A Shoc Energy : Tropical Punch

A Shoc Energy : Tropical Punch

If you drink this expecting the taste of fruit punch as the name seems to imply, you may be disappointed. The flavor is nothing like it. Tropical Punch is apparently it’s own thing; more akin to piña colada, champagne even, with a hint of stale nuts. Included is a “natural energy blend” with 200 milligrams of caffeine.

A Shoc Energy : Orange Freeze

A Shoc Energy : Orange Freeze

A sip of this Energy drink will at first be off-putting if you’re expecting the taste of a Creamsicle bar. It is supposed to be based on those, but it just tastes like a cold Orange. The concept can be enhanced, however, by putting it in the Freezer until little ice crystals form. On a hot summer day, it’s certainly better that way.

video review : I Shouldn’t Be Alive

video review : I Shouldn't Be Alive

This documentary series, about (stupid) people lost or stranded alone for Days in dangerous conditions with little means of survival, is apparently based on real stories. That, along with its snappy albeit formulaic production, is what makes it captivating. The details rely on not much more than what the survivors say happened; the visuals are mostly re-enactments; but the gist rings true enough to astound.
