Bulldog Energy Drink

Oh boy! Another generic energy drink! 8D
I wonder what new oddities this can bring to the market....

Apparently they've won The Queen's Awards For Enterprise International Trade 2009-2011
But I've never heard of this....

There's nothing eye-catching about the can, just the usual thing. Again, this was found in the Polish supermarket (Man, I love that shop)

So here we go again, let's hope it's something different to the vast array of generic drinks there already are....
Smells slightly better than the usual energy drink, somewhat more fruity
As for the taste.... There isn't much of one, it's a bit watery tasting. I guess that's good compared to some which have really overpowering flavours. This is kind of easygoing. It's not bad for the price, but neither is any other generic drink out there

So, to summarise, it's pretty much the same thing as the million other energy drinks except it's not as strong tasting

Six out of ten! :o

DG Jamaica Strawberry Soda

Here's a drink I found on the Afro-Caribbean stall in the market up town
There isn't many strawberry fizzy drinks around, so I thought I'd try this. Fanta Strawberry was a big let down when I tried it (I didn't review it though), it was all syrupy and really sweet

I also picked up a grape can and they were 65p each. A bit steep for a 330ml can, but I'm guessing it's imported, so it's not all that bad

It smells promising....
It tastes.... Just ok....
But it's a lot better than the Fanta strawberry. It's not overly sweet and syrupy, but it still is quite sweet. It tastes kind of artificial too

I probably won't buy it again unless it was really cheap (say, 20 or 30 pence)
It's not that it's a bad drink, it's just nothing special....
5 out of 10

Thermo Booster Cool Blue

I popped into JTF today (It's a discount warehouse shop) and saw this by the tills along with a red flavour (I got one of them too)

I've never heard of this before, nor have I heard of QNT. And the same goes for cool blue flavour....
Maybe it's minty?
So this is a caffeiney energy drink, but blue. Something I've never seen before. Besides Powerade, but I don't think that has caffeine in, does it? Either way, it's an odd colour for an energy drink. I'm interested to see what flavour it is. It has an awesome colour

Swig time approaches us....

Well... That's an odd flavour... It's definitely fruity, but kind of bitter tasting. The label states it contains sweeteners, but.... It can't.... It's too bitter for that to be possible. I think it's a blue raspberry kind of taste, but I'm not entirely sure on this, to be honest. For 99p, I guess it's a decent price for the amount you get, but the taste you get.... I'm not gonna recommend it
But in all honesty, it's handy being in a sports bottle. Cans aren't resealable (besides that No Fear drink)
3 out of 5

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 ;)

jolly Rancher Watermelon Drink

Today I've got a nice, big bottle of soderp, I mean soda, on my desk
Here's a picture....

It's an awesome bright red colour (Chemicals maybe?)
It's 591ml which seems like bit of an odd amount for a bottle, but America still uses the imperial system (We do with some things, but not all)
I've had Jolly Rancher sweets before, and they're really nice. I'm hoping this is the same :D
It best still be fizzy....
Huzzah! It is!

MMMM.... It smells so artificial! 8D
But a nice artificial :3

Let's give it a go....
It's pretty sweet, but the flavour is kind of week. If I remember correctly, the sweets had a tang to them? This doesn't. The flavour's not as strong as the sweets either.
It's too sweet for my liking

I don't think I'll be buying this again, but I might try the other flavours available
Rating time! :o
I tinik I'll give it a 5 out of ten ;)

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....

Fanta Mango + Passionfruit

I like Fanta.
I like the orange one, I like the strawberry and kiwi one, I like the fruit twist one and the various other flavours. So when I saw this in a shop, I thought I'd go try it.
I've just recently found out that there are over 100 different flavours of Fanta. I NEED TO FIND MOAARRR. Maybe I'll scour the internet for various flavours from various countries.
But anywho, here's a picture of the can (Sorry for the watermark on the top, it's the only decent picture I could find)

I bought mine as an 8 pack, so instead of saying 55p on the top, it says the usual "Don't sell individually" or whatever
It's a nice purple colour though, don't you think?
It smells really nice and tropical. The colour of it's the same as any other tropical flavour drink, ie. orange
I'm not usually too keen on mango, I think it has a slightly odd taste and I usually avoid it. But this, this is ok. It's pretty sweet too. You can also taste orange in it, and the ingredients list orange juice as higher than "natural flavourings", so I guess that dampens down the other flavours a bit. I'm sure it be better without the orange. But I guess Fanta is originally orange flavoured, so maybe that's why. I don't know....
I grabbed my can from the cupboard, but I'm sure it's much better and really refreshing straight from the fridge after a long hard day of sitting on my arse doing nothing, haha
It's a nice looking can, a nice tasting drink, but I prefer the fruit twist flavour of Fanta. It's limited edition, so I recommend you at least try it before it goes off the shelf. It's worth a try ;)
One shall rate said beverage with a spiffing seven out of ten!

Laters!
