Product Review: Shock Coffee!

Shock Coffee has launched a line of hyper-caffeinated coffee that just might perk you up! The brand has found distributors all over the country that feature products including rich ground coffee; Shock Drinks that include blended, creamy flavors in Tripe Latte or Triple Mocha; and Shock-A-Lots, chocolate-covered Shock Coffee beans. If that isn't enough to start your day (or week), you can show off your brand loyalty and newfound addiction with t-shirts, hats, cups, and mugs that boldly state the company's slogan that "Sleep is Overrated."

America's coffee addiction may never cease, and the growing market for easy-to-pour, instant perk-ups are not leaving us anytime soon. With the addition of super-beverages such as Red Bull, Mountain Dew Extreme, and other adrenaline-pumping attempts, we're soon to become a very, shall we say, need-for-speed culture. We may be there already. The race that goes on in your mind on a caffeine high is akin to a natural panic attack; is it any wonder that anxiety levels followed by depression are a common occurrence for many? Regardless, all negative side effects aside, coffee has its perks; literally. Since it increases circulation and heart rate, you'll be more alert, possibly more focused (if you haven't had too much; if you're in overkill mode, you'll probably feel sick); and feel like your brain is super-powered and geared for action. Yes, it's a great state of mind for getting through a difficult day; but just like all things, don't overdo it. You'll soon fuel a very difficult-to-break habit, and it can lead to other health concerns over the long term.

Still, Shock Coffee provides drinkers with a new option to fulfill their caffeine and coffee needs. The blended creamy drinks are similar to the blended Starbucks Frappuccino, but have a slightly thicker/richer consistency and come in an 8oz. can. The company states that there are approximately 120-160mg. of caffeine in each 8oz. can. For comparison, the standard 8 oz. cup of java usually contains 45-70 mg, and a 2 oz. Double Espresso has between 45-100 mg. The standard Shock Coffee is available in a neat and efficient packet, and has a rich and wholesome flavor. The Shock-A-Lots are a great treat, and the chocolate and coffee combination are a great afternoon pick-me-up!

Current store locations include multiple gas stations and can be found in over 3,000 locations nationwide. They are also expanding into Canada and world markets.

Naturally none of the products are available in decaf! Visit www.shockcoffee.com for additional information, and to find your nearest location.
