Wired x505: 500mg of Caffeine in a Can

wiredx505.jpgWired energy drinks don’t know when to quit. What is this - the caffeine wars?

The stats: in a single 23.5 ounce can

  • 505mg Caffeine (note this figure apparently includes caffeine from Guarana seed and White tea)
  • 365mg Guarana Seed Extract
  • 4400mg Taurine
  • 145mg Inositol
  • 88mg White Tea Extract
  • 730% RDI Vitamin B12
  • 290% RDI Vitamin B6
  • 235% RDI Vitamin B3
  • 145% RDI Vitamin B5

The web page gives the polite warning “if you can’t handle massive Caffeine, then stay away from this one!”

Yeah no kidding. Are there any shops actually stocking this thing? Or do you have to get a doctor’s prescription first? Is this drink even for real?

We Energy Fiendsters like our caffeine - but we know how to hit the sweet spot - and that doesn’t mean 505mg of caffeine in one hit.

Be careful with this one folks.

After sending an email to wiredenergy asking if the drink exists, I got a response a few days later saying that production will begin in three weeks, because empty 23.5 oz aluminum cans are hard to get. They also said that the machines were just switched from producing Wired X294 to X344.

thank you jesus, for allowing this drink to exist

Just some stupid kid? Heck, I can see dumb college students offing themselves by not paying attention to the labels.

Typically, I think it’s great when they make a strong energy drink…it’s a bit excessive though when 10 cans would probably kill my 130-pound self.

Whoa, dude….whoa.

Wow, that is sooooo much caffeine, I wouldn’t doubt that many companies won’t allow it to be sold in their stores, especially after there was an incident with some high school kids going to the hospital from an energy drink with 300mg of caffeine…this stuff has way more!

We are all going to die in our caffeinated world… or at least the U.S.

So I am proud to die in this drugged country.

well… I would say that’s insane, the 294 I loved, but 505… good god, no thanks.

I just wish that I could find the 294 or 344 drinks around here, they vanished suddenly a few months ago, and there isn’t another energy drink that I’ve had that’s half as strong as those.

The mother of all energy drinks is now available in their online store ^_^. http://wiredenergydrink.com/store.htm#row6 36 bucks for a 12 pack, including shipping.

Why does http://wiredenergydrink.com/x505.htm say Red Bull has 115mg of caffeine per can, but the caffeine database says 80mg?

Caffeine Fiend July 3rd, 2007 1:42 pm

Because either Wired got it wrong, or they are referring to a bottle of Red Bull which does have 115mg

DaedriX July 24th, 2007 10:29 am

I have looked, and the 344 actually has a higher caffeine/ounce ratio. Sure it’s only by ~.52mg/ounce. But still.

Well, i’ll buy it anyways lol.

Found this at my local mom and pop grocery store. I actually tried this one a couple times. And maybe it was just me but it just didn’t have the punch I thought it was going to have. Didn’t feel like 505 mg of caffeine….

A bit like drinking Rock Star, almost exactly the same. But then again that might be because I have a very high tolerance for caffeine.

this stuff is illegal in canada

Knight October 11th, 2007 5:09 am

Does anybody know any place in Australia that stocks this stuff? Preferably in Sydney..
