Just like Whitney Houston on crack or a bald Britney Spears, when Mother Nature gets mad, that bitch gets crazy.  <\/p>\n<p>Perhaps she&#8217;ll create hurricanes, tornadoes, snow storms, a celebrity sex tape that shows too much of her &#8220;forest,&#8221; sand storms, really hard rain, hail, or any other crazy shit found in the 2004 movie <i>The Day After Tomorrow<\/i>.  <\/p>\n<p>To prepare for the possible apocalypse, I&#8217;ve already started stocking up on bottled water, canned goods, batteries, waterproof matches, ponchos, toilet paper, and a first aid kit.  I&#8217;m also bringing my list of women who have said that the only way they would have sex with me is if I&#8217;m the last man on Earth.  If Mother Nature releases her wrath, which is more powerful than the <i>Wrath of Khan<\/i>, but with less breastfeeding than <i>The Grapes of Wrath<\/i>, I maybe getting laid.<\/p>\n<p>I should&#8217;ve known that the Full Throttle Mother energy drink was going to be bad, after all, it does have the word &#8220;bad&#8221; on its can.  They put the word &#8220;bad&#8221; on there as part of a marketing tagline, but it&#8217;s really an omen.  The energy drink itself had a tart and bitter taste to it, which made every sip seem like Mother Nature was slapping me across my face and saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m Rick James, bitch!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With apple, pear, and blueberry juice, along with acai berry listed in the ingredients, I was hoping that the Full Throttle Mother energy drink would be deliciously sweet, but for some reason that combination turned out wrong, like mixing the potent sperm of Kevin Federline with the egg from any ovulating female.  Although no matter how wrong its flavor turned out, the bitchslapping with every sip did help keep me alert until the caffeine kicked in. <\/p>\n<p>Speaking of sweet, sweet caffeine, the 142 milligrams of it per 16-ounce can is probably the only really redeeming quality about the Full Throttle Mother energy drink.  That&#8217;s enough of caffeine to jump start your day or cause possible heart palpitations after a long night of playing Halo 3.  <\/p>\n<p>Overall, the Full Throttle Mother energy drink is bad, just like its can says.  It&#8217;s probably one of the worst tasting energy drinks I&#8217;ve had.  Getting its energy from natural sources and having natural flavors is nice, but it would be even better if it were a USDA certified organic energy drink, like Steaz Energy Drink.   It does have a nice amount of caffeine per can, although I have to say that the caffeine content might not be enough to impress Mother Nature to prevent her from unleashing the worst PMS-ing ever for naming a bad product after her.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutritional Facts &#8211; one 16-ounce can &#8211; 230 calories, 0 grams of fat, 40 milligrams of sodium, 57 grams of carbs, 53 grams of sugar, 0 grams of protein, 20% RDA of Vitamin E, 40% RDA of Niacin, 40% RDA of Vitamin B6, 20% RDA of Vitamin B12, 1,182 milligrams (or 1.182 milligrams &#8211; I can&#8217;t tell from the can if it&#8217;s a comma or period) of acai extract, 177 milligrams of ginseng extract, and 1.4 milligrams of guarana extract)<\/small> <\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Full Throttle Mother<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $1.89 (16 ounces)<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  7-Eleven<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 2 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Made out of natural flavors and energy from natural sources.  142 milligrams of caffeine per 16-ounce can.
