7-Step Guide to Making Your Own Energy Drink
Preamble: Place tongue firmly in cheek.
- Think of a name.This is tough – there aren’t many names left. Hint: Don’t include the word Red (after all we already have Redline, Red Bull, Red Rain, Red Devil, Red Flash, Red Eye, Big Red, and Red Jak). Bonus Hint: Name your drink after an illegal street drug. This will ensure instant (but short-lived) publicity.
- Design a label.
Find an artsy mate who knows their way round Photoshop. Hint: Try not to knock off the Red Bull design. - Get hold of a private label energy drink company.
Take a look at these guys. For a minimum order of 160 cases, you can get your own energy drink manufactured for you. Cost: $1.23 per can, 24 cans per case. Hint: See if you can sneak in some extra caffeine. Remember – it’s a numbers game. - Take some photos.
We’re looking for action shots here – the sort of shenanigans that appear on Youtube every other day. Guys on skateboards and BMXs. Hint: Make sure you enlist your photoshop friend to paste in a few pics of your newly minted energy drinks into the pictures. - Bimbos.
Promise your best friends big sister a few cases of your drink – in exchange for a few photos of her at a party. Or you could just go onto myspace and copy a few profile photos. Hint: As above – make sure to get that shot of the can pasted in somehow. - Build a website.
Find a geeky friend who knows their way round the interwebs. Hint: Make sure the site is in Flash, has some loud and obnoxious music – and make sure to paste in all those photos you took. Bonus Hint: Get some merchandise up onto the site. Cafepress will do anything you want for a small fee. - Get Some Publicity.
As long as you got Number 1 right, you can get a press release knocked up, contact a few blogs, and you’re all done.
If you fail to make your millions… then don’t blame us.

Its Confusing but a good energy drink i stayed up for 2 days no sleep with a 20oz
