Damn you, Splenda!  You are the bane of my existence!  You are the thread that unravels the seam of my shirt!  You are the drunken Tara Reid of my celebrity party!<\/p>\n<p>The Low Carb Extreme Energy Shot has a slightly weak medicine taste, but it&#8217;s also got a weak fruit juice taste, thanks to the 3 percent pear, apple, and peach juice it contains.  Peach juice?  God, they&#8217;re making juice out of everything.  Damn you, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jack_LaLanne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jack LaLanne<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksjuicer.com\/vcc\/tristar\/powerjuicer\/132967\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">your Power Juicer<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Another thing that was weak about the Low Carb Extreme Energy Shot was the size of the 8.3-ounce can.  This small can was a surprising departure from the usual 23.5-ounce cans that Arizona Beverage Company uses for most of their products, which sell for 99 cents.  But again, the big caution label on the front of the Low Carb Extreme Energy Shot can was probably also warning me about the size of it.<\/p>\n<p>If only other products would have the courtesy to put big, bold caution labels on its packaging, it would probably save me and you a whole lot of time and money.<\/p>\n<p>For example, imagine having a warning on a Britney Spears CD. <\/p>\n<p><i>Caution:  This CD may cause your daughters to see Britney as a role model, when she definitely shouldn&#8217;t be; settle for an ambition-less husband, who won&#8217;t get a job; and make them say &#8220;y&#8217;all&#8221; way too much.<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Arizona Low Carb Extreme Energy Shot<br \/>\n<b>Purchase Price:<\/b>  $1.00 (on sale)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  2.5 out of 5<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Warning label, letting me know that it&#8217;s going to suck.  100% of your daily allowance of Vitamin C.  100 mg of sweet, sweet caffeine.
