5-Hour Energy

5-Hour Energy, by Living Essentials, is for pussies. That's what I get out of these lame-ass commercials that promote the product on the basis that it cures "that 2:30 feeling". What the pissing dog shit is "that 2:30 feeling", you ask? I didn't know, so I looked it up:


The commercials seem to imply that the feeling in question refers to sleepiness. But then why call it "that 2:30 feeling"? We already have a word for sleepiness, it's called sleepiness you shitheads! Use that! Or hell, at least make up a word or phrase that doesn't make you sound like you have your collective thumbs up your collective asses. Just imagine if you went to an abortion clinic and they offered to cure "that fat feeling". Would you risk paying for an operation that's no more professional than just jamming a coat hanger up your vagina? That's what 5-Hour Energy is like, jamming a coat hanger up your vagina.

And of all the possible times they could have chosen to associate with sleepiness, they chose the afternoon. What the hell? That's like making a commercial for constipation medicine that says you should take it specifically when you have explosive diarrhea! That's probably how this entire advertising campaign was made. Sleepiness at 2:30, what a load of shit. Here's a better solution for midday sleepiness: over the next month, make a tally of every time you are sleepy and it's not because you just woke up or are up too late. At the end of the month, for every time you were sleepy, kill yourself.

  1. I feel the same way. What ever happened to just plain old coffee in the morning? Nobody whined about being tired from doing their boring ass office job. Good post.

  2. its because between 2 and 3ish is when we feel most tired during the day, as humans are naturally inclined to sleep twice during the day, and this was one of those times.

  22. actually, in a normal human sleep cycle, assuming it's a normal one... if you sleep 8hours and you're awake for 16 hours, about half way through your waking life (8ish hours of the 16 that you spend awake) you'll get a feeling of sleepyness. This happens regularly to anybody on a very regular sleeping schedule.

    In other words: people that work a 9-5 get that get that middle day sleepiness sometime around 2-3pm. This simply shows that 5 hour energy is targeting the 9 to 5er.

    Personally, i still hate 5hr myself lol. i'll enjoy a redbull for a little boost here and there, but i wouldn't ever depend on it!!

  23. Stupid commercials just promoting a stronger caffeine alternative. Avoid the so called "2:30" by eating healthy and working out then you'll have energy all day. Or if you constantly get it, you're probably sick and should get a check up.

  24. The only time i get that "2:30 feeling" is when its 2:30 in the morning, thats what those drinks are for pulling all nighters
