Xing Grape Attack Energy Drink Review

The company's design here is a wild one, with no real theme aside from "hey, let's just chuck a bunch of text on a can... no, any font, any direction, any size- it doesn't matter!" The brand name shines with the golden yellow "Xing," and although the purple looks sharp on the black background, the violet wording is difficult to read.

Grape is a solid flavor for Xing and all their idiosyncrasies- its grainy sugariness and lack of effervescence. It is a soft drink gone flat, but that is okay- sips escape the can at a brisk pace, the carbohydrates flooding my mouth with their toothsome texture. It is full-on candy here, fifty four grams of sugar do a splendid job sweetening; this really is a soda-like experience! It has a solid tartness as well, an acidity that is just one notch below puckering and I honestly wish it went the extra mile and curled my face into a mangled mess of tense muscles. I do like it here, but I cannot help but wonder how much better things would be had we gotten some carbonation. It would have really tied the whole experience together, but at least this variety is a stronger flavor than their Tangerine drink.

Each can contains: B vitamins, taurine, 160 milligrams of caffeine, inositol, and 220 calories. The kick standard, lasting two and a half hours and is rather dull. Sure, there is a solid sugar rush, but that is not why we drink energy drinks! I wanted my socks knocked off and, gasp, they are still on!

Juice Monster Voodoo Juice Energy Drink Review

You are telling me that there was not already a grape juice Monster? The Caffeine King must have been hallucinating when reviewing Monster Mixxed way back in 2009. Caffeine is a drug, and if the PSA's had any truth to them, drugs will do that to you. The can is your standard issue from the company, but the avocado green really makes the lavender pop, as well as all the other superfluous elements surrounding that familiar logo.

A measly six percent juice content is apparently enough to call yourself "juice" these days; back in my day, energy drinks had something like, half the total amount of actual nectar, but I digress. The first fruit to appear is white grape, followed by lessening amounts of apple, red grape, concord grape and finally plum, and in theory this should produce a layered flavor, challenging you to think with each passing imbibe. But no, Monster here was uninterested in nuance, supplementing complexity with a saccharinity somehow kept below your average person's daily recommended amount. Thirty six grams and all added, come from that familiar band of sugar, glucose and sucralose. Their handling of the sweetness is able to keep the experience from disintegrating into a syrupy mess, at least. The grape itself is basic and unchallenging, but not as aggressive as an actual cupful of the juice you would buy from the store. It strikes right between munching on both red and green grapes simultaneously, though obviously without the actual health benefits. That is not to say this is not pleasant, because it most certainly is. The child in me adored its innocence, filling my head with recollections of sucking on frozen ice pops in the summer heat. Problem is, I am now a grumpy elder pissed that the memories are now just that.

Just 160 milligrams of caffeine, come on, man, can we not get a few more just once? Vitamins and other supplements (ranging from taurine to inositol) also appear on the back of the crazy can. Overall, Juice Monster Voodoo Juice may be easy to drink, but it holds itself back by a relentless familiarity, and chronic lack of ambition to do anything about it.

3D Liberty Pop Energy Drink Review

If you are going to name your energy drink "3D," then I expect to get a pair of those cheap cardboard polarized glasses with each can. 3D's flavor today is "Liberty Pop," a mystery flavor that hides beneath its patriotic visuals. What kind of taste is it? Why should I, the consumer, plop down several bucks just to find out? Because I review energy drinks, that is why.

The base of the experience is white grape, a budding taste adjacent to the stronger pineapple and cherry notes. It is a trilogy in the loosest sense, as neither nectar is particularly potent on the tongue. Instead, the core characteristic is its sourness and powdery texture; your lips pucker up to a point only to be caught off-guard by the slight chalky mouthfeel. It is a dynamic who's dual purpose is to achieve a level of playfulness and help to mask any diet sugar fogginess introduced by the sweetener blend of erythritol, sucralose and ace-k. Oh trust me, your palate could tell this was low carb from first sip, but its not aggressively so. Gulps wash down with minimal struggle and without any aftertaste, a sixteen ounce potable that fills you with encouragement not regret.

200 milligrams of caffeine powers a solid three hour long buzz, but let us face it, it has a third less than the similar Bang brand. That is OK with me, since those drinks have never tasted as adequately as 3D.

5-hour Energy Extra Strength Grape Energy Drink Review

That is right folks, the famous little energy shot is now a full-blown drink... took it long enough. Not that I can really claim to be all that excited; with the likes of Bang, G Fuel and oh so many others, does it really matter? The can however, remains its ugly old self, a poorly shrink-wrapped hunk of aluminum that showcases years of stalwart absentmindedness when it comes to basic visual fidelity.

The front of the design hails that this "tastes better," but my tongue not only disagrees, it is talking to my lawyers Itchy and Twitchy for a deceptive marketing suit. Tastes better than what? Things do indeed resemble grape, but the company looked away from mother nature and instead towards the pharmaceutical aisle for inspiration; an experience so provocatively medicinal, the poor sole sweetener sucralose is without any backup to challenge the challenging swill. So with sweetness out, the sole saving grace could have been acidity. Yet that is not what we have here, a sad little excuse for a fruit that should have been full of life but is instead full of lies. At this point only a few ounces remain, and there is one positive, the potation's clean aftertaste. That means little when each sip just resets the acridity, but hey, I do not want to come off as some kind of grump.

"Works better" also reads the can, although with just 220 milligrams of caffeine, it certainly is lacking when compared to some of the potent potables that have since strangled the market. The buzz is a good one though, a three hour kick that does come up shy of its "5-hour" promise; I will let Itchy and Twitchy add that to their case. Other ingredients include B vitamins, taurine, and others. Overall, 5-hour Energy Grape's taste might have worked in a two or so ounce shot, but as a full-size drink, it sinks to the dying depths of the energy drink sea.

Bang Purple Haze Energy Drink Review

The can is as dull as it always is, a cool name with a design so brazenly disinteresting. Where is the fun? Where is the hype? There is 300 milligrams of caffeine here, you would think that would help define the label's focus.

No silly tricks here- Bang Purple Haze is grape all the way, and it is a pretty decent one, considering the artificial sweeteners had to mask all the chemicals. It is soda-inspired no doubt, super sweet, actually, it is  relentlessly saccharine and it bogs down your palate, remaining deep inside your taste buds; do not be surprised to be eating dinner later that week and be wondering why your steak has a distant "sweetness" to it. Yet, all the supplements listed on the back of the can, most of which I doubt do anything pure caffeine can't do, the experience here is a fairly standard sugar free grape energy drink, nothing more and fortunately nothing less.

Each can contains 300 milligrams of caffeine. How about that! There are plenty of other things listed on the back of the can, from B vitamins to creatyl-l-leucine. Know what that is? Well you do not need to- just know that the caffeine gives a rocking buzz, lasting three and a half hours without hesitation. Overall, Bang Purple Haze's amazingly boring can and amazingly average taste are slightly overruled by its dynamite kick.

Monster Ultra Violet Energy Drink Review

This bright purple can sports the same base design as the other "Ultra" varieties in the line, complete with its once-unique-now-overused textured aluminum. The silver doodles against the lavender background has a lot going on, but despite all its wild imagery, I was never inclined to pay it much attention. But it is the back paragraph of puffery that steals the show, mentioning everything 70's, from bell-bottoms to magic carpets. What that has to do with grape energy drinks is beyond me, but it is a worthy ride, if only for the corporate bizarreness.

If ice-pops were made without sugar, melted, and then carbonated, you would have Ultra Violet's taste. It is full-on grape candy flavor, avoiding the robustness of an actual red grape or the potency of grape soda, for better or worse. But the problem here lies in its saccharinity, achieved via erythritol, sucralose, and ace-k- they simply lack the sweetening chops for this flavor! The fruit blasts onto your tongue, anticipating a dramatic sugariness full of weight and nuance, but is left with the hollow heft of the synthetic sugars and sugar alcohol. Its a discrepancy that leaves the experience floundering in awkwardness and identity crisis.

Each can contains: caffeine (140 milligrams), taurine, and B vitamins. The energy to this energy drink is its weakest aspect, however, lasting two hours, though there is not any crash following. On the whole, Monster Ultra Violet is a misguided expansion of an already mangled line.

Mtn Dew Kickstart Midnight Grape Review

The newest of the sixteen ounce Kickstarts, Midnight Grape's can fits right at home with its older siblings. The purple to black gradient looks pretty fantastic, however the transport's organization leaves something to be desired. The words "Mtn Dew," "Kickstart" and "Midnight Grape" are haphazardly laid about the can, leaving our eyes to piece together its name and to capture the actual flavor out of that decent chunk of text.

The flavor is smooth, with high fructose corn syrup sweetening without imbuing every imbibe with much of a gummy or sticky texture. It surely lacks the grainy nuance or heft of real, pure sugar, but with ace-k and sucralose as its sweetening partners, each sip is not as bad as you would maybe expect. There is only the slightest sourness to any given gulp, and the effervescence's dullness leaves the liquid lackadaisically lounging on the tongue. Well, many sentences in and... did we forget something? That we did, and it would be the actual taste. Grape allegedly is and when I say allegedly, I mean how the flavor dissipates into a sappy, saccharine sensation upon each splash of the purple colored concoction. Pepsico, the producers behind the brand, are no virgins to the vine-grown vegetation, making both Amp and your normal Mtn Dew grade-flavored potations. however they do so here without class, skill, or fun.

The kick to this Kickstart does not do much kicking, lasting an hour maybe, thanks to only: potassium, eighty calories and ninety milligrams of caffeine. On the whole, Mtn Dew Kickstart Midnight Grade occupies a midpoint between energy drink and soda, failing as either and as its own.

AMP Dale Dr. Sour Energy Drink Review

A least favorite of mine throughout my long tenure drinking energy drinks is Amp Tradin' Paint. A beverage from 2009, it has been holding its place on my "worst taste" section since it first met my tongue. So my enthusiasm for this bright green Nascar version? Very weak. Besides, who wants to drink a sour racecar driver? What the hell kind of flavor is that?!

There is an overall grape taste, a rough yet heavily diluted cross between red and white varieties; without the individual depth of either, each gulp is heinously awkward. Sweetness is stifled especially for fifty six grams of the stuff, and does not work for either colored variety, leaving a ton of pressure on the sour artifice. Only never is the experience sour! A little tart maybe, but what sugariness can be found cancels out any extreme acidity. Wait, wait a minute- about four ounces remain and things are picking up: the few surplus sips have a grainy sourness to them, tasting more like Sweet Tarts in a can, as if the contents had settled. Perhaps I should have given this a quick shake before opening? Naw, I should have just thrown it away.

For energy, there is an inferior buzz, lasting an unimpressive two hours for a drink of this size. Each can contains: caffeine (156 milligrams), guarana, taurine, ginseng, and B vitamins. On the whole, Amp Dale Jr. Sour is as stupid a product as it sounds. Only worse.

Hydrive Grape Fusion Energy Drink Review

Kinder to the eyes than it originally was, Hydrive Grape Fusion loves purple and is fortunately fantastic draped in the color. Black is well complemented, as is the white, and at a quick glance you can gather all the information you need.

Imitation grape splashes the tongue with an assault of artificial sugars, nonconfrontartional counterfeits that lack the juicy depth of real grapes and the fullness of natural saccharinity. A fusion this is not, we taste only the cloying allegation that is only mistaken for the fruit by one virginal to it. A nonportentous beverage where sips are less interesting than licks to a child's ice-pop, this Hydrive remake mistakes dimensionlessness for succinctness; words easier to spell than this is to relish.

We gather 160 milligrams of caffeine, some taurine and B vitamins from the sixteen ounces. That crafts a kick three hours long, of sufficing, rather than triumphant, strength. To end, Hydrive Grape Fusion is a non-carbonated energy water, only not as decent as that sounds.

Nawgan Grape Energy Drink Review

I know what they were trying here; they wanted to look intelligent, more so then they actually are, and the can is thusly pompous and grandiose. Boredom instead is explored here, a sterile and dull visual experience that demonstrates no personality with its generic fonts and the absence of stimulating graphics.

The can cracks opens, exposing a surprisingly authentic scent of what should be expected if we did not already know the line. This non-carbonated libation is loosely tart and watery on the tongue with a sweetness of decided strength, potent and rather decent from the usual ace-k and sucralose blend. But it is painfully one note, already too much only a brief sip or two in, a grape taste so lackluster that it makes kids' Kool Aid Bursts and the likes, seem like delicate experiences. But things were expected to be worse than this, so for a Nawgan, it gets a reluctant thumbs up. For a drink in general, it gets the middle finger.

There is nothing new here;  there is caffeine (110 milligrams), vitamin E, citicoline, and B vitamins. The kick lasts a stock two hours, jitter and crash free however. On the whole, Nawgan Grape is unexciting and largely unoriginal, nearly twelve ounces of nothing new.

Xenergy + Hydration Grape Review

This is a shame; Xenergy used to mean hardcore, drinks that were always potent and tasty, and looked their best in black cans. Now however, the brand is soft, losing its previous and praised identity in repudiated tries at becoming more mainstream. Go back, Xenergy, you were great the way you were.

Imitation sweeteners bring the one-dimensional grape here down even further, to the level of a kid's Little Hug or Kool Aid Burst beverage. The fruit plays no new tune, lacking the depth expected from the company, its only personality being a bit of a salty bite from the electrolytes. Its boring array of nothing new was unfortunately yet not entirely unanticipated, but the immature understanding of grape makes one yearn for the company's flavors of years ago. Where is the depth? Where is the creativity? Where is the Xenergy I loved? I would never classify this variety as bad, as it is most definitely drinkable, but it is most disappointing.

The aforementioned electrolytes and some B vitamins are all that this "energy" drink has to provide you with energy. It does not, unsurprisingly. Its synthetic and sickly sweet flavor is never refreshing, and is not what you would or should be reaching for at the gym.

Eternal Energy Grape Energy Shot Review

This discount brand always found at Wal Mart cannot seem to remember which packaging it now uses; sharing the same layout with the Tropical Punch flavor but not the improved Pomegranate. It is confusing to me, let alone the casual consumer, but at least the design here is competent, if not unremarkable.

After the struggle that was the unperforated cap (and the subsequent tearing of half the plastic wrapper), the flavor of grape hardly pushes through the taste of chemicals and the potent dilution of water. We get some sweetness, a surprising and nearly satisfactory saccharinity that almost gloats about its artificiality to the tongue. It is mildly tart too, a moderate sourness for the grape to falsely feel like the experience was formulated with the fruit in mind. There is vacant depth to this shot of two ounces, but you can pound this back without the fear of bitterness or any astringency. Does that makes this a good shot? No, but it is easily the brand's best.

The fantastic 222 milligrams or so of caffeine per bottle gives this shot brilliant credibility. There is a tonne else in the "energy blend," but highlights include: taurine, B vitamins, and guarana. On the whole Eternal Energy Grape is a steal at $.88, something I never thought I would be saying.

Rip It G-Force Extra Strength Energy Shot Review

Although rip it is a great budget brand, there packaging certainly makes it feel budget. The undistinguished "X" is hardly stimulating, an otherwise visually vacant shot packed with text. The "sugar free" is uneducatedly placed, and with everything around the same size font, it is too difficult to decipher what points are most important.

It has been three years since the original G-Force was reviewed, but even with almost 1095 days in the lab, the flavor does not condense well. It is not bitter or abhorrent or anything, but the opaque purple potation is watery with less emphasis on grape than there should be. Instead the sweetness, in the shape of sucralose and ace-k, is exaggerated with marginal success. It halts all development of the fruit, keeping nuance and tartness out of each sip. It introduces its own flavors however, cheap artificiality and slight aftertaste that only poorly managed synthetic sweeteners can produce. The experience overall is like knock-off Kool-Aid Burst, only without the childhood nostalgia.

What makes this shot "extra strength" is twenty milligrams more of caffeine and taurine, and even more minor increases of glutamine and glucuronolactone. The kick lasted two and a half, perhaps three hours, but even with B vitamins also, the buzz was less "extra" and more "ordinary."

Built Ford Tough Haulin' Super Duty Power Shot Grape Review

Why this is an energy shot- oh, sorry, I meant power shot (a super duty one too), is beyond any sane person. No, my vehicle is not a truck, or a Ford, but even if so that would not make me part of the (extremely limited) target audience. Only someone who just loves Ford trucks would ever be like "finally, an energy shot for me!"

For the two something bucks paid, this blandly sweet and tedious tasting shot only resembles grape if you have never had one. It burns with a chemical passion and homages the bitter shots of years ago with an archaic astringency. There is an overabundance of water to each of the few sips two ounces offer, a distracting characteristic to a distracted experience. It is drinkable, but perhaps only to an individual just shy of 1000 reviews.

Other than varied amounts of B vitamins, there is the lamented energy blend, unspecific with quantities of: caffeine, taurine, and other elements. The kick lasted something under three hours, leaving jitters and expiring with a bit of a crash. Altogether, this frustrating energy shot shares a shelf with products with both a market and a chance; it is built Ford weak and, well, the jokes write themselves.

Kabang Grape Energy Candy Review

The dark duo of black and purple is sharp and sultry eye candy. The white text does struggle here off of the latter color, something practiced as a whole by the line, but here being most notably a problem.

The confection unwraps revealing a dull pink hue and imperfect molded shape. The taste is infinitely saccharine and obviously artificially flavored, but quickly did the product succumb to my mouth's moisture and heat, unveiling the anticipated fizzy artifice far earlier than anticipated and any in the line. So I crunched down on the treat and broke the shallow shell of sugar within moments of first popping it onto my tongue, but what was tasted of the grape avoided depth and intricacy, but thrived inside the sweet cascade of effervescent machination. It distracts from any flavor modestness but almost prides itself on this paramount primitiveness. Was the candy finished within seconds? Was it enjoyed? Would another be welcomed? The answer to all three is a yes, but I would be lying if I said it did not detectably disappoint.

For an energy candy, B vitamins, vitamin C, and ginseng hardly satisfies. My daily dose of caffeine needed to be supplemented by something else, in other words I needed to supply my own energy.

Great Value Energy Berry Blast Drink Enhancer Review

Wal Mart is flooding shelf space with all these haste MiO clones, especially ones that are not based around the same flavors. Sure, the popular brand will probably one day offer a variety under a name not unlike "Berry Blast," but they currently have only two energy flavors; so just what is the department store's inspiration here?!

Purple lighter than anywhere on the packaging, two squeezes taste like grape Kool-Aid mixed by someone in the water industry: largely diluted and hardly resembling fruits thusly. But the addition of a third brings some unexpected depth and strength to the punch, tasting most notably like grape and blackberry. The triplex of splashes dye the aqua not far off from the lower right hand of the bottle. But when I introduced a fourth spit is where the flavor begins to flounder, a dull glare from fruits artificial tasting despite being born from "natural flavors." There is far from enough intricacy to this berry union, with even new notices of raspberry not supplying enough variation a sip. At a quaternity of sprays, the texture is thick and sweet beyond just cloying, something that was far from a problem a squirt ago. Overall, we can only assume that if this was based on an actual MiO flavor, it would be a qualityless imitation, as on its own it fares no better.

There is fifty milligrams of caffeine a serving, taurine, ginseng, guarana, and B vitamins too. From four total, the kick lasted right under four hours, but its strength and length are customizable. On the whole, Great Value's most recent experiment definitely should have had more time in the lab.

Monster Dub Edition Mad Dog Energy Drink Review

An uncreative palette swap from the Baller's Blend reviewed months ago, Mad Dog is a mysterious and confusing beverage. Is it a repackaging of the original "Dub Edition" drink from years ago? Sadly yes, but considering it already went from a thirty two ounce can to a twist top import-style transport, Monster is just congesting their own shelve space.

Your tongue is assaulted by the sweet taste of maraschino cherries, somewhat soured with a pleasant tail of bright red grapes. It is the same as the aforementioned Dub Edition (criminally understated on the line's trademark cryptic paragraph on the back), but while we are here, we may as well elaborate it some more. Green grape's mellow bite, tainted of pears and Granny Smith apples, works as the underbelly of the experience. Slightly tarter than the above, the trilogy of discreet tastes establish wonderful depth and complement the two predominate magically. Every fruit is sweet but never syrupy or cloyingly so, a candying saccharinity that avoids ever poorly or overdoing its job. I liked the flavor in 2010 and I like it now, this Monster is still one of the company's strongest entries.

There is absolutely nothing special here, a 220 calorie drink with the standard cocktail of ingredients: caffeine (160 mg), inositol, guarana, B vitamins, and others too obvious to spend the time typing. The energy lasted three plus hours, again nothing spectacular. On the whole, as the original Monster Dub Edition, Mad Dog Punch tastes good, but if it confuses me, it will no doubt baffle the casual consumer.

Double Kick Energy Candy Line Review


Alright, we get it, your product is a candy, but that is certainly no excuse for the unattractively childish packaging, especially if it is an adult energy candy. The name “Double Kick,” complete with a cartoony donkey, is painfully trite. It is not original, it is not fun, and with a solid eighty milligrams of caffeine per small tab, its potency should be demonstrated by a more serious, or impressive, design.

When you crunch down on any given tablet, the sorbitol based bite breaks without a satisfactory snap. Instead there is an ungainly grind of grains and grit, tasting little of the fruitiness promised (allowing the candy to dissolve is thus recommended). This is how each of the candies physically preform in the mouth, but the following explains the individual flavors in more depth:

Green Apple: The little piece is appropriately green and smells wicked of green apple, like any good candy would. But this is not a good candy; your first encounter with the tablet is disrespectful, tasting very mildly of green apple with a consistent synthetic sweetness.

Grape: The next flavor is grape, but we are actually exposed to a decent fruit flavor. Sure, it is more alike grape medicine than any other application, the tartness is good and the sweetness is superior.

Watermelon: The red fleshed melon is naturally tame, unforced and laid-back, but without real sugar and without a large size to properly convey the flavor right, we instead suffer through a synthetic moment of ineptitude.

Strawberry: Tasting very little like the vibrant perfection of the outwardly seeded fruit, this piece is unapologetically unpronounced, ignoring everything down to the hush idiosyncrasies in favor of ignorant sweetness. It was actually quite difficult to differentiate from the watermelon's equally unelaborative flavor.

Orange: Scented strongly and pleasantly, this flavor preforms rather well, at first; the fake sugars sweeten just enough, and there is a touch of tartness that really approximates the fruit. However, the sorbitol and sucralose do eventually and unfortunately burn and clog your palate with its artificiality.

Blue Raspberry: Sweetness subdued and without any tartness, this blue raspberry imitation is bland and unexciting. It barely resembles the candied fruit flavor, let alone demonstrate any depth, however the absence of any artificial aftertaste is worth noting.

Black Cherry: A naturally pronounced and complex flavor, neither of which the small size is capable of. The resulting candy is artificially harsh and entirely unappetizing despite the pleasant aroma. It may have been the last flavor tried, but it was the first that needed a chaser.

There are five calories, eighty milligrams of caffeine, some B vitamins, and taurine per piece. The quick-hitting energy was of decent strength, however it lasted only an hour and a half before I was considering another. But then I remembered the unpleasing taste, and reached for something else.

Killer Buzz Livid Energy Drink Review

How Killer Buzz Livid slipped by without a review for so long is a mystery, considering the line was last seen in late June. But the can is at least a good one, with the purple looking fantastic against both trims of black and the middle of silver. Perhaps the bottom statement is needless though, considering the secondary color is a dead giveaway of what to expect flavor-wise.

The cloying smell lowered my expectations, a heavy scent that scared my nose into recalling the nightmares of colds and cough syrup. The flavor is a biased study of grape, super sweet without reason with a thick medicinal aftertaste that is equally super. There are notes of sour apple and vanillin trailing the purple fruit, a subtle transition that feels wholly inorganic. It calls forth memories of Monster Dub, a drink that also stitched standard energy drink material to grape without reasons beyond blind ambition. But the experience is not one of every day, a creative exercise to break up your boring workout.

Each can contains: taurine, amino acids, inositol, B vitamins and 200 milligrams of caffeine. The kick lasted four hours before crapping out, sparking jiiters along the way. Overall, Killer Buzz Livid will not be remembered as my favorite energy drink, but rather as the variety that closed the creative line.

Fast Twitch Purple Energy Drink Review

Fast Twitch Purple is probably not the true name for this twenty ounce energy and performance drink, however neither the bottle nor the web offers much clarity. It contains 200 milligrams of caffeine, a fact featured prominently, but the label is otherwise a chaotic mess. Words flies across in all directions and most is less than helpful, and with so much text one would expect the flavor indication of "purple" to be explained.

Despite such a vague flavor suggestion, grape was totally anticipated (I am not stupid), however here the fruit is promoted without any love or verve. It is passively sweet without tartness, and everything here including the taste itself taste completely chemical. There is nothing to challenge the palate; no depth to the hydrated raisin, and the experience likens well to Gatorade or any cheap ice lolly. It is admiringly not a strong demonstration, drinking easily in large gulps and at quite a pace. And although the sugariness does begin to collect and caulks the back of your mouth with the last few of the many sips, you take your last before it is ever an issue. Overall, while an unmitigated bore, the twenty ounces went down fast enough.

Each bottle contains: taurine, 200 milligrams of caffeine, B and C vitamins, and a good deal of others. The buzz was not quite as explosive as implied, but it lasted a solid four or more hours without jitters or consequent crash. All in all, Fast Twitch Purple is not worth the buck twenty at Big Lots for the typical consumer or reviewer.
