Headshot energy shots really surprised me last time out, where the apple slam both tasted like melted candy and the buzz was decent. The blueberry flavor was just as good, both in taste and buzz, while being totally irreverent in the process. This product was brought to the US from Thailand – a country ripe with energy shots and drinks such as M-150 and Commando Bear 2000. Fortunately, this shot is about 20,000 times tastier than these, although Commando Bear still has the best name.

Packaging:7
Like the apple slam, a couple things are going very right with this package. I love that they did not go with the standard energy shot package, coming up with something original that stands out on the Walmart shelves. The logo is very cool, as well as the font faces used and the great printing job.
There are some problems here too. First and foremost, the website is nowhere on the package – which is a little weird. Not a huge deal, but if someone tried to order this it might need more digging. No caffeine content listing either – just a warning that this product contains a high dosage. If you are going to list a high dose of caffeine, people want to know what it is.

Taste:9
After the candy goodness of the Apple Slam, I was looking forward to trying this blueberry one out. Like the apple, this had no medicinal energy shot flavor – and was pure sweet goodness all the way down. My only issue, and i was a big one – is that I drank the whole thing too quickly, rather than enjoying the flavor for a while. A drink this good deserves to have some time spent with it. I could easily drink a Tall Boy sized one of these. It tastes like blueberry candy – a treat I will be going back to.

Buzz/Nutrition:8
The ingredients list is exactly what you would expect from a drink like this – no frills energy – with the B Vitamins, inositol, taurine, and caffeine from 2 different sources. This has both anhydrous caffeine and guarana in here, so your caffeine fix is more spread out over a longer time period. This has more calories than your usual energy shot – owing to the sugar used to sweeten things.
And the buzz is fantastic! While not crazy jittery over the top, it was a very very solid 4-5 hour boost – great for that after lunch slump. While not at all healthy, this thick candy goo will guve you what you need to keep going for a while.

UPDATE: according to Avery, the fantastic reviewer at Addicted2Energy, this drink has only 85mg of caffeine , which makes my buzz that much more impressive. All that energy from just 85mg? How cool is that!?

Website:headshotenergyshot.com 6
Overall the design is nice, but the code is very strange. Is there any reason to slow the site down by having the css in the page AND calling an external css too? and who is Gfunk – and why are they in your page? I like the overall design, but is very very light on any copy. Their shopping cart also looks nothing at all like your drink site – which is a little disconcerting. For a 3 day quickie, this site is fine – but I sure hope no real time went into this thing…
