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.

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 Focus Peach Mango Punch
January 4th, 2025A tangy and sharp tasting tropical energy drink. Nothing particularly special but it packs a punch in terms of flavour and a decent hit of caffeine too.
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…
Brite: Lemon Lime
December 21st, 2024Ooh, now this has a sharpness to it. That’s good, don’t get me wrong there, and you can certainly taste the citrus kick from the lemon. But, hidden in that taste was something else that I couldn’t put my finger on so I went looking through the ingredients. Turns out they’ve used apple juice in there which you can definitely pick up on, but also there’s a bitter aftertaste that I reckon is matcha. I’m personally not a big fan of matcha or tea in general so for me this ruined it a bit. I love lemon and lime drinks, they’re my favourite, but the bitter aftertaste from this drink was not to my liking. If you like tea-based drinks though you might find this pleasant and refreshing.
Brite: Pineapple Mango
December 14th, 2024Much better than Raspberry Mint! This is however just a regular tropical tasting energy drink so what you sacrifice in originality you gain in being drinkable! It’s sweet and tasty and a reasonably sized 330ml can.
