During the time energy drinks were on the rise, and before the advent of 5-Hour Energy, I had the idea to create my own brand of energy-booster related products.  I began this journey with great enthusiasm, until my 1st meeting with a contract manufacturer and flavor consultant.  Upon doing more research I discovered the many harmful ingredients used in most energy drinks, and as a result, I lost interest in the project and decided to stop drinking so many energy drinks, and start drinking water instead.
