SUMMARY

There’s one thing that most grunts carry with them that is equally as important and essential — the Rip It! Yes, the freakin’ energy drink!

Bullets, frags, and a bayonet are just a few pieces of heavy gear infantrymen haul on patrol while in a combat zone. But there's one thing that most grunts carry with them that is equally as important and essential — the Rip It! Yes, the freakin' energy drink! Rip It has been a military staple for years because of these five epic reasons.

Here are 5 reasons why Rip It is the go-to energy drink for infantrymen

1. They come in small sizes

A grunt typically carries 80 - 150 pounds of gear when they're hunting down the bad guys. So the last thing anyone wants to haul is a bulky energy drink can in their cargo pocket. Rip It comes in 8 fluid ounce cans for easy storage.

How awesome is that, right?

Go ahead, take a moment to look at their beauty.

2. Increased physical performance

Ground pounders need to be as athletic as possible when they're running from compound-to-compound taking down ISIS fighters. Rip It comes with Vitamin C, Guarana Seed Extract, and a sh*t ton of caffeine to make any infantryman extra motivated while they're kicking down doors.

3. You get mad focus

There's nothing more important to a grunts than mental focus while engaging targets. The super-charged energy drink will have anyone grunt seeing through ISIS' lies and their fortified position in no time (experiences may vary, but you're pretty damn focused).

4. They're freakin' delicious

Although drinking water is critical, that sh*t can get boring real quick. Rip It comes in a variety of flavors like "3-way," "G-Force," and the "Bomb." Each flavor could be paired nicely with your favorite MRE. That's what we call good eatin'.

Just some delicious Rip It variety.

5. Intimidation and a pre-workout

From personal experience, the enemy often becomes terrified of their American enemy when aggressively pursued. Rip It is commonly used as a pre-workout drink for when infantrymen are looking to get those deployment gains.

A jacked Marine or soldier going up against a skinny ISIS fighter = easy freakin' day.
