Bob Ross Positive Energy Drink Review

For whatever reason, the folks at Boston America Corp. felt that the famously restraint, calm TV painter Bob Ross would be perfect for an energy drink. Though they get points for the wordplay ("positive energy" drink), the can is an awful shrink wrapped product, feeling cheap in your palm and looking just as bad- hell, the label is not even on straight!

Your first sip is pure sugar, thanks to an excessive forty grams of high fructose corn syrup. The addition of some synthetic sweeteners could have rescued the desensitizing saccharine exploit, though their primary achievement would be to stiffen the mouthfeel. The texture is loose, slimy, clumping up towards the rear of your throat and coating your palate and teeth with a pale blue hue that is sure to result in your dentist's disapproval. The actual flavor is a playful blend of blue raspberry, citrus and vanilla, almost like a candied Red Bull clone. But that brings us back to the fundamental obstacle here, and that is the sugariness. Each gulp hits you with a quick blast from the empty carbohydrates, and this cheap sweetness is all you will end up tasting for the rest of the day.

Each can contains a sluggish 100 milligrams of caffeine, which is less than ideal for a twelve ounce energy drink. Other ingredients include B vitamins, ginseng, guarana, inositol and taurine. The developing buzz lasts about an hour, though it honestly appears more as a crazy sugar rush than anything. To end, Bob Ross Positive Energy Drink contains no happy little trees. Just sugar.
