Energy Drink Reviews: Full Throttle Bad Mother
August 23rd, 2007 by Claude
I have never been a big fan of Full Throttle’s products. From tasting like melted gummi-worms to snow-cone syrup, Coca-Cola should fire the R&D people in the Full Throttle taste department. Upon venturing into my local EconoFoods I was excited to see some new energy drinks to review for Fuzz’s site. I thought “a new Full Throttle product?” I was somewhat skiddish, but willing to give Full Throttle Nature is one Bad Mother (Or is it just Full Throttle Mother, or Full Throttle Bad Mother ?) a chance. Hey, it has to be good for you, because it’s all natural (which really means that the caffeine comes from natural sources, that’s about it).Â
Here’s the quick review. The intitial smell is similar to a Flintstones Children’s Vitamin. Fruit Punchy but something seemed off. The first taste was gross. Seriously, I drink a lot of energy drinks and have had some bad ones, but I can safely say that Full Throttle Bad Mother is the worst I have ever tasted. I had to wait a few minutes between sips just to forget how bad it was so I can stomach another tasting. In fact, I just poured it out…I cannot even finish it. It claims to be Acai Berry flavored. Yeah right. If you want some Acai Berry, try HyDrive Acai Berry. I am ready to swear off Full Throttle products all together.

Ok I tried bad mother as well because it was on sale for 99 cents. Yup I agree awful! Probably the worst it tasted like a nasty wine cooler or something. You however were more brave than I - I only had 1 drink icky!

This stuff is great! No HFCS(high fructose corn syrup)! It actually has sucrose(sugar)! Plus 40% fruit juice!
The first few ingredients sum up the taste for me: [carbonated water], apple and pear juice from concentrate, [sucrose], blueberry juice from concentrate. Which hit in order: pear, blue berry, acai/apple finish (for me). Better than eating Acai berries. The accent of this is surely Acai (a ’superfood’ berry).
No preservatives or artifical flavors. But it has a nice clean kick, with no ‘down time’.

The above post was made by an anonymous source.
Upon investigation of the poster’s email address, turns out that it is a commonly used anti-spam email address..
It would lead me to believe that the post was made by someone who works for Coca-Cola (Full Throttle) outright, or is a paid blogger/consultant who’s job is to create a positive buzz about their products on the web.
Too bad Dave…no matter how you spin it (and your talk was a little too PR and not enough “street”) Full Throttle Bad Mother still tastes like crap!

alot of energy drinks are out in the market place but if you are after natural energy you should try the sambazon energy drinks as they hack a good punch.
