Missile

April 18th, 2015

So this drink, erm, looks like a.. er, missile. Definitely a missile. Not a, erm, well, it doesn’t have anywhere to put batteries anyway. As a can, it attracts your attention, and as a drink it’s quite nice. It’s nothing original, but it does taste quite similar to Monster Energy instead of being one of the usual Red Bull clones.

Singh is King

February 21st, 2015

Interesting branding, but ultimately overlaid on a generic low quality clone. Very sweet and sticky, not particularly refreshing and definitely not unique. On the plus side, it doesn’t taste that bad really, I had just hoped for more originality given that it claims to be influenced by people from around India.

Revive & Survive Sugar Free

January 10th, 2015

A nice budget sugar free energy drink. Absolutely nothing special about it, but it was cheap, tasted okay, and does the job of satisfying those energy cravings. Not as sweet as the full fat version, but just right overall.

Very budget. It’s basically Spar’s continental version of their own brand energy drink. Nothing more to tell really I’m afraid!

Rodeo

August 30th, 2014

Yee haaa, you gotta love these Continental European energy drink naming policies. It’s another budget clone, but why not call it Rodeo? The name, I guess as with most other drinks to be fair, means nothing. They haven’t bothered with a colour in the name either, just plain Rodeo. It’s the only thing different about this mediocre drink sadly.

I’m assuming they are jumping on the technology bandwagon and not the spider-based super powers one. It’s a clone to be sure, but quite a nice one. Discovered in a “Powerdino” supermarket in Tenerife, a supermarket worth visiting just for the name alone!

BVB09 Adrenalin

July 5th, 2014

According to Wikipedia: “Ballspielverein Borussia 09 e.V. Dortmund, commonly known as Borussia Dortmund, Dortmund, or BVB, is a German sports club based in Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia.”. I don’t know much about sport at all, but I’ve had it confirmed by those in the know that the logo on the side of this can is pretty well known in footballing circles. The quality of the can itself is pretty good – a premium matt feel and good branding. The drink is a pleasant but unoriginal Red Bull clone, on the sweet side but perfectly drinkable.

Carrefour Energy Drink

It’s just another budget energy drink really. Carrefour’s own-brand clone is on the caramel side things but it’s nothing special.

Take Off

June 11th, 2014

It’s a clone in a cool(ish) can. The car ignition stop/start button I guess is supposed to look more like a mission control launch button, but who cares – it’s a larger than normal can (330ml) containing a decent clone-style energy drink. Flavoured on the caramel side of things, but not too strong.
