Crystal Light Peach Mango Energy Drink Mix Review

Only the second of these Crystal Light energy drink mixes to be reviewed, they are being found now everywhere and inspiring numerous store knockoffs. Despite being found in clearance, the pretty orange box complements the clean logo and excited details. The powder transport is still too circumlocutory, but the color works wonderful against an all-white center.

Mixed with bottled spring water to avoid hard aqua contamination, the beverage is a faint and foggy, almost pulpy orange. Pheremonally inviting, the taste is not nearly as sprightly, uninterestingly sweet without much tartness. The peach is absolutely the better fruit, cutting in with a realistic edge that never distracts. The mango on the other hand, appearing latter in each sip, requires more than the supplied saccharinity, tasting awkward and off. Some opaque orange blurs the border between the two namesake, unemotional without tailored attention. It goes down without much problem, however the other nine sachets will be sitting there awhile.

The energy flowed through for not longer than two hours, a slow buzz that (intentionally?) pales in comparison to most other drinks. The ingredient cocktail is 120 mg of caffeine and some B vitamins; an unremarkable finish to an overall unnoteworthy drink mix.

Crystal Light Grape Energy Drink Mix Review

From Crystal Light, this grape flavoured drink mix gets its point across, telling consumers about its dirty habit of containing caffeine and the likes, but the sachet that holds the powder is a bit too verbose. There is no reason to say "energy releasing B vitamins," or really even mention the actual flavour, considering there is not only a picture of the fruit, but the top and bottom tip are purple.

The pretty colour of the box did not translate to the drink itself, being much more of dull bluish purple. The flavour, however, is shockingly stark, kicking one's teeth with a potent sweetness and strong tartness. The two give the dumbly simple grape taste a great candied quality, even with purely artificial sugars and usual subsequent aftertaste, the fruit feels right at home within both the amateur complexity and counterfeit saccharinity. The latter bites the back of one's throat, pinching it with an equally asinine cloyingness that surprisingly does not make the experience an unenjoyable one, and actually, Crystal Light Grape is a bit of a guilty pleasure.

There is 120 milligrams of caffeine and some B vitamins, a truly unexciting blend that was probably deliberate, with the consumer base probably not accustomed to larger amounts, at least in their eyes. The kick was two and a half hours long, being rather generous. All in all, Crystal Light Grape Energy Drink Mix feels more like an introductory course to energy drinks rather than actually being one.
