5-hour ENERGY Blue Raspberry Shot, 57mL, Case Purchase

The 5-hour ENERGY shot occupies a unique segment in the energy drink market. Unlike full-size canned energy drinks, the 57mL shot format is a no-frills caffeine delivery tool it does not pretend to be a beverage experience. Workers on shift, healthcare staff, long-distance drivers, tradespeople and anyone who needs alertness on demand without the volume or calories of a 250–500mL energy drink have made the 5-hour ENERGY shot one of the best-selling energy products in North America for well over a decade.

Blue Raspberry delivers the caffeine payload with a sharp, sweet-tart flavour that the brand's consumer base knows and repeats. The flavour profile keeps the shot palatable without requiring the sugar load common to older energy drink formats. The product contains B-vitamins (niacin, B6, B12) alongside the caffeine blend, contributing to the energy and focus effect the brand is known for. For operations supplying staff break rooms or vending machines, the recognisable flavour increases redemption rates compared to unfamiliar house-brand alternatives.

For food service operators, the case format is the only practical procurement unit. Retail single-unit pricing at grocery chains makes individual purchases uneconomical for resale. Purchasing by the case through a food service distributor like ChickenPieces gives you a per-unit cost that supports a margin at typical convenience or concession retail price points. The compact product size also means a single case stores in minimal shelf or display space relative to full-size energy drink cans.

Applications for the Blue Raspberry shot in food service and institutional settings include: workplace vending machines and honour-system snack stations in corporate offices; concession stands at arenas, sports facilities and events; gas beverage station and travel plaza food service counters; hospital and care facility staff break room supplies; and catering hospitality areas for long-running events or conferences where keeping staff or guests alert is a priority.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much caffeine does 5-hour ENERGY Blue Raspberry contain?

Each 57mL serving contains approximately 200mg of caffeine comparable to about two cups of coffee. This is the standard 5-hour ENERGY formulation, which differs from the Extra Strength version. Health Canada recommends that healthy adults consume no more than 400mg of caffeine per day. The product is not recommended for children, pregnant or nursing women, or individuals sensitive to caffeine.

Is it sugar-free?

Yes. 5-hour ENERGY is sugar-free and contains only a few calories per serving. This distinguishes it from many full-size energy drinks that contain 25–55 grams of sugar per can. For operators serving health-conscious customers or corporate wellness environments, the zero-sugar profile is a selling point worth communicating at point of display.

What is the shelf life and storage requirement?

5-hour ENERGY shots have a shelf life of approximately 24 months from manufacture when stored at room temperature away from direct heat and sunlight. No refrigeration is required before or after opening (the entire 57mL is a single serving). This long shelf life and no-cold-chain requirement makes them excellent for vending programs and high-turnover display stands.

How many bottles are in a case?

Standard cases contain 12 units. See the product listing for the current case configuration. Volume pricing is available for accounts purchasing multiple cases at a time contact us if your monthly volume is higher than a few cases to discuss pricing that reflects your order size.

Can I buy multiple 5-hour ENERGY flavours in a single order?

Yes. We stock the Blue Raspberry and Extra Strength variants and can fill mixed orders across flavours. For vending programs and display racks where variety drives sales volume, ordering multiple flavours simultaneously is common. Contact us to confirm current flavour availability and mixed-case pricing if applicable.

Is 5-hour ENERGY approved for sale in Canada?

Yes. 5-hour ENERGY is sold legally throughout Canada as an energy supplement. It is required to carry standard advisory labelling including a recommended daily caffeine limit and warnings for children, pregnant women and caffeine-sensitive individuals. All product we supply meets Canadian labelling and regulatory requirements.

Does ChickenPieces offer credit accounts for food service operators?

Yes. Trade accounts with net payment terms are available for qualifying food service businesses. Contact our accounts team with your business details to apply. Approved accounts receive invoiced billing on standard terms, which simplifies reconciliation for operators purchasing this product as part of a regular concession or vending supply cycle.

Are there any display or merchandising materials available with bulk orders?

Display availability depends on current promotions from the manufacturer. Contact us when placing a case order and we will check whether any POS display materials are available. For vending operators, the 57mL shot format fits standard small- coils and spiral selections without requiring custom tray modifications.
