RATING: 5.2 OUT OF 10.
It isn't often that I come across an energy shot I've never heard of, and it's even more seldom when my father tells me about it. He and I were briefly discussing an energy shot that he bought for me, and despite him not knowing what the name was, I insisted that I had heard of it. As it turns out, the energy shot is called Rocket Shot, and although the name may sound vaguely familiar, I know next to nothing about it. He brought home two flavors: berry blast and orange mango. I went for the berry blast.
The packaging on this is lively, yet still generic. You can easily tell that they don't have a lot of money to put into this, otherwise the packaging would come out a little nicer. Judging by a review from Energy Drink Ratings, I was expecting the flavor to be unpalatable. Fortunately, I was incorrect. The flavor was a sweet, artificial amalgamation of berries. It was impossible to determine what berries were used, but overall I didn't think it was that bad, and it didn't require a chaser afterwards.
One of the most important aspects to any energy drink is it's energy blend. Let's see what Rocket Shot has to offer. It has 100 percent daily value of vitamin b3, 250 percent daily value of vitamin b6, 80 percent daily value of vitamin b12, 50 percent daily value of pantothenic acid, and an energy blend containing caffeine, taurine, and inositol. Honestly I think that blend is quite shoddy, and since the energy blend is only 130 milligrams, that means the caffeine content could be 80 milligrams or less. That's simply not up to par with the other energy shots.
Due to Rocket Shots lack of a potent energy blend, this little bugger struggled to get me energized. I have been going on a bit of a caffeine detoxification lately, so the "effect" portion of my review will be a bit more accurate. I noticed mild effectiveness from this, and that's basically what I was expecting. A drink with this amount of caffeine probably isn't going to do a whole lot.
Rocket Shot is the epitome of the word: average. Except, it isn't quite average. It's actually below it. The flavor is its strong point, and even that isn't very "strong." In my humble opinion, if you ever come across this at your local convenience store, please pick up whatever energy shot is next to it. I guarantee it will be far superior to this mediocre drink.
