Playboy Makes a Bold Move Into the Energy Drink World

 It seems like these days, just about every big-name brand and celebrity is trying their hand at energy drinks, bringing their own unique flair—and fanbase—to the caffeinated beverage scene. Some launches feel inevitable, while others catch us completely off guard. This month, one of the more unexpected names has entered the arena: Playboy, the iconic brand known for its lifestyle and entertainment empire, is now making waves with its own energy drink lineup.

The new Playboy Energy Drink isn’t just a gimmick—it actually delivers a solid boost. Each 12oz can packs 200mg of caffeine, putting it on par with popular brands like Ghost Energy, Phorm Energy, and Redcon1 Energy. Add in a blend of B vitamins and a modest 5g of sugar, and you’re looking at a beverage that comes in at just 30 calories. For those after a functional drink without all the extra calories or sugar overload, it’s a compelling option.

True to Playboy’s bold branding, the energy drink comes in a lineup of fun, vibrant flavors. You can choose from Naughty Berry, a wild berry mix; Razz Bunny, a tangy blue raspberry; Sexy Peaches; Tropic Passion; and Lovely Melons, a refreshing watermelon blend. It’s clear that the brand leaned into its playful, adventurous identity with the flavor names alone.

For those curious to try it, Playboy Energy Drink is available on Amazon, with a case of 12 cans priced at $39.99. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the brand or just looking for a new energy boost, Playboy’s entry into the functional beverage market is one to watch and sip.

Ghost Levels Up Breakfast with Official Lucky Charms Protein Cereal

Ghost has been on a crazy run lately when it comes to collabs, and honestly, nobody is shocked anymore. Once they teamed up with General Mills to drop that light and crunchy protein cereal, you could pretty much see the future. If they had access to the entire General Mills flavor vault, it was only a matter of time before we started seeing some nostalgic heavy hitters show up in Ghost’s lineup.

We already saw it earlier this year with Count Chocula Ghost Whey and the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal collab, both of which hit that childhood memory button in the best way. And now Ghost is doubling down with something fans are going to recognize right away. They’re taking their Marshmallow Protein Cereal and giving it a full-blown Lucky Charms makeover, complete with those sweet, colorful cereal pieces everyone used to pick out of the box first.

What makes this drop fun is that the base flavor you already know stays the same, but now it’s loaded with all eight shapes of actual Lucky Charms cereal for that extra crunch and nostalgia kick. It’s the kind of thing that turns a high-protein breakfast into a little kid moment, but somehow still fits your macros.

The macros themselves stick to the original formula: 17 grams of protein from milk protein concentrate and caseinate, 16 grams of carbs, 10 grams of added sugar, 5 grams of fat, and 170 calories per 41 gram serving. Same nutrition, way more magic.

Ghost is releasing the Lucky Charms Protein Cereal first through their website this coming Monday, with a wider retail rollout planned early in the new year. If you’re a cereal lover or just want a fun switch-up for your morning routine, this one feels like an easy win.

Mary Ruth’s Just Dropped Creatine Gummies and They’re Actually Fire

 

If you’ve been around the supplement space for even five minutes, you know Mary Ruth’s has basically taken over the liquid vitamin game. Their lineup has blown up over the years with stuff like Liquid Morning Multivitamin, Liquid Morning Broad Spectrum, and Liquid Morning Skin Recovery. But the cool thing about the brand now is that it’s way more than just vitamins in a bottle. Pretty much everything they make leans into real wellness and functional benefits, not just another hit of A through Z.

And now they’ve officially dipped into a space that has been absolutely exploding this past year: creatine. Yup, Mary Ruth’s is here with their first ever creatine product, and they didn’t go with the usual powder. They went full gummy. Creatine Gummies are their take on the strength and performance staple, and each piece packs 1 gram of creatine monohydrate. If you’ve been watching the gummy trend take off, this fits right in.

To hit the classic 5 gram daily dose most people aim for, you’ll need five pieces. If you’re more of a maintenance-phase person or you just want a smaller bump, their recommended three gummies will get you 3 grams. Nutritionally, it’s pretty light. The gummies are pectin-based and use maltitol and xylitol, so you get no sugar, 7 grams of carbs, and just 20 calories a serving. Super easy to work into a routine.

Price wise, you’re looking at around $39.99 for a bottle of 30 servings at 3 grams per serving or 18 servings if you’re going all in on the full 5 grams a day. For anyone who wants a simple, tasty, and honestly convenient way to stick to their creatine every day, this is one of the cleaner gummy options out there.

Lost and Found Levels Up With a New Sour Gummy Bear Energy Drink and Double the Caffeine

 

Lost and Found has built its reputation on flavor first. Since day one, the brand has stood out by delivering some of the best tasting energy drinks on the market. That has not changed as the lineup has expanded. What started as a small selection has grown into a full menu featuring hits like Strawberry Pop, Orange Scream, Sour Pineapple, and the tropical Island Punch.

Now the brand is adding another entry to that list with its newest release, Sour Gummy Bear. While it fits right in with their candy inspired approach to flavor, this one comes with more than just a new taste.

The Sour Gummy Bear edition keeps the same nutrition profile fans expect from Lost and Found. It has zero sugar, zero calories, and a clean formula that keeps things simple. The real twist comes in the energy department. Instead of the standard 150 milligrams of caffeine the rest of the lineup uses, Sour Gummy Bear brings a full 300 milligrams in a 16 ounce can. It is designed to hit harder, last longer, and give the type of boost that lives up to the bold flavor concept.

The brand clearly wanted this candy themed flavor to match its name with an equally intense kick. The result is the strongest Lost and Found energy drink yet, aimed at anyone who wants more power behind their pick me up.

Sour Gummy Bear is available now through the official Lost and Found online store at 27.99 dollars for a 12 pack. While we have not tried this new flavor yet, the track record speaks for itself. Every previous release has delivered, so expectations are high and it is hard to imagine this one missing the mark.

Lost and Found continues to prove that flavor and function do not have to compete. With Sour Gummy Bear, they are turning up both.

David Protein Still Selling Its Wild Caught Pacific Cod, But With a Price Hike

When David Protein first announced it was entering the real food category with Wild Caught Pacific Cod, most of the industry did a double take. A brand known for protein bars suddenly dropping frozen cod fillets felt so unexpected that many people wondered if it was some kind of elaborate joke. But it was not a stunt. David Protein launched the product on its website, shipped orders to customers, and even landed distribution in Happier Grocery.

At the time, the move felt bold. Functional food brands occasionally experiment with new formats, but launching a premium seafood item was something very different. The product itself also grabbed attention. Each 6 ounce fillet delivered 23 grams of protein and only 100 calories, making it an extremely lean and convenient real food option for anyone looking to prioritize protein without the excess fat or additives.

Back when the cod debuted, we made a mental note to circle back at the end of the year to see whether this product had staying power or if it had quietly disappeared after the initial buzz. As it turns out, David Protein is still offering the same Wild Caught Pacific Cod today. Shoppers can still find it at davidprotein.com, sold in the same four pack bundle of 6 ounce fillets with the same lean nutrition profile.

There is one change though, and it is a significant one. The price has gone up. When the cod first hit the market earlier in the year, a four pack sold for 55 dollars. Today, that same bundle sits at 69 dollars. That is a twenty five percent increase for the exact same product. It is still available, and still high quality, but it now comes at a noticeably higher cost.

Whether this price adjustment reflects increased sourcing costs, rising demand, higher fulfillment expenses, or a shift in brand positioning is unclear. What is clear is that David Protein is committed to keeping its unlikely seafood entry on the menu. What once seemed like a short term experiment has become a steady part of the lineup, even if it now requires a little more room in your budget.

For fans of the product, the cod remains a clean, lean, no nonsense protein source. For the industry, it remains one of the more unexpected and interesting product pivots we have seen this year.

Condemned Labz Drops a New Christmas Themed Limited Edition Souls 4 Sale Preworkout

 

This December, Condemned Labz is taking the holiday season in a darker direction with its newest limited release, Souls4Sale Cold Blooded Holiday Edition.

Souls4Sale has always been the mysterious, unpredictable pre workout that shows up without warning and vanishes just as fast. It has surfaced during Valentines Day, around the election, and originally at Halloween with the first Witches Brew release. Each appearance feels like it comes from another world, and this winter is no different.

The newest drop arrives with artwork that looks straight out of a winter thriller. The vibe is cold, sharp, and cinematic. It does not feel festive in a traditional way. It feels like something is watching from the woods, like the kind of holiday story that keeps you up at night instead of warming your heart.

Condemned Labz has not revealed the actual flavor name yet, but early visuals hint at something icy, sweet, and intense, matching the sinister winter energy of the label. Think of a candy cane with a bite, something familiar but twisted.

The official launch is set to roll out in the coming weeks. As always, once this batch is gone, it will not return. Souls4Sale appears for a moment, causes chaos, then disappears until the next strange event calls it back.

Souls4Sale Cold Blooded Holiday Edition. A pre workout built for the ones who thrive in the cold.

Is Gorilla Mind Rescuing the Beloved Gummy Fish Energy Drink?

Flavor Wars: Is Gorilla Mind Rescuing the Beloved Gummy Fish Energy Drink?

The world of energy drinks is often competitive, but rarely does it see this much drama—or this much demand. A new rumor suggests Gorilla Mind is about to drop a Red Gummy Fish flavor, an apparent move to fill a massive void left in the market by a recent discontinuation.

Here’s everything we know about the leaked flavor, the Ghost Energy vacuum, and the Reddit post that started it all.

The King is Dead, Long Live the King?

For many fitness enthusiasts and energy drink connoisseurs, the "Swedish Fish" flavored energy drink (popularized by Ghost Energy) was a non-negotiable favorite. It was a perfect blend of nostalgia and performance.

However, the flavor was recently struck off the list. Due to expiring licensing agreements, Ghost Energy had to discontinue its version of the flavor, leaving countless fans mourning the loss of their go-to pre-workout or afternoon boost.

The silence has been deafening... until now.

The Leak: Gorilla Mind Fish Spotted in the Wild

Recently, an image of a sleek blue can—clearly branded Gorilla Mind Fish—surfaced online. The can design strongly suggests Gorilla Mind is preparing to launch their take on the highly popular red gummy candy profile.

The leak quickly caught fire across Reddit and social media, creating a wave of excitement and speculation. For fans disheartened by the loss of the original, this felt like a lifeline.

The Source of the Drama

What makes this leak particularly juicy is the story behind it. The image allegedly originated from a now-deleted post on Reddit. According to the internet chatter, the photo was shared by the boyfriend of a Gorilla Mind employee who—after the rapid spread of the image—was reportedly in hot water at work.

While the original post was quickly scrubbed, the image had already gone viral. This gives the rumor a significant weight of credibility; after all, why delete a fake leak? The company's quick action suggests the image was, indeed, real and revealed prematurely.

Why This Flavor Matters

The Red Gummy Fish flavor isn't just a sweet drink; it’s a cultural staple in the supplement industry.

• Filling a Void: If Gorilla Mind successfully launches this flavor, they stand to instantly capture a massive, ready-made market segment currently abandoned by a major competitor.

• Brand Statement: It’s an aggressive and strategic move that signals Gorilla Mind’s intent to compete directly for the most coveted and popular flavor profiles in the energy drink space.

What Happens Next?

Gorilla Mind has not yet made an official announcement confirming the new flavor, but the photographic evidence and the behind-the-scenes drama are hard to ignore.

For now, fans are waiting with bated breath. We’ll be keeping an eye out for an official product drop, but based on the intensity of the leak, it’s likely a matter of when, not if, the Gorilla Mind Fish energy drink hits the shelves.
