Slasher-Inspired Energy Products

G Fuel Debuted the Hack ‘n Slash Collector’s Box for Halloween

The Hack ‘n Slash Collector’s Box is a new release from energy drink maker G Fuel that speaks to fans of classic horror films with branding that features Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th. Within the collector's box, fans will find a 40-serving Energy Tub in the new Hack ‘n Slash flavor (citrus fruit punch,) as well as a 24-ounce G Fuel x Friday the 13th Tall Stainless Steel Shaker Cup.

The formula for enhancing energy, focus and endurance speaks to the specific needs of gamers with a sugar-free, performance-driven alternative to the usual energy drinks. In contrast to the dark, chilling packaging that promises to catch the eyes of film buffs as well as gamers, the flavor shares a delightful experience of grapefruit, lime, orange, lemon, passionfruit, tangerine and blood orange.
