Wired XXX supposedly a good lovin’ aphrodisiac energy drink – giving you energy and power to make your night last, as the song says, better, faster, longer, stronger. The problem is that Wired lacks most of the stuff you would need to make tat happen.This weak offering by Wired, its a shamefaced lie. While they might self label themselves as XXX, I would rate it only a PG. not even PG13. While the theme is mildly sexually suggestive, this has less steam than the edited version of Porkys on TBS.
Taste:5
There is nothing like a good succulent sweet fiery flavor to ignite passion. Think of all the fun sexual things that can be done with chocolate. Cinnamon syrup is divine, and there is no end to the excitement to be had with a can of whipped cream.
Ok, not replace that with the sour bubbles of a n energy drink. Not. Sexy. I have tasted love drinks with some amazingly sensual flavors – but this is not one of them. This tastes like Red Bull, orly a little more bitter and a little less medicinal.
For flavor to put you in the mood, I would go with a Buzz Bite and a glass of champagne.
Packaging:5
Nothing to write home about here. This is the same as every other wired drink out there, and the only thing that makes tis special is the XXX scribble on the front, and ingredients listing on the side. You get the same flame pattern as in all their drinks, this time in gold and black. While this might work for an energy drink, for something advertising itself as “The ultimate sex drive” I would have expected at least a little suggestive packaging – or at least something un-ordinary.
In terms of mechanics, they don’t double face – so it is harder for the distributors to face. The cap is on haphazardly, and there is no listing of caffeine content on the label. I did like their paragraph on why they added arganine in the drink, but it should not take the place of letting us no the most basic of ingredients in an energy drink.

Horny Goat Weed has been used in traditional Chinese medicine and as an aphrodisiac for hundreds of years. Some believe that consuming this plant can improve sexual function in both males and females. That is why it is in all these “love drinks” . Also itis cheap, abundant, and about as effective a downing a spoonful of oregano for most people. So they also throw in ere traces of maca root, Arganine and other herbs to try to help boost your libido.
What they do have is a decent 150mg of caffeine, which will keep you awake if you drink it in the evening longer than without – but not so much it is going to set you on fire. If consumed as a normal energy drink, expect almost the same energy as that of a doubleshot, Red Bull or Full Throttle.
