Furocity Mango Mayhem
March 15th, 2025Now this is much more inline with what you would expect from a tropical flavoured drink: mango, apricot and ‘tropical’ according to the details on the can. I’m a bit concerned about the random ‘tropical’ item in that list, I’m non-the-wiser as to what that might actually be, but there’s no mistaking the tangy and sharp tropical flavouring you’ll be familiar with from every other tropical drink out there.
Ferocity Watermelon Twist
March 8th, 2025Smooth and fruity! I really enjoyed this, it was refreshing and interesting without getting too sickly I’d definitely get this one again. Conveniently the can says that this is watermelon and strawberry flavour and I reckon the strawberry is what’s making this so good.

Furocity Berry Freeze
March 1st, 2025This is basically WKD Blue, hopefully without the alcohol though. If you’re after a flavour description then WKD Blue is the closest I can think of. It’s slightly sharp and refreshing, not like your normal blue raspberry, definitely a lot more like WKD than anything else!

Furocity Tropical Thunder
February 22nd, 2025It’s a tropical energy drink! Not too tangy, quite smooth really and the passionfruit is the main flavour rather than the peach (is peach a tropical fruit? I don’t think it is…). A large can, low in calories, best served chilled because it gets a bit sickly as it warms up.

Furocity Lemon Blast
February 15th, 2025A chance visit to Iceland (the shop, sadly not the country) flagged up an expansion of the Furocity energy drink range so of course I had to try them. I’ve decided to start with Lemon Blast because I love lemon drinks. Helpfully, all of the Furocity drinks provide a proper description of the flavour on the can amongst the small print, so this one is actually lemon, lime and mint. You can’t directly taste the mint but what it does is give the drink a slight freshness that balances out the sourness of the citrus fruits. This means it doesn’t need to be as sweet as most other lemon drinks are. I’d say they have found an interesting and winning way of cutting sugar!
Toxic Waste Baneful Blue Raspberry
February 8th, 2025Another energy drink discovered in a foreign port. Well, actually, this time I found it in a shop in Falmouth, UK, but it was a US import. You normally associate Toxic Waste branded products with being really sour, but this one really wasn’t that sour. Ok, there was the background flavour of Toxic Waste products that you’d expect but overall it was basically just a blue raspberry flavoured drink. Quite smooth and easy to drink, no back of the throat sourness that I was expecting at all sadly.

Levi Roots Energy: Jamaican Sunset
February 1st, 2025You can taste the watermelon, but it’s quite bitter which I’m guessing is the guava. Sadly I couldn’t taste the chilli which might have added a unique kick to the drink, but still it was a bit unusual all the same.

Levi Roots Energy: Caribbean Crush
January 25th, 2025A reasonably decent tropical drink branded with the Dragons’ Den star’s now iconic name! Apart from the branding, there isn’t too much that stands out about the product. It was a good price for a large can and contained real fruit juice too which I guess is a bonus.
Guru Good Energy Original
December 28th, 2024This was brought back for me from Canada and the can proudly declares its Canadianness in many places! Taste-wise it’s basically what you’d expect from a generic-brand energy drink – sweet, tart and sickly. What I do find very interesting though is the use of grape juice listed in the ingredients. It’s not often you see actual fruit listed in the ingredients of what is usually a “mixed fruit” flavoured drinks so it has got me thinking, is the main fruit used in other generic energy drinks actually grape?? This might be a mystery solved here…
