NOS Grape High Performance Energy

A Fair & Honest Energy Drink Review

NOS Grape High Performance Energy Retail Package Description

NOS Grape High Performance Energy Drink comes in a bright purple can that reminds me of Grape Hubba Bubba. Add the bright yellow text, and it begins to look like Los Angeles Lakers Energy Drink (which is no worse of an idea than Hooters Energy Drink. The rim of the can amusingly lists taurine twice, as if they forgot they'd mentioned it two ingredients before. My name is Jason, my favorite foods are: pizza, nachos, vegetable soup, pizza, and pizza. Seriously, the top says "Taurine + Ginseng + Caffeine + Taurine + L-Carnitine". If I remember my roommate's intro to college Algebra class correctly, you may want to simplify that to (2)Taurine + Ginseng + Caffeine + L-Carnitine. Interestingly, despite over-touting it, this contains the industry standard 1g of tauine per serving. Otherwise, I was impressed that the can lacked some motivational speech about using NOS to fuel your body like a top-fuel dragster. Essentially the only added text is a warning that reads, "CAUTION: POWERFUL". Well, we'll see about that.

Caffeine Addict's NOS Grape High Performance Energy Review

I can imagine the question arising, "Why not review the original NOS? That stuff's been around for years." Admittedly, it's a fine question, I'd have to estimate that I "enjoyed" the original NOS (which I think they touted as "High Octane Energy Fuel", which would in the most technical sense of the term, be false advertising). I actually still have a can of the very original (likely circa 2004) in my collection. Having skirted the issue long enough, here's my answer to your original dumb question, it was so bad, I couldn't write a review for it. I sincerely believed that I had so many bad things to say about the original NOS that someone involved in formulating, producing, packaging, or distributing the contents of that sullied aluminum can might actually kill themselves to appease the enraged masses. So, I took the remaining NOS and tucked them away in a place I thought would be safe, squirreling them away in case I ever had to use them as chemical weapons against those dirty commies, like in Red Dawn. Mmmm Deer Blood Energy Drink, now there's an idea.

Anyway, so there's the exposition, and the prelude to why I approached the NOS Grape High Performance Energy Drink with extreme caution, constantly checking to see if the commies were onto my scheme, and beating me to the punch. I opened the can, and declared immediate and comprehensive redemption to the NOS brand, acquitting them of all crimes against humanity for unleashing the original NOS on unsuspecting 13 year old "Fast and the Furious" fans. This drink tastes awesome, I don't even care that I look like a colossal tool carrying it around (with a taste this good, I won't be carrying it long anyway).

NOS Grape got me pretty jacked up too. I thinking drinking it quickly had a lot to do with the profound affect, but again, it helps when it doesn't taste like Full Throttle Nature is One Bad Mother and you don't have to force it down.

Around $2, this drink offers everything I'd expect at that price, and an excellent taste to boot.

Energy Junkie's NOS Grape High Performance Energy Review

For an energy drink reviewer that goes by the assumed name "The Stig", one might think I know something about cars, or was predisposed to know that NOS had anything to do with cars. With some help from Youtube and Paul Walker, I got the following 41 second crash course in NOS.

Ok, so apparently drinking NOS makes your car go faster. I'm also grateful to know that if I'm not careful, I run the risk of blowing myself up with NOS. It's interesting that the can doesn't even contain the, "Warning contents under pressure may explode" warning. Paul Walker is like the modern day GI Joe. With the battle half fought, I was ready to taste the grape rush, and was I ever impressed. It was awesome, I was refreshed, and the taste was amazing. Thirst quenching and enjoyable, and somehow, my teeth were not even stained obnoxious purple. Fortunately, even with my heavy foot, I did not blow myself up.

With the great taste, I guzzled this beverage down fast. I looked like Takeru Kobayashi. Despite the ferocity with which I drank the NOS, my 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis still topped out at well below 140 mph. I was so pumped though, I wanted to jam my feet through the floorboard and NOS it up the Fred Flintstone way. My conclusion, NOS High Performance Energy Drink does nothing to make your car go faster, but it will give mere mortals and Paul Walker more energy.



This drink is $1.99, with a great taste, and a notable energy boost this drink is a good value. I'd also recommend keeping a video camera handy, with the risk of blowing up, your friends could make your death the next Diet Coke and Mentos craze. Of course, Mythbusters (or Al Gore) will probably try to take credit for that too.
