Demon Energy Drink: “Not for Soft Little Boys”
Well, I wouldn’t go that far…..
A brand that has been working hard to establish themselves as an energy leader down under, is Demon Energy.
With its parental advisory warning printed on the can and the other statements such as “No Limits – No Laws” you would believe this drink is sweet as , but we’ll see if it lives up to all the hype aye.
Taste
Basically, Demon is a cherry flavored energy drink much like the many other drinks who adopt this flavoring. It was easy to drink, but I wouldn’t say it offered my taste buds a unique, exhilarating experience.
Ingredients
Demon Energy contains the standard energy ingredients with 2000mg of taurine and 160mg of caffeine, which they say is the maximum amount the police will allow, unfortunately, this is true as caffeine content is restricted in New Zealand and Australia. The vitamin B assortment, however, was a little on the “soft little boy” side.
Effect
The can has an energy warning saying it has 20% more energy, but in reality they have increased the size of the can 20% so they could increase the caffeine content without breaking the law. I was possessed by Demon after already having two cups of coffee earlier and I must say I have felt a noticeable increase in alertness and awakeness, not bad…..
Verdict
Demon doesn’t win any awards from me, but it’s a decent drink and I would drink it again if my favorites weren’t available. The price makes it attractive as well, as it’s often offered for cheap as in the grocery store. In an ever increasing southern hemisphere market it will be interesting to see how this drink evolves in the future in order to attract sales.

Being in Australia blows sometimes 
I wanna be where the action is! xx
I’m from the U.S. myself, and I’m half surprised this energy cap hasn’t come into play here yet. Everyone’s looking for a cause and “caffeine” (read as “energy drinks”) is the new evil. With hardcore players like Spike and Redline in ready supply 160mg seems painfully average…I have a nutjob friend who, on occasion, consumes six times as much in one night!
I like the can design. That’s about it. I have not tested so I cannot comment on that.
the old can looked better…but demon tastes pretty good.
my favorite energy drinks:
bawls or jolt(i couldent decide)
rockstar
amp
nos
red bull would be on there somewhere if it had more caffine and was cheaper
Wait, they restrict content in NZ and Australia?
Jeez. That really sucks.
I’m liking the warning label, though.
