

Assuming this is to get you sober, perhaps I would have experienced more of a profound affect if I'd been Ted Kennedy drunk before consuming this. Of course, "Hair of the dog" makes me think that maybe this is to get rid of a hangover I got from drinking this drink the night before. I'm confused, what is this drink trying to say? I know I didn't get a lot of energy out of Hair of the Dog, I was looking for the bed of the dog to take a nap, unfortunately it was already inhabited by the dook of the dog, but I just didn't have the energy to clean it up.

At $1.59, it tastes as good as any $1.99 energy soda, but even Stinger pounding Punch packed more of a punch than Hair of the Dog, and sometimes I wonder if Stinger drinks might contain a mild sedative. All-in-all, this tasted good, and didn't cost too much. Perhaps if you're an enormous pansy, this drink would be strong enough for you too. Yes, I'm talking to you, pansy.

Energy Junkie's Hair of the Dog Review

Energy That's Good 4U.
That's the slogan for Hair of the Dog energy drink. I'm not sure why the words 'for you' needed to be shortened, especially since the rest of the can is covered in text. They certainly weren't looking to save money on letters.

Hair of the Dog is a lightly carbonated drink that tastes exactly like blue cotton candy. This stuff is really great to drink. The flavor is light and very enjoyable, but the drink itself seems pretty heavy and syrupy. Much like cotton candy you will most likely feel the need to use a wet nap afterwards from the unexplainable feel of stickiness, just like listening to Marge Simpson will make you feel the need to clear your throat. It doesn't make any sense, but that's just the way it is, much like the name of this drink. I'm not really sure what Hair of the Dog is a reference to, but I like the name. Especially since every version of the words Drink and Energy in combination has probably been trademarked.

It's marketed as a detoxifier, which I assume means its similar to Chaser in the product idea. Great idea, but I don't think antioxidants are very energizing. I was still pretty tired after this. Fortunately the drink still tastes great, so if you are looking for a detox item to take care of your late night you had, this is it. I assume detoxing anyone from a hangover will give energy in itself regardless of caffeine content, so it makes sense that Hair of the Dog is may be more effective in that scenario. Considering it's only $1.59 the product itself is not too shabby. If anything the picture of the dog on the can should give you a quick giggle.
