<p>In an age when people will go the distance to save a couple cents per-gallon on gas, there is a booming new industry of energy drinks that sells for twenty times more than Coca-Cola &#8211; the energy shot.</p>
<p>More and more people are turning away from $3 coffee, in favor of $3 2-oz shots of energy liquid &#8211; and most of them taste horrible.</p>
<p>The energy shot market is expected to double this year, to $700 million in sales &#8211; and it&#8217;s dominated by Living Essentials&#8217; &#8217;5 Hour Energy,&#8217; as they were the first on the market.</p>
<p>Other companies have sprung up, in an attempt to capture some of this new energy drink market &#8211; similar energy shots like 6 Hour, 7 Hour, and 8 Hour Energy are attempting to break into this growing new industry with their own products.</p>
<p><center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FvNNRUhRFAk&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FvNNRUhRFAk&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>The Mr. Energy 8 Hour Energy Shot, though it sounds similar, has raised the bar for the industry. In addition to caffeine, it includes Acai, Gogi, and Tahitian Noni &#8211; three popular berries known for their dietary and energizing properties. Currently, the only other way to get a serving of Acai berry is to purchase a $40 bottle.</p>
<p>Aside from the health-benefits, The Mr Energy 8 Hour Energy shot has zero carbs or calories, and it tastes good!</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve seen the 5 Hour ads plastered all over the media. But if people read the labels before they buy, I think they&#8217;ll go for 8 Hour Energy. It&#8217;s just a better quality product,&#8221; says Darin Steen, one of the top ranked health and fitness instructors in the world.</p>
<p>In a blind test conducted at the University of Florida, 9 out of 10 students preferred the 8 Hour shot over 5 Hour Energy. Other test-groups were given free samples of the Mr Energy 8 Hour Energy shot, and returned with rave reviews.</p>
<p>&#8220;Wow&#8230; after taking the 8 Hour Energy, not only was I able to stay up to study for finals, I picked up a basketball game after! Without it, I probably wouldn&#8217;t have managed to do either,&#8221; said Troy Smith &#8211; a Finance major.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mr Energy 8 Hour Energy shots are amazing. I stayed energized and focused, and totally aced my final. It&#8217;s like time in a bottle,&#8221; said Stephanie Wilcox, a grad student in the UF School of Dentistry.</p>
<p>Despite 5 Hour Energy&#8217;s 60 million dollar advertising budget, Bhelliom Enterprises, the creator of 8 Hour Energy, is confident their product will succeed due simply to its superior ingredients. &#8220;The ingredients speak for themselves,&#8221; says Casey McCarthy, CEO of Bhelliom Enterprises.</p>

<p>During a time where Americans will drive the extra mile if it means they&#8217;ll spend less on gas, there&#8217;s a flourishing new type of energy drink that costs 20 times as much per ounce as Coca Cola &#8211; the energy shot.</p>
<p>A growing number of Americans are turning their backs to $3 cups of coffee, and picking up $3 2 ounce shots of solid caffeine &#8211; and most of them taste repulsive.</p>
<p>The market for energy shots is expected to increase by 100% this year, to 700 million in sales &#8211; and Living Essentials will likely be responsible for over 80% of those sales, as they created the original product &#8211; &#8217;5 Hour Energy.&#8217;</p>
<p>Several companies are already following in 5 Hour&#8217;s footsteps &#8211; energy shots such as 6 Hour Power, Fuel 7 Hour, and 8 Hour Energy are all attempting to tap into this new industry.</p>
<p>The Mr. Energy 8 Hour Energy Shot, though it sounds similar, has raised the bar for the industry. While the others merely contain caffeine, it includes Acai, Gogi, and Tahitian Noni &#8211; three popular berries known for their dietary and energizing properties. Currently, the only other way to get a serving of Acai berry is to purchase a $40 bottle.</p>
<p>In addition to its improved ingredients, The 8 Hour shot has zero carbs or calories, and it tastes good!</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve seen the 5 Hour ads plastered all over the media. But if people read the labels before they buy, I think they&#8217;ll go for 8 Hour Energy. It&#8217;s just a better quality product,&#8221; says Darin Steen, one of the top ranked health and fitness instructors in the world.</p>

In a blind taste test of college students at the University of Florida, 9 out of 10 preferred the taste of 8 Hour over any other energy shot. Other test-groups were given free samples of the Mr Energy 8 Hour Energy shot, and returned with rave reviews.</p>
<p>&#8220;Wow&#8230; after taking the 8 Hour Energy, not only was I able to stay up to study for finals, I picked up a basketball game after! Without it, I probably wouldn&#8217;t have managed to do either,&#8221; said Troy Smith &#8211; a Finance major.</p>
<p>&#8220;8 Hour Energy shots are amazing. I stayed energized and focused, and totally aced my final. It&#8217;s like time in a bottle,&#8221; said Stephanie Wilcox &#8211; a grad student at the Dentistry school.</p>
<p>Despite the massive 60 million dollar advertising budget of 5 Hour Energy, Bhelliom Enterprises, the creator of 8 Hour Energy, believes their superior product needs only word-of-mouth to prevail. &#8220;The ingredients speak for themselves,&#8221; says CEO of Bhelliom Enterprises, Casey McCarthy.</p>
