Juice Monster Strawberry Lemonade Energy Drink Review

There is likely some audience for a patriotic energy drink, but in today's climate, why take that chance? Just produce a potent potable all people would feel comfortable purchasing, but then again I what do I know? I have only been reviewing these things for over a decade. The can itself is pleasant enough, with a monster truck, woman in a bikini, an eagle wearing gun glasses and a bandanna, and my personal favorite, a ripped George Washington on a motorcycle. You might call it a white can; I call it white trash.

At least the taste is pretty good. Pretty damn good, actually. While neither piece of produce achieves a level of verisimilitude found in nature, its simplicity is refreshing in an age of constant caffeinated evolution. The berry brings with it sweetness, a fruity reprieve from the sometimes harsh acidic bite of the citrus. But this sourness is able to withstand the fifty one gram onslaught of carbohydrates, lingering just long enough in the back of your tongue, refreshed with every subsequent sip. Sugar, glucose and sucralose steer the sweetness, there are forty seven grams of the sweet stuff after all, and if you can ignore the little doctor angel on your shoulder, they do provide a really good texture. It is weighted without being heavy, toothsome without becoming gritty. But we should really talk about juice: what little we actually have comes to us from apple and lemon- that is right, strawberry, despite receiving top-billing, is nothing but a "natural flavor." And yet that is not the best part: what is is how we get just five percent nectar, despite a whopping 200 calories. Obesity is the American way, after all.

I really wish we had more than 160 milligrams of caffeine, but that is just the world we live in. Taurine, inositol, vitamins, etc., are all here in standard measure, but come on, this is the country's birthday, do you not think we need a little extra oomph to celebrate?

Diabolo Loco French Lemonade Energy Drink Review

Quite a few years ago I discovered a little beverage brand named "Diabolo Loco," a mint flavored energy drink. Now, the brand is back and with another flavor, this time French Lemonade. But what the hell makes this so "French" is beyond me and my Googling powers, considering the company is from California.

Things are less French and more mint, a wonderful, slight chilling effect that soothes a parched palate as satisfyingly as it quenches it. There is just the right amount of acid here, the fresh citrus taste puckers your lips as a good lemonade should. Sweetness, from seven grams of cane sugar, with backup from ace-k and sucralose, is another nice touch, slightly grainy to the tooth- and it helps any artificial aftertaste is lost in the pool of minty freshness. Effervescence helps keep the many sips afloat, enhancing drinkability and elevating this citrus Diabolo to pretty lofty heights.

A novel thing about the back of the can is how they lists out every supplement's quantity- I don't really care about how much "inositol" each serving has, but whoever out there who does will be happy. All I care about is the 160 milligrams of caffeine. Overall, there is a fun time to be had drinking Diabolo Loco French Lemonade.

Rockstar Pure Zero Lemonade Energy Drink Review

This bright yellow can is uninteresting, a simple paint job on the bland Rockstar design template. And its flavor, Zero Calorie Lemonade, is a confusing one; how is this different, without decent research, from the company's existing Recovery Lemonade and Recovery Tea & Lemonade varieties?

The lemonade is sweet and sour, and its effervescence is crusty and laconic; this certainly is not one of the popular "recovery" energy lemonades. The biting carbonation helps elevate each sip, but it fails to escape its waist-watching sweeteners and their lack of honest weight on the tongue. Erythritol, ace-k and sucralose is the threesome of calorie-free honeys, who's only impressive characteristic is their lack of artificial bite. Lemon juice concentrate, two percent of it, help give a bit of naturalism to every candied sip, but it is not enough to aid the pale texture to the tongue; each imbibe is painfully diet with no pulpy mouthfeel.

Each can contains: B vitamins, taurine, inositol, ginseng, guarana, and 240 milligrams of caffeine. The buzz, a fairly standard formulation the brand occasionally makes use of, is the best thing here, and nearly warrants the fairly inexpensive $1.50 paid.

Sprecher Charged Lemonade Original Energy Drink Review

The can is a weird one, a naked aluminum can with its label stickered on, all while sporting some astonishingly low-rent (and res) images of lemons. It is so wild that, when first spotted at my local dollar store, I thought this was some cheap canned juice instead of an energy drink- oh I am sorry, I meant "caffeinated sparkling drink."

It has been a long time since a straight-up lemonade, let alone one using caloric sugars, has graced The Caffeine King, and yet Sprecher's failings has nothing to do with its respect to the citrus and absolutely everything to do with the absolute dearth of a proper effervescence. When I see the word "sparkling," I expect a carbonation to punch my palate through my teeth, damaging my roots and all, and yet this is about as still an experience as your grandma's pitcher of freshly squeezed lemonade. That is a shame not only because of the broken promises, but also because the actual flavor is fabulous! Now, I am a pushover for flavors like this, but the presence of real juice concentrate brings a level of freshness to every sip, while the use of high fructose corn syrup, and all its syrupiness, helps add a certain innocence to things, like something a child would sip on on the hottest day of the year. It is just such a shame the bubbles are as leaden as, well, actual lead.

All we get is 140 milligrams of caffeine, which is, I dunno, fine, I suppose. I wish there was something here a little stronger to help curb off all the empty calories, and resulting sugar rush, but actually, it does not matter. It is not like it would have staved off the mediocrity.

Sunshine Blueberry Lemonade Energy Drink Review

The next Sunshine variety, Blueberry Lemonade, has far more potential than some of its predecessors, if only for the more promising flavor. Its blue and white can strikes a better balance of of functionality and sophistication than most of these "mature" energy drinks. You know, the ones that do not advertise themselves to rock stars or athletes.

The flavor here is completely solid, if not a touch generic. There is some terrific sourness to the blueberry, giving it a very "juice" quality, for a drink that is zero percent juice. Any lemonade is buried deep beneath the aforesaid acidity, but the grin of the citrus favorite is breaks through during the libation's tartness, brightening the otherwise dull indigo fruit. Cane sugar and Stevia sweeten things here, and fifteen grams of the saccharine stuff is just enough to keep the calories low and prevent the zero calorie sugar from perverting the beverage with its trademark nastiness. For eight ounces, the simplistic taste is refreshingly easy to drink.

Each can contains B vitamins and fifty milligrams of caffeine, so it is a modest kick at best. But in the world of high powered potations, many available on the same shelf as this, it can be hard justifying paying the same for a smaller and weaker energy drink- regardless of taste.

Rockstar Recovery Strawberry Lemonade Energy Drink Review

Rockstar is a brand that even I, someone who writes about energy drinks weekly, cannot keep up with. Is this a new variety? Gee I hope so, otherwise I am just wasting time. Visually, the can is a mess, with words, colors and images all flying in different directions that it is impossible to get even the foggiest idea what this is supposed to be. Did you know this is non-carbonated? No? Yeah me neither.

Utilizing coconut water was smart on behalf of Rockstar, as it gives mouthfuls some body seldom seen in a sugar free energy drink. Well, I say "sugar free" but in reality we have about a gram here, no doubt from the three percentage of juice, so do not go holding me accountable on such a technicality. For actual flavor we do in fact taste strawberry but very little lemonade, in fact we have only the faintest faction of citrus, a vague fruitiness that contributes acidity and almost nothing else. But it is not bad! Sips are pleasant enough, never exactly complex, but its under-demanding nature bodes well with the otherwise flat effervescence, crafting something passively engaging.

160 milligrams of caffeine, the only real reason to consume a potent potable, is hardly doing it now-a-days. Sure, you get that usual two or so hour long buzz, but so what? So many stronger cocktails exist that such a lackadaisical elixir is lacking. Overall, Rockstar Recovery Strawberry Lemonade does its job then goes home, which is exactly what I am gonna do.

True North Grapefruit Lemonade Energy Seltzer Review

True North energy seltzer hails from Michigan, so at least the name makes sense from a geological point of view. But as a potent potable? Less so. Its appearance, textured and twelve ounces, looks more like an alcoholic spritzer than anything caffeinated.

Upon cracking open the can, a wonderfully scent seeps out; an odor free of chemical influence and instead like something fresh from the farmer's market. The flavor is, well, it is a seltzer that is for sure, but it is impressive once we look at the facts. Most important is how there are no sweeteners, diet or otherwise; all the supplements inside are kept in-check, never sullying sips with its herbal funk. Perhaps any nasty aftertaste is lost in the sea of harsh bubbles that cascade onto the tongue, beating and bruising your palate as it makes its way down the hatch. You know, like any seltzer. As for flavor, well it is allegedly grapefruit lemonade, but anyone who frequents such soda substitutes should be instantly familiar with its overall mildness. The only way to properly describe it is containing the essence of the fruits, both present but combined with the aforesaid terse effervescence and the experience's aquatic torrent, your tastebuds have little to actually work with. The nectars bring some welcome acidity but little else, like, well, you know, a seltzer.

With 125 milligrams of caffeine, the buzz here is just OK. Considering the flavor was generally genial, I am OK with it being so OK. Other ingredients include guarana, B vitamins, and ginseng. On the whole, True North Grapefruit Lemonade should be just fine for those waiting for LaCroix energy.

Kill Cliff Berry Legit Lemonade Energy Drink Review

Kill Cliff's antiquated edginess was not what caught my attention; that honor goes to the text on the back of the can. Immediately following the word "suck" reads "damn," and I dunno, maybe my third-grader humor had taken over me, but the sight of expletives made me chortle enough for the can to end up in my cart at the local food market.

There is a reason the flavor works so well here, but let us save that for later. The real star of the experience is the acidity, a fun, innocent sourness that brings your tongue back to the days of gorging candy by the bagful. It teases the edge of of your lips, and they use all their might to not curl, but even the most mighty of muscles submit to its charm. This tartness carries all twelve of the available ounces, the single feature separating this from just any energy drink. Lemon is the chief fruit, rocking every sip with its gentle presence, giving reason for the aforesaid tang to be on your tongue. The berry, on the other hand, is just an answer to a trivia question, having no bearing on what makes Kill Cliff such a joy to gulp. Composed mostly of black and raspberries, it is a static cocktail that impersonates depth for the sake of nuance- it has no right being here.

Here is the bad news, and no doubt why the flavor is so pleasant- we have just twenty five milligrams of caffeine. It makes for one of the weaker kicks in recent memory, lasting just less than an hour. Other ingredients include: B vitamins, ginger root, green tea, and ginseng. To end, Kill Cliff Berry Legit Lemonade is not legit enough, and by the time we get to the buzz, just quits.

Monster Rehab Tea + Lemonade Review

2021 is the year of revamps, with Monster touching up their Tea + Lemonade Rehab flavor. The can is a stark contrast to the original's distracted, murky visuals in favor of a bright, bold demonstration of how to tell the consumer a lot of information with minimal text.

These re-reviews are done without the older potable for comparison, but my tongue likes what it tastes today. Tartness hits your palate right out of the gate, a sourness that complements the obvious citrus presence. The acidity does not linger, leaving your tastebuds shortly after its initial introduction, refreshed once you lift the can up for your next sip. Sweetness, the same three grams found in the original, picks up to balance things out thusly, achieved via glucose, sucralose and ace-k. For the actual flavor, it is all that little yellow fruit all the time, the tea, black tea, making its appearance in the form of an earthy bite, the climax of the experience who is a bit too tame and timid to really push the potation into the realm of a proper prepared Arnold Palmer. Still, it quenched a thirst I did not think I had, and as summer approaches, fans will no doubt lap up this lemony libation.

The bad news is the reduction in caffeine, from 170 to the current 160. It is mind-boggling that they would hyphen the whole point of an energy drink, but alas, here we are. Other ingredients include: B vitamins, taurine, l-carnitine, inositol, and milk thistle. Expect a two hour kick, nothing more to really say about it.

UpTime White Peach Lemonade Energy Drink Review

It has been three years since we last saw them, but UpTime returns to the world renowned Caffeine King, sporting a largely identical can. Its height and heft not only feels wonderful in your hand but also stands out amongst the other potent potables in store chill chests, although the design does have a bit too much text towards the nethermost portion. However, my local gas station did not have UpTime with the other energy drinks, and the peculiar metallic construction had me gloss over it once or twice before noticing that, yes, this is an energy drink.

Your first sip is a fun one, with cane sugar, the only sweetener on patrol today, giving imbibes a weight that diet honeys can only dream of delivering. The mouthfeel is airy and foamy, as if featuring nitrous carbonation, with the thousands of little tiny bubbles gently pushing away from the surface of your tongue. Acidity is another highmark, a sourness just strong enough to remind your tastebuds that this is a lemonade, not demand it. The actual flavor is light, a barely present combination of peach and lemon, a tempered twosome where both pieces of produce give the other time to passively dominate the experience. The fuzzy nectarine engulfs the palate with its pointed sweetness, before collapsing to the tart citrus, eliminating the sugary bite so that things end with an acerbic finish. It is not a perfect potation, sometimes sipping too nonchalantly for its own good, but there are few faults to taste.

Energy-wise, UpTime disappoints. 142 milligrams of caffeine, ginseng, vitamin C, and some others make up the ingredient cocktail, but it is not enough in today's market of super-stiff supplement stews.

Mtn Dew AMP Game Fuel Zero Charged Raspberry Lemonade Energy Drink Review

I do not even want to write the entire name again, but the job demands it; this is Mtn Dew AMP Game Fuel Zero Charged Raspberry Lemonade. It is a tedious branding that confuses fans of the two soft drink labels and shows no interest in keeping the aluminum walls easy to read. Text is sporting too many fonts, sizes, and orientations, and the entire can design is deadened on the eyes.

Cracking open the resealable cap unveils how mistaken things are, with its namesake fruits feeling confused not just to the nose but also on the tongue. The aroma is very soda-like, offering little reason for your tastebuds to eagerly await your first sip; this is not something you would want a candle to be scented of. Medicinal is the perfect way to describe the flavor, one offering neither the raspberry or lemonade tastes from resembling anything other than fleeting nuance to an otherwise sickly and synthetically sweet swarm of sips. Aspartame, ace-k and sucralose are the trilogy of artificial sugars in charge here, and they are expressionless in their execution. Gulp after gulp is sugary for the sake of the fake sugars, not for the benefit of the fruits involved or in favor of the drinker. There is no strong citric acidity either, which could have help curb the tenacious false honeys, or at least bring purpose here. As it stands, this is not a fun time.

B vitamins, l-theanine, and ninety milligrams of caffeine is all we get for energy, and the buzz is a weak hour long one. Overall, Mtn Dew AMP Game Fuel Zero Charged Raspberry Lemonade sucks; that is all there is to it.

Arnold Palmer Natural Energy Drink Review

How this version of Arizona's Arnold Palmer energy is any different from their previous Drive version is beyond me, aside from the obvious can redesign. It looks better now, emphasising its caffeine content and less to explaining what an "Arnold Palmer" is (the original can felt the need to list "half iced" and "half lemonade," as if the cocktail hasn't been around for almost sixty years). But the label is shrinkwrapped on the can; holding the can is unsatisfying.

Whether the taste has changed since my original review remains a mystery, but the flavor remains just as banal as initially described. There is a flood of sourness to every non-carbonated sip, washing the palate of the former gulp's sting of tea, a slight earthiness that climaxes each quaff. Ten percent juice does little for the flavor, a mostly acidic beverage with the bite of lemonade but without the taste of the lemon. Real sugar, thirteen grams, and Stevia sweeten the experience, but imbibes have the mouthfeel of corn syrup and never taste bitter like the zero-calorie sugar can. Everything here gives the impression of an honest "Arnold Palmer," but the restrictions of mass-produced canned potations put quite the damper on flavor.

Every can contains caffeine (120 milligrams), B vitamins, green tea, guarana, vitamin C, quercetin, and vitamin E. The buzz is bland, lasting an hour and a half and never giving me the urge to play golf.

Mtn Dew Spiked Lemonade Review

What is the point of Mtn Dew Spiked? It calls itself "spiked," but not with alcohol but with prickly pear juice- a more appropriate name would be "Mtn Dew Contains," with following text that reads "contains prickly pear juice. Its can is quite attractive, despite its company history, however, the text begins to coagulate towards the bottom of the can.

The taste is astonishingly pleasant, its terse lemon flavor explodes out of the can and onto our palate, with the pear introducing an earthy underbelly to the experience. The trademark of a good lemonade is that little sweetness that builds in the back of your throat as you sip, and this Spiked variety nails that. Thanks to sugar, agave syrup, and stevia, saccharinity avoids the pitfalls of the Mtn Dew-trademark syrupiness and stevia's organic bitterness. Utilizing actual lemon juice, as well as the can-publicized prickly pear, there is surprising depth to this cloudy yellow elixir. But carbonation here is a dud, even on first sip my tongue was completely unimpressed. Its listless effervescence is a massive letdown; this is a flavor with moxie and verve, one that demands its bubbles to be as brisk.

Calories clocks in at 140, more than the brand's Kickstart line, but not unheard of for a sixteen ounce drink. Caffeine comes in at a modest seventy two milligrams, an unfortunately low amount. In the end, Mtn Dew Spiked Lemonade is a tasty drink, but there are a few execution errors that prevent it from being a home run.

Realtree Outdoors Hydration Pink Lemonade Energy Drink Review

This dull pink can is one of the better in the line since the redesign that shucked the unique twist-off top for a conventional pull-tab. But one cannot help but wonder if this is simply a repackaging of their previous Pink Lemonade, though with all the misfires of that drink I surely hope they modified the flavor. But instead of reading "not for city girls," this new design reads "I love country girls;" finally, something I can agree with on one of these imbecilic outdoor beverages.

There is slightly less sugar than the previous variety, though just two grams, but being all high fructose corn syrup the reduction is welcome (sucralose is on backup). The saccharinity is strong but never overwhelming, and although its syrupy mouthfeel leaves much to be desired, its slight thickening in the back of the palate give the illusion the pulpy textural nuance of home-squeezed citrus summertime favorite. Its tartness is another element to praise, a sharper acidity than most canned lemonades, a sourness almost overwhelmingly puckering. Whether or not it is any better than the brand's previous attempt is irrelevant; it still tastes good.

Each can contains: taurine, caffeine, and B vitamins. The kick is woeful, lasting two hours, though if there was a bright side, it would be the lack of a crash. In the end, Realtree Outdoors Hydration Pink Lemonade did not leave me hydrated, pining for the outdoors or on the hunt for real trees, but it did taste like pink lemonade, and for that I commend them.

No Fear Citrus Energy Drink Review

The No Fear brand's six year lacuna ends with a bright yellow color atop a familiar design. Purchased for a cool seventy five cents, one could not help but grab each of the several varieties the scrubby grocery store was selling. Its can comes with only a few modifications since we last witnessed a review, with paint blotches in the aforementioned color to brighten up otherwise state hardcore visuals.

No Fear Citrus has a super sweetness that assaults your tongue as your first sip washes over your palate. The flavor to all this sugariness is full-on lemonade, a completely candied take on the tart vegetation. Each sip is heavy on the tongue, a marvelous weight thanks to the incipiently silky saccharinity, but soon the sixty six grams breaks down into a syrupy, grainy mess, clogging and choking the throat with every imbibe. Having no fear with adding empty calories, HFCS is the culprit of the waning cassonade, the infamous declasse carbohydrate that preforms with admirable class only to depart its passion halfway through. In the end, No Fear Citrus is 100% drinkable, but it is uneven and unimpressive considering the brand's long hiatus.

Each can contains: B vitamins, taurine, inositol, caffeine (eighty milligrams per eight ounce serving), guarana, ginseng, l-carnitine, grape seed extract and l-arginine. The buzz is uninspired, lasting two and a half hours, ending with a quite nasty crash despite revving up with ease. Overall, No Fear Citrus marks the return of the company with more of a bleat than a bang.

Spider Rise Again! Energy Drink Review

Spider Rise Again! is the compulsatory "recovery" variety of the brand, a variety now found in most big and small brands alike. Its bright yellow can gets the point across and is fairly sharp, however there is too much text and too many fonts layered on the aluminum. Its name also does not make the most sense; there has not been a flavor called "Rise" or "fall," so how can this be "Rise Again?"

With all the writing on the can the word "strawberry" never caught my eyes, and they opened with surprise at the initial pink color of the liquid. First sip demonstrates the five percentage of lemon juice with a slight edge of an organic tartness. Otherwise that edge is dull, chipped and rusted, two grams of sugar uselessly attempting to thrill the flat flavor. The lemon in this lemonade remains exclusive to that paltry juice percentage, an experience that is in need of a lemon "ade" to help you finish the entire fifteen something ounces. Any strawberry taste loiters around the subfusc sourness, a fruit hardly noticeable yet screams for a more acidity, saccharinity and purpose. The Spider brand is littered with derivative but delectable flavors, but Rise Again is more than just creatively bankrupt, it is not deserving of the exclamation mark in its name.

The beverage's sole saving grace here is the nearly four hour long buzz, thanks to a gnarly cocktail of: caffeine (240 milligrams), taurine, B vitamins, l-carnitine, ginseng, green tea, and guarana. It is a great, smooth boost without any crash after. In the end, I did not like this Spider. Rise Again? This is the beverage that would have fallen the brand.

Arnold Palmer Drive Performance Energy Drink Review

This tall black can sports the golf-legend proudly, his name written in cursive and at an angle. "Drive" is tossed below it, insinuating, alongside the lower "performance," that this is Arizona's next entry into the energy drink market. It is not necessarily an ugly can, however kids drink the brand's drinks, and there is minimal difference at first glance to warn of this libation's caffeine content.

This fifteen and a half-ounce potation sips smoothly but with zero pizzazz; the tea lacking any bitter depth, and the lemonade missing almost all its sourness. What we are left with about two cups of uninteresting water, only the faintest tartness to the even weaker citrusness and the weakest tea taste. A puny twenty three grams of sugar is here, sweetening without conviction and becoming lost in all the tepid wateriness. Ten percentage of juice proves to not be nearly enough, a distracted, distant pulpiness gives each forced mouthfeel too clean of a texture; where is the weight or the diversity? Overall, Arnold Palmer Drive about sums up what is so wrong about canned Arnold Palmers.

Each can contains: caffeine (120 milligrams), guarana, acai querticin, B vitamins and green tea. For almost a sixteen ounce potable, the ingredient-cocktail is paltry; brewing a buzz lasting roughly an hour and a half, only. To end, Arnold Palmer Drive is an interesting but completely misguided excuse of an energy drink.

Moxie Recharge Tea/Lemonade Energy Drink Review

Out of nowhere comes a new Moxie variety, a brand long thought to be abeyant. However their return is in the unfortunate form of those "rehab" drinks popularized by its more common competitors. Here the synonym is recharge and its can is the compulsory black with ample suggestions of yellow. It is not ugly, but the personality of the brand is not as edgy as the can believes it is.

A capricious departure from the "recovery" genus of beverages, 260 calories rock your tongue with all the sugar your waist does not need. Even more surprising is its carbonation, another trademark absence in the genre. Drinking as an energy drink should, each sip has terrific weight, an effervescent puddle of gooey saccharinity and tart lemony goodness. Your lips furrow with felicity from all the sour sweetness, each gulp cloying and clogging your throat but you pound away anyway at the can with a huge smile. Tea is inappropriately given top billing on the can, present in none of the sixteen ounces. Okay, maybe there is some aftertaste tinted of the black leaves, but an Arnold Palmer this is not. It is better.

B and C vitamins, taurine, inositol, caffeine, and gentian root come in each can, along with sixty two grams of sugar and the aforementioned calorie count. Energy is basic but functional, lasting two and a half hours, maybe three. With all that sugar there definitely is a bit of a crash after. With all said and done, Moxie Recharge is a breath of fresh air in the "hydration" market, though its peculiarities are likely to disunite consumers.

Vuka Workout Zo-Cal Energy Drink Review

Four years since Vuka last rested in my palm, and not much has changed. Two sugar free variations now exist, with silver trim for distinction. Today we are looking at the diet Workout adaptation, a waistline friendly adaptation of their berry lemonade. Its design is playful and charming, something you have fun looking at while taking it seriously. The resealable aluminum is a woefully underused artifice, giving this crimson can a terrific first impression.

Stevia sweetens, for better or worse- scratch that, it is for worse. Each sip is an unenthused hodgepodge of oblique fruits, neutered of the citrusy or berry flavor promised on the attractive five cent returnable. They are exchanged for an astringent earthiness from the honey alternative, something that might ironically work better with a greater saccharinity. Its harsh effervescence grates the throat, leaving the palate tender to the burn of the bored bitterness. Surely this must taste like something specific, but your tongue could only hope and lust. Dead strawberry buried in all the unfortunate aforementioned, linked languidly to cranberry and some cherry. Lemon is represented even less, as it was with the original, but without any sourness, its stamp on the can is all the more inconsequential. This Vuka is a vexatious version that simply did not have to be. Made, that is.

Each can contains: B vitamins, potassium, and caffeine (160 mg). Two and a half hours is all one should expect here, a decent boast nothing new from an energy drink. In the end, Vuka Zo-Cal Workout is a disturbingly disappointing affair, surprising considering the original was only adequate.

Loop Lemonade Energy Drink Review

A generic entry into the useless realm of hydrating lemonade energy drinks, this one from K-Mart is a true sight for sore eyes. Though auspiciously absent is any "rehab" synonym, the positives end directly there. Yellow dominates the can with aggression not passion, an ugly shade desperate for anything of a complementing color. What ever the graphic towards the middle is does not work; vague and uninteresting and adding only more ugliness.

Nothing to the nose and less to the tongue, the jaded excuses for lemon barely escapes the watery tempest of each sip. Sweetness is laughable, two grams of HFCS feebly tries exciting an average ace-k and sucralose blend; sugariness so diluted it does not taste intentional. The body is slippery, oily and greasy, unpleasant to sip as it is to chug. The sole saving grace does no saving; tartness is the law of lemonade and is present of course, but taunts and laughs as you lust for stronger sourness. Loop Lemonade is a lot like pulling teeth, albeit with Novocaine; a rather painless consequence for your own stupidity, but there surely are more productive uses for your time and money.

The kick lasted two and a half hours, energy uninspired and completely routine. Each can contains: B vitamins, taurine, ginseng, and caffeine (160 mg). Overall, to call Loop Lemonade a disappointment is an insult to drinks we have actual expectations for.
