Zombie Blood

Zombies are just a way of life - at least for me. Working for Corporate America, all I have to deal with the living dead every day. All this time, I had no idea that the vital fluids keeping them ambling about from the Coke machine back to their desks to drone was so tasty and revitalizing. A huge thanks goes out to Harcos Labs for yet another amazing product - Zombie Blood.

What is Zombie blood? Well, it has similar nutrients as real human blood, only with electrolytes, protein, and tastes like lime. Not sure why Zombies taste like lime - but now that the secret is out I am not sure not many will be making margaritas the same way again. I mean, why ever use lime juice when with the appropriately aimed shotgun blast there is so much plentiful zombie blood around?


Taste:9
Slimy textured, and sorta oozed out of the IV bag. Strangely, I wanted it to be even more slimy, instead of just thickly textured with whey protein. I sucked both samples right out of the bag it came it, although I did keep one of the bags in the refrigerator at work, to let the Zombies there know I was onto their little delicious secret.

I have heard tell that this Zombie Blood tasted mineral like and a bit metallic. Don't listen to them - they are all lying, hoping to not let you in on how good this is, so they can hoard this all for themselves. I loved it so much, I decided to try milking the undead with a staple gun and a Big Gulp straw at the office. Strangely enough, I was able to suck the life out of a number of cubicled coworkers without them even knowing. I guess work sucking the life out of them is so common, it was hard to notice.

Buzz:8
I was quite surprised by the buzz I found in this. It is certainly not one of the more explosive drinks Harcos makes - as it just has 80mg of caffeine. Maybe it was the Digestive Enzymes lurking in this drink too. There is everything found in a 5 Hour energy in here in terms of herbs, and has some energy blend too, to keep you one step ahead of the walking dead. I was expecting this to be much more of a novelty drink, but there was probably a good double shot of espresso's worth of energy to be found in here.

The thing I thought was unique with this drink is that the whey protein used to give this drink its milky texture is the same thing that give s this drink an extra boost of protein. When mixed with the electrolytes this has, that means that there is the opportunity to get more refreshed and maybe build some Woody Harrelson -like biceps while crushing undead skulls.

Packaging:10
Without a doubt the coolest part. Harcos did an AMAZING job with the original Blood Energy Potion - and this is more or less the same package. The jokes are a little different, and the bullet points have changed, but you get the basic idea. They even left bloody fingerprints on the IV bag, which in this incarnation adds a much more sinister feel to the otherwise clean and colorful package. They even managed to put a tamper proof teeny cap on the end of the IV bag.

My only issue is the fact that there is no caffeine listing, so you are not sure if this would be mellow enough to give to your 13 year old during a George Romero "Of the Dead" marathon, or when I take my kids to the next Zombie Crawl (nothin's cuter than my 6 1/2 year old chasing people downtown shouting "BRAAAAIIIINS". But the info is on their website - and if looking for answers means going onto that amazing and perfectly done promotional site - then more's the better. Anyone who is a fan of all things zombie absolutely must visit their website,
