Red Rain

Been waiting for someone to trade me this drink for awhile. Had all of them but the original. Didn't think I would get it from California though.

Taste- Ive had so many Red bull imitation drinks they're all starting to taste the same to me, but I would say red rain is one of the closest drinks to the actual red bull. Has kind of a rougher flavor which I like sometimes.

RATING-6.5/10

Buzz- Vitamin B3 80% rda. 70% B6. 70% niacin and just 4% B12 (wtf is that?)

Max Velocity: Sugar Free

Hello readers! I decided to put pizza in this review to make it more interesting for you since this is probably one of the least cared about drinks I will review.

Taste- Well the pizza was okay. It was papa johns 4 cheese. Now I hate papa johns and I hate authentic pizza even more. Don't call me ignorant just yet, I work at a authentic Italian restaurant called macianos and I know how to make it good. You make it fattening and American like domino's. Now my opinions on the drink; shitty sugar free red bull clone.

RATING- (pizza) 7.5/10 (drink) 4.5/10

Buzz- Pizza gave me more of a buzz than the drink.

Like I said with zun your going to be seeing a lot of these brain drinks now and Ive already reviewed two others since then. I picked this one up at loglis before my bike ride.

Taste- Kind of like carbonated tang. I wouldn't doubt that they use a powder to make this, and it probably comes in a single powder form also. Its not they great but hey, I'm sure taste is not what brought you to drink it.

RATING-6/10

Buzz- What to drink when you want to think. It only contains 100 mgs caffeine, 50% rda vitamin E, B6 and B12 and a special ingredient called cognizin which does so many things for your brain that I can even begin to describe so here is the official website with the information http://www.cognizin.com/science.html

I love drinks like this! Totally obscure rare drinks that your not sure if its 100% safe to drink. Apparently this drink has been out for 25 years and its not considered a energy drink but a bionic drink. Don't know what that means but its Asian and I'm sure they put a bunch of crazy things in here to give you that perfect zen.

Taste-Nothing like I expected. Its a goopy green looking color but is actually has a thin refreshing feel with a crisp flavorful taste. Kinda similar to hansons pro but more of a bubble gum pop taste. Not bad at all!

RATING-9/10

Buzz- Its completely in Japanese so I had to actually test it out. I played a nice game of basketball got really tired then chugged this. I don't know if it was my body or this but I was on my feet again within minuets ready to go. I know for sure it didn't give me the typical hardcore buzz like monsters and amps and those kind of drink do but like I said I'm sure this has A LOT of natural herbs and vitamins. I mean Asians are the ones who discovered a lot of them like ginseng and ginko biolba.

I dont think Ive ever had a more fucked up can. Thank you people riding in my car in the back seat who stepped all over these.

Taste-Red bull to the core. I wish I could say more.

RATING-6.5/10

Buzz- Probably your typical energy drink/red bull blend made with taurine, caffeine and B vitamins. This seems to be the basic and  most easy route for energy drink company's to take now a' days. 90% rda Vitamin B3. 240% vitamin B6. 80% vitamin B12 and 45% vitamin B12.

Max Velocity: Berry Pomegranate - Sugar Free

Left my cans in the back seat for one day and they are destroyed. I should be more careful with my collector drinks. Especially the ones I cant get around here.

Taste- Like I said last week; Ive had so many sugar free berry drinks lately and I know how they are all going to taste. This one came along just to prove me wrong, not that its good but it doesn't have the splenda fake berry taste. Drinks like that they just try to hard, usually to appeal to the female crowd. This is just a cheap drink where they didn't give a fuck, but it tastes just like any dulled out flavor just not bitter and too nasty. Quite the opposite with the vitamin dust taste.

Max Velocity: Uncaged - Sugar Free

Ive developed a photogenic taste memory with energy drinks. I can drink one and 2 weeks from now tell you exactly how it tasted. Now when it comes to remembering other things.. I'm not so good.

Taste- Didn't know it was sugar free at first, nor could I tell. It has a melon citrus flavor and that's really all their is to say about it.

ThinkQ: Citricity

Brain fuel. Hydration. Electrolyte balance. Mood enhancement. Stress relief. Stamina. Now this, is what I call an energy drink!

Taste- Its thick on the palate which goes nice this the carbonation. Its almost like if sunny d was all natural (yeah right) and carbonated this would be it. Its made with cane sugar and fruit juice only for color. Which makes sense. Much better than the berry, but this aint no pop.

RATING-6/10

Buzz- I really like where energy drink are going. We got drinks for sports and working out, your regular good tasting drinks to drink with your friends and these drinks to have when your feeling low and to give you a healthy good feeling pep for the day. This has a lot of great stuff, and is a better drink than zun for sure. Proprietary blend 738 mgs l-tyrosine. suma Brazilian ginseng. acai. ginko biloba. SAMe (natural in the body. Reduces pain, illness and depression) gammo amino butric acid. caffeine.CQ10. alpha GPC and vinpocetine. Also 100% rda of all B vitamins.

Wired: B12 Rush - Diet

I still don't have my own camera, I still use my moms phone haha. I got so bored at home all by my lonesome I had to grab a drink and review it. I would just use pictures off the Internet every time but then you guys wouldn't believe that a actually had that drink.

Taste- So bad you cant even take full drinks, you have to sip on it. Its got a strong carbonation with a very strong artificial berry taste that I'm getting very sick of. Its the flavor for so many drinks now. This one doesn't say berry but if you ever see a sugar free berry drinks avoid it like the plague. They are never good.

RATING-3.5/10

Buzz- There is nothing in this drink that will matter except the retarded high level of vitamin B12. Usually company's give you 80% rda, this one has 3000%. That like wayyy too much of a good thing but its probably too much for your body to process at one time and vitamin B isn't like caffeine or taurine; its stored in your body and keeps your natural energy levels healthy, and I'm certain we all have enough of it. We can even get enough from eating meat twice a day. We also have 20 mgs B3. 5 mgs B6 and pantothenic acid. 50 mgs inositol. 47 mgs caffeine and 27 mgs taurine. I will give it points for having a crazy amount of B12, but more than likely it wont effect you unless your body has been shy of  vitamin B for awhile and for that would have to be vegan.

Max Velocity: Uncaged

Out in Peoria Illinois and when to a super saver to find 6 new drinks. Ex reviewer Nick said these were his first energy drinks but he couldn't remember where he got them. Ive never even heard of them.

Taste- It has a mango taste, its actually very good, especially for being a dollar. Not too fruity but still like a juiced energy drink (which are the best in my opinion). Pick this drink up if you happen to see it!

Nuclear: Cherry Limeade - Sugar Free

Still on these bullshit nuclear drinks.. Do I always sound this negative in my reviews?

Taste- A lot of these drinks Ive been reviewing Ive enjoyed a lot more on ice. Maybe its because its summer or maybe they are just better on the rocks. I can say for certain sugar free drinks like this are 10x better and more refreshing on ice. Its more crisp and refreshing and makes the perfect summer drink to sip on. But by itself you really don't even want it.

RATING-7/10

Buzz- I see it has taurine first, caffeine then glucuronolactone in the ingredients but it only mentions 90% rda vitamin B3. 240% B6 80% B12 and 45% pantothenic acid.

Re Up: Sugar Free

I love the idea of using a product for charity but not when you have to cut the quality dramatically.

Taste- First off id like to mention its not even a real label, its just like a shrink wrap thing that's not even on the can. The taste is so bad. Everything wrong with a red bull clone this drink has. Its chalky, its bitter, its dry and you can taste the artificial sweetener over it all.

RATING-2.5/10

Buzz- Not a typical red bull blend. I'm impressed you navy bastards. Maybe you do own the seas.1150 mgs taurine, caffeine, glucuronolactone and gaurana. Most of that I guarantee you is taurine and 87 mgs of it is caffeine. For vitamins we have 8 mgs thiamin (500% rda very nice) 2 mgs riboflavin. 20 mgs vitamin B6. 2 mgs niacin. 400 mgs folic acid. 30 mgs vitamin B12 (500% rda very nice!!) and 10 mgs pantothenic acid. Could have done better for the energy ingredients but for the vitamins I was impressed, that's more than most company's usually put. But you can tell it affected the taste.

Wired: Lemonade

Slowly but surely finishing these California reviews. I was gone for a week to a music festival where I found 6 more drinks that I have to review. At least I'm not at a dry spell again. Its either nothing for a long time or a bunch of drinks at once.

Taste-Just your average tasting artificial lemonade. There is so much of a different taste between fresh squeezed lemonade made with real sugar and this crap made with artificial flavoring HFCS and about 10 unnatural ingredients including one that is known to be addictive and another that can be considered a poison.

RATING-6/10

Buzz- Was not expecting this from wired. I assumed it would be some crazy bad ass blend like all the other wired drinks Ive had. This is just insulting to the company. 50 mgs inositol. 47 mgs caffeine. 27 mgs taurine. 20 mgs niacin. 5 mgs vitamin B6. 90 mgs vitamin B12 and 5 mgs pantothenic acid. What is this a vitamin water with a ton of vitamin B12?

ThinQ: Berry

I was mistaken. This was the drink I went all over the walmarts to find not zun. But I was at walmart last night shopping for this week long music festival called cornerstone and my friend pointed it out.

Taste- I think you could take purple hand soap and use it as a syrup and it would taste the same. Ive had soap in my mouth before and the lingering after taste is just like it with some mixed berry scent.. I mean flavor, and the drink isnt even sugar free.

RATING-3/10

Buzz- I had them mistaken because they are both brain boosting drinks. This has a lot of great stuff, and is a better drink than zun for sure. Propietary blend 738 mgs l-tyrosine. suma brazilian ginseng. acai. ginko biloba. SAMe (natural in the body. Reduces pain, illness and depression) gammo amino butric acid. caffeine.CQ10. alpha GPC and vinpocetine. Also 100% rda of all B vitamins.

Zun: Lite

Taste- As soon as I open the can I could smell how awesome this drink was going to be. It had a blue bubble gum smell and taste without tasting sugar free at all. In my head I was saying I'm going to give this a ten for sure, but a drink has to be absolutely perfect tasting for that and it was a tincy bit lite on flavor but that's a definite exception for being so good and how low on sugar it was. Better than the original and I like how it was a totally different flavor.

RATING-9.5/10


Buzz- A brain boosting drink. I would buy these on the regular if I could. I love the idea of enhancing your mind naturally to think and feel more clearly. Most energy drinks take the route with vitamins and caffeine that affect your body more than mind and kind of are just blah. There needs to be more drinks like this.415 mgs CoQ10 (a natural substance in your body that turns food into energy) choline (again, something already in your body. A chemical in your brain that helps your concintration) and taurine. With 75 mgs caffeine and 70% rda vitamins E,C,B12 and B6. We could have more ingridients here but drinks like these would end up costing 7 dollars a can. Too bad they will never make them because I would buy them! This drink gets points for being one of the few drinks of its kind and hopefully the start of something new. But it fails on the amount of mgs. Still enough to have an effect for sure, but there could be so much more!
