On Go Energy Shot Lemon Lime

A Fair & Honest Energy Drink Review

On Go Energy Shot Lemon Lime Retail Package Description

The bottle is a festive yellow-green pastiche of the 5 Hour Energy red-orange. I can't say this is the only place that On Go Energy Shot borrows from the established success of 5 Hour Energy. "0 net carbs, no sugar, lasts for hours, electrolytes, no crash". "Not recommended for children". The bottle also warns, "CAUTION: Limit additional caffeine intake to avoid the jitters. Niacin may cause increased blood flow near the skin, resulting in temporary redness and a feeling of warmth".

Caffeine Addict's On Go Energy Shot Lemon Lime Review

I was rather impressed that On Go Energy Shot didn't job to plugging its product line with scantily clad women. The marketing materials they sent us were all professional, and didn't look like they were made to appeal to horny little boys who hit on female characters in MMORPGs all day (not saying that doesn't require a copious amount of energy). I mean "A/S/L" is 5 keystrokes, and 6 if properly punctuated "A/S/L?".

IMHO, this tastes better than every other energy shot, and better than a good number of energy drinks. Very lemon-limey, and has little to no offensive aftertaste (assuming you like lemon and lime). On Go Energy Shot is everything it claims to be...unlike hotteen19f, who was neither hot, teen nor female...perhaps worst of all, he didn't even look like Avril Lavigne. I was very energized after drinking this energy shot, and would put it on par with almost any other energy shot I've imbibed to-date.

Cost is certainly a concern. Even with as good tasting, and effective as this shot is, I think $3 is excessive. If this was available at Upshot Energy Shot prices, this could be in the running for a perfect 10 rating. As it stands, it's really only lacking in value.

Energy Junkie's On Go Energy Shot Lemon Lime Review

On Go Energy Shot sent me an informational brochure, and, besides restating what is on the bottle, it went on to describe On Go Energy Shot as "One heck (edited for the our younger viewers) of a shot of energy". On Go, I'll thank you kindly to watch your language; we're a family-friendly outfit. Well, they supplied some reasons.


  • It tastes pretty darn (more editing) good

  • It gives you hours of energy

  • It's small and convenient

  • It has 0 net carbs

  • No sugar

  • It has electrolytes

  • It leaves you with no crash



Firstly, I've determined that On Go is run by a group of potty mouths. Despite the description of their taste reading as if it were dialogue from the movie "Platoon", they are absolutely right on target. This does taste pretty "darn" good, at least compared to other energy shots. It does give you hours of energy, and not bounce off the walls pre-pubescent boy energy, but the good kind, like what the Juice Tiger fellow has. It is small and convenient (really handy if you don't want to be up and down to the bathroom on flights or at ballgames), I can't argue that it has no net carbs, and I don't have a net carb tester at home anymore, ditto for the sugar tester, triple ditto for electrolyte tester. The last claim that I'm left with no crash is true and false. I did not experience any crackhead-like crash, but I still was left with my copy of Dave Matthews Band "Crash", which made me happy on both accounts, since I don't like fiending for a piece of crack, but I do like Dave Matthews.

At $2.99, this is a slightly better value than 5 Hour Energy, since this doesn't taste like it contains charcoal pieces.
