Lost began in 1985 when Matt Biolos and a bunch of school friends were into snowboarding at Mt. Baldy, skateboarding at the Pipeline in Upland, and surfing in Dana Point. They did not care too much about if they lost or won these contests or games, and eventually formed a group called "team lost."  This little group grew into a cultural empire, with merchandise, clothes and athletes.

Lost does not make energy drinks. Hansen makes energy drinks, and they just slapped their label on them and Hansen has yet another drink to stock the shelves with. Their Varieties include Lost Energy (Monster Energy equivalent), Lost Five-O (Monster Khaos equivalent), Lost Big Gun (Monster Assault equivalent), and Lost Perfect 10 (Monster Lo-Cal equivalent).

Buzz/Nutrition:6
Ingredients: The basic stuff is in here,with 50% juice. So is it healthy? Not even. It is a basic energy drink with a little more nutrient value. It also has L-carnitine, panax ginseng root extract, maltodextrin, cyanocobalamin and caffeine from Guarana. 140 calories in the can is about usual for Energy juices - but you would not mistake this one for a healthy beverage.
Taste:6
This lightly carbonated juice has a tangerine orange supersweet artificial flavor to it. Nothing special. I would say this tasted almost just like monster Khaos - big surprise. There is a little difference, but not enough to choose one over another.
Packaging:8
With everything from fish bones, a spiderweb, grenade, and skull on the can, this is the reason to buy this can. Fantastic art scribbled everywhere - so even the innapropriate girly pinup work is hidden in a mass of confusion. I could have done without the "Down with the system" messaging, as Hansen is the system - like george bush giving the Black Panther Salute - it is just too hypocritical.
