Tiger Blood Energy Potion

If you're in the US and follow pop culture, you'll know that Charlie Sheen has tiger blood coursing through his veins. This is more than mere mortals can handle, but now we can get a taste of what it's like. Thanks to Harco Labs for harnessing the power of tiger blood for the average man in a convenient IV drip bag for easy transfusion.

Seriously though, according to the package, here are some rules to live by after drinking this tiger blood drink:

• 100% Passion
• Take more drugs than anyone could survive
• Bang 7 gram rocks
• Dying's for fools
• Party epically
• Expose people to magic, and then forget about them tomorrow
• Period. The end.

Talk about setting high expectations.  (I, and the drink makers, don't recommend doing drugs or banging any size rocks by the way). The drink in the pouch actually looks like the color and consistency of blood, which is pretty cool. But enough admiring the package - time to taste this tiger blood energy drink. I have two options, as the instructions on the back of the pouch explain:

First Option - Microwave:

1. Pour blood energy potion into a microwave safe container.
2. Microwave on high for 14 seconds or until 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Pour into a goblet. Enjoy.

This is clearly the correct way to drink tiger blood. I followed the instructions exactly. It is actually a pretty thick drink, like a melted cherry popsicle. And the taste is very artificial cherry. I wasn't sure if it would be good warm, but it's surprisingly not too bad. The meek (who probably shouldn't be drinking tiger blood anyway) can try the other method of preparation.

Option Two - From the Pouch:

1. Twist off cap, while holding upright.
2. Tip pouch into mouth.
3. Taste the sweet nectar of life.

The thickness of it is much more noticeable when it's cold, and I actually think it tastes better warm. As far as the energy drink factor, it's no spike shooter, but there's definitely an immediate energy boost, probably stronger than Redbull. If you're the kind of person who drinks energy drinks for the nutritional content, you might be happy to know that this is a "liquid iron, amino acid, and enzyme supplement" just like real blood.

If you're drinking tiger blood all day and get tired of just winning, be bi-winning like Charlie Sheen and get some Adonis DNA too.
