Elements Venom is the last Elements! It feels like the end of an era. Elements have been a mixed bag. Subzero and Fire were awesome easy drinking energy drinks, while the others featured pretty marginal flavors. This time Elements Venom is up. It uses the same type of can-bottle hybrid with a pea green color scheme. The symbol on the bottle is two fangs which look kind of stupid without a mouth to house them. Venom is a cool name for the drink, but does add confusion with the Venom Energy Drink. And really how many people want to drink a beverage where the name is a synonym for poison.
Elements Venom looks like lime aid in color, and has a similar color to Lime Wrecker or Jolt Ultra. It tastes like a very sweet lime aid. Unfortunately there is no bite, no sourness which conflicts with the name. It is refreshing kind of like a sweet lemonaid on a hot day, but without some sourness to contrast with the flavor becomes just too sweet and syrupy for everyday consumption. I could probably have it every once in awhile, but like Lime Wrecker better for a lime drink. Venom is definitely better than the last Elements I tried and is probably the third best Elements after Fire and Subzero.
The ingredients match the other products in the line. There's HFCS, ginseng, caffeine, taurine, gum acacia, and B Vitamins. The kick wasn't much but was a minor boost which is solid from a fruity drink. I still can't get passed the name since Venom is not appropriate in a sweet drink with no bite; they should take a page from Boo Koo Bite if they want to keep the name. As usual the Elements drink had a question top to their bottle. It asks: does it take more intelligence to run a Fortune 500 company or govern a country. The answer is clearly neither... it takes way more too write an energy drink blog though.
