Really Woot? We are now selling a product that had been proven to increase the risk of heart attacks by a substantial margin?

yes they are........"Blood pressure goes up. Heart rate goes up and then they'll start to feel the effects," Taylor said. "Heart racing, heart skipping, panic-attack symptoms. Irregular heart symptoms and worse." then you crash real hard. as to the other post - yes it will help with your marriage, it'll kill you before your spouse will.

I buy the 24 pack at Sam's Club every 2 weeks for 36 bucks. This is no bargain at all.

20,000 emergency room visits related to energy drinks last year in the US!

Great choice!

holy crap this "deal" sucks. after shipping they are cheaper at a gas station

Why are all the health police on here not wasting most of there time making comments on wine.woot since alcohol causes way more issues then energy drinks. You can take my caffeine when you pry it from my jittery niacin flushed hands!

Source? This is known to be unproven.

Walmart has it for $18 for 10. http://www.walmart.com/ip/5-Hour-Energy-Berry-Dietary-Supplement-Value-Pack-10ct/16627581

Not as good as Sam's club price, but better than the Woot price

Woot's trying to kill of their last few customers:

I'm a big fan of 5-hour energy and use it when I have little to no sleep and need to power through deliverables.

But know where it truly shines?

On a 20 hour move when you're driving a 28-ft long truck trailing an SUV from Denver to San Diego in high winds and no one with you but 2 dogs in the truck cab who are freaked out. I could not have done it without the added b-vit boost.

Why DO they rent those things to just anyone anyway? I sure shouldn't have been driving it!

5 hr energy is not your typical energy drink. The active ingredients include caffeine (as much as a cup of coffee), taurine (an amino acid), and B vitamins. Granted, the B vitamins are high levels and no research has been done to show the effects of this- but plenty of B supplements and Vit C supplements and "natural" cold remedies have high does of vitamins as well.

This product works great for me. Coffee gives me the jitters and stomach upset. I work as an RN and this helps me get through the entire 12 hours, half at the start of the shift and half in the middle of the shift. Sometimes I'll make it last 2 days by only drinking some at the halfway point. Way cheaper than a Starbucks addiction. And better yet- I don't feel bad or even that I have a ton of energy. I just don't feel tired. Nice.

I'm kinda one of the annoying health police myself, but this comment is amazing, I enjoy an energy drink every now and then anyway.

I was in for two and now I regret it, reading some of the links to better deals. To be able to order it cheaper on Amazon? I feel like a sucker. This will definitely affect my future purchases.

I'm so very disappointed in Woot. This used to be such a great site. Now I can't trust it at all.

So you have buyers remorse because you lack the wherewithal to shop around and rely on others to post links? A few dollars is a small price to pay for being lazy.

Yes, I have buyers remorse. And I also feel sad that such a great site has changed so much. But thanks for the personal attack, that was really fun.

There are off-brands with identical ingredients out there for <$1 ea at Walmart, $1 stores etc.

And airsoft guns Ohmygosh!Ohmygosh!Ohmygosh!!!! And electric bikes so you don't have to exercise so much and increase your risk of...
Also wine and wine glasses to drink said wine, nevermind salt and chocolate and other distracting gadgets - when will it ever end?

And dont forget the plethora of bacon products. Whoever thought Woot! screens their items from a health/safety standpoint, has not been through many WootOffs.

yeppers. i went round trip from nashville to seattle on a dozen of these things with seven hours sleep. no ill effects whatsoever.

it should be noted. in order for these things to work fully... you HAVE TO EAT FOOD. the vitamin b metabolizes with food. without food... vit b will not help ya.

Woot is indeed a shadow of its former self. Rarely has good stuff anymore. Every major e-tailer has a daily deal. With all the sections and each with multiple items in each its no different than anyone else.
As far as this product: its like crack in a can

The "energy drinks" that are killing people are the ones with crazy amounts of caffeine and sugar in them.
Mostly how this one works is massive amounts of vitamin b6 and b12.

I learned something new and valuable today!

Thanks!

Tissue?

Drink 'em like they're Dr Pepper:
one at 10, 2, and 4 o'clock!

Then it's wine time! ;-)

Combining alcohol and stimulants is supposedly an even surer way to the ER. But what a ride!
