Energy Shot Blog

At 5-Hour Energy we love spoofs. Like the idea from the movie There's Something About Mary that we used for the Blog post "Blowing 5-Hour Energy Right Out of the Water". To add to the list, Jay Leno also did a spoof of a 5-Hour Energy commercial on his new primetime gig The Jay Leno Show. Leno's 5-Day Energy shot has enough energy to "get you through the week….and do everything you dreamed of". See the 5-Day Energy commercial here at 7 min. 40 sec.

5-Hour Energy recently appeared again on late night TV when former Saturday Night Live cast member Jimmy Fallon interviewed SNL pal Jason Sudeikis on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. After talking about working with singer Taylor Swift and the skits he pitched her, Sudeikis told Fallon how he took care of his low on energy before the show with a 5-Hour Energy Shot.

Sudeikis even brought one for Fallon to try and gave the crowd a laugh when answering Fallon's question about taste. We think he needs to try the new Grape or Pomegranate flavors that fans are raving about.

You can watch the full interview with Sudeikis on below or just fast forward to the last minute (about 2 minutes in) and watch Sudeikis gave Fallon a the gift of 5-Hour Energy.

5-Hour Energy has joined Maxim Magazine in challenging readers and fans to take the next step to MAXIMizing energy and focus at the office, gym, lecture hall and every where else an extra boost is needed.

Together the Maxim and 5-Hour Energy duo will pit canned energy drinks against the 5-Hour Energy shot in the Energy Drink Showdown. The faceoff lets readers draw their own conclusions as to why 3.2 million people choose 5-Hour Energy shots every week.

The Maxim audience is of the competitive nature, and to keep with the Showdown theme readers can become contenders and battle it out in the newest 5-Hour Energy challenges and win prizes, including 5-Hour Energy swag and even a year’s supply of 5-Hour Energy shots.

The first challenge is the 5-Hour 100m Dash which lets you control the 5-Hour Energy Guy as he sprints to the finish line. Seems simple enough, right? But to break the record times you’re going to need an extra boost without the crash that only 5-Hour Energy shots can give you. Snatch a 5-Hour energy shot and you’ll be at full-stride, stumble on a sugary canned energy drink and you’ll lag behind the competition.

The 5-Hour Scavenger Hunt will take you through the 5-Hour Energy Web site in search of the special 5-Hour Energy Guy token and hidden codes.
