No matter what Ghost wants you to believe, Sour Patch Kids are for kids, and have absolutely no place being featured on such an adult potable. Oh sure, it is not like it is alcoholic or anything, but children should not have the opportunity to even consider something like this.
Its can is OK, full of pizazz and spectacle but its shrink-wrapped label feels bad in the hand. My copy happens to be dented, which makes the wrinkles all the more obvious.
The potation pours out gold and not crimson, despite what the front of the design would lead you to think. I threw back the aluminum box and took a sip, and honestly, I will give Ghost credit where credit is due. This tastes like Sour Patch Candy in liquid form. From the tartness to the slight toothsome texture, every imbibe is everything you would expect from the wacky pairing of caffeine and candy. That does not make it any good mind you, as sixteen ounces is far too much for an experience who decides sour and sugariness is all an energy drink needs. It weighs you down by your third or fourth gulp, as your tongue realizes something your eyes noticed a long time ago: "redberry" here refers to no specific fruit. What your palate identifies as strawberry and raspberry rest on the palate without the complexity to support such persuasive levels of acid and sweetness.
200 milligrams of caffeine should be enough for most energy drink junkies, providing a very solid three hour long buzz. Other ingredients include taurine, extracts, vitamins and some other supplements. In the end, Ghost Redberry Sour Patch Kids achieves its basic primary objective with minimal overall effort.
