Energy Shot Blog

The 5-Hour Energy team is proud to introduce Kathryn Springer of Paris, Texas as the brand’s newest Featured Fan and winner of the team’s biggest prize to-date, a one-year supply of her favorite 5-Hour Energy shots. Kathryn is a mother of one, working hard to keep her family afloat in today’s downed economics, but also, with a little help from 5-Hour Energy, she able to manage in a 20-hour college load and enjoy time with her family.

As with previous Featured Fan winners, we had the 5-Hour Energy Guy interview the recent addition to the 5-Hour Energy VIP list.

Energy Guy:
Kathryn, when did you start taking 5-Hour Energy shots?

Kathryn:
I had my first shot in 2008. I started to notice that when the end of the week crept up and it was about midway through my day, I ran out of energy to accomplish the things I needed to do.

Energy Guy:
What made you start taking 5-Hour Energy shots?

Kathryn:
I began college and needed a little extra lift for early morning classes, which most college students can agree to. But I’m also working full time and have a family to spend time with.

Energy Guy:
Before you became a fan of 5-Hour Energy, were there any other energy drinks or products that you used?

Kathryn:
Just about everything on the market!

Energy Guy:
What did you first like about 5-Hour Energy shots?

Kathryn:
It was fast acting, and I was able to focus more on the tasks at hand.

Energy Guy:
Between your personal schedule, your family schedules and everything else that comes with being a working adult, when during the day do you take 5-Hour Energy shots?

Kathryn:
Whenever I need a boost, which is usually before those a.m. classes. After my first shot of 5-Hour Energy I am more alert and focused without the dreaded "crash" I have had from some of the other energy drinks on the market.

Energy Guy:
In what ways have 5-Hour Energy shots improved your life?

Kathryn:
Since using 5-Hour Energy I have that boost to do the daily chores and beyond. What’s even better is that my grades have improved from a B to an A because I’m able to better concentrate when I study. I recommend 5-Hour Energy to my friends when I realize they are running out of steam too. They love not having the crash either. This is, without a doubt, the best product on the market

After months of online competition, the 5-Hour Energy team is happy to announce the winners of the 5-Hour Energy 100m Dash and 5-Hour Energy Scavenger Hunt contests.

The 5-Hour Energy 100m Dash Flash game put contestants in control of the 5-Hour Energy Guy as he sprinted to the finish line. It seemed easy enough at first, but players soon found out that grabbing a 5-Hour Energy shot for that extra boost and avoiding the sugary alternatives would be the key to record times. It came down to mere tenths of a second that separated the top three finishers with fastest fingers in the nation.

Congratulations to 5-Hour Energy 100m Dash winners!

• First Place – Mahrlo Amposta of San Diego, CA
• Second Place – Bryant Nguyen of El Cajon, CA
• Third Place – Matt Olsen of San Diego, CA

The 5-Hour Energy Scavenger Hunt sent fans on a search for special 5-Hour tokens across the Fan Zone, MySpace profile and Twitter page. When a token was spotted the contestant put the code in the contest form and then submitted their findings to the 5-Hour team. Winners were picked at random from the list of hundreds who found all of the 5-Hour Energy tokens and codes.

Congratulations to the 5-Hour Energy Scavenger Hunt winners!

• First Place – Mark Adams of North Wilkesboro, NC
• Second Place – Eowyn Grecco of Young Harris, GA
• Third Place – Tom Bealer of Levittown, PA

Prizes are always important for a contest and the winners above all got a 5-Hour Energy t-shirt and hat. But better yet, third place winners get a week’s supply of 5-Hour Energy shots, second place contestants are taking home a one-month’s supply of shots, and the crowned champions in first place will have a 5-Hour Energy shot for every single day on the calendar with a one-year supply!
