With all the  functional waters, relaxation drinks and liquids  loaded with tea based  antioxidant rich dentist certified Woo Science  ingredients to make you  bleed less, stop aging and gain superhuman  invulnerability, it is nice  to find a drink that is all an energy drink  is supposed to be.  A kick  ass caffeinated ride in a cool can.</p>
<p>The  Masters of Beverages  (yes, that is really the company&#8217;s name) is still  sticking to a nice  simple formula, pitting their awesomeness against all  the big boys of  extreme energy drink-ness. Fortunately for them,  Lighter Spider, like  the original Spider Energy is a truly rockin&#8217;  drink! They did about  everything right with this gem, and seem to know  what they are doing to  get it popular. I just hope it is enough to get a  toe hold and stick  around.</p>
<p>Taste:9<br />
When  I first took a drink of lighter spider, I was a little  disappointed.  I  was hoping for a direct port of their original flavor,  a delicious  orange taste.  It has been replaced by a new flavor, which  is really  just as good, just not what I was expecting.  Once I came to  grips that  the old orange flavor was gone, I began to enjoy the new  Citrus flavor.<br />
This  is not just a particular citrus flavor, like a  lemon-lime or grapefruit  drink, but a much more complex general citrus  taste.  While it would be  easy to ascribe this to the citric acid,  there is so much more flavor.   It tasted very unique and delicious, a  refreshing mix of the lemon bite  and a touch of tangerine juiciness.   There was no bitterness or  harshness, and was incredibly easy to chug &#8211;  even warm.  The flavor  works incredibly well when you are hot or  fatigued &#8211; perking up your  taste buds before the caffeine has any time  to do it&#8217;s job.  I think it  tastes most like a citrus Sweet Tart candy &#8211;  sour and sweet and yummy  tot he very end.  The lightness of the sugar  free variety and the high  carbonation keep this drink very light and  airy.</p>
<p>Buzz: 10<br />
And  what a caffeinated  rush too! Expect hours and hours of joy out of this  one.  This is  guaranteed to give you the energy you are looking for.   There is a very  serious 240mg of caffeine in the sixteen ounce can, one  and a half times  the amount found in the usual Red Bull/Monster drinks  out there.  When  you add in the carnitine, glutamine, Taurine, ginseng  and B vitamins,  not to mention the 200mg of guarana, the caffeine  content goes even  higher  and the buzz is even more impressive.  This  time out there is no  sugar to bite you in the ass and give you a crash,  but do expect some  jitters if you knock this can back quickly.This is  sweetened with a  sucralose/Ace-K mix that works perfectly with the  flavor to provide  ample sweetness. Fortunately, this is even all listed  on the can, so it  is easy to see how much of what ingredients you are  ingesting.</p>
<p>Packaging:8<br />
And that is not the  only thing they got right with the packaging, as  everything else is spot  on the nose. Like this drink&#8217;s older fatter  brother, I would definitely  feel comfortable drinking this at a metal  concert or hanging out with  the goth kids. There is enough grunginess  to make it acceptable at the  local skate park, as well as most other  teen alterna-hangouts. The  slogan change (from &#8220;get bit, stay lit&#8221; to  &#8220;get bit, stay fit&#8221;)  works  well,as well as their marketing slogan and  general Xtreme coolness.</p>
<p>The  lid on all 3 cans I was sent were  facing the correct direction, which  is a change from last go around.   The design is still top notch and the  printing job is just beautiful.   The only small caveat is there is no  double facing on the can, so  stockers spend less time facing the drinks  in the cooler.</p>
<p>Overall, the worst thing about the drink is that I  can&#8217;t find this near  me yet.  Once they infect everywhere, the big boys  might have some  worries.  Until then, I am hanging on to these few  treasures I have  left!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>FMX mega superstars Robert Distler and Taylor Woods will performing their signature FMX air stunts tonight Saturday, July 10th in New Mexico. Robert and Taylor are long time riding companions and reside in the state of Arizona. The Spider Energy team was fortunate to meet Robert earlier this year at the AMA Supercross at Anaheim 1 and Anaheim 2. Shortly thereafter we sent Robert some Spider Energy and some cool spider swag hoping to convert him from some other energy drink brand. It wasn&#8217;t long before we heard back from Robert asking what we put in Spider Energy as he stated &#8220;I have this amazing feeling and had one of the best rides I&#8217;ve had in a long time&#8221;. Then he proceeded to state &#8220;it must have been the Spider Energy drink I consumed on my way out to the track&#8221;. Shorty thereafter we met up with Robert again and gave him some more Spider. He was kind enough to share the Spider among some riding friends, one of whom is Taylor Woods. Instantly Taylor was hooked and now we have two new friends (Brand Ambassadors) to the Spider Energy Family. So please support these two awesome and amazing FMX stunt riders, as you will no doubt be hearing more about them, not only from us, but from the BIG World of Supercross and FMX stunt riding.</p>
<p>Below photos L to R (Robert Distler, Event Flier, Taylor Woods). If you happen to make it by the event, please stop by and ask Robert or Taylor for an ice cold Spider Energy Drink, they will be glad to share one with you:-)</p>

<p>Remember Spider Energy Drink offers a 100% money back guarantee so you have absolutely nothing to lose.</p>
<p>Posted by: edjunkie</p>

<p>Lighter Spider &#8211; Sugar Free</p>
<p><img src="http://www.edjunkie.com/images/cans/spider%20lighter%20spider.jpg" alt="" width="254" height="607" align="left" /></p>
<p>Ok so I really enjoyed the original Spider energy drink a while back. It was potent and delicious and was set to take on the mainstream market dominated by the like of Monster, Red Bull, and Rockstar. The only thing missing was a sugar free version. Lots of people are watching their sugar intake now days so you need to provide that option to gain in the energy drink market. Then along came a Lighter Spider</p>
<p>Packaging: The Lighter Spider can is just as awesome as the original. The colors are lighter to denote it as sugar free but the graphics and fonts are just as aggressive and cool. I like how the sugar free is printed clearly on the front. Sometimes people don’t make it obvious that a drink is sugar free and that is a mistake I think. Lighter Spider does not make that mistake. Great can. Grade B+</p>
<p>Slogan: “Get Bit Stay Fit” is clearly there on the can. I like how it is almost identical to the original Spider slogan and yet lets you know it is a sugar free drink. Cool drink specific slogan. Grade A</p>
<p>Taste: I open the can with a pssst and get a nice natural orange scent. Pouring it in a cup it comes out an orangish yellow. I take a sip and I get a not overly sweet orange flavor with a hint on citrus at the finish. This drink has a lot of carbonation. It is one of those sugar free drinks that does not overdo it on the artificial sweetener. They seem to have it at just the right level so the orange has a more natural taste to it. There is no bitterness or after taste to speak of.  I think they nailed the sugar free version of Spider pretty well here. Grade B</p>
<p>Kick/Ingredients: Well after drinking downing this Lighter Spider it hit me pretty quick. This is no brown recluse that sneaks up on you this is more like a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_wandering_spider">Brazilian wandering spider</a> in that it is fast and deadly. I was jacked up good and had the jitters to prove it. It is rare when a sugar free drink gives me any jitters. I was bouncing all over the place and in a great and talkative mood. The rest of my afternoon seemed to fly by. I got a solid  4 hours of energy and there was no crash at the end.  The line up of ingredients is typical  but it is a potent one consisting of the following per can. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Caffeine 240 mg</span>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurine">Taurine</a> 2000 mg, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginseng">Ginseng</a> 200 mg, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guarana">Guarana</a> 200 mg, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-Carnitine">L-Carnitine</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutamine">L-Glutamine</a>, and B vitamins in the 200 to 500 % DV range (higher than most). You get this with 0 calories and 0 grams of sugar and carbs. It is sweetened sucralose and Ace K. Grade B for kick/ingredients</p>
<p>Web Presence: Spider energy has really sunk it’s fangs into web presence with to options.  They have <a href="http://www.spiderenergy.com/" target="_blank">spiderenergy.com</a> which is looking pretty good with product info, a store, a cool bartending video set, and more. Then they have <a href="http://www.getbitstaylit.com/" target="_blank">getbitstaylit.com</a> which is their blog. To top that off they have <a href="http://www.myspace.com/spiderenergydrink" target="_blank">Myspace</a>, and <a href="http://www.twitter.com/spiderenergy" target="_blank">Twitter</a> wrapped up.  I’m giving them a grade of B</p>
<p>Recap:</p>
<ul>
<li>Packaging  B+</li>
<li>Slogan A</li>
<li>Taste B</li>
<li>Kick/Ingredients B</li>
<li>Web Presence B</li>
</ul>
<p>Like I said about the original Spider. This one can hold it’s on against the big boys. It comes in a cool aggressive can, offers a great taste, and delivers a more potent caffeine kick. If you see this in the cooler next to a Monster or a Rockstar you would be well served grabbing the Lighter Spider instead. Give it a try and let me know what you think.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We hear it from our retailers, we hear it from our consumers and we hear it from our our competitors&#8230;But when we hear it from those that have tried almost every energy drink imaginable we get even more excited! We really did work hard and took a very long time to develop what we believe is the best tasting, best energizing energy drink available. For those of you that have tried Spider Energy you know what we are talking about.</p>
<p>There have been so many energy energy drinks over the years and honestly, most have all tried to mimic the top selling brands, but not Spider Energy Drink&#8230;we are taking the energy drink category to a whole new level. Why settle for cough medicine, when you can have both an awesome tasting, extremely energizing alternative? Why ask why people, stop chocking down that same old yesterday energy drink and try Spider Energy Drink.</p>
<p>But don&#8217;t take our word for it, look at the awesome review below that we recently received from someone that has tried nearly every energy drinks ever conceived. Not convinced? Look at the product review tab on the Spider Energy Drink website at www.spiderenergy.com for more Spider Energy Drink reviews from multiple energy drink critics/bloggers. So far, not one bad review yet. Once again confirming hard work and research really do pay off.</p>
<p>So a big THANK YOU to all of our retailers, consumers and critics for supporting Spider Energy Drink.</p>
<p>Now &#8211; Continue reading below to get the full story from one of the industry&#8217;s energy drink critics himself. After you read the story click on the Caffeine-A-Holic logo to be directed to their site for more energy drink reviews. There you can see for yourself just how well Spider Energy Drink ranks amongst the competition.</p>

<h3>SPIDER ENERGY</h3>
<p>Today I will be taking on the sugar version of Spider Energy.  I was left very impressed with the brand when I reviewed <a href="http://www.caffeineaholic.net/2010/06/lighter-spider.html">Lighter Spider</a>, so I am hoping I have the same great experience this time.</p>
<p><strong>The Look: </strong>The can design is the same as Lighter Spider for the most part.  Spider Energy has a different color scheme, they used orange this time instead of yellow.  Also the slogan on the top of the can is slightly different: &#8220;Get Bit, Stay Lit&#8221;.  That is how you do a slogan, it is specific to the drink and it just all out kicks ass.  On the back there is a nice passage about the company and the usual nutritional information.  Great can that other companies should take notes on. (Nice graphic, great slogan, good color scheme, and the caffeine is listed)</p>
<p><strong>(9.5 out of 10)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Taste: </strong>Spider Energy has a great orange soda type of taste.  If you mixed orange soda with a little added citrus you would get Spider Energy.  There is no caffeine taste present and no aftertaste.  Another great energy drink that blurs the taste line between soda and energy drink.</p>
<p><strong>(8.5 out of 10)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Does It Work: </strong>Spider Energy comes at you with 220 calories, 54 g of sugar, a big handful of B vitamins, <strong>240 mg of caffeine</strong> (I bolded that for a reason, that is very nice), taurine, ginseng, guarana, and a good number of other ingredients.  This did more than just woke me up, this jump started me this morning.  After drinking down the can I had a great buzz that lasted well into the afternoon with no crash.</p>
<p><strong>(9 out of 10)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Overall Thoughts: </strong>I cannot think of anything bad to say about the Spider Energy drinks.  The look is great, the slogan fits perfectly, the taste is wonderful, and the kick is above average.  You can check them out on the web at:<a href="http://www.spiderenergy.com/">Spider Energy</a>.  Both of the drinks in the Spider lineup get my recommendation.  A big thanks goes out to my friend at <a href="http://edjunkie.com/">EDJunkie.com</a> for helping me discovering such a great product.</p>

		<title>SPIDER ENERGY DRINK GETS A DOSE OF &#8220;OCTANE MOB&#8221;</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As an owner of an energy drink company and one who actually drinks his one product daily (unlike some of those other energy drink guys) I tend to get a bit wired each and every day&#8230;Naturally, due to my aggressive nature, I enjoy a good rock &amp; roll metal music on a regular basis. So with that being said I regularly head out to local clubs in seek of some butt kicking tunes.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong I do enjoy radio play music, but why is it that the radio has to play the same 20 songs over and over and over again? With so much awesome talent in the world and some of the best local bands right here in Southern California, there are so many great options available to experience some killer music.</p>
<p>So on this particular one Saturday evening my good friend &#8220;JT&#8221; (the front man from the popular Inland Empire band XNO) and I went to a local club in Yucaipa, CA. Jamming this evening was a band from The O.C named OCTANE MOB. Now I&#8217;ve seen these guys before and when I did I realized they rocked the house, however the club I saw them at before was very small and the stage and acoustics were not that desirable. Knowing that the stage at this other place is much larger and that the sound system and acoustics are way better that the prior place, I made it a point to check these guys out again. No I&#8217;m not a critic by all means, but besides beverages my second passion is music.</p>
<p>So, what did I experience when the MOB hit the stage? Strong aggressive guitar riffs, Super shredding leads, bone chilling bass and drumming as intense as a stomping rhino. All that topped off with a front man lead singer that not only sings, but does so while laying down some killer guitar chords and pretty intense leads.</p>
<p>Octane Mob is one of my top pics for local talent and I highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for a band that plays rock &amp; roll metal music as intense as the great taste and energizing effect as Spider Energy Drink.</p>

We apologize we haven&#8217;t posted anything in a while, but we feel like we need to fly under the radar a bit. It seems like the competition is starting to take notice of what the Spider Energy Drink team has been working so hard to accomplish (quality distribution). In fact, just recently we ran into some of our competitors taking pictures of our displays.</p>
<p>Take a look at what we have been doing; Building displays, securing shelf space, placing coolers, posting POS materials and most of all having fun!</p>
<p>Attached are some pictures from some retail accounts that show how really cool it is to have Spider Energy Drink available for our customers. Even cooler, is that the Spider Energy Drink is selling.</p>
<p>So, when we see a competitor taking pictures of our displays we say &#8220;Thank you&#8221; We are honored that you like what you see! Otherwise, why else would you take pictures of our displays.</p>

The event marked his first event with not only new title sponsor Nexen Tire, but also SPIDER ENERGY DRINK, Genius Tools, and Gatorz Precision Eyewear.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<br />
Kyle Mohan Racing and Nexen Tire begin new partnership at Formula Drift Long Beach</strong></p>
<p>April 14, 2010 (Signal Hill, Calif.) – In his hometown of Long Beach, Kyle Mohan debuted the new colors of his 2009 Nexen / Mazdatrix Mazda RX-8 this past weekend in the first event of the 2010 Formula Drift Pro Championship season. The event marked his first event with not only new title sponsor Nexen Tire, but also <strong>SPIDER ENERGY DRINK</strong>, Genius Tools, and Gatorz Precision Eyewear.</p>
<p>Making more power than ever before from its Mazdatrix-built 13B engine, Mohan laid down strong runs throughout practice and was full of confidence heading into qualifying. After laying down a safe run on his first pass to get into the field, he laid down a spectacular second run until he missed a downshift in the hairpin, causing him to straighten at the very end of the course. Because of that, Mohan would ultimately go against 2009 Formula Drift champion Chris Forsberg in the top-32.</p>
<p> “The car has never been better, and it was feeling really good throughout the weekend,” said Mohan. “We really nailed the setup of the car, and with our new Nexen tires, I had a ton of confidence to keep my foot in it and really hang the car out. Long Beach is my favorite course and with all of our new sponsors, as well as everyone from Mazdatrix, and my family and friends there, I wanted to put on the best show we could.”</p>
<p>Mohan followed Forsberg beautifully on the first run, burning the rubber from his Nexen N3000 tires, but made a minor steering adjustment in his second run, which was enough for the judges to advance Forsberg into the top-16.</p>
<p>“Chris is a champion, and he’s a champion for a reason,” said Mohan. “He’s obviously a great driver and his car is one of the best in Formula Drift, which makes me proud that our team was able to put together a car that gave him a good run and that I was able to drive it right with him.”</p>
<p>“The Streets of Long Beach was a great way for us to begin our involvement in Formula Drift,” said Michael Meeiem, motorsports marketing director for Nexen Tire. “It was an awesome event and Kyle did everyone at Nexen Tire proud.
