If you saw our post on the Blood Energy Drink, you probably wondered what it tasted like. I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t taste like blood—unless you bit the neck of a dude embalmed with Capri Sun. That’s right, it’s fruit punch flavor. However, I did notice that the consistency was more syrupy than a traditional fruit punch drink, a little thinner than actual blood, but the effect is there.
I even went so far as to heat the fruity blood up to body temperature per the package instructions. What was that like? Well…it was like drinking hot fruit punch. It’s a little weird to drink at that temperature, but I have to admit that overall, the taste isn’t half bad. Plus, it has a fun Halloween vibe that would make it great as a party favor. As for the “energy” part of all this, the company behind the drink claims that it has a similar nutritional value as actual blood, and that it provides around 4-hours of energy. I can say that I felt pretty mellowed out after drinking it—although that might be because I washed it down with another blood-colored beverage fortified with nutritious alcohol.
In conclusion, a 4-pack of these things runs $16, and you can bet about $13 worth of that is novelty value. So, I suggest saving yourself a few bucks by pouring some Hawaiian Punch in a Ziploc bag. Cheers!

Well, it certainly puts a bloody spin on energy drinks, but will it last past Halloween? There is another red drink- (very new and made red from natural beet juice color) that is perhaps the ideal nerd drink. Ideal because of its confirmed brain benefits. This stuff can’t be found at stores.
It’s mentioned at the bottom of this webpage- http://phkey.com
So how long have you worked for these guys Tim?
Interesting! You should have gone all the way and drank it with an IV tube!
