Bang Energy: The Fitness Meme
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 มิ.ย. 2024
- Promoted by famous influencers such as Danielle Cohn, Jojo Siwa and Brad Castleberry.
What is this so called potent brain and body fuel, and is the Bang CEO Jack Owoc a genius?
NOTE:
Supplements, when correctly dosed do have their place in nutritional plans, especially if you have some type of nutritional deficiency or condition that requires them.
I personally take creatine, caffeine, a multi-vitamin and fish oils correctly dosed.
Unfortunately as cool as super creatine, ultra coq10 and bcaa's sound, they are almost certainly under dosed in bang energy drinks.
The most probable reason they are included is so they can legally advertise these ingredients in bold on the cans.
Which becomes problematic when they are marketed deceptively towards a mostly young, naive audience on Tiktok.
The USA version of Bang Energy was used in this video.

More Bang than last time.
Nice seeing you here sir
*damn right*
You right coach.
We can make a better energy drink... possibly with ingredients cited in your FREAKING COOKBOOK.
Hey coach, quick question. Do you recommend Bang to stay anabolic? Or is it a "Zero"?
I honestly never knew Bang was trying to come off as healthy. I just figured it was another highly caffeinated energy drink.
Late to the party, but yes it is just another highly-caffeinated energy drink. That’s not a bad thing; caffeine is really the only ergogenic aid that has an immediate effect on exercise performance.
The issue with Bang is it markets itself as containing creatine, but fails to acknowledge that creatine left suspended in water converts to creatinine. Basically, the creatine in Bang is inert.
I drink it for the caffeine.
They try to be but most people treat it like it's monster or rockstar
Ive never felt worse drinking an energy drink than after having 3 sips of a Bang. If it's not poison, it sure fooled me.
@@OkieDokieSmokie You may just be intolerant of caffeine or of any of the artificial sweeteners in it. Caffeine isn't bad, it's all the extra stuff. But if you try to use coffee as the caffeine source, you end up with a minimized response due to enzymes in the coffee.
@@LeviathanArts is that why coffee never seems to give me anything but when I drink an energy drink I’m ready to go?
“Nobody drinks bang energy”
The Military: Allow us to introduce ourselves.
Dude not even joking . I drink this shit all day, we sell it in our geedunks, and everyone around me has like two or three
@@bongeldeboogle3895 all the guys I went to Highschool with who were deploying drank a ton of the them. Constantly, I’m really not sure how they’re not dead yet
@@gotticketsjr2108 my body has ingested more hydraulic fluid and Jet fuel than any aircraft has consumed while flying , Couple bangs , tis but a flesh wound LOL
Prefer Rip It. Crack in a can.
For real
When I was in the military I was addicted to this stuff. I can’t believe I would kill 2 or 3 of these in a single day for a period of time. When I switched back to normal coffee, it barely did anything for me. Although I remember the massive headache I had from my body not getting the caffeine intake I was used to
I was going through 2-3 bang energy shots a for work. 55 hour work weeks. When holidays were over and I got time off, I went 3 days without caffeine and woke up with a huge migraine. After a good amount of caffeine, it went away after 12 hours. The caffeine reduced the migraine in half, but had that “it’s still there, just masked” feeling.
I remember being addicted to these things in the schoolhouse. It was absurd how easily accessible they were.
Dude, Bangs out the ass and half can RipIts 🙃
I drink 25 to 50% of a can during a workout and that's the limit I set. it is very powerful and I really feel it. yes I measure it in a separate container. I never drink out of the can.
Please be careful with your heart. I only consumed about 600mg of caffeine per day along some devil lettuce (has a effect on your heart) along with smoking cigarettes. Now I only smoke about half the cigarettes I did before and quit the caffeine and weed, but my heart rate is still constantly 20-40 bpm higher than normal for my age. I'm only 22 approaching 23 and now do cardio in the hopes of bettering my situation.
Coffeine seems relatively harmless to most people, but please don't be as dumb as I was and take care of your heart.
Bang: The Axe body spray of fitness supplements.
Yeah in the gym lockers like Nazi Gas Chambers and making people fall sick bro
Rather drink redline... started ghost which felt "cleaner"
I'm out of the loop, what's wrong with axe?
😂😂😂
They're both good but they have a terrible community around them.
This gonna be a banger.
It always it
Bang-er
@@comic5333 haha I just got it
Idk if there’s a pun intended or not
Bro I fucking love your videos. It's great to have someone like you for us in California.
I've been drinking bang for a minute, purely as an energy drink for my morning shifts. I literally didn't see marketing or anything. Flavor just sounded neat and I switched
I never knew about the marketing as well, I just liked the caffeine
@@user-gq8ht4nw7i same here
You don't realize their appealing flavors are part of the marketing
Honestly same...I liked the colors, the way they taste, and I was looking for a drink that would give me an insane boost of energy. I found it and genuinely enjoyed it.
@@user-gq8ht4nw7i same here, I used to use monster energy as a pre workout but I tried bangs cotton candy flavor and I’ve been hooked since
I remember drinking half a can of Bang in high school and I felt like I was about to die. Never again lol.
"After being fired 8 time in 9 years, he gave up on being an underpaid teacher". Yeah, I'm pretty sure the school system gave up on him. He's clearly got some issues.
In canada u get fired once and ur not getting rehired
@@gregdoucette That's fucked up.
@@tappajaav to be fair the American school system has rehired sex offending teachers, on a list or not, the Vatican and church system does it, and even the police rehire people fired from one department for genuine murder, so in theory as cucked as Canada is, it’s the safer route
@@spuhgeddy2971 I've also heard that in some states you'll be registered as a sex offender if you so much as pee in public(and "public" is quite broad definition).
Hiring/rehiring someone who's peed behind tree in some distant corner of a park doesn't seem very unreasonable to me(this is of course extreme example)
@@tappajaav that is 100% true and it happens all the time, very unfortunate but at the same time you really shouldn’t be doing that anyway lol. Definitely should at least get slammed for public indecency. we’re overall extremely excessive to the point where someone just making claims can leave a permanent mark on your personal record
«Kids named Kyle» 😅😅

@@brettjosh lol, know one understands what it's like to be Kyle
@@kylemckinney_22 RIP😂

When I was severely depressed, I would drink 2-3 black cherry vanilla Bangs a day. At the time I thought they helped my depression by giving me more energy, I now realize that the sleep deprivation and increased anxiety harmed me in ways that I can't take back. I was 17
lol relatable except it's coffee for me and I'm still addicted
I starved myself teenage years for low bf this is what happens when cookie cutters are the youths information
I doubt if you’re permanently crippled by it. Have a little faith in yourself.
Gen Z shit
man I'm sorry about that but I know folks doing crack at that age and ended up happy and well years later
Bang is the raid shadow legends of energy drinks.
As a former daily drinker of bang I can vouch for how addictive those things were. Looking back it’s pretty insane
I did import a couple to try and I must say the pina colada one was good
the flavor is so good i can't believe i ever drank a red bull
never had one
3-4 years ago, before they got big, I tried a bunch of flavors and every one was top notch. I was seriously amazed but I had decided to save money and drink coffee for caffeine. Side note, I drink alot of coffee but the only problem with bang (other than what this video highlighted) was it tasted too good with that amount of caffeine, and I was getting too much.
@@brettjosh They have a cola one that is bonkers too
oh man... i'm saving this to watch later. If you upload more videos i'll cancel netflix and join Josh Brett streaming
Same
youtube has overtaken netflix a while ago in regards to quality docu's.
Josh brett streaming😂😂
I’m in
We could call it Brettflix!
God, Jack's like a cartoon supervillain, complete with that big ass Bang chain.
Oh, and the Lorax comparison? Sent me. Great work as always, Josh.
Man, theses mini-documentaries on fitness you create are always on point
If Vince McMahon started a energy drink company instead of wrestling lol.
Hahaha😂 they must be related
Don't be insulting Vince like that

@@gregdoucette so is not drinking it at all my dude.
@@gregdoucette I can hear your response now to Eric Helms saying caffeine isn't a diet aid
@@gregdoucette Greg what about coke stevia (not coke life it’s only sweetened with stevia)? They don’t sell it in the US
Was not ready for the Rick and Morty ending...top tier content, informative, concise and the perfect sprinkling of memes.

Top notch quality content

Smol bang
Can you BACK that up with broscience
Hey its the guy with the smol back!
"no one drinks bang energy" the entire Army would like to have a word
Haha Rip Its finally out of style?
@@davidcraig9540 Makes sense.. Better flavors, twice as strong, only thing that's in the way is supply chain.
The amount of effort put into this is incredible. The graphics and animation and then the research beyond this is fantastic. I'm glad I've found this channel
I always saw it for what it was, a highly caffeinated energy drink with zero sugar and tastes okay.
Netflix documentary quality for free. You’re Doing the lords work over here, giving us more quality information than last time.
A company should be discredited any time they make unproven bold & even absurd health & performance boosting claims, as that should be an immediate red flag for everyone...
Agreed, unless of course they immediately acknowledge the mistake and correct it which never happens🙃
Well caffeine in general does boost performance so??????
To be honest, everyone where I'm at uses bang and the idea that a bang is supposed to be in any way health is completely foreign here. They kind a just go, 'you're gonna get a heart attack' or whatever.
As part of the military I never even saw marketing for the stuff, it was just another energy drink to suck down to get through the slog and depression of the day
Ironically after the segment that mentioned bottled air...I immediately got an add for trusens air purifier! Good video man!
Jack Owoc looks like the kind of guy that would hide a camera in a girl’s bedroom.

Maybe that's why he got fired from 8 high schools
Oh definitely
owoc means fruit in Polish
Somebody inform 'Shredded Sports Science' about this brilliance immediately
Fckin amen brother
Yes
These videos are so well done, and so well researched. Josh's voice is also so relaxing. Thank you!
"Nobody. Nobody drinks Bang energy"
The whole military begs to differ
The CEO of Bang is fucking terrifying lmao. Can't wait to see what this is about.
Don’t be scared of alpha attitude like that, more respect from me for not being fake
I'm gonna start drinking bang now
Hes just a goofy clown
As someone with no moral compass, this guy is an inspiration to me.
Showing the American dream never really died.
😂
Bro what the hell 😂
No, fr though. Imagine having a valuable contribution in his position
Personally got no problem with people makin fake supplements. If people are stupid enough to believe your bs then you deserve their money lol
@@jamesostendorf1518 At some point the blames falls on stupid people, instead of teaching people not to be greedy, we should teach how to not be taken advantage of.
Just found your channel and instantly subscribed. I’ve been binge watching your videos! Love them. Well made, informative! Thank you for your hard work :)
If this came out back in the early 00s, Mick Foley/cactus jack could have been a perfect spokesman "Bang Bang"
Prediction: Josh Brett future documentaries will be on netflix 100%

Why the hell TH-cam isn't recommending such high quality videos to people????
Hello from Sweden! I just discovered your channel and I’m loving it! You are very talented at presenting complicated subjects within the training community and turning them into something simple. I will recommend this channel to my friends and hopefully you have a promising career in front
Editing is just brilliant xD Outro had me laughing
Another fantastic video Josh! Glad we have you as part of the right side of our TH-cam fitness community, helping to educate people with facts, & exposing lies & deceptive marketing/products. 💪👍
I’ve drank a few bangs, the way it feels inside the body is clear how sketchy it is. Then you turn the can around and you can’t deny what this thing is. Such a good video and I hope more people see this
@Beard Zilla never ate something that made you feel like shit before? I find it hard to believe this needs to be explained.
@Cornerdisc5504 your caffeine tolerance was probably just too low
Sketchy? Ive used them as pre workout, literally 2 cups of coffee in a can. Its low in comparison to what actaul preworkout powders do
@@falcor200 Its simply i dont get sick 😂
I can down over 1g of caffeine a day but drinking a bang makes me feel sick to my stomach
*watches with increasing concern whilst sipping Bang*
The thing is the company would probably would be more successful if he wasn't so obsessed with putting himself in the marketing.
Josh:
"I'm about to end this mans whole career"
Also that ending though 😂
Are u doing all of those videos by yourself? If yes, that's hella impressive
Yeah, and thanks a lot🙂
@@CaraCreations1000 I would rather not count the hours😂 depending on the topic it can easily be 60hrs to 150😅
@@CaraCreations1000 Thankyou very much🙂
To make one video? Whoa! Respect sir. 💪🇺🇸🏋️. My next set of benches will be dedicated to you. If you can put 150 hours into a video, I can certainly squeeze out a couple of heavy duty sets with forced negatives. Thanks
Wow! You’re editing and production values are amazing
So happy you used that powerthirst line. Great work as well, very well edited and thought out.
I work at a shipyard, I'm writing this as I'm watching, and at work this is the most popular drink at the food trucks during break and lunch. Lol I never knew that it was this much of a meme.
My man should really have a season on Netflix for these vids. Keep up the hella good work.
The editing on this is just astoundingly fantastic.
Dude some of the best informing and displayed videos I have seen. Great job!
I used to drink 2 monsters a day but now have developed a caffeine sensitivity. The amount of caffeine in Bang is guaranteed to give me a full blown panic attack.
Josh's editing is simply amazing
It's takes upwards of 150 hours to make just one video. That's dedication. I read this in a respons he provided here in the comments section. I love the comments section. I wish more people ponied up more cerebral insights though.
as an energy drink enthusiast, i would look for different energy drinks to try, lol not the best idea growing up. From my personal experience, bang never felt right drinking it, it felt as if caffeine was literally the only thing in it, compared to other drinks; come to find out, thats true. As i got older, good nutrition, working out and sleep beats this.
at the end, coffee was the tried and true means of caffeine. lol
Caffeine in water or caffeine in carbonated water, either way they’re the same.
Everytime i drink coffee i get a headach within an hour or so, i think its the pesticides used to grow coffee, bc when i drink energy drinks I don’t get this headache . I also have IBS so im very sensitive to certain additives, and bang makes my stomach hurt like hell.
@@buttheadmcge9400 coffee has other irritants in it as well, it's the plants natural defense mechanism to predators eating it, always gives me the shits, bang energy I can drink without that, the best though is just caffeine pills from Amazon I got nice gel caps with the theanine mixed in them to smooth out the jitters, cheap and effective
looooool this would be an amazing ad to promote your own enegy line loool
also i love how you also pointed out his good points and didn't jsut subjectively ROAST him all the way through
The ending sequence was rlly good as well lol
I got tired of seeing Bang everywhere and decided to just try it, and that was a mistake I think. I grabbed one can of Bang and got halfway through it and realized I was basically on another planet. Everything was super bright and I was so shaky I had trouble filling out paperwork at work. I’m no slouch when it comes to caffeine, I drink a ton of it doing 12 hour swing shifts, but this stuff was less caffeine and more cocaine. I haven’t drank it since because whatever is in that concoction was potent and it scared the hell out of me.
Also, the Powerthirst reference was great.
Man, I'm glad that I have always thought bang was disgusting
I think you had an anxiety attack. I have a decent tolerance, but nothing crazy like when I was in highschool, bang is really good for energy for me, but it's never made me "wired" like preworkouts do
I stopped taking adderall and grab some of these during finals week, cuz they are insane
lmao weak, we gamers drink this shit by the plate. I don't feel shit.
@@Imabeatyouman if you found bang more considerable for school work than adderall you might be a big fucking liar.
Is it weird that I didn't recognize hardly any of these "Influencers"? 🤷♂️
I don't think so. If you stay off social media you won't have any idea about them. At least I don't.
Also I've never heard about this "Bang" energy drink before. Good for me I guess.
Another high-quality video. I really appreciate your hard work that goes into making these. Keep it up!
from the bottom of my heart dont change anything about how you make this videos they are perfect man
Welp just found ya so am binge watching 😁 you do fantastic work Sir
“Nobody Drinks Bang Energy”
Obviously she’s never been in the Military
The Rick and Morty bit at the end earned the sub. The great videos overall will maintain it. Absolutely great channel bro, your hard work is appreciated.
I have never once paid attention to the "health benefits" I just drank them so I can get my caffeine in the morning. The only reason I stopped drinking them was because they generally don't taste very good.
Same, 100% agree. Miami Cola was the only one I liked.
If i could just subscribe a Million times, I already did. Best contents I've seen and can't wait for more debunking topics. Cheers!
That Rick & Morty clip was hilarious 😂😂😂😂
Damn dude. You are killing it. Anyone that mentions Eric Helms is good in my book. Also major props for the Rick and Morty reference!
7:25 POWERTHIRST you're a real one.
You'll have so much energy you'll be UNCOMFORTABLY ENERGETIC!
just subbed, this channel NEEDS to blow up.
To be fair, I'd never tried Bang until recently. But then, I am nowhere near the intended age audience of their marketing. I only decided to give it a go after Greg Doucette and Jonni Shreve did their blind taste test of popular energy drinks, and it came out on top for both of them. They were both very surprised by this, as I don't know that either had ever even heard of Bang, let alone tried it. And yeah, the Pina Colada is pretty delicious. Before this video (fantastic work as always, Josh!), I knew nothing about their insane marketing or ridiculous health claims. And if I did, I probably just blew it off like all the other hyped up nonsense we get bombarded with from the fitness industry every day. To me, Bang isn't anything special. It's just another Monster or Rock Star, except it actually tastes decent.
Picked up 4 pina colada flavored ones today for $1.25 each
Your videos remind me of James Jani's videos. They are incredibly well made and your voice is informing and soothing at the same time! Really great work!
Your content is so well put together , very informative, keeps me captivated though out the video, man you've such a bright and exciting future ahead of you, mark my words your going to go far with this and I for one hope you do! Wish you all the success you can get!
Crazy how I was avoiding Bang for being a bad company and didn’t even know some of the stuff you brought up in your video
I'm glad that this channel got traction

The ending is absolute gold, should’ve gone at the start as a clip/hook
I literally had one of the worst experiences of my life after drinking a full Redline as a young adult. I was 19, so 18 years ago. I can remember everything about it. Was a carpet cleaner, I called my boss to say if I don't call back in 30 minutes tell the apt manager where I was cleaning to check on me cuz I died in the unit. I felt so unbelievably bad. I was okay for my half so I figured a full wouldn't be a problem and that's how people end up eating half an ounce of mushrooms by themselves, TERRIBLE logic
This channel is waaayyyyyyyy too good.

Can't wait till your channel blows up. Keep up the good work 👍
Great video! Always been intrigued by Bang, they just seemed to appear out of nowhere in 2016-2018 (on my IG feed anyway)
I drink bang for almost every workout. I drink half a can, spill the rest out and fill the can with water. Genuinely great pick me up but also gives me that heart attack feeling
You still drink em? I do the same but mainly because these are sugar free unlike redbull
Holy moly! This was worth the wait! Professional level quality and well thought out commentary. Don't have Bang over here so all this was new to me but interesting nonetheless.
I'm guessing were getting gymshark next👀
Soon🙂 one of the next 3
Can I ask your personal view on the company?
@@brettjosh I heard the founder started in his basement, which is always respectable. Whether clothes are any good, idk but I know the Shredded Sports Science critique about using like 99% geared up models to promote an unsustainable lifestyle in terms of fitness - but you probably know that already. However, it might be interesting to take a closer look at the production of the clothes, as fashion almost always comes with very unethical and environmentally harming factors. Btw. I love your editing, keep up the great work!

Kind of hard to believe how “successful” a brand can be if it just throws enough money into marketing. Its downright creepy.
You've described basically every Hypebeast brands.
