REVIEW OF WAVE SUGAR FREE

CAFFEINE CONTENT: UNKNOWN.


RATING: 7 OUT OF 10.


It has been a little while since I reviewed my last drink, but I have been waiting on some other products such as Bazi, RelaxZen, and BioFuel Caffeinated Popcorn. In the litany of energy drinks that I have at my house, there are only about 3 or 4 that I haven't reviewed yet. Today I will be tackling Wave Sugar Free. The original wave had a Red Bull flavor, only it was a lot smoother and less gummy. Given the choice, I would drink Wave. But what about Wave Sugar Free? How does that stack up against Red Bull Sugar Free? Well, in all honesty I don't know because I have never tried sugar free Red Bull. Sugar free Wave though, is decent in terms of diet drinks. Yes, it is still smooth with a Red Bull flavor, but this time it has the distinctive flavor and aftertaste of Aspartame. This is the main reason why sugar free drinks never taste as good as their sugary counterparts. The companies have no choice but to put artificial sweeteners in their drinks. It's really a shame because without them, the drinks would taste horrible, so I suppose the companies don't have a choice. Anyway, let's move on to some energy enhancing ingredients. Per can, this has 28 percent daily value of vitamin b1, 172 percent daily value of vitamin b2, 192 percent daily value of vitamin b3, 480 percent daily value of vitamin b6, 96 percent daily value of vitamin b12, and 96 percent daily value of vitamin b5. It also has a 1,140 milligram energy blend consisting of taurine, caffeine, inositol, l-lysine, choline bitartrate, and guarana seed extract. The caffeine content is officially unknown, but it is apparently less than the average energy drinks. My best guess is around 120 to 140 milligrams. The punch this thing gave out was pretty good. Since it has a lower caffeine content, the kick wasn't as good as some of the industry leaders, but it was ample enough to get my through the first hours of the day. I think Wave Sugar Free is an OK product. But I am not the biggest fan of sugar free drinks. No offense. 7 out of 10.
