This is one of the more unique products I have ever had the joy of trying. An energy shot in a little test tube (read sex toy) design,filled with sweet hot and spicy orange liquid like a supersweet Mexican chili – and will perk you up with around 100 mg of caffeine, a mega dose of aminos and adaptogens – with enough weirdness to attract looks from everyone around you while drinking. Blutonium is at it again with another flavor in a color that makes you blush holding the shot the wrong way. I can see trying to explain this one to a family member as they find it lying on your bedroom “No – this is just my energy drink bottle, really!”
Like The original Blutonium I tried, this stuff is really really good – so good that I am pretty disappointed no one other than a handful of people get easily get this stuff. Right now, you can only find this at Quick Trips, Mobil on the Run and other stores in Illinois and select states in the Midwest. While this company is trying to ramp up distribution, Jim Folsom said you could all contact him at (618) 254-0427 or at blutonium@folsomdistributing.com. If I ever end up low on my reserves, I know Ill be calling up for more, as long as it gets delivered to me in plain brown wrapping paper.

I know I said the Blue Blutonium was not quite naughty, but that was before I had 6 of these all laying out on my counter without the label. Why without labels? Well, like those normal energy shots, they wrapped a seal around it, so there is no way to take the cap off without ripping the label. I did not even think in that direction until my 12 year old looked at what I was drinking and cracked up – sniggering and blushing. Now, I am not a regular consumer of sex toys, but I think you can see from the picture that there is some resemblance.
As for the rest of it, I love the design, although the red writing on the red drink that is stretched and pulled just does not work. Also, not listing the caffeine content is a real problem for an energy shot, especially one that looks this powerful. I would definitely find a different way to slap the label on this most awesome of energy shot packages.

Like the blue Blutonium, this drink will keep you pumped for awhile. There is a difference between this and Blutonium original in that the habanero in here is an energy booster in and of itself. Within minutes you will feel a definite difference, and be able to keep up whatever it is you are doing. The shot only has 100mg of caffeine , but gets more power from Amylase, Cellulase, Lactase, Lipase, Protease, D-Glucuronolactone and L-Phenylalanine. I love these little shots – and would gladly suffer the embarrassment of having these little dildos all over my desk for the rush these produce.

Hot hhotttt hot! and this is a good thing. Nothing like licking up the spice to keep it out of kids hands. This is like a sweet candy reminiscent of a candy coated hot pepper – very unusual but keeps you coming back. In no time, the shot is over and you wish you had more. This is different than Cocaine energy drinks, with cayenne, or other candies or mints that have minty or cinnamon heat. This tastes of real habanero – and will definitely give your mouth a real kick. For those with no fear and can stand a little heat – this is a real treat and a fantastic energy boost.

Man – these people need to hire a web designer. This thing looks like it was slapped together in half a day by whoever knew the most Photoshop in the office. There is about half a page of information here – a little on the product, a little on the company and a contact email. Where is the cool? where is the shopping cart? finding this drink even online has proven to be a challenge. If they want this to sell well and get some shelf space, getting this product online SOMEWHERE is essential.
