Sunday Scaries Review

Written by Jason Brett — Edited by Cathy Rozyczko on February 9, 2021

The term ‘Sunday scaries’ has been around for a few years now, used mostly among partying young people. It describes the anxiousness faced by those who partied too hard, spent too much over the weekend, and are mentally and physically feeling the effects. It’s somewhat of a cultural phenomenon of specified anxiety, and a CBD company aptly named Sunday Scaries has the antidote!

Sunday Scaries founders Beau and Mike initially created CBD gummies for themselves to ease the apprehension of their ‘professional, moral, and financial hangovers’ and ‘impending doom of Monday’ after weekend blowouts. Before they arrived at their gummy formulation, they had experimented with other forms of CBD but found issues with prices and dosing. They, therefore, decided to bring an approachable, affordable CBD oil product to market to cure the Sunday scaries everywhere.

The brand’s marketing efforts are focused almost exclusively on CBD’s purported benefits in combating anxiety. The industrial hemp used in their CBD products is grown under organic protocols on U.S. farms in compliance with the 2018 Farm Bill. Sunday Scaries utilizes CO2 extraction, earning points for quality and sustainability.

The product line is focused and fun, featuring CBD tinctures, their flagship gummies, CBD candy, CBD energy shots, as well as bundles and subscriptions of said items. The CBD tinctures, gummies, and energy shots contain D3 and B12 as added active ingredients. Both have beneficial properties for enhancing mood and energy, respectively.

The Sunday Scaries CBD tinctures contain all-natural, quality ingredients we approve of. The CBD gummies are split into two segments: regular and ‘Vegan AF’. Both taste amazing but are packed with artificial flavors, FYI.

The most interesting CBD products in the Sunday Scaries lineup are the newest. The first are their CBD energy shots. They come in three flavors with some ingredients you’d expect — vitamins, ginseng, coffee beans — and a couple you don’t. The brand includes amino acids to boost both energy and peace of mind. 5-HTP is an amino acid that helps the body produce serotonin, and taurine is loaded with antioxidant properties. Since we’ve yet to see these ingredients in a CBD energy shot, Sunday Scaries gets the Innovation Badge!

The last product is what earns the company the Charity Badge. Their CBD candy that they call ‘Unicorn Jerky’ was created in honor of a fallen comrade. Sunday Scaries supports the Trevor Project with the proceeds, a nonprofit that focuses on suicide prevention. We think it’s super cool that the brand has found a way to memorialize a loved one, give people tasty CBD, and make a difference all at the same time.

Unfortunately, we cannot award the Safety Badge, but Sunday Scaries is somewhat close. They currently post cannabinoid profiles for every SKU along with a residual solvents test. To qualify, we’ll need to see results for pesticides, heavy metals, and microbiological impurities, too.

Bottom Line – The Sunday Scaries marketing angle is GENIUS. And the people and CBD products that anchor the brand are solid. Nothing scary here.
