Ammo After Dark

Unless you are the kind of person who regularly writes in to Dan Savage, sleeping people are not sexy. We snore, drool, wheeze and have bad breath. This is why almost every Love Potion on the market today contains caffeine. This is a series of energy supplements that all have one goal in mind; to turn you or your partner on. Understand this though folks, my 17 year old neice and occasionally my mother read this column from time to time, so don't expect me to get too salacious on the details.

Now talking about kink, I am not one of those types of guys who think women posing with rifles is sexy. While I understand the whole phallic thing with machine guns and such, I just never got how causing or receiving deadly wounds is supposed to make you all hot and bothered. This presents a problem with Ammo After Dark, a new aphrodisiac that comes in a small one ounce tube. While this is not overtly sexual, like many Love Potions, this formula is supposed to make women have their bedtime activities more intense and guys stronger for longer, containing a mix of some of the more popular sex herbs on the market.
Taste:9
On my first slug, I though it was an over-sweet, syrupy mess. The base flavor was good, but just too much . But it turns out I did not read the label correctly - as this is SUPPOSED to be a syrup, which you add to other drinks. I decided to try this in other sexually simulating liquids. Alcohol has been a classic un- inhibitor, so I tried making an Ammo Martini (Gin, 1 Full Ammo vial, and a splash of pomegranate liqueur) which was super tasty, an Ammo Screwdriver (like a regular screwdriver only with Ammo) and 8 ounces of Mickey's Malt Liquor ( As nasty as you think it would be). Except, of course, for the beer, the Blue Raspberry tasted just like it should be - making an excellent mixer, with no aftertaste or medicinal flavor. While I won't be chugging this by itself again, diluted it is a very yummy thing indeed.

As an energy shot, this stuff is great. Tons of power, with a huge 171mg of caffeine, along with Vitamin B-12 and L-Arganine. I found myself bouncing around for a good 3-4 hours on one of these shots, which is saying something for a one ounce tube of liquid. I was definitely more alert and focused, able to get through my mornings with a tasty orange juiced treat or yummy raspberry soda.

As a sex booster - not so much. I understand they are gearing this toward being an After-Party drink more than a Love drink, which is a good thing. While they have Horny Goat Weed,and the supplement Muira Puama, there really is not enough in here to amount to anything other than a little fun stuff to show your friends. Still this little dose of Horny weeds and tree bark is harmless in such a low dose.


Packaging:9
For a libido enhancer, it sucks, but as a party drink - it rocks. While nothing in the design is salacious or sexy, it is easy to slip into a jacket pocket or purse without fear of breakage. There is a whole lot of smarts that went into the design, from the unique shape of the one ounce bottle, to the tick marks on the side of the bottle, telling the drinker how much caffeine they are consuming. I like the that it is lightning, not camo in the background, although the huge AMMO font in stencils is still a bit much.

Kudos go out to the design firm for managing to print (mostly) legibly upon a small wrapped plastic sheet. These are small and convenient and pretty cool. The only thing I might add is something somewhere letting the consumer know it is a recyclable container as well. The little logo imprinted on the bottom is not noticeable by anyone and would be a nice touch.
