Do vampires need energy drinks? Well, sort of. Blood is their drink of choice, and it seems to keep them going through the worknight well into coffin time the next morning.

Those of us with boring office jobs know what the 3 o’clock slump is like - it stands to reason that vampires might have the same problem at 3am, when they need a little nibble to get them through till dawn.

Well, just in time for Halloween and the release of the new Twilight movie comes Blood Energy Potion.It claims to have both the consistency of blood, and the nutritional makeup thereof. Whatever that means. Except it tastes like fruit punch. So it’s like the annoying chicks at the party drinking wine coolers while everyone else is belting shots of tequila. “Get real blood nutrients without that real blood taste!”

Personally I think this is an excellent niche for a drink maker. Hardcore sport enthusiasts - skaters, wrestlers, bikers, night shift workers, long haul drivers and students cramming for exams turn to All-Day Energy Spray to get the burst of energy and clarity they need to work and play hard. But what about those poor goth/emo kids? They’re clearly wasting away from lethargy and ennui. It’s important for them to have an energy drink of their own. Honestly, no one looks like they need it more.
