5-hour ENERGY® Just Dropped A ‘Spicy Cinco De Mango’ Flavor That’s A Tad Unhinged

5-Hour Energy

I have a theory. It’s sort of a half-joke, but also a half-truth:

Hot sauce is the elixir of life.

Turns out, I might not be totally off base. One large study out of China tracked hundreds of thousands of people and found that those who ate spicy food several times a week lived longer. No one’s saying chili peppers are the fountain of youth, but if sweating through a habanero sauce on your eggs every morning also happens to boost your longevity? I’ll take that gamble every time.

I’m obsessed with hot sauces, and I have been for practically my entire life. That’s why this new spicy 5-hour ENERGY® is hitting so freakin’ hard. Sweet, spicy, and a tad unhinged, just how I like it.

It’s perfect for anyone who has…

  • Ever bought a hot sauce just because the label had a skull on it…
  • Carried hot sauce packets in your glovebox “just in case” you need to doctor up a boring egg sandwich…
  • Said “I want this to hurt a little bit” before ordering wings that you know are going to make your forehead sweat…

Then let me introduce your new flavor fixation: Spicy Cinco De Mango, the boldest 5-hour ENERGY® shot to ever hit shelves.

It’s a limited-edition flavor drop that tastes like a mango dared a habanero to ruin its day, and the habanero understood the assignment.

This 5-hour ENERGY® Spicy Cinco De Mango isn’t watered-down heat. It’s a full fuego mango-habanero anti-siesta fiesta that hits fast and leaves you grinning through the burn. Sweet up front and savage on the finish, in a way that will make your taste buds sit up straight.
