More information

Born out of the dietary supplement industry, Spike promises to deliver more stimulants and energy than any other energy drink on the market. Perhaps overzealous, SPIKE has raised controversy by being banned from Thomas B. Doherty High School, a high school in Colorado Springs, Colorado, after two students were rushed to the emergency room. Other students complained of symptoms such as heart palpitations, nausea, and vomiting. Following this incident, 7-Eleven stores across Colorado pullled the product from shelves.

It is currently available in test markets in Colorado and Northern California.

With 1.5 mg of Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin), it has 25,000% the daily recommended intake.

It seems oddly strange to see so many 0's on an ingredient label.

I'd be afraid to have a heart attack with this stuff! I drank something called redline and went to the gym 2 hours later- they should call it flatline!!!

tasty and effective you can have the equivalent of 3 cups of coffee in a couple of minutes, which isn't enough to make your hair stand on end, but plenty to get you through the whole day.

This stuff is great. It got me fron Colorado to Illinois without being hungry and without having to stop to rest.

Hey, your post just gave me an idea. These energy drinks should do an Ad campaign where real people say all the things they can do after drinking their drink.
7.  avatar ginabeanginabean  Mar 21, 2007 12:42pm

That would be a good idea. I wish they sold it here in IL

"I drank this and had to go to the hospital!"
"After I drank Spike I couldn't fall asleep for 15 HOURS! And it was 11PM!"
"After Spike my pulse has gone up to 100BPM PERMANENTLY!"
"I'm now impotent"

ginabeanx2 gave me an idea, too. Lisa Nowak should endorse this product. Diapers + Spike Shooter = Get there REAL fast.

This energy drink is hella good everybody go try it i drank the whole thing and i was perfectlly fine
11.  avatar mikeyb805  Mar 25, 2007 2:54am

I tried it, great taste, small can and was off the wall for a few hours at work. It tells you to try half the can which may be a good idea for those of you who stayed awake for long hours. Great dietary supplement.

So what's the consensus on this drink? Is it too dangerous? Or are the dangers overhyped by the media? The company claims kids abused the drink and thats why they got sick. CNN claims it's the devil incarnate.

im 16, had two nervous breakdowns and im always tierd. ive drank 6 cans of redbull and normally drink 3 coffees a day, and im still falling asleep in class. what more damage can i do by drinking this? BRING IT TO ENGLAND, BRING IT ON!!!! and 'the devils incarnate'? so your saying that the 'anti-christ' is a drink....right.....shall we ask the pope?
14.  avatar Omar  Apr 05, 2007 4:31pm

I always fell asleep in class too. Except instead of trying to fight it I just slept! Why not? It's not like you actually learn anything in class anyway. When I got to Uni I went to MAYBE 50% of my classes, especially in later years. And ended up doing much better. Class is an obstacle to learning.

hi i'm new to this site but it looks interesting. this sounds like a decent energy drink. i live in Ga. and it has not got here yet. i am waiting. when cocaine was avilable i chugged three in a row my first time and paid for it with heart burn for the next hour and a half. i was a little jittery but about 2 hours later i laid down and took a four hour nap. would this work for me?
16.  avatar Amanie  Jun 26, 2007 10:17am

Ha ha! You're like the ideal spokesperson for an energy drink. Chug it, heart burn, jittery, followed by a 4 hour nap.
17.  avatar xmyowndelusionx  Jul 20, 2007 1:03am

owensdaddy19: im also from ga. if youre really bent on trying this shit... well "Temptations" in Hardeeville, SC sells it. its pretty expensive-- $4 a can, but the stuff is potent. it is like doing lines of coke, from what i have been told. personally ive never done coke, but im a small girl, and after two of these, i didnt sleep for two days and was still lit like a firecracker, and got VERY VERY sick. Temptations is the only place ive ever known of that sells this stuff. Its right across the talmadge bridge on the left, just past savannah. good luck bud. btw, i wrote this assuming that the "19" is your age. You cant get into temptations if youre a minor.

300 milligrams of caffeine - this is what I'm talking about!
A redbull only have 80mg.
This thing give you a huge kick!
And it taste good and I didn't have a crash afterwards.

I drank two and 1/2 cans my first time having it and i was kinda light-headed and had alot of energy couldn't to sleep till 3:00 and i drank it at 5:30 probably the energy drink ive ever had
20.  avatar joshaley  Mar 12, 2008 10:01pm

^^best energy drink^^
21.  avatar hyperxcrazy749  Jun 07, 2008 10:54am

this drink was great but after a few hours i felt incredibly horrible. i had to get taken to the hosiptal. they shoud id 14 year olds who go to buy it and are 4'11 and 98 pounds. obviously if theres been reports about teens abusing it its a little stupid to have them selling it to teens. i was shaking and everything. but it tastes great, i want anohter one.
22.  avatar iridered  Jun 24, 2008 11:56pm

im 16 and weigh 120 lbs. i bought this drink here in the chicagoland area and took it on a pretty empty stomach. got real shaky and had problems standing with my knees trembling like mad, and my hands were too weak to grip much anything. Id drink it again, but make sure i ate a nice meal beforehand.
23.  avatar yale  Oct 31, 2008 2:08pm

One had the same experience as iridered with a large monster. Got shaky, started trembling and was slightly weak. Got home and crashed pretty hard. Last time I ever drink an energy drink.
