After World War II, Maugham made his home in south of France and continued to move between England and Nice till his death in 1965. He travelled all over the world, and made many visits to America. In this context, his plain prose style was criticized as 'such a tissue of clichés' that one's wonder is finally aroused at the writer's ability to assemble so many and at his unfailing inability to put anything in an individual way.ĭuring World War I, Maugham worked for the British Secret Service. Maugham wrote at a time when experimental modernist literature such as that of William Faulkner, Thomas Mann, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf was gaining increasing popularity and winning critical acclaim. For ten years before his first success, he almost literally starved while pouring out novels and plays. His parents died early and, after an unhappy boyhood, which he recorded poignantly in Of Human Bondage, Maugham became a qualified physician. He spoke French even before he spoke a word of English, a fact to which some critics attribute the purity of his style. The deficiencies in texture may be too much of a turn off for some, so I only feel comfortable recommending this drink to fans of the other Venom products or people who like fruity energy drinks.William Somerset Maugham was born in Paris in 1874. I’ve come to learn that the can/bottles I used to be infatuated with are worthless pieces of metal that only work half of the time and aren’t reliable enough to trust in a backpack or computer bag. That said, I do enjoy it more than the original drink thanks to the accurate mango flavor. Killer Taipan is definitely a step down from Death Adder, the fruit punch variation of the drink. It’s not the best deal out there, but it’s a bit of value none-the-less. 9 oz is to be had over the leading industry standard-priced competitor. As is the case with all Venom drinks, a value of. In terms of value, Killer Taipan comes in a slick 2 serving, 16.9 oz can/bottle hybrid for $1.99. I didn’t notice any crash, but I just wish the kick had stayed with me for about an hour or so longer. About an hour and half later, however, I was back to regular old, energyless me. About 25 minutes after downing my bottle I felt absolutely fantastic. The sad thing, though, is that the kick seems to run out as quickly as it came. Yeah, like getting bitten by a deadly Killer Taipan. All in all the drink has a great flavor and a not so great texture.Īs far as kick goes, Venom hits fast and hard. After each drink you may notice your mouth is slightly dry, but at least there is no aftertaste to deal with. The mango flavor is right on, and the flavor is very refreshing and extremely satisfying. Ignoring the carbonation issue, the flavor of the drink is astounding, albeit a little bit bit too sweet. The first sip yields a very enjoyable mango flavor that is marred by over carbonation that you won’t easily get used to. It’s one of those scents that really gets your mouth watering thanks to the subtle sourness, a trait which I’ve noticed to be commonly shared between all Venom drinks. When twisting the metal cap off the aluminum bottle you will be hit with a powerfully sweet, slightly tangy and kind of sour aroma that seems very heavily artificial, but is appetizing none the less. The Venom Potency Pack has a powerful does of taurine, glucuronolactone, L-carnitine and guarana, giving it piercing energy that strikes back. When you want cold-blooded clarity and the quick energy to strike when the time is right, you need the potent Venom of the Killer Taipan, delivered in mesmerizing Mango. I’ve known about this drink’s existence for a fairly long time, since some time during the spring college semester of 2009, and have actually had it a few times before. It’s been a while since I’ve had any drinks from the Venom Energy lineup of drinks, so today I decided to pick up a can of Killer Taipan, a mango flavored supplement from Venom.
