The bottle is tall, in black with purple/blueish stripes that look like screw threads. The text "Tweak Extreme" is in a tequila sunrise-ish color fade scheme. Under that, in white, "Extreme Energy Booster, Zero Calories, Zero Sugar, Zero Carbs".
The cap states, "Contains three servings", "Warning Read Lable Before Use", "Not for Sale to Minors". There are numerous warnings, one in bright orange, that read, "Warning Read Label Before Use". Tweak Extreme is the new leader, over previous leader VPX Meltdown, for most warning text, so let's get started.
My name is Jason, J-A-S-O-N, I've been a tweaker for about a month. Besides being a deterrent to women, I had a fairly normal childhood. I grew up in a small town called Winston-Salem, best know for releasing legal genocide through the R.J. Reynolds plant.
The first time I did it, it didn't really effect me that much, I was playing some board games with friends, and everyone was doing it. I guess it all changed for me one day when I was sitting around, like anyone with 4-6 cups of cooked brown rice. That's when I realized it was the complex carbohydrates that really make the Tweak Extreme work. The grape smells just like grape Dimetapp, it tastes a lot like it too.
For a very short period of time, I really feel like I was able to tackle things and do all sorts of, what I would consider mundane tasks, and just get right through them. I had to stop sorting my Magic: The Gathering cards, had a tingling sensation in my fingers and was sweating profusely, and that was warping the cardboard. Hands are very cold, hands and feet. My core temperature, I feel like I'm radiating heat. I have an involuntary muscle spasm in my shoulder and right above my knee.
I have to start planning for my next fix, but I know better than to just take Tweak Extreme on an emptry stomach. The bottle is loaded with warnings, and you'll only make that mistake once.
What makes Tweak Extreme different from Monster or other energy drinks, is that I don't think that the energy is coming from the caffeine, so much as the proprietary blend of other chemicals and enzymes. The energy boost comes on really strong, fast and short for me. Again, as long as it's mixed with complex carbohydrates. After which there is a period of physiological ramifications, where I feel like my core is a furnace, my hands and feet are very cold, sometimes sweating, but very cold. To me Tweak Extreme is just a street drug version of VPX Meltdown.
Like so many others, Tweak Extreme is a trite, gimmicky brand that they hope will attract the kiddies to buy something"taboo". The bottle is covered in warnings which may be intended simply to protect the company from a torrent of lawsuits. Let me tell you, if as people have gone to the emergency room after taking 5-hour energy, as we've read accounts of, they're going to have to open a whole new ward, if this stuff gets popular. 5-hour energy has almost no affect on me, but even when drinking the 4oz. recommended serving size (which I'd wager 90% of people will disregard and drink the whole 12oz. bottle), I feel very ill, like I'm coming down with the flu. We've also speculated that the warnings are actually to attract the kids and young adults to buy it. Four Loko got as much notoriety as it did because of how bad it was supposed to be for you. I'm not saying this is marketing approach of LEO Scientific, Inc., but if they have no morals, perhaps it should be.
There's not a lot positive to say about Tweak Extreme Energy Booster. Blurred vision, nervousness, inability to concentrate, general temperature discomfort, regardless of the actual temperature. Tweak Extreme leaves me wishing I could expel it somehow, like when you get food poisoning, and you wish you could throw up and get it over with.
Tweak Extreme Grape tastes fine, in fact, I quite enjoy it. Unfortunately, there is some active ingredient in Tweak Extremem with which my body vehemently disagrees. I never get any positive effects, from the onset it's bad.
My mind starts racing shortly after I drink it, I start getting nervous and feeling overwhelmed. Then I feel like I can't get comfortable and I'm fidgety. I want to concentrate on my work, I just can't get comfortable and I can't stay focused on one thing. The back of my neck seems to be where most of the sweating occurs, enough to make a sweatshirt damp in a sub 60 degree room.
In short, I feel like a crack head that got hold of the wrong stuff.
