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.

G Fuel Ice Shatter
November 9th, 2024It’s a bit like the white Monster but with a slight twist. Blueberry and lemon, so it’s a tangy version of a blueberry drink. Refreshing and very heavy on the caffeine.

Reign Storm: Kiwi Blend
October 26th, 2024I don’t like apple, luckily the kiwi flavour has toned down the appleness and this is an ok drink for the summer. Fresh and fruity without being sickly.

Rockstar Zero Sugar Blueberry
October 12th, 2024Quite a light flavoured blueberry drink. It’s neither watery nor too strong, a good balance and zero calories too. Blueberry is a good flavour for energy drinks I think because it’s different enough from the regular mixed fruit flavours but doesn’t have the harshness of other berry flavoured drinks.

Reign Storm: Peach Nectarine
October 5th, 2024Another one of what I think is intended to be Reign’s healthier-looking drinks with pictures of real fruit on the front. I’m not a big fan of peach drinks but this was sort of ok. I mean, it was too peachy for me but if you like peach then I guess the balance of flavour is pretty good!

Reign Storm: Valencia Orange
September 28th, 2024Nice and fresh. The orange (I can’t vouch for the Valencian origin of those oranges) flavour is balanced well, not massively strong but not weak and watery either. Quite an interesting design for the can too, taking design hints from those other brands which are targeting the health market. You still have the large Reign logo, but you now have the silver background and actual pictures of fruit!

C4 Millions Bubblegum
August 17th, 2024much stronger flavour than the strawberry version, this is punchy and recognisably bubblegum flavoured, so much so that you could almost chew it 🙂 Because it’s a large can, there’s a lot of drink to get through though so it does become sickly after a while. Still, quite original and exactly what it says it’s supposed to be.

C4 Millions Strawberry
August 10th, 2024It does actually taste like Millions sweets! I think this flavour is basically what you’d get if you soaked strawberry Millions in water for a few ays and drained off the results. It’s not as strong in flavour as the actual sweets themselves, it’s quite watered down tasting, but the flavour is very recognisable and really nice.
