For Spooky people who train through haunt season (like myself), Bucked Up just announced Halloween Pre-workout. Bucked Up already offers 5 levels of pre-workout, and the new Limi-Dead Edition gives each formula its own Halloween candy flavor: Peach Rings, Tiger’s Blood, Boo Berry, Sour Gummy, and a cranberry-orange Jacked-O’-Lantern. Plus, a caramel apple “Franken Juice” that runs across all five and, new this year, the Bucked Up Energy drink. It’s a limited seasonal run: once it sells through, it’s gone.
For more Halloween snacks and drinks this year, see the grocery list in our Fall and Halloween Fast Food 2026 guide.
The Six Flavors
Each Bucked Up formula gets its own candy flavor for the season:
- Bucked Up: Peach Rings, a peach gummy candy.
- Woke AF: Jacked-O’-Lantern, a cranberry orange.
- BAMF: Tiger’s Blood, strawberry coconut.
- LFG Burn: Boo Berry, blueberry.
- Mother Bucker: Sour Gummy, sour gummy candy.
The one that ties the whole drop together is Franken Juice, a caramel apple flavor. It is the only one that runs across all five pre-workouts, and this year it also lands in the Bucked Up Energy drink, the brand’s ready-to-drink can, which is the part of the launch that is new for 2026. By the brand’s flavor notes, it’s orchard apple up front, then a buttery caramel that takes over, finishing sweet rather than sour.
Same Formulas, New Flavors
Bucked Up, a Utah supplement company founded in 2016, makes pre-workouts, energy drinks, protein, and more. For the Limi-Dead Edition, the flavors are the costume, and the formulas underneath are unchanged. The lineup spans 200 to 400 milligrams of caffeine per serving depending on which pre-workout you reach for, so the stim level is the same as the everyday versions. These are dietary supplements and energy drinks, not candy. The brand’s energy, pump, and focus claims come with the standard FDA note that the products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
“Franken Juice has been a fan-favorite fall pre-workout flavor for years, so bringing it to our energy drink lineup for Halloween was a natural next step,” said Erin Bettner, Bucked Up’s chief marketing officer.
Where to Get It
The Limi-Dead Edition is a limited seasonal run, which is what “Limi-Dead” means, and once it sells through, it is gone. The release lists convenience stores, gas stations, and select fitness retailers, but as of September 23 the Limi-Dead flavors are sold only online at buckedup.com. Bucked Up normally stocks at big retail partners like GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, and Walmart, but the Halloween flavors have not shown up there or on Amazon. A tub of Woke AF in Jacked-O’-Lantern is $54.99, plus shipping.
Update, September 28: My own order took longer to arrive than Bucked Up says it should. I ordered a tub of Woke AF in Jacked-O’-Lantern from buckedup.com on Friday, September 11, for $54.99 plus $7.95 shipping. The shipping label was created September 12, but DHL’s tracking shows the package was not processed until September 18, when it left DHL’s eCommerce facility in Salt Lake City. It arrived September 26, 15 days after I ordered and two days after DHL’s estimated delivery date of September 24. Bucked Up’s help center says orders process within 1 to 3 business days and arrive 3 to 6 business days after they ship, and that weekend orders can take longer to process. Once an order ships, Bucked Up says it can’t make changes. I asked Bucked Up whether Limi-Dead orders are running behind, and it has not responded.
