It's actually 10 hours of quarter-assed energy, because it only speeds up your metabolism half as much.

Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
The correct answer is that it gives you 3.5 hours at 70% of the energy boost.
pick a side you spineless fencesitter
It's this one here, Jedi sir.
So quirky! Did they pull out their sp0rks and duel???
Oh no, it’s t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m.
We are so quirky, even the people in the improve show thought we were soooo random. Some people said we should be on stage because of how random and quirky our conversations are.
Is a spork a spoon with an added fork, or is it a fork with an added spoon?
Spoon with fork properties. A fork with spoon properties would require adding material back in, whereas the former is just removing a bit of material to create the prongs.
now I really want a foon
I too find others being happy so offensive I must mock them to make myself feel better
Caffeine has a half-life in the human body of approximately 4-6 hours. So this means that the "5 hours" in 5hr Energy is just the amount of time it takes for your body to process half the caffeine away.
Therefore drinking half of a 5hr Energy would be 0 hours of the advertised level of energy. At best it would be like drinking a 5hr Energy and then immediately fast-forwarding 5 hours
So 5 hours of half-assed energy
Not even. I can't speak for others but the effects of 5hr Energy pretty much disappear after those 5 hours are up. Half the caffeine dose isn't enough to do much of anything, at least for me. So it's essentially a waste. I'm sure it depends on things like BMI but to get 5hrs of half-assed energy you'd need to consume 3/4ths of a dose, which would leave you with roughly half the experience of a 5hr Energy (that is, half the difference between the caffeine in your system immediately after drinking one dose and 5hrs after drinking one)
Except you've already had 5 hours of your body metabolizing caffeine, so the effects of the remaining half a dose after 5 hours aren't nearly the same as if you took that half a dose after a night's sleep and not having had any. Your body becomes accustomed to it. That's how all drugs work. You can take 6 grams of mushrooms and it'll definitely still be in your system after 6 hours, but the effects won't be the same as taking 3 grams straight up, it will have almost entirely worn off despite the residual psilocybin in your body.
It took me until your comment to realise I had skimmed over the word "half" in the OP. Now this whole thing makes sense.
I’ve never taken a 5hr energy. Are they really just caffeine shots?
Kinda. From the CVS website:
Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Citicoline, Tyrosine, Phenylalanine, Taurine, Malic Acid, Glucuronolactone, Caffeine. Other Ingredients: Purified Water; Natural and Artificial Flavors; Sucralose; Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate and EDTA.
So, Caffeine for sure. But the b-complex, and Taurine will also give you a boost, for entirely different reasons. Half this stuff is psuedo-scientific at best, and the rest just filler.
How else can you pronounce egg?
My Midwestern ex wife pronounced it "aig"
A long "a" sound. I'm a Southerner so for me it's egg. With a eh sound.
Ohh yeah, I have heard "aig" before. I didn't even think of that as a different pronounciation, just an accent.
I mean... That's the same thing
Of course. But my mind categorizes them separately... As in, in two speakers with the same accent can have two different "pronounciations" of a word. And likewise, one "pronounciation" can sound differently coming from two different accents.
The 'G's are pronounced like the G in GIF
With a soft 'g'
You're so eggy
A total egglord.
The first "g" is silent
No. The second G is silent. What's wrong with you?
In New Zealand, it’s pronounced “ig”
You know you're pronouncing egg wrong when you have to spell it some other way.
You mean like 'edinbara' or 'middlesbra'? Or asthma where the 'th' might as well not even be there? Queue? Is it weird or is it wierd? Worstersher sauce? English is full of those, c'mon :p everything is pronounced wrong.
You got me.
Ey
Everyone I've come across from NZ says it like igg, so there's that one, too. Aussies have a weird vowel to it that I hear at times, too.
If anyone is looking for the real answer then the half life of caffeine is 6 hours.
The almost correct answer in half-assed energy for 6 hours
Since caffeine drops exponentially, it would last somewhere between 2.5 and 5 hours and would be half as strong.
The only time I took one of those during a night road trip it have me a really big boost for about an hour and then about 3 hours of half assed energy. It wasn't fun
Similar story here, my youngest just graduated college. And apparently my family sat in front of one of his neighbors who I met later at the a house party. And he goes "I'm pretty sure I sat behind you at the ceremony. I sat down and the first thing I heard was 'god bless those Australians, they took one look at a whole onion and said 'I bet you we can fry that and Americans will eat it''"
Outback is American. ☹️
Don't do this to me
I’m jealous of both of them individually.
