This Energy Drink is marketed as “A cyclone of deliciousness.” That’s a silly exaggeration; what wind storms have to do with patriotism is beyond me; but it’s certainly not bad. The taste reminds me of… I don’t know; one of those American sodas.

Grape is one of my favorite artificial flavors and, though that’s especially the case when it comes to candy; I love purple Skittles; beverages are no exception. That makes this Energy Drink one of the best 3D variations, which means little as they’re all inherently flawed by the fact that they’re carbonated thus mildly painful to consume.

This version of Lit, a Beyond Raw (pre-workout) energy drink “built by science”, really does taste like Watermelon Jolly Ranchers. That’s a sweet feat given the fact that it contains “zero sugar”, which makes it a healthy alternative to the actual candy.

Snoop Dogg is the highlight here and that’s not a weed pun. In a Halftime Show full of stilted performances; Mary J Blige, who isn’t a protégé of Dr Dre and shouldn’t have been included, goes way over the top; he easily comes across as the most authentic and likeable. Watching him Crip walk to California Love, you’d think he was entertaining guests at a backyard barbeque; not on stage in front of the biggest viewing audience in America.
50 Cent is comparatively stiff, but he at least has sexy groupies In Da Club with him. The logic of giving three fat chicks a stage to themselves is lost on me. Not that the show, which is a bit of a mess, makes a lot of sense in the first place. Eminem is big enough to headline The Super Bowl on his own. His appearance here to perform his most obvious hit comes across as both anticlimactic and corny. Still he’s not as annoying as Kendrick Lamar. Few rappers are.

“If you love someone, you should say it often,” MC Lyte advises, “You’ll never know when they’ll be laying in a coffin.” Awkward grammar aside, it’s a poignant message and the lesson of this story about a guy she met one night at a (dance) club.
There are “kiss/cry” breaks; the Motown hit bits, while random in their inclusion, also add a nice touch; but no chorus. It’s the lonely guitar loop; the whole song is based on Toto’s Georgy Porgy; that keeps you hooked till the tragic end.
