REVIEW OF SOBE LIFEWATER POMEGRANATE CHERRY

CAFFEINE CONTENT: NO CAFFEINE

RATING: 6.4 OUT OF 10.

So, this is going to be a detailed review on the Sobe Lifewater Pomegranate Cherry Energy Drink. The only reason I can call this beverage an energy drink is because it has taurine, ginseng, and b vitamins which are three common ingredients found in energy drinks. So first off, why name your product SoBe? Well, SoBe is made by South Beach Beverage Company and if you combine the first two letters of the word south with the first two letters of the word beach you get SoBe. Now, the flavor is supposed to be Pomegranate Cherry but of course I did not taste any of those flavors. Instead I tasted a watered-down fruit flavored beverage similar to the likes of Propel only more fruity. This actually tasted quite nice and it was very refreshing. So, instead of just telling you the energy enhancing ingredients in this drink, I am going to tell you every single gosh darn ingredient that is present in this 20 ounce bottle. Per 20 ounce bottle it contains 100 calories, 0 grams of total fat, 55 milligrams of sodium, 42 grams of total carbohydrates, 24 grams of sugars, 0 grams of protein, 250 percent daily value of vitamin c, 50 percent daily value of vitamin e, 25 percent daily value of niacin, 25 percent daily value of vitamin b6, 25 percent daily value of vitamin b12, and 25 percent daily value of pantothenic acid. The ingredients are as follows: filtered water, sugar, erythritol, natural flavor, monopotassium phosphate, citric acid, ascorbic acid, potassium citrate, calcium lactate, modified food starch, cochineal extract, taurine, vitamin e acetate, calcium phosphate, gum arabic, panax ginseng root extract, calcium pantothenate, niacinamide, elderberry juice concentrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, and cyanocobalamin. That is quite a plethora of ingredients but there is only 5 energy enhancing ingredients making this drink pretty weak. This drink was made to refresh you not to energize you a ton. Also, why name the flavor Pomegranate Cherry? There are no pomegranate or cherry juices in the ingredients. Perhaps that is what the "natural flavors" are. Well, that concludes my review of the SoBe Lifewater Pomegranate Cherry Energy Drink. Rating? I will give it a 6.4 out of 10. It tastes good, has a mediocre energy blend, and doesn't give you much energy.

REVIEW OF SHOCKWAVE INFRARED

CAFFEINE CONTENT: UNKNOWN.

RATING: 7.2 OUT OF 10.

So, this is the Shockwave Infrared Energy Drink. The drink comes in a red 16 ounce can and has a cranberry-like color to it. The taste is a little hard to describe. When I first tried it I thought of cranberries but once I though about it, it really doesn't compare to anything. It is a sticky, sugary, sweet, and gummy red soda. This drink does taste good, but the gumminess made my mouth feel like it was clogged with a mucus-like substance. Well, it tasted pretty good albeit there was lots of gumminess but what is in this thing? Well, it has 40 milligrams of niacin, 10 milligrams of vitamin b6, 9.6 micrograms of vitamin b12, 10 milligrams of pantothenic acid, and a 1,130 milligram proprietary blend consisting of taurine, caffeine, inositol, and coenzyme q10. The caffeine content is unknown but I am going to make an educated guess on how much caffeine is in this drink. Upon looking at the design of the drink, the graphics and font do not scream "Hey, look at me I have tons of caffeine!". Instead, it looks just like a generic energy drink. So with that being said, the drink probably contains anywhere from 150 to 200 milligrams of caffeine. As for the kick, well I got a moderate boost of energy from this guy. The effect lasted roughly 2 to 3 hours and there was only a minor crash. To conclude, The Shockwave Infrared Energy Drink tastes like a red soda, has a decent energy blend, and has a moderate kick. Rating? A decent and moderate 7.2 out of 10.

REVIEW OF ROCKSTAR JUICED GUAVA

CAFFEINE CONTENT: 160 MILLIGRAMS PER 16 OUNCE CAN.

RATING: 8.4 OUT OF 10

This is my review of Rockstar Juiced Guava. First off, this drink comes in a purple 16 ounce aluminum can. The color inside, which is shown above in the photo, is a redish pink color that is actually pretty bright. Rockstar Juiced Guava is 50 percent juice and the juice is a mixture of apple, pear, and guava fruit juices. As for the taste, well it took me a while to pinpoint the flavor but I think I have it. It is a sweet, fruity, sour, and candy-like taste that was quite delicious. The fruity flavor reminded me of the fruityness you get from a Jolly Rancher. Overall, this drink tasted great but what is in it? It has 40 milligrams of vitamin b3, 20 milligrams of vitamin b5, 4 milligrams of vitamin b6, 12 micrograms of vitamin b12. It also has a 2,700 milligram energy blend which consists of 2,000 milligrams of taurine, 300 milligrams of gingko biloba leaf extract, 160 milligrams of caffeine, 50 milligrams of guarana seed extract, 50 milligrams of inositol, 50 milligrams of l-carnitine, 50 milligrams of panax ginseng extract, and finally 40 milligrams of milk thistle extract. That is a total of 12 energy enhancing ingredients which all tied in to provide me with an ample kick, not the strongest on the planet but definitely noticeable. If you don't drink energy drinks as much as I do then the combination of caffeine, b-vitamins, guarana, etc., should give you a nice kick. So, to conclude, you have a great taste, a great energy blend, a decent kick, and at about 2 dollars and 29 cents a can it has a reasonable price as well. Rating? 8.4 out of 10.

REVIEW OF BOM DIA CONQUER

CAFFEINE CONTENT: UNKNOWN

RATING: 7.6 OUT OF 10.

Here is my evaluation on the Bom Dia Conquer Healthy Energy Drink. This drink comes in a unique 11.5 ounce plastic bottle. The color inside is a deep purple and red and it is 100 percent juice. The juice comes from Acai which is one of the most powerful antioxidants in the world. The taste is actually quite splendid as you get a very unique mix of Acai juice and maybe some Mango Juice as well even though I doubt there is any in there. This drink gets its energy from yerba mate, guarana, b vitamins, black tea, and taurine. I drank this bad boy fast and on an empty stomach to get the best kick. Actually, it wasn't that bad. I have no idea how much caffeine is in this beverage but my guess is maybe 60 to 80 milligrams. I don't see this beverage having more than 100 milligrams of caffeine. Unfortunately this drink does cost 2 dollars and 99 cents which is about 1 dollar more than market leaders Monster and Red Bull. This drink should give you a kick that is at mid-level intensity and it should last about 3 hours. This drink is most likely a mix between a functional beverage and an energy beverage. I also like that this drink has 100 percent juice which makes me feel that you are actually getting something out of it. So, to conclude, Bom Dia Conquer gets a 7.6 out of 10.

REVIEW OF XYIENCE XENERGY CRAN RAZZ-100th REVIEW!

CAFFEINE CONTENT: 200 MILLIGRAMS PER 16 OUNCE CAN.

RATING: 8.3 OUT OF 10

Well this is one heck of a milestone as this is my 100th review. First off Xyience Xenergy Cran Razz comes in a silver 16 ounce aluminum can and has a very distinct flavor to it. I could taste a nice mixture of cranberry and raspberry with minimal carbonation and a delicate sour touch. In fact, right on the can it says "Great Tasting" and they were right. Well it tasted great but what is in this drink? It has 40 milligrams of vitamin b3, 10 milligrams of vitamin b6, 10 micrograms of vitamin b12, 100 milligrams of vitamin b5, 320 milligrams of sodium, 30 milligrams of potassium, and a 2,680 milligram energy blend consisting of taurine, glucuronolactone, caffeine, guarana extract, panax ginseng extract, inositol, and l-carnitine. This time I took this drink on an empty stomach and the 200 milligrams of caffeine definitely delivered a solid kick. No this is not the strongest energy drink on the market but it is pretty good. The kick lasted about 4 hours and there was no crash. Overall I do like Xyience Xenergy Cran Razz. It has a great, crisp flavor, some nice energy ingredients and a solid kick. I think I will give my 100th review a rating of 8.3 out of 10.

REVIEW OF XYIENCE XENERGY APPLE JAK'D

CAFFEINE CONTENT: 200 MILLIGRAMS PER 16 OUNCE CAN.

RATING: 7.3 OUT OF 10.

So this is my 99th review which means my 100th review will be tomorrow and I am not going to tell you what it is. As for my 99th review I will evaluate the Xyience Xenergy Apple Jak'd Energy Drink. This drink is the Official Energy Drink of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, or U.F.C. for short. This drink comes in a hardcore black 16 ounce can. The taste is a little hard to explain but the best I could come up with was liquid Apple Jolly Ranchers with maybe a hint of seltzer water. The carbonation on this drink was very minimal which made for easily guzzling. So, at the top of the can it says Xtreme Energy Drink so it must have tons of crazy ingredients and tons of caffeine. Well it has 40 milligrams of niacin, 10 milligrams of vitamin b6, 20 micrograms of vitamin b12, 100 milligrams of pantothenic acid, 320 milligrams of sodium, 30 milligrams of potassium, and a 2,700 milligram energy blend which consists of taurine, caffeine, glucuronolactone, guarana extract, panax ginseng extract, inositol, and l-carnitine. Well, it does have a nice list of energy enhancing ingredients but I wouldn't go as far as calling it an "Xtreme Energy Drink". The caffeine content of this drink is 200 milligrams per 16 ounce can. The kick was pretty decent but I have definately had better energy drinks than this. It was only a minor boost but if you are somebody who only drinks energy drinks maybe once or twice a month than this drink might be for you. It has that classic super sweet liquid candy flavor that some energy drinks have and a nice energy blend. Unfortuntely, it failed to give me a substantial energy boost. I will give Xyience Xenergy Apple Jak'd Energy Drink a rating of 7.3 out of 10.

REVIEW OF MONSTER JAVA LOCA MOCA

CAFFEINE CONTENT: 160 MILLIGRAMS PER 15 OUNCE CAN.

RATING: 8.4 OUT OF 10.

So, this is my review of Monster Java Loca Moca. To start, this drink comes in a brown, aluminum 16 ounce can and has an iced coffee colored liquid inside. This drink tastes phenomenal and it is non-carbonated so it is easy to chug. The taste is similar to a Starbucks Mocha but it is more creamy than the Starbucks. Overall, this drink really pleased my palate like all the other Monster Javas. Well before we get to the kick, what is in Monster Java Loca Moca? Well, it has 450 milligrams of potassium, 3.1875 milligrams of vitamin b2, 37.5 milligrams of vitamin b3, 3.75 milligrams of vitamin b6, 11.25 milligrams of vitamin b12, 1,000 milligrams of taurine, 400 milligrams of panax ginseng, and a 5,000 milligram energy blend consisting of l-carnitine, glucose, caffeine, guarana, inositol, glucuronolactone, and maltodextrin. Wow, a really nice blend but did it give me the kick in the pants that I needed? Well, the kick was alright but nothing over the top. It gave me a mid-level boost that lasted about 3 hours. However, you have to take in to consideration that I am a caffeine junkie. I don't mean to brag or anything but I can ingest 500 milligrams of caffeine a day and still be able to sleep at night. So this drink should work pretty well for the average person. Rating? 8.4 out of 10.

REVIEW OF FUZE CRANBERRY RASPBERRY

CAFFEINE CONTENT: NO CAFFEINE

RATING: 8.3 OUT OF 10.

So, you may be asking yourself, why is this guy reviewing Fuze on an energy drink blog. Well, first of all, I review more than just energy drinks, I review all sorts of cool beverages. The second reason is that I review functional beverages and Fuze fits into that category. Fuze looks to be relatively healthy as it has only one artificial sweetener in it and the rest of the ingredients seem to be ok. It is not pounded with sugar like Red Bull, Monster, Rockstar, NOS, or Full Throttle. The taste is something that is out of this world! It is one heck of a delicious blend of sweet cranberries and raspberries with a succulent touch of acesulfame potassium, the artificial sweetener used in Fuze. This drink was light, refreshing, and non-carbonated so it went down smoothly. So, I mentioned before that this is a functional beverage, but what is in it that makes it that way? Well, It has 43 micrograms of chromium which helps you get energy from food, vitamin c which boosts your immune system, 23 milligrams of l-carnitine which is an ingredient used during metabolism, and 462 milligrams of super citramax which is an extract of an Asian fruit. So, did Fuze give me a good boost? No, but that is because it is not really meant to give you a boost. This drink is all about taste and health benefits. I like their functional blend and it makes me think that I am actually getting something out of this thing besides 12 teaspoons of sugar. So, with that being said, Fuze Cranberry Raspberry gets an 8.3 out of 10 for tasting phenomenal and having some health benefits as well.

REVIEW OF BOM DIA TRANSCEND

CAFFEINE CONTENT: UNKNOWN.

RATING: 7 OUT OF 10.

I have to be honest about this one: I have never heard of Bom Dia until today. Bom Dia is an energy drink that is based on the amazing berry called Acai. Interesting enough, most people don't know how to pronounce Acai. Well, it is pronounced Uh-Sah-EE. So there, now you know. Bom Dia comes in a 11.5 ounce plastic bottle and the liquid inside is a deep purple. The taste is very pleasant. I don't know how to describe it besides saying it tastes like Acai Juice. If you are sick of the sticky, syrupy flavor you get from Monster or Red Bull, then give this a try. Bom Dia also has a nice little energy blend to go along with the great taste. It has 300 percent daily value of vitamin b6, 300 percent daily value of vitamin b12, green tea, l-theanine, and guarana. Now, I know that guarana is basically natural caffeine but I have no idea how much caffeine is in this thing. After reading the ingredients I noticed that guarana is the 3rd ingredient and this thing also has taurine in it. So, did this give me a nice kick? Well, it was hard to tell. I even forgot I had it so that is a problem right there. I didn't expect this thing to give me tons of energy and I was right, it gave me next to zero energy. So, to conclude, I will give Bom Dia Transcend a rating of 7 out of 10 because of the nice taste and health benefits.

REVIEW OF REVIVE

CAFFEINE CONTENT: 85 MILLIGRAMS PER MINT.

RATING: 8.6 OUT OF 10.

Yesterday I received multiple packs of Revive Energy Mints. Before I get to the taste and kick portion of this review, just what are Revive Energy Mints? Revive Energy Mints are caffeinated mints that have three of the world's most powerful antioxidants: Acai, Mangosteen, and Goji. So, before heading to school I popped on of the mints into my mouth and got a delicious cooling sensation that lingers for a bit and is not too strong. Overall this was quite a tasty mint. Oh, and by the way the mints are light blue and about the size of a dime. So, what is in these mints that make are supposed to make them so energized? Well, it has a 101 milligram energy blend which consists of caffeine, gaurana, green tea, Goji, Acai, and Mangosteen. 85 of the 101 milligrams of stuff in the energy blend is caffeine. So, did it work? I would say so. It pulled me out of the morning slump and powered me through Conceptual Physics, Academic Strategies, Sophomore English, and finally started to wind down through United States History and Geography, my 4th hour class. This product should give you a solid 3 hours of energy if not more. One thing that I really like is the "8 hour power pack". It is a pack with 2 Revive Energy Mints so you get 170 milligrams of caffeine (more than a Monster Energy Drink) and a 202 milligram energy blend. BOO YAH! Basically, Revive Energy Mints are a perfect classroom, workout, or truck driving companion. 8.6 out of 10.

REVIEW OF RED BULL SUGAR FREE ENERGY SHOT

CAFFEINE CONTENT: 80 MILLIGRAMS PER 2 OUNCE BOTTLE.

RATING: 8.1 OUT OF 10.

So yesterday I reviewed the original Red Bull Energy Shot so today I am trying out the Red Bull Sugar Free Energy Shot. First off, this 2 ounce bottle comes in a plastic container that looks like a miniature Sugar Free Red Bull. As I take off the top I am hit with a scent of artificial sweetener and that classic Red Bull smell. When I slammed it down I got that nearly indescribable Red Bull flavor with a hint of artificial sweetener. There was absolutely no medicinal or bitter flavor to speak of. Well before we get to the kick, what is in this bad boy? Well it has 20 milligrams of niacin, 5 micrograms of vitamin b12, 5 milligrams of pantothenic acid, 80 milligrams of caffeine, 1,000 milligrams of taurine, and glucuronolactone. Not to mention only 2 calories (5 Hour Energy has 4) and no sugar. I thought I would put Red Bull Sugar Free Energy Shot to the taste by slamming it before doing some yard work. I would have to say that it worked as I got a mid-level boost that lasted for about 3 hours and 30 minutes. Not bad for a shot with only 80 milligrams of caffeine. If you would like to know what Red Bull Sugar Free Energy Shot is actually supposed to do to you then I will tell you. It is supposed to give you sustained energy for hours. It also Improves performance, especially in times of increased stress or strain. It increases concentration and improves reaction speed and it stimulates metabolism. I am not sure it did all those but I do know that it gave me energy. So, to conclude, I am going to give it a rating of 8.1 out of 10 because it has a great taste and the kick is not to shabby either.

REVIEW OF RED BULL ENERGY SHOT

CAFFEINE CONTENT: 80 MILLIGRAMS PER 2 OUNCE BOTTLE.

RATING: 7.5 OUT OF 10.

Well it is Halloween once again and the energy shot I am going to review is Red Bull Energy Shot. Red Bull Energy Shot is a fairly new shot and hopefully it will do good in the taste and kick portion of this review. I took a shot glass from the cabinet and poured half the bottle in. This drink comes out a nice caramel color and the taste is actually quite splendid. It tasted like non-carbonated Red Bull so it is that delicious apple flavor that you are so familiar with. I detected no medicinal or bitter aftertaste at all. After I initially tasted it, I poured the rest of the bottle in the glass and slammed away. Overall this shot really outdid itself in the taste category. Well done Red Bull. As for the kick I didn't feel a whole lot from Red Bull. The energy ingredients are 80 milligrams of caffeine, 1,000 milligrams of taurine, glucuronolactone, and b vitamins. I would say that the kick is definitely better than the canned Red Bull but it is not nearly as good as 5 Hour Energy in my opinion. But then again, 5 Hour Energy has 58 more milligrams of caffeine than Red Bull Energy Shot and as a matter of fact, Red Bull Energy Shot has the lowest amount of caffeine in any 2 ounce shot so that is saying something. This drink will definitely sell because it is made by the market leader in energy drinks. To conclude, I am going to give Red Bull Energy Shot a rating of 7.5 out of 10. It is a good idea, but it would be nice if Red Bull stepped up to the plate and created a shot with more caffeine.

REVIEW OF VENOM DEATH ADDER

CAFFEINE CONTENT: 165 MILLIGRAMS PER 16.9 OUNCE BOTTLE.

RATING: 7.4 OUT OF 10

So, it looks like this is the Fruit Punch version of Venom Energy Drink. Venom Death Adder comes in a nice orange and black aluminum bottle that is extremely tough. This bottle pays attention to details such as the scales around the snakes eye. When I opened the bottle I got a whiff of artificial fruit punch and an energy drink smell. When I tasted it, I got a mix between either Red Bull and fruit punch or Monster and fruit punch. So, I guess you could say that it is a combination of Red Bull, Monster, and fruit punch. Just for kicks I decided to look at the ingredients to see if any juices were used. There weren't any juices to speak of. This has the same blend that all of the Venom's have: 1.7 milligrams of riboflavin, 20 milligrams of niacin, 2 milligrams of vitamin b6, 6 micrograms of vitamin b12, 200 milligrams of ginseng extract, and a 3,000 milligram energy blend consisting of taurine, l-carnitine, caffeine, guarana, inositol, glucuronolactone, and maltodextrin. So, this drink didn't really do a whole lot to me. I mean, it kept me awake through my first hour but by fourth hour I crashed. And I don't know about you but crashing from an energy drink is actually pretty rare for me. So, to conclude I am going to give Venom Death Adder a rating of 7.4 out of 10 because of its fine taste.

REVIEW OF FULL THROTTLE BLUE DEMON

CAFFEINE CONTENT: 141 MILLIGRAMS PER 16 OUNCE CAN.

RATING: 7.9 OUT OF 10.

So this is the blue agave flavor of Full Throttle Energy Drink. I think I will start by pointing out that there is no agave in this drink at all. It just good, fake, agave flavor. When I poured this drink in a cup, I noticed it was a lovely blue color with a very slight purple tint. This drink has a classic sweet tart taste that is similar to most energy drinks. It is very sweet and has a sour bite to it as well. Full Throttle has a 3,000 milligram energy blend consisting of guarana extract, ginseng extract, caffeine, taurine, and a couple other ingredients as well as a nice amount of b vitamins. The caffeine content is 141 milligrams per 16 ounce can. The kick this thing gives off is also pretty good. It works fast and does a nice job keeping you alert through a boring session of speed shopping. The kick lasts about 3 hours and 30 minutes which is average. Overall, I will give Full Throttle Blue Demon a rating of 7.9 out of 10. And since this review is quite short, I will tell you what drinks I will be reviewing in the future. Well, tomorrow I am going to review Venom Death Adder and if I ever get samples I will be reviewing Slap and Go Fast.

REVIEW OF VENOM MOJAVE RATTLER

CAFFEINE CONTENT: 165 MILLIGRAMS PER 16.9 OUNCE BOTTLE.

RATING: 7.8 OUT OF 10.

So, this is the low carbohydrate version of Venom Energy Drink. Venom Mojave Rattler comes in a sturdy 16.9 ounce aluminum bottle. The color that comes out of the bottle is a amber red color that differs slightly from Red Bull, Monster and Rockstar. As you can see I took a picture of the bottle and the color inside the bottle. Unfortunately, the glass was very reflective so it is kind of hard to see. Anyway, Venom Mojave Rattler tasted like Monster Lo-Carb but with a slight twist. I wasn't sure what the twist was but it could have been the hint of apple. So, Venom Mojave Rattler has 1.7 milligrams of riboflavin, 20 milligrams of niacin, 2 milligrams of vitamin b6, 6 micrograms of vitamin b12, 200 milligrams of ginseng extract, and a 3,000 milligram energy blend consisting of taurine, l-carnitine, caffeine, gaurana, inositol, glucuronolactone, and maltodextrin. The caffeine content is 165 milligrams per 16.9 ounce bottle. The kick is better than the original but that was probably because I drank it faster. The kick took a while to kick in but when it did it wasn't bad. I can still feel it after about 2 hours which is not bad. The kick should last around 3 hours or so. Ok, time to give this drink a rating. 7.8 out of 10.

REVIEW OF VENOM BLACK MAMBA

CAFFEINE CONTENT: 165 MILLIGRAMS PER 16.9 OUNCE BOTTLE.

RATING: 6.3 OUT OF 10.

So, for my 90th review, I will review Venom Black Mamba. Venom is made by Dr. Pepper Seven Up and it comes in a sturdy, red and black, 16.9 ounce bottle. Actually, it's more of a bottle and can mixed together. As far as taste, Venom is a Red Bull Clone but different in a way. Perhaps it is because it is more gummy, or maybe more sweet. It also has a very strong smell to it which reminded me of a cherry sucker or cherry candy. The color is the same amber color you get with Monster or Red Bull. So, before we can go to the kick, what's in this thing? Well, it has 1.7 milligrams of riboflavin, 20 milligrams of niacin, 2 milligrams of vitamin b6, 6 micrograms of vitamin b12, 200 milligrams of ginseng extract, and a 3,000 milligram energy blend consisting of taurine, l-carnitine, caffeine, guarana, inositol, glucurononlactone, and maltodextrin. Caffeine content is rated at 165 milligrams per 16.9 ounce can. As for the kick, well there wasn't much of one. I got a decent kick that lasted for about 90 minutes and then I crashed. I don't know about you, but crashing over an energy drink is pretty rare for me. Perhaps it is because of the 59 grams of sugar but I doubt it. Anyway, to conclude I will give Venom Black Mamba a rating of 6.3 out of 10 because the taste wasn't too bad but the kick let me down.

REVIEW OF CELSIUS SPARKLING WILD BERRY

CAFFEINE CONTENT: 200 MILLIGRAMS PER 12 OUNCE CAN.

RATING: 9.6 OUT OF 10!

A couple days ago, I got these for free from my dad who gets them for free at his work. Celsius is an energy drink designed to burn up to 100 calories per can. But don't think about drinking more than 2 of these a day as it has 200 milligrams of caffeine in a 12 ounce can. Right on the can it says "Tastes Great" so I had high expectations. I wouldn't say the drink tasted amazing but it did taste pretty good. The flavor is best described as a unique wild berry flavor. I am not sure what berries I was tasting but that doesn't really matter. What does matter is that it tasted good. So, Celsius Sparkling Wild Berry has a 1,810 milligram energy blend consisting of taurine, guarana extract, green tea extract, caffeine anhydrous, glucuronolactone, and ginger extract. It has 200 milligrams of caffeine per 12 ounce can. As far as the kick, well let's just say I was pretty focused, alert, and hyper for a long time. It starts out having no kick but when it kicks in gear, oh man! This drink is amazing. It tasted pretty good, has a good energy blend, and has a great, great kick. This drink is definitely going on my Elite Energy Drink list. 9.6 out of 10!!!

REVIEW OF XS PEACH TEA BLAST

CAFFEINE CONTENT: 83 MILLIGRAMS PER 8.3 OUNCE CAN.

RATING: 7.7 OUT OF 10.

I have always wanted to know one question about XS. Is it possible for them to make a drink that doesn't taste delicious? Actually yes it is. Enter XS Peach Tea Blast. It's a blend of white, green, and black teas. I will say that it did not taste very good but you have to realize that taste is subjective. I also thought that it was bitter. So, I didn't like the taste of XS Peach Tea Blast, but what is in it? Well you basically have 83 milligrams of caffeine, over 4,000% daily value of vitamin b12, 300% vitamin b3, and a couple more b vitamins in there as well. Unfortunately, the kick doesn't quite make up for the taste. It does do a pretty good job though as it lasts around 3 to maybe 4 hours. However, it did not help me through Conceptual Physics as I was still tired. Anyway, this review is really short so I am going to tell you what energy drink reviews are coming up soon. I am going to review Celsius Wild Berry, Venom Black Mamba, and Red Bull Energy Shot should get reviewed sometime in the near future. Ok, now I am going to give XS Peach Tea Blast a rating. I will give it a 7.7 out of 10.

REVIEW OF STARBUCKS DOUBLESHOT CINNAMON DULCE

CAFFEINE CONTENT: 146 MILLIGRAMS PER 15 OUNCE CAN.

RATING: 8.6 OUT OF 10.

Almost all of us have been to a Starbucks and some of us have even ordered the Cinnamon Dulce. But what if Starbucks made an energy drink? What if one of their flavors was Cinnamon Dulce? Well, than you would have Starbucks Doubleshot Cinnamon Dulce. There are a lot of coffee based energy drinks out there such as Monster Java, Rockstar Roasted, and Starbucks Doubleshot. Starbucks Doubleshot differs from Monster Java and Rockstar Roasted because the coffee flavor is much more noticeable. It isn't just coffee flavored milk. It is richer and a delicious aftertaste of iced coffee lingers for a while. It might not be Cinnamon Dulce, but it certainly is delicious. Starbucks Doubleshot also has some key energy enhancing ingredients such as 2,000 milligrams of maltodextrin, 1,800 milligrams of taurine, 450 milligrams of l-carnitine, 180 milligrams of inositol, 325 milligrams of panax ginseng, and 90 milligrams of guarana. The caffeine content is not listed on the can but energyfiend.com tells us that it has 146 milligrams per 15 ounce can. The kick is also pretty good. It works fast and lasts for a pretty long time. Once again I took it before school started and once again it got me through my tougher classes. To conclude, Starbucks Doubleshot Cinnamon Dulce tastes great, has a good energy list and delivers a nice kick. Rating? 8.6 out of 10.

REVIEW OF EUPHORIC POMEGRANATE PASSION FRUIT

CAFFEINE CONTENT: 140 MILLIGRAMS PER 16 OUNCE CAN.

RATING: 7.1 OUT OF 10.

I can not believe I found this drink and guess where I found it? Go ahead, guess. Nope, you're wrong. I got it at D and W Fresh Market. After some thought, I decided to try the pomegranate passion fruit flavor. So, this thing tastes just okay as it has an interesting yet dull infusion of passion fruit and pomegranate. This drink also gives you cottonmouth otherwise known as an oral dryness. I actually had a hard time finish all 16 ounces. So, what is in Euphoric Pomegranate Passion Fruit? Well there is 140 milligrams of caffeine, 1,200 milligrams of taurine, 50 milligrams of ginseng extract, 80 milligrams of damiana leaf extract, 160 milligrams of inositol, 60 milligrams of maca root extract, 100 milligrams of suma root extract and 5 micrograms of vitamin b12. All in all, that is a 1,790 milligram energy blend which isn't too bad. The kick I got from this was pretty good but not amazing. It helped me get through Conceptual Physics and less excited classes such as Sophomore English. Overall, this drink isn't too bad. Sure the taste is dull but it has a pretty good energy blend and the kick almost makes up for the taste. Rating? 7.1 out of 10.
