Energy Drink Reviews

It’s become quite a thrill to head up to my corner store on an almost daily basis to see if I can find any new caffienated goodies to purchase. I also find myself looking for extremely obscure energy drinks to get my lips on. With this in mind I came across the Bing (Black Cherry Energy Drink). Along with Bing I will also will be reviewing Rockstar Juiced (Pomegranate flavor).

Bing: Black Cherry (Energy Drink)

Taste: The black cherry flavor immediately made itself known as soon as it hit my tongue. Unfortunately that wonderful Bing cherry flavor was gone just as quickly as it showed up to the party leaving that very familiar mediciny energy drink taste.

Boost: At almost 15 minutes on the dot I felt the Bing kicking in. I immediately felt alert and wide-eyed.

Longevity: After an hour I was feeling pretty good. At around 2 hours I felt myself coming down but still alert. At around 2.5-3 hours the effects of the Bing was completely gone but there was no crash in sight.

Final Verdict: Once again this drink would have to fall into the great to drink but not terribly functional as an energy drink category. Not necessarily a bad thing but if I’m in need of some fuel for a cram session Bing will not be what I grab.

Rockstar: Juiced Pomegranate (Energy Drink)

Taste: There’s an interesting back end taste to this flavored Rockstar. My guess it’s the pomegranate creeping up after energy drink taste finally dissipates. Thankfully neither is too harsh and the drink went down fairly smoothly.

Boost: There was a slight boost at around 25 minutes that was barely noticeable but there nonetheless.

Longevity: That semi alertness continued for almost an hour and a half but I’m not positive whether it was me waking up naturally or the drink itself. At the very least there was no crash to be found and in the end I did end up being alert.

Final Verdict: I would not suggest to to anyone looking for a tasty beverage or an energy drink. While the taste was passable but not something I would want to drink on a daily basis.
