THE DEFINITiVE ENERGY DRiNK EXP:erEIEN CE

Now re-featuring V energy drink: but in the new BLING EDITION



"You can't buy success but now you can buy what it tastes like"

-actual quote on can

Why did I decide to inflict this on myself without any forewarning? Because 1) I hate myself and 2) I didn't, I had Eli try this first:

It tastes like some kind of honey wine concoction mixed with I don't know what

And here's what it looks like in the glass (extra slice of lime for freshness)



In the words of hydraulicpresschannel: AND HERE WE GO

Maybe it's my lack of functioning smell sensors, but this drink was actually not that bad! The expected aftertaste of guarana and taurine slimily coating the back of my tongue before crawling its reluctant way down my throat was tempered a lot by the honey overtones, and the usually toxic citrus flavor of V was nicely countered by a sweet, all-rounded bubble sensation. Seems like they might have overcarbonated the batch to make it taste more like champagne? There's no bitter wine taste but there's a hint of grape, which I think Eli spotted before me. The slice of lime actually helped a lot by adding a bitter zest to the overly sweet energy drink as a whole.

More discussion on whether it actually gives you energy in a bit, but the screen is slowly starting to lose focus around the edges so I think there might be more to this 500ml(!) can than I was expecting. The two coffees beforehand didn't help either.

Final rating:

2/10 for the Definitive Energy Drink Experience by being actually halfway decent to drink

Update: WREN DRINKS

I don't know how well this is going to go, I can't even describe the smell
nnnnnnnnn
It's so sickly sweet and so sour at the same time
I feel like Dave just played a prank on me

I love you but you torment me

after spitting into the toilet: the aftertaste is cough medicine

it's pretty good for something you have to be coerced into drinking
