Not really when compared to non-energy drinks.

About the same amount of sugar found in 1/2 a can of Coke.

Quite a bit when you consider that it's only 4oz. For comparison, just looking at the cans within arms reach at my desk:

Amp Energy Shot: 4.5g sugar per ounce
Amp Energy Drink (original flavor): 3.625g sugar per ounce
Red Bull: 3.25g sugar per ounce
Bawls: 3.2g sugar per ounce
Nos: 3.36g sugar per ounce
HiBall: 0g sugar per ounce
Sobe Adrenaline Rush: 4.125g sugar per ounce
Coke, according to a label I found via gis: 4.625g sugar per ounce
Headshot: 5.25g sugar per ounce

Great info, but would also like to see compared to what the average "real servings" would be.
Grams per ounce is not good comparison when one drinks 4oz or 12oz in a typical portion.

For example, average Coke would be one can, or 12oz, or with your data, 55.5g.
While average Headshot is 4oz, or 21g.
I know of no one that would stop at a half a can of soda, and if they did, still equals more.
This does not include those that drink a 16oz or 1/2 liter bottle of Coke as a typical portion.
Plus, good chance you will be going back for a second can of Coke before you would reach for a second Headshot.

Which means comparing the two, Coke (probably the most popular soft drink in the world), has more than twice as much sugar in an average consumed drink than Headshot.
 
You're assuming people are drinking the drinks for caffeine, in which case you're mostly right (aside from the fact that there are healthier energy drink alternatives, and comparing an energy drink to a common soft drink doesn't make much sense). If you look at it from another angle, where people drink them because they're thirsty (like me, I prefer the tart fruit or guarana flavors of energy drinks to regular cola), the sugar in Headshot piles on quick. Drinking 3 of them to meet the 12oz's of a Coke would put you up to 63g of sugar, compared to Coke's ~55.5g.

Plus, all this doesn't change the fact that they taste like ass 😉

speaking of comparisons, how did you obtain the original ass sample to compare these too.....:shocked:
 
Lol, who cares about sugar, the blue monster has none I think. The kick comes from the mix of taurine and stuff, if you want sugar go find a big tub of it and go to town.

Yeah, I know it. For the love of god, someone tell me about the buzz 😀 What exactly is it and how much of it?
 
I think you are being ambiguous regarding the flavor when comparing it to ass. Are we talking a "Megan Fox" quality ass, or the posterior end of a dead ass?
 
Well, just got my tracking number 😀. It should be here within a week or so. I don't get buzzes from energy drinks anymore, so unless its something special I can't comment. I'm probably going to have a heart attack by the time I'm 30...Die with energy!@
 
I've had a tracking # since the 21st but it looks like they only printed a label and not scheduled a pick up, because there is no activity or an estimated delivery date.

 
I just checked mine and it has been updated. It looks like it shipped out today and is suppose to arrive monday.
 

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Ordered, got pp confirmation, but no confirmation from the Headshot people. Not even an order confirmation really. NO response to email or t/c message left last Thursday.
 
Got my first shipment in today. Have 2 more that haven't shipped out yet, and am ordering 3 more on Friday.

Lol, but yeah...still waiting, when did you order, I ordered the 15th, should be here soon ish.
 
Might first one (the one I received today) I ordered around Noon CST on the 15th. The second ordered I ordered on the 16th around 5:00PM CST, and it has yet to ship out.

Have you tried them yet?
 
Yeah I tried the Red and green before. Have always liked the green, and then tried blue today. They are all good except for the Red (original). But the blue and green are great!
 

I ordered the 16th. Finally got through to someone today. He was honest and said obviously the response is overwhelming. Nice guy. Told me to give it to the end of the week because they are literally taking like 2 week or more. And not to be concerned if you're still in that time period...
 
How are some people able to check shipping status?

I have placed orders on two separate days, and all I have received was the instant PayPal payment confirmation email. Nothing from the company and nothing about shipping status.

It has only been about 2 weeks, and am not expecting them for maybe a couple more weeks, but just curious at how some people know shipping status?
 
I also ordered on April 16th. I haven't received anything from them yet, but I will be following up if I don't get something this week.

They emailed me a tracking number so you should get some sort of response when it ships.
