“Rockstar Punched”
As a young lad I thoroughly enjoyed the taste or, should I say, sugar rush of Hawaiian Punch. It was a thing of magic and in the words of Will Farrell, “… it’s so good, once it hits your lips, it’s so good …” (Old School). When I got older and a bit wiser as to what my taste buds craved, Mountain Dew became my drink of choice. The Dew had absolutely been there for me in times of uncontrollable sleepiness, work boredom and midnight Nintendo parties. But, as time went on and Nintendo parties turned into all-nighter cram sessions, I still had that Mnt Dew IV stuck to my arm, all the while thinking about my Hawaiian Punch that I so carelessly discarded. To my complete astonishment and utter surprise, Rock Star released the perfect hybrid to these beverage Titans, Rock Star + Punch!! What a freakin’ awesome combo. If they had given me the chance to name this wonderful tonic – Heaven on Earth – would have been its name.
On to the taste: No lie, the first sip I ever took of this drink I said, “Hey Jobin, this tastes like Mnt Dew and Hawaiian Punch. Me likey.”
Review: If you never want to try another ED in your life, drink this. You will never buy an alternative ED.
“Rockstar Energy Cola”
As an avid fan of Coca-Cola and its beverage products, I was very excited to try the new RockStar Cola energy drink. I’d been very reluctant to try however, breaking away from the best-in-the-universe RockStar Fruit Punch E.D. seemed impossible. It has been my proverbial “mother’s milk” for a long time. When I finally bought the new MAN drink, I was very impressed with the can style, very sleek, VERY sexy. I mean what doesn’t go with black. Nothing!
On to the Taste: When I first sipped the RC (RockStar Cola) I was left wanting a little more taste, a little mo’ flavor flav. For me it was like that last sip of the the Coke Slurpee, a little flat and very mild. I think my first judgement was premature. As I am writting my review, I am enjoying my new E.D. and I have to say it’s growing on me. The fact that it’s not over loaded with flavor makes for a fine taste. Consistancy is key in a sucessful E.D. Fine job RockStar!
Review: Give this one a try. If you are an old school cola fan, this is your new RC cola! I would most certainly buy this energy drink again.
“The Motherload”
Let me start off this review by sharing a few disappointing moments that I have had over the years;
Waking up at 7 a.m. to stand in a long “A” line for hours in hopes of winning some free concert tickets. Realizing after winning, the tics were not for one of my favorite bands, Collective Soul, but rather, tickets for a crappy band named Counting Crows. Needless to say, I burnt the tickets. (burning the tics, not true. They were just thrown away)
Having my long time best friend and his wife over for dinner, only to find out he was FREAKIN ASSIGNED to be my friend in the SIX GRADE!! Let me ask you this, is your obligation fulfilled, so called best friend!?! (this really happened)
Going in for lower back surgery and finding out that the doctor mistakenly removed both your bog toes, confusing you with a frost bit victim. (totally not true)
My last disappointing moment, Motherload by No Fear. This drink has a cool, tough guy can with its skull and wings. Let’s face it, I am here to MANdrate, not Obser-vate. They call it Motherload cause it is filled with Vitamins B6, C and B12. Translation, natural energy bad taste.
On to the taste: At first sip it is not too bad. Low on carbonation and high on tart. It has kind of a Grapefruit after taste. Which, for me, makes me sip faster and faster. The problem with this drink is, you have to finish fast. The tart from the Grapefruit gets stronger and stronger as it warms. Mandrating is something that can’t be rushed.
