Suso Tropical Fizz

Here's another thing I picked up at B&M

I've seen these before but in the thin 250ml cans. They used to be 99p a pop :o
But this was 29p for a 330ml can, bargain ;)
It's a sexy looking can, along with the others in the range
So this is the tropical flavour and it has 60% juice, carbonated and no added sugar. Sounds good so far. I have high hopes for this. If it's good, I might go back and get some more. On the back it says the fruits inside are grape, apple, orange, lemon, acerola (what the hell is that?), mango, passion fruit and pineapple
It should be better than the LOL drink I tried the other day

So now it's time to crack it open straight from the fridge.... Oh yeah....

It's the usual tropical juice colour, yellowy orange. It smells kind of like Lilt too....
It tastes kind of watered down and weak, but besides that, it's pretty good. Really tropical tasting and not just mostly orange like most tropical juice drinks

If they put less water in, it'd be a definite nine out of ten, but at the moment I can only give it a even out of ten. But well worth the 29p I paid for it. If there's a B&M near you or a similar discount warehouse type shop, have a look for them in there ;)

N-gine

FUEL 4 ACTION!!!!!!
So it says on the top of the can

There's a picture of it. How wonderful
Looks like just any old cheap energy drink and I'm guessing it's from Poland or marketed to be sold there as there's ingredients in Polish on one side and English on the other
There's the usual crap written on the can, ie. Caffeine, Taurine and the like
Speaking of writing things like that on cans, how come you don't see other food packages with some of the ingredients slapped on the front in big, bold letters? Probably because half of the food sold would just have long chemical names on the front like 2-4-6-trihydrobutanolicpentaphosphatehydroxidecalcifromaldehydro-6-ethanolicaluminibumflakerubidinucleic-4-ol acid hydrate of tin
I just made that up and it doesn't even sound like a real molecule, but you never know.... They only ever write "flavourings". Who knows what that counts as?

Let's give it a go then, shall we?

Smells like any old energy drink....
But it tastes kind of.... earthy. You know when you have potatoes but they still taste a bit muddy? Imagine that slightly muddy flavour in an energy drink on top of the usual "fruit" flavour (Most of them say fruit flavour, but I can never tell which ones?) and you've got this. It's slightly vegeatble-ish

I guess it's drinkable like every other average copy-cat energy drink available on the market, but it doesn't stand out from the crowd. Why should I buy this one over, say, Emerge or Rockstar? Mostly because it's fairly cheap. I think I paid 25-30 pence for this, so I guess I can't complain. You get what you pay for, right?

Four out of ten (Get rid of the funny mud taste and it'd be a five)

Rockstar Recovery Lemonade

So I've just got home from work and I'm knackered. But I need to go have a shower, tidy my room, get dressed and prepare myself mentally and physically for a day of doing bugger all. What better way to give me the boost I need than a nice, cool energy drink from the fridge?
Here's a picture

It's a pretty cool looking can
In my opinion, that seems to be the main focus of drinks like these and Relentless or Monster. They're like the fashionable thing to be seen drinking
I'm happy with a 29p can of Emerge, to be honest
It has the usual crap on the can. Taurine, Ginseng, Caffeine, blah blah
Not long ago, I found out that the taurine contained in drinks like these is actually nowhere near the levels needed to have the desired effect of the chemical

Here's an extract from the Wikipedia page

A review published in 2008 found no documented reports of negative or positive health effects associated with the amount of taurine used in energy drinks, concluding that "The amounts of guarana, taurine, and ginseng found in popular energy drinks are far below the amounts expected to deliver either therapeutic benefits or adverse events".

Occasionally at work I'm out in the car park cleaning. The amount of cans from Rockstar and so on I find is imense D:

Anywho, stop rambling, Danny. Get on with it!

It's non-carbonated, so that's gonna knock a few points off my rating.

It smells like real lemon, unlike the cheapo 18p lemonade you can buy from Asda or Tesco. It tastes really sweet with a slight bitter undertone from the lemon.

But lemonade should be fizzy!!

Make this fizzy, a bit cheaper (These things are around £1 to £1.50 for a half a litre can in the UK), let the lemon keep some of its kick and you've got a great drink ;)

But then you'd end up with normal lemonade.....

It's ok, but I wouldn't buy it regularly due its price, and the fact it's not carbonated

I give it a 6 out of ten! :o

Yoohoo Chocolate Drink

What's better to have on a nice, sunny day than a cool, ice cold can of foreign drink that you've never heard of?
That's right, a bucket of KFC to go with it.
Oh, and some jungle being blasted out of some speakers
But unfortunately, I'm lazy and I can't be bothered to walk that far or get the bus

I saw this under "Soda" on the Stateside Candy Co's website. I'm not too sure what this is exactly. Is it a milkshake? Is it chocolate water? There's no milk in the ingredients, but there's things like whey and dried milk
I'm not too sure what to expect, to be honest....
99% fat free and 99% caffeine free. Darn! That's no good, is it?

Right then, let's crack it open. It smells nice, just like any old chocolate milkshake, kind of creamy. I'm gonna go get a glass. It doesn't feel right drinking milkshake from a can....
It looks like milkshake, albeit a bit thinner. Let's get on with it and try it....
Wow.... That's nice. Really nice. It's got a creamy taste to it. The chocolate isn't too dark (I can't stand dark chocolate), but it tastes kind of synthetic (but then again, what isn't synthetic in America?), but it's nice nonetheless
In all honesty, I was slightly scared of trying this in fear that it was fizzy (fizzy chocolate-ade? Dafuq?) because it was in the soda category.
Hmm... The after taste isn't as pleasant, but that might be just because I had fish fingers and chips for dinner, so don't let that put you off, haha
There's a few bits floating around the bottom of the cup, but I'm hoping they're just clumps of cocoa powder.
I'm glad I put this in the fridge the other day, I imagine it's not so good warm

I paid £1.20 for this, so I probably won't be getting it again seeing as you can buy ordinary milkshake a lot cheaper, but if you see it, I'd recommend it just to try it ;)

8 out of 10 :o
I think that's the highest rating so far!

Well done, Yoohoo, well done indeed....
