blow energy drink review

Opening the door to my tiny apartment, I was overwhelmed at what I saw. Wrapped tightly in layers of cellophane, a kilo of coke. Sitting on my bed. Thinking my wildest dreams had somehow come true (I kid, I kid) I rushed in and began tearing open the white square package with the scorpion logo on it.

In reality, it was the promo materials from BLOW energy drink. Even if you have no interest in coke whatsoever, the extent to which they take their marketing is truly impressive. And freaking hilarious.

Blow energy drink is a white powder that comes in small plastic vials. The intent is to mix it in the beverage of your choice. The alcoholic beverage of your choice, if the enclosed recipe guide is to be followed.

A few favorites?

Lindsay Blowhan - Vodka & Soda + 2 caps of BLOW

Nose bleed - Vodka, Sprite, Splash Grenadine + 1 cap BLOW

Designated Driver - Vial of BLOW & 16oz of Water

The energy comes from Taurine, a smattering of B vitamins, 240 mg of Caffeine, and Kola Nut Extract.

The taste is rather fruity, almost kool aid like. I mixed it with Vodka as well as water and was pleased with the results. Not a punch in the face of stimulation, but definitely a great pick me up.

Being a dedicated journalist, I naturally had to see how BLOW would fare taken in the ahem, ‘traditional’ way.

That’s right. I snorted a couple of lines. (The promo sheets all warned specifically against this). It was bad. Like 33x worse than snorting Pixie Stix as a kid bad. The stinging lasted for an hour, and I’m not sure I even felt its effects.

Stick to the recommended technique for consumption (mixed in your favorite beverage) and you won’t be disappointed.

BLOW is currently receiving a massive backlash from conservative groups who decry the cocaine centric marketing campaign. They are calling for a national boycott, and recall of the product.

Logan Gola, company founder, has apparently received death threats as a result of his product launch.

We don’t glamorize drug use, we mock it. We flirt with and spoof the drug culture that existed in our society during the late 1980’s”.

All the more reason to stock up on BLOW now.
