My initial thoughts trying out Rowdy Energy's "Strawberry Lemonade" - Meh, no thank.
My more detailed thoughts, plus story time - So, I was at the grocery store when I saw this sitting on the shelf on-sale for 60¢. I thought to myself, "Sure, I'll try it, why not. I like Strawberry lemonade flavoring." Put it in the fridge and tried it the next day as my early morning energy drink. The result? Meh.
The flavor was just...well, off. I didn't taste any strawberry lemonade, mostly a very subtle flavor with a green tea-esque aftertaste. It felt more like a lightly strawberry flavored bubbly green tea with such minimal flavor to feel borderline like a seltzer. But the aftertaste was strong, for me at least.
Long story short, yea, I didn't like it. I finished it because I wanted the caffeine (~130 mg) and I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it.
I need to find someone that lives in Canada that would be willing to pick up a few bottles of this new, limited time Mtn. Dew Honey Dew Melon drink that's exclusive to Canada and ship it to me.
I'm 100% willing to pay for the product and the shipping costs!
I want to try this so bad, but it's not coming to the US unfortunately.
So, as I had posted before, my parents got me a number of Ryse Fuel energy drinks to try for my #birthday. Let's plow through three more of them!
First, we have Baja Burst. It's called "twisted lime" in terms of what flavor it is. For me, think #BajaBlast, but better. Yes, I said it. It has a similar taste, but something about it I just enjoy more than Baja Blast. Shocked me too.
The second is Ring Pop. You know that generic "berry" flavor that candies have. It's a non-descript berry, it could be any of them if someone told you that it was a specific berry. That's what this tastes like. Which, I suppose, is fitting for a Ring Pop flavored energy drink.
The third is Tiger's Blood. It's a watermelon, strawberry, and coconut flavored energy drink. I genuinely liked this one. A lot. The coconut was subtle flavor-wise, even if my kids all said they smelled coconut the moment I opened it. I don't know, I liked it, though.
Have you tried any of these? Feel free to let me know if the comments.
So, I saw my parents recently, and they got me a number of Ryse Fuel energy drinks to try for my #birthday.
Here is the #CountryTime Lemonade one. Let me tell you...it's okay.
It tastes like fake lemonade flavoring with a subtle fake sugar after taste. It's not bad, but yea - Ryse Fuel did a better job duplicating the flavor with the Kool-Aid and Sunny D variants.
