How long does Bang’s effect last?

Bang contains around 300 milligrams of caffeine, which is enough to get you up. Caffeine takes 10-30 minutes to kick in. Caffeine usually stays in your system for 10-12 hours but its effects wear off within 4-6 hours.

You will feel a higher heart rate and breathing after gulping a can of Bang energy followed by feeling less fatigue and enhanced focus.

How long does Bang energy take to have an effect?

Bang takes 10-30 minutes to show its effects. The caffeine from Bang energy drink remains at the peak level in your bloodstream for a while. Even after 6 hours, there is still half of the caffeine in your system.

When you drink Bang energy, the caffeine in it increases the dopamine levels in your brain. Dopamine is a hormone that controls emotions and mobility. As the signaling increases, your body feels more awake and alert.

Are 300 milligrams of Caffeine safe to consume?

Every person has a different reaction to caffeine based on their age, health condition, and sensitivity. Although it is impossible to collect data on every person, FDA suggests that 400 milligrams of caffeine per day are the safe limit. If you drink more than this you can face the following health issues:

  • Headaches
  • Dehydration
  • Jitters
  • Irregular heartbeat
  • Hypertension
  • Nausea
  • Anxiety

Drinking a can of bang energy means you have consumed 300 milligrams of caffeine in mere seconds or minutes. If you are not an accustomed energy drink consumer 300 mg can be too overwhelming.

Bang is adorned with a list of warnings on its label for the awareness of consumers. These warnings are as follows

  • Bang energy is not suited for those under the age of 18.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding should not drink Bang energy drink.
  • If you are on any prescription medication or have a medical condition, you should not drink this product.
  • Bang includes 300 mg of caffeine, and using it with other products that contain caffeine is not recommended.
  • Too much caffeine “may induce uneasiness, irritation, insomnia, and, rarely, fast pulse”, according to a warning on BANG cans.
  • This product is only meant for use by healthy people.

How long does Bang last unopened?

Bang energy can last up to 6-9 months or even years when unopened. Like any other canned product.

Depending on how they were stored, energy drinks last for several years after their “sell by” date. Drinks may survive for many years and still taste great if they are stored in a cold, dark environment.

Depending on the ingredients used, if an energy drink does go bad, it won’t be as dangerous as it will begin to break down. The drink will ultimately taste flat because part of the CO2 (the fizz in the drink) will be lost.

Bang energy is essentially an extensively caffeinated energy drink with additional compounds that take a very, very long time to degrade.

Does Bang energy go bad?

Bang energy does not go bad as long as it is stored under optimal conditions.

It is a common practice to store unopened energy drinks in a dry and cool space so that they last till their expiration date or even more than that. But if you have opened your Bang energy drink then it is recommended to keep them refrigerated and away from heat or sunlight exposure.

If you are drinking from an unopened can that you’ve stored for some days check for any leaking or rusting before consumption. And if you are purchasing Bang energy drinks in bulk, check the cans for dents, leakages, or discoloration. Avoid buying and drinking such cans.

How do you know if Bang energy has gone bad?

You can taste an undesirable flavor and an unpleasant odor if a can of Bang energy goes bad. But it is very rare.

From what I have experienced, Bang energy retains its taste and quality if kept under appropriate conditions.

Every can of bang energy drink has a “Best before date” which refers to the time and date when the energy drink will start to lose its quality and its ingredients will start to break down. Although there will be no change in its caffeine content, the fizz will dissipate and the vitamins and other nutrients will lose their potency.

Can you drink an open can of Bang energy the next day?

Yes, you can drink from the open can the next day but only if it was stored in a safe place.

If you let a can of Bang energy sit in for weeks, it may start to taste gross and its vitamins, bubble, and fizz may also start to dissipate and break down. But the caffeine content will remain the same.

Caffeine in energy drinks is the same in your regular cups of coffee. But does coffee loses its effect when kept on the shelf for days? No, it does not.

The same goes for Bang energy drink. No matter how long you leave the sealed bang energy can in the refrigerator you will still feel the same energy boost from it.

How long can I leave a Bang energy drink Open?

Leaving Bang energy open for a while can be acceptable.

I wouldn’t keep it exposed to the air at ambient temperature for more than a few hours because by that time it will likely be rather flat. Insects also enjoy sugar, so if you leave it out in the wrong area, you might find ants and cockroaches in your can.
