DNA Energy Drink & Beef Jerky

Metal fans are not known for having a healthy diet. Typically, we just grab what ever we can and hit the venue/road/performance without even thinking about what we just ate, and that's how it is, since we have to spend our time focused on important things like METAL!

Henceforth, the typical places Metal fans find their substance, aside from pizza joints and taco shacks, is the convenience store (Beavis and Butt-head will vouch for this.). This is where we meet on a night when no bands are performing and stake a territory in the town/city/barren wasteland to call our own.

Today we look at 2 items that is a mandatory requirement to the convenience stores armada of food and beverages, the energy drink and beef jerky. And this being a Metal blog, we will look at a very Metal energy drink and beef jerky. Introducing DNA's Citrus, Sugar Free Citrus Energy & Sugar Free Cranrazberry Energy Drinks and Original, Spicy, Taco & Pizza Beef jerky Snack Sticks and Original and Teriyaki jerky-in-a-bag.


What makes these drinks and jerkys Metal?6?6?6? Simple, the fact that DNA has made the skull intertwined with DNA (As in the genetic code.) their official mascot is a testament to the company not being afraid to showcase how to the bone they take their goods.

First up are the jerky sticks. Pretty simple and to the point, and extremely convenient for those on the run to the next Metal show, I managed to snag 4 flavors of their line, and as aforementioned, looks like they were gunning for the Metalheads diet of Original, Spicy, Taco & Pizza flavored jerky sticks.


The Original jerky stick was pretty plain, simple. Like the last the sentence.


The Spicy jerky stick did have a kick and left my tongue "Burnin' for You".


The Taco flavored jerky stick was actually good and surprisingly tasted like they put a taco in the jerky.


As for the Pizza flavored jerky stick, it's Harry Sachz approved.


Next on the food side of this junk food delivery are the jerky-in-a-bag. The 2 flavors are Original and Teriyaki. For some Twilight Zone/Area 51/Black Ops reason, the Original flavor jerky-in-a-bag was better than it's jerky stick counter part, where as the Teriyaki flavor was dry and boring.


Of course, eating food this "Toxik" requires a "Nuclear Assault" of liquid to drain it down, and what better way to do it than with their energy drink.


There's the Citrus flavor energy drink, just imagine drinking a harsh version of Sunkist. Nothing more.


Than you got it's soulless sibling, Sugar Free Citrus Sugar. Just like Sunkist, but neutered.


Finally there's the Sugar Free Cranrazberry. For those who couldn't figure out the name play, it is Cranberry with Raspberry. This one is the Champion of the lot. The flavor was extremely good, and to be frank, I can see myself drinking this regularly. The color looks like alien blood from "Somewhere Out In Space".


To say this was an adventure that my organs wished I never embarked on is an understatement. And yes, I did mix all 3 flavors of the energy drinks presented here and actually drank it. Don't ask how that came out to be.
