So for those of you who know me you know that for 8 months of the year I wake up for work at 3:45AM 7 days a week to get down our commercial lobster dock.
It’s a grueling year doing a lot of repetitive work and it’s very physical as well. So when I get home I’m uusually tired. Getting home usually between 6-7PM eating dinner and then trying to stay awake to spend some time with the family.
The Mrs and I try to get out for dinner once or twice a week and it’s nice to not be falling asleep in my plate. So I drink lots of coffee and if I’m really really dragging I’ll chug down a red bull to try to help me stay awake past 9PM.
Anyway I saw this online ad for Aeroshot breathable energy and it seemed intriguing. Instead of having to consume the liquid and sugar of the red bull take a couple of huffs of the AEROSHOT. On the AEROSHOT website they had a twitter page so I followed it.
Then while on twitter there was a promotion for a free sample so I signed up. It came to the house about a month ago but last night we had a dinner party to go to and I was pretty beat so it seemed like a good night to give it a go.
In the video above you can see the packaging and how the system works.
Here are my findings after using it last night:
It was very easy to use, you pull it from each end so it opens up and then put it in your mouth and when you close it a certain amount of what seemed like a crystalized powder entered your mouth where it dissolves and gets ingested into your body. you don’t get all of it with one burst, I did about 5 or six inhales.
You immediately get a taste of lime followed by a sharp bitterness. I had just brushed my teeth before so the taste wasn’t all that great to me but I think I would opt for something a little sweeter for a flavor instead of lime. A berry flavor would probably counteract the bitterness better than lime.
Within a couple of minutes I felt a rush and my heart rate increase. It was very noticeable that my alertness was heightened and it was more than the rush you would get from a red bull, 5 hour energy or drinking an espresso.
The alertness and heart rate increase lasted about 2 hours.

Stay away from that crap !
Hm-m-m-m…that sounds very interesting. I guess the powder is some form of sugar / caffeine concoction?
I must investigate this. I need to know what’s in it.
Thanks for the post.
Okay, looked at the website. B vitamins mixed with caffeine. Not bad. I was worried it was something weird but I think I’ll stick to my 5 hour energy drink.
Joey, please stay away from this crap – sounds like your body immediately went into “fight or flight” mode – a huge shot of adrenaline that could seriously harm you. You’re in good health, but kids or people with unknown heart issues could go into cardiac arrest.
Any docs out there – time to speak up, please!
(Post if you want Joey)
Sounds like Viagra for the heart!
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD…….Have another Cheeseburger with fried egg while your at it …
Joey – all I can say is listen to your Sista!
Joey, NONONO. NOT A GOOD THING. Find a local beekeeper and get some raw honey and take a spoonful every few hours you will have sustainable energy all day long and it will help clean out your arteries at the same time.
Not to worry. Thanks for the tip. Ken Duckworth is making some local honey. I’m dying to try out the natural way big time now!
That’s probably how Demi Moore started
Are you nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t do it again or I’ll smack you one. Listen to your sista but more importantly listen to your mother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
