While he might forever wear a timepiece around this neck, Flavor Flay appreciates that making the most of every hour is vital. It is more than just seizing the moment or being the best hype man in the business. This year, Flavor Flay and 5-Hour Energy are ready to keep the day moving one hour at a time.
The seasonal time changes elicit a big response. While lawmakers might try to legislate changes to the concept, the springing forward has a bigger impact than following the rules. People find that change often leaves them feeling a little less energized.
This year, 5-Hour Energy has created 1-Hour Energy to avoid any of those slumps. The fast fix is just enough to get people back on track and ready to tackle anything and everything on the schedule. The special .05-ounce bottle is just the little pick me up.
For the second year in a row, 5-Hour Energy is partnering with Flavor Flay to bring the big time energy to a day where everyone feels like they are dragging. On Monday, March 10, 2025, the hype team will be handing out bottles of the 1-Hour Energy.
Ahead of the big promotion, Flavor Flay graciously answered some questions about this 5-Hour Energy Partnership and his thoughts on Daylight Savings Time.
The struggle with Daylight Savings Time is real. It might only be 60 minutes, the difference feels like an eternity. Some people can be crabby, sluggish, or otherwise disengaged. Others appear totally unaffected by the loss of an hour.
When asked about his approach to handing the Daylight Savings Time dilemma, Flavor Flay said, “I do have a positive mindset to keep energized. And that’s what I wake up with – a positive mindset! And that’s what energizes me throughout the day.”
As people have come to know, Flavor Flay appreciates that good vibes can and do make a difference. Whether it is cheering on the Team USA Women’s Water Polo team or just having a great, vocal friend in your corner, everyone appreciates that embracing the moment can and does make a difference.
When the time change happens, some people reflect on living in the moment. That loss of an hour might not seem like a lot, but seizing the day is more than a line in an old school poem. It is about choosing to live.
When asked how he lives every hour to its fullest, Flavor Flay said, “This is a great question. All I do is LIVE. I just try to use each second to my best value and try to make the best out of each second. Each minute that passes is one that you will never get back – so you have to try to always make the best. So that is how I live.”
Anyone who knows of Flavor Flay appreciates that he is and will always be himself. People do not have to agree or disagree with that perspective or choices, but his ability to embrace his uniqueness is a lesson that more people might want to embody.
One aspect to his persona is his signature fashion. Although others might choose to borrow that “timely” style, he is truly his unique self.
When asked about his fashion perspective, Flavor Flay said, “I feel my fashion approach that can work in any and every situation. There are a lot of fashion styles out there right now that I brought to the table – so I know that my style fits and it will last.”
While his style will last, time is fleeting. This year, make the most of Daylight Savings Time and grab a 1-Hour Energy. Time will wait for no one.
