He also has his own line of energy drinks, the most recent being Crunk!!! Berry.  <\/p>\n<p>Since I have no idea what &#8220;crunk&#8221; means because I&#8217;m old, can&#8217;t understand what the Ying Yang Twins are saying, and want those damn kids to get off my lawn, I had to look up the definition of &#8220;crunk&#8221; in the Urban Dictionary, which says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A state of high energy, as described by rapper Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz. Southern word for getting rowdy, out of control, having fun, partying, going crazy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So basically &#8220;crunk&#8221; is a noise complaint or 911 call waiting to happen.<\/p>\n<p>After drinking the Crunk!!! Berry Energy Drink, I expected to get &#8220;crunked&#8221; and &#8220;buckwild&#8221; since it contained almost every B Vitamin in existence and 96 milligrams of caffeine.  I did get a big boost from it, but didn&#8217;t get rowdy or out of control. Unless you consider grinding my body against my vacuum cleaner while barking like a dog &#8220;out of control.&#8221;  This energy drink also contained a list of ingredients that sounded like they belong in a witch&#8217;s caldron: horny goat weed, white willow, skullcap, and ashwaganda.  <\/p>\n<p>WHAT are they for?  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure they&#8217;re there to get me and you crunked out of our frickin&#8217; minds.  YEAH!!!<\/p>\n<p>The Crunk!!! Berry Energy Drink smelled like grape juice and its initial taste also reminded me of grape juice, but then the acai berry flavor hit me which was quite tart, and finally, its aftertaste reminded me of raisins.  It was like a rainbow containing only purple and at the end of that rainbow was a decent tasting energy drink.  <\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t the best energy drink I&#8217;ve tasted, but it did give me a good boost of energy and I guess that&#8217;s what&#8217;s most important when you&#8217;re trying to get crunked.<\/p>\n<p>YEAH!!!<\/p>\n<p><small>(Supplement Facts &#8211; 8 ounces &#8211; 120 calories, 30 grams of carbohydrates, 28 grams of sugar, 50% Vitamin C, 25% Vitamin E, 25% Vitamin B1, 95% Vitamin B2, 95% Vitamin B3, 95% Vitamin B6, 95% Vitamin B12, 95% Vitamin B5, 4% Calcium, 2% Magnesium, 4% Selenium, and 4% Sodium.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Crunk!!!
