Five-hour energy. Ignite your taste buds with a freezer pop classic.
Re-imagine as a delicious firework freeze, five-hour energy shot. It's a great summer flavor that will remind you of your childhood with all the caffeine needed to be an adult.
I'd describe it as a citrusy lime and candy-like blue raspberry combination, and as great as it tastes. It has no sugar. Amazing. It's super convenient too. The small bottles fit right in your pocket. Do it very easily so you can always grab one for the road. When you're watching fireworks during the 4th of July, enjoy a firework freeze, five-hour energy shot to keep you going through the night. It's five-hour energy, right Dawson?

Let me ask you guys this. I just noticed this the other day, and you guys tell me what is going on.
We have a little trophy, I don't know, table or something in the back of the studio.
I get little awards and trophies and cups and things like that now and again, and we just set them on this table back there, and somebody pointed out the fact that my Catholic big brother star achievement award, which is just made of glass, has the top of the star knocked off it, just chipped off it, which means somebody was cleaning or something and knocked it over and then broke it, and then put it back where it was, and then left.
I understand the part where you go to someone's place of work or home, and you screw something up, but then you have to put a little post-it note, or you have to do one of two things. You have to either find the part that you broke off it and put like a little crazy glue on it and try to stick it back on, or you need to leave a little post-it that said like, sorry, basically knowing there's nothing I can have the cleaning lady or the guy do about it. But this was just, it got knocked over or something. This is what I'm finding. I know this is Los Angeles and we're at a 50 percent hit and run accident rate, which is again, one of these things I say 50 percent. It's about 10 percent nationally. We're at 50 percent, which to me is one of those, it's the 11-year-old boy who's torturing the small animals. It doesn't mean he's going to be a serial killer, but let's keep our eye. This is not what you call a good indicator. This is not a good indicator. For your city, a barbed wire around the freeway signs and a 50 percent hit and run ratio, not what you're looking for as a city. And by the way, the kind of thing that 10 years from now, someone could look back on and go, I guess we should have, well, LA, you can literally read the handwriting on the wall because there is literally handwriting on every freeway overpass, on every sign, on every rock and everything. We should have looked at these indicators as an indicator of what I would call decline. But when you knock over my Champion for Youth Award, as opposed to the one they give out for the people that hate youngsters, and then you knock the top of my star off, you got to either glue it on or I'll glue it back on. You got to leave a little post it. I don't really care about the award or anything. I mainly care about the fact that you clearly knocked it over and then you set it back. It's not like you're in here. It's not like I have paintball wars in the back of the studio or anything. It's not like somebody, well, I was fucking around with my BB gun, but I didn't see where the shotgun went. It must have ricocheted. You had to knock it over. It had to break. Then you had to set it back up on its feet.
