There's a shield , "Golazo" in a fun font in white , outlined in black , "born to score" in green , outlined in metallic and black a soccer ball and five green stars on a black shield. At the bottom is a soccer player , perhaps of some notoriety , i don't know , but he's pointing up , I like to think both to Golazo and to heaven. It's nice when athletes recognize their creator.

Can Text :
     Panther Energy drinks come in a gaudy gold , red and blue can. I've said it before but i really like this shape of  can rather than the standard tall , skinny can. I just feel like this has more in it. I really like the picture of the Panther on the front of the can. It's mean and fast looking , not mention bears a striking resemblance to the Thunder Cats sign.

Active Ingredients (per can , not per serving) :
    Taurine , citric acid , inositol , caffeine and B6

Can Text :
    Hype Enlite , Natural Health Product . This can contains a profuse amount of text. The colors are a fashionable pink-on-pink , with bold silver reflective letters that are not outlined in stark white. This is a must have 2008 fashion accessory or something. The can contains some ornate drawings , within the pink-on-pink business. The following are items I was able to identify within the drawing : Cupid , Hype can , Sumo Wrestler , Reindeer , butterfly , star ,Topless women with her hands in her crotchral region (no, that's not a typo , I said , "topless women with her hands in her crotchral region" yes, prepubescent boys, run out and find "waldo") , mermaid and a goose. I'm going to to rush this can right over to Nocholas Cage and see if he and disney can squeeze another National Treasure movie out of it. As for the text , "Enlite yourself with only 10 calories".

Estimule sus sentidos ! The Rush can has a great dark blue top faded  to light blue bottom. I think it lokks sort of like an ocean , almost relaxing.

Active Ingredients (per can , not per serving) :-
    Over 2000mg of their energy blend with just as much taurine make up the energy in Rush !

Jones Energy

        The can looks mildly energizing , but more hot or cinnamon like. The can is orangish copper with a black flame pattern on the bottom. The world Energy is in black text but with white around it. It really leads me to believe that it will taste a lot like a new penny.

Active Ingredients (per can , not per serving ) ;-
    Taurine , inositol , caffeine , niacin and lots of B6 and B12. You  are also cautioned to "consume resposibly" with a two can per day limit.

Red Bull

Red Bull
    For more details ......

      The can is Blue and Silver in alternating colored squares with two fighting Red Bulls in the center. I wonder why they didn't call it Red Bulls since there are two on the logo.

Active Ingredients (per can , not per serving)

       "Vitalizes body and mind" with taurine. The other ingredients are pretty basic. Red Bull claims to improve performance , concentration , reaction time and stimulate the metabolism. It sounds like a lot , but pretty much anything with caffeine in it will do the same , it's just common sense.

Red Bull Sugar Free

Red Bull Sugar Free
       For more details .......

      Lightly Carbonated. Serve chilled. Red Bull claims that it "Vitalizes body and mind". The back of the can states , "Improves performance , especially during times of increased stress or strain. Increases concentration and improves reaction speed. Stimulates the metabolism". The can looks pretty much like the "classic" Red Bull , with a lighter blue , to let people know that you're afraid of sugar. It contains phenylalanine , so the small percentage of people with a certain condition who are sensitive to this chemical , should avoid Red Bull Sugar Free.

Active Ingredients (per can , not per serving) ;-

      "With Taurine" , appears to be the biggest selling point , as it's on the front of the can , but also contains caffeine.

Monster Energy XXL

Monster Energy XXL
       for more details ......

        The monster XXL can is awe inspiring. When you see it you almost have to take a second to realized that no one is there to cue the angelic harp music. At nearly 24oz you'll never look at those 80z energy drinks the same way. It raises the bar in the energy drink industry. The can is all black with the Monster logo in bright , electric green. The simplicity of the can design is great. The XXL font reminds me of the super bowl.
      As with the Bookoo drinks , riding in a car is awkward , if your cup holder is big enough to hold the bottom , it is so top-heavy when it's full , it wants to turn over. Or in compact cars , often the cup holders are mounted under the radio/air condition controls and the can is too tall to fit under.

Active Ingredients (per can , not per serving) ;-

      Per serving it contains the same as the 16oz Monster but just for the fun , this can contains 3000mg taurine , 600mg ginseng , 750mg energy blend - caffeine , guarana , l-carnitine and inositol.

Jugular

    The can is very energetic. It makes me want to scream. It is mostly blue with a large mouthed , tattooed surfer with green hair and no neck. The crazy font adds to the energizing , lightning feel. The slogan takes a cheap shot at Red Bull stating "All of the Energy , non of  the Bull." That's hot.

Active Ingredients (per can , not per serving)

    Jugular proudly states that it is powered by ADX7 which is "A powerful blend of adaptagenic herbs , vitamins and aminos". Not to mention 5000% of your daily value of vitamin B12! WOW

Rumba Energy Juice

       "Lightly Carbonated", may not be completely accurate , since you could pour it into your hand and using it as shaving form.

Active Ingredients (per can , not per serving) ;-
        The ingredients are pretty much the same. Caffeine , lots of B6 , but no high fructose corn syrup.

Red Celeste

Red Celeste
   for more details ......

            Red Celeste extreme energy ... The can itself is really more of a pinkish magenta color than Red. It has some light blue lines in the background that look a lot like the spot lights you might see around a Hollywood event. Extreme Energy ?? That's so last year. Extreme isn't even spelled with the capital " X " for xtreme. What's with that ? Otherwise , this drink contains no real fruit juice , so if you want pure fruity caffeine , better have a Ruba or Omaga.

Active Ingredients (Per can) ;-
       The can doesn't mention anything that sets it apart from other sodas.


   Similar Ingredients ;- 
       Caffeine , two and a half times your daily value of B6 and the all important High Fructose Corn Syrup. Love that Corn Syrup.

Nature's Nitro2Go

Nature's Nitro2Go

         Want to rev your engines ? "High Energy Drink" is stated twice on the can , in a Halloween-like front , because Halloween is high energy. Otherwise , it's "Low Sugar!" & "Low Carbohydrate!" , but has "Great Taste". All this is in red , so it's really important. It's "Lite! only 20Calories" too. The Highland, Ca company also states that it's "High octane Energy Formula Body Fuel". They warn "Consumer Responsibility : up to 4 cans per day". It's said to "Work Great and Taste Great".
