DRINK WITHOUT FEAR! OF SPENDING YOUR CASH ON OVERPRICED ENERGY DRINKS!

Us guys at Spider Energy Drink have been saying all along that Spider Energy drink is the “BETTER VALUE, BETTER TASTE” energy drink alternative to the over priced national brands. But as most consumers have been burned by me too copy cats that keep trying to compete head to head with the big boys, we at Spider Energy have taken a different approach. What you ask? Well for one you can purchase a BIG 16oz can of Spider for only 99 Cents. Yes 99 cents (plus tax and redemption, where applicable). Secondly, our stuff taste pretty darn good. Hey it’s not easy to put double the B-Vitamins and 50% more caffeine in a can of Spider and make it taste as good as it does. I mean our competition has less stuff inside their cans and (in my opinion) they taste like crap. But then again, with all that extra money you spend on a can of their stuff, they can afford to advertise and brain wash you that you can go faster, become a beast and so on, and so on, etc. Hey we make no promises, just that you get a great energy drink that taste good and has more energy driving ingredients than our competitors. So still not convinced?  Well take it from one of the pro energy drink bloggers that recently reviewed Spider Energy Drink. Oh’ and guess what? we didn’t pay for this review, we earned it. And after you read the review, read more blogs at:  http://www.edjunkie.com/

Down came the Rain

Spider Widow Maker

It has been a couple of years since I reviewed the original Spider energy drink. I am glad to see they are still going strong and have a new flavor out. Widow Maker is the new brand extension and you gotta love that name. Let’s see if the drink can live up to it.

Packaging: Ok so you have a really cool black can with purple graphics. It looks sinister and aggressive. I like the purple spider and edgy font but the creepy grey mosaic spider in the background is awesome. I do think the 99 cent mark takes away a little but hey you gotta get that info out there. There is even a cool spider on the pull tab. Plenty of good info on the back of the can including caffeine content. Grade A+

Slogan: Aside from the Spider energy overall slogan of “Get bit stay lit” you also have a slogan just for this drink. “Drink what you fear” as well the one for the sugar free version is “Drink without Fear”  I love all of them and they work great with the can and image. Grade A+

Taste: So popping the top the scent is a pomegranate type scent. Pouring some in a cup it comes out a golden brown with a medium carbonation. I take a sip and the first thing I notice is the Acai up front. It is not an overpowering Acia as it is cut with some pomegranate. The pomegranate seems to come more to the front as the drink warms up some. While it is ice cold though the Acai seems to be the boss. The level of sweetness is fairly high but it is a good thing. There is no bitterness or after taste. Grade B

Kick/Ingredients: So this drink definitely packs some venom in its chelicerae! It hits you in the usual 15 minutes with a full on, hard core, and sugar fueled energy. I had some mild jitters and a full dose of energy that had me really feeling great. I was animated, talkative, and just looking for stuff to do and people to talk at. Really this is the kind of buzz a lot of people love. Nothing subtle here. The energy lasted me a good 4 hours with a minor sugar crash. This biting energy comes from Caffeine 240 mgTaurine 2000 mg, Ginseng 200 mg, Guarana 200 mg, L-CarnitineL-Glutamine, and B vitamins in the 200 to 500 % DV range (higher than most). You get this with 220 calories and 54 grams of sugar and carbs. It is sweetened with Sugar and Glucose. The sugar free version has no sugar, calories, or carbs. The SF version is sweetened with sucralose and ace k. Grade B+ for kick/ingredients

 

Web Presence: The site at spiderenergy.com is pretty good. You will find product info, mixing recipes, Spider girls, a blog, sponsorship info, and more. They also have a Facebookand a Twitter.   Grade B-

 

 

 

Recap:

  • Packaging  A+
  • Slogan A+
  • Taste B
  • Kick/Ingredients B+
  • Web Presence B-

Ok so as you can see this is a great drink. It easily rivals Monster in energy and taste and it comes in at about 1/3 of the cost! I have to say you would be doing yourself a disservice if you did not seek out this drink. With the economy in the shape it is you can still get your awesome buzz and save some money. Did I mention the can is awesome?  You know you will turn heads when people see you drinking this drink. Just get some ok!

AMA SUPERCROSS 2012 NOW IN SESSION

The 2012 AMA Supercross season has kicked off to a good start and Spider Energy Drink was there to support our official team rider #314 Alex Ray. During the season opener on January 6th Alex qualified in the 450 class and advanced to the “night show”

It was there where Alex raced in heat #2, and as a result of a crash broke his right pinkie.  But that didn’t stop Alex as he got back on his bike and raced in the “Last Chance Qualifier” where he was ultimately eliminated from racing the main event.

This past week Alex was fitted with a special riding glove to mobilize his finger and what a difference that has made. Team trainer Bryan McDonald said “Alex has been riding some of the best I have seen, and in fact not only did he brake his finger, I think he may have even broken his fastest time ever” One thing we know for sure is that Alex is dedicated to success and nothing like a broken finger is going to slow him up.

The next SX event will take place in Phoenix, AZ on Saturday, January 13 at Bank One Ball Park where Alex will do what he does best and ride with heart and soul. Give it up for A-Ray!

Below is a picture of two of our lovely Spider Energy Girls standing behind the #314 Spider Energy Honda 450.

THE SPIDERS WEB CONTINUES TO GROW!

The introduction of the Spider Energy Drink 99 cent cans has proven to be a great move for the company. In a world dominated by three major players most energy drinks find themselves spending way too much time and money trying to compete with brands that are very well rooted in the category. Consumers are not willing to try another brand if there is really no reason to spring the same price for something they might not like.

Over the years consumers tried so many cheap imitations and knock off’s that they simply got disgusted. So why do so many brands keep following a path of distruction? We found out fast…If you want to play in the game you need to either fork out some serious cash (more than even the big soft drink companies are willing to do), or you have to offer a killer product at a killer price! With the economy in the state it has been in, is in, and will be in for who knows how long? you need to adapt. That being said, the team of Spider Energy has decided to do just that. Offer our retailers, consumers and all those shelling out enormous amounts of cash a better alternative.

So if you are a consumer looking at ways to reallocate your funds? start by making the right choice and switch to Spider Energy. Reinvest the money you saved into more gas for your ride,  extra munchies, or whatever floats your boat, and spend that money saved at the very same retailer that gave you the cool Spider Energy deal in the first place.

Thanks for the support!

KYLE MOHAN MOVES TO 10TH IN FORMULA DRIFT PRO CHAMPIONSHIP

The Spider Energy logo on his car might be small, but the BITE is BIG! Kyle Mohan is showing great advancement in the sport of Drift Racing. Below is the recent press release where Mohan advances and moves to 10th in Formula Drift Pro Championship. Way to go Kyle!

July 27, 2011 (Signal Hill, Calif.) – Evergreen Speedway, located just east of Seattle, Washington, has been a tough venue for Kyle Mohan ever since he began competing in his Mazda RX-8. On one previous occasion, in 2008 – way back when Formula Drift only had top-16 tandem – Mohan made the show and faced series champion Tanner Foust in the first round.

His Mazda RX-8 faced an early exit in 2009 and 2010, but Mohan set that right this weekend by advancing to the Great Eight. His result means the Nexen / Mazdatrix Mazda RX-8 is the only non V8-powered car in the top ten of the Formula Drift championship standings.

Mohan missed his mark in both qualifying runs, ending up with a score good only for 22nd which would mean he would face Michael Essa in his unique BMW Z4 in the top-32. Mohan defeated Essa to make the top-16 when Essa lost drift during his chase run.

The top-16 saw Mohan face off against fellow Nexen Tire driver Cyrus Martinez, making his first appearance ever in the top-16. Martinez, struggling to match Mohan’s high and fast line against the Evergreen Speedway wall, drove into the side of Mohan’s RX-8, causing steering rack and bodywork damage – as well as giving Mohan the win.

“Finally, we got a great result in Seattle,” said Mohan afterwards. “The car was great all weekend, and the guys got our Nexen tires and Eibach suspension dialed in perfectly. I just missed it in qualifying – the car should have been way better than 22nd. Being that far down in the order means you get difficult competition, like Mike Essa, and you have to work really hard to beat him. And then Cyrus just plowed into us.”

The Top-8 bracket lined Mohan up against Rhys Millen, who defeated Mohan in the top-16 at Palm Beach International Raceway. Mohan did not want to allow Millen to have any advantage and threw the Nexen / Mazdatrix Mazda RX-8 into the bank while chasing Millen, staying so close to Millen through the run that he was nearly lost in the smoke until the end of the Power Alley when Mohan went off line.

“I knew after competing against Rhys and watching how his car worked that the only way to have a chance against him was to be really, really aggressive,” said Mohan. “I think I had a shot at it but I drove in too deep into the power alley and went offline and Rhys got an advantage, and I think that’s what did it.  The steering rack wasn’t quite right after the hit with Cyrus but the car was still really good. I’m really happy with how the car performed this weekend.”

The result moves Mohan to tenth in the Formula Drift Pro Championship at 266 points.  The next Formula Drift event, After Dark at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, Nevada, will be August 26-27. Mohan advanced to the top-16 in the 2010 event after qualifying a career-best second.
