Tweaker Energy Drink Review

Sometimes you need a product like Tweaker to really see how far the energy drink market has come. This is a Red Bull clone no doubt, from its personalityless design and substandard twelve ounce can, this can just stares at you from the Dollar Tree shelf cowardly, ashamed of itself.

Of course I just assumed this was a Red Bull clone, but the first sip seals the deal- this is the exact flavor we have all had dozens if not hundreds of times before. Vanilla, apple and bubble gum explodes from the can, shrapnel piercing your poor palate with its curt disinterest. Your tastebuds burn in the metallic hell, sinking down to your gut and rotting through. On top of all that is a medicinal acidity, which remains deep inside every corner of your mouth long after you empty potable. On the good side, thirty nine grams of sugar and dextrose are responsible for the sweetness, and it is about the only balanced aspect within the thin aluminum walls. The typical syrupiness is no where to be found, washing off your tongue cleanly and without effort. But a fair saccharinity alone is not enough to rescue an experience, and that is certainly the case here.

There is 160 calories and only 114.6 milligrams of caffeine, along with some B vitamins, taurine, and inositol. The buzz is just hardly worth it after a taste like this, lasting about an hour and a half, and all those carbohydrates results in one rough sugar crash. Overall, Tweaker is an energy drink, but that is about all the positives I can muster.
