Energy Drinks for Video Gamers.

pac man energy drinkPac man is a gaming icon. You can’t chomp away all day and fight off ghosts unless you have just the right ammount of caffeine.  Pac Man energy drink comes in a great looking can and brings back memories from my childhood where I would play Pac Man at the local arcade. Classic.

mega manMega Man is one of my all time favorite video game series. What I love about Mega Man was that every level was equally difficult to pass. Mega Man is another classic game that will never go away. The E icon has been slapped on this can to market the release of Mega Man in Asia. I really enjoy the teal color and bold typography. Cool idea.

geek beerG33k B33r (geek beer for those of you that don’t speak l33t or know how to hack a computer) is a geeky gamer oriented carbonated beverage from the energy brand Bawls. This stuff tastes smooth and fresh. I love the fact that Bawls has embraced the geek culture in it’s brand. We are all geeks to some extent right?

energy potionEnergy robot has reviewed Health Energy Potion and enjoyed the apple cinnamin goodness. This energy is right out of a role playing game such as World of Warcraft and has the kick to give you mad XP!! There is really no other brand marketing towards gamers as hardcore as Health Energy Potion does. Cool concept and packaging!

dragonballzDragonBall Z power boost energy drink is full of anime goodness. Don’t get me wrong, but marketing an energy product with lots of caffeine is not the greatest idea since DragonBall Z is for a younger audience. If this was fruit juice I would feel much better.

street fighter dragon punchYet another one of my favorite video games of all time makes it onto the front of an energy drink can! Street Fighter Dragon Punch has a wicked design and retro look to it. Button mashing and energy drinks go hand in hand.

donkey kong jungle juiceDonkey Kong Jungle Juice is an interesting idea for a beverage. Kong looks very confused on the can here.  Not really very energetic. Hmm.

resident evil tvirusJust incase there is a zombie outbreak, you can find an antidote at your local convenience store. The T-Virus antidote is a canned energy drink that promoted the release of Resident Evil. Very cool idea for a drink. You put zombies and gamers together and you got yourself a winner. Brains.

powerupLast but certainly not least is the Power Up Energy Drink. Mario looked totally amped to be on the front of this can. This is yet another iconic video game brand extension. I think this drink would be way more cooler if it was in a mushroom shaped bottle with a happy face on it.
