This Thunder tastes better than the Doubleshot version because there’s less Coffee and more Milk, but the name is misleading if not an outright lie. I taste no Vanilla nor is any such flavor included on the short ingredients list. It’s the color of most vanilla drinks though, so I guess that’s supposed to be the link.

This Doubleshot; the most “energizing” CoffeeMilk the Thunder brand has to offer as far as caffeine goes; lives up to the name. It’s a mixture of (“real”) Coffee and (“real”) Milk. The one thing missing from the name is the cane sugar; the third listing on its impressively simply ingredients list; which isn’t sweet enough to counter the fact that you’re drinking coffee.

![3D Energy Drink : Alphaland [ Lemonade ]](https://marcellee.com/posts/125192.jpg)
I don’t know what the Alphaland bit is about, but this 3D Energy Drink tastes like what it essentially is; carbonated Lemonade. It’s “light and refreshing” as promoted. The “intense rush” comes via 200 milligrams of caffeine. The flavor suggests a lot of sugar, but there is none. It’s sweetened with sucralose.

![Java Monster : Cold Brew [ Latte ]](https://marcellee.com/posts/124976.jpg)
This energy drink tastes like what it basically is; “nitro-infused Cold Brewed coffee” (espresso) with a lot of milk in it. It’s remarkably creamy, though there’s no cream listed on the ingredients list. It’s also “subtly sweet” as the can describes but not enough to make it good.

“Galaxy Lime is infinitely delicious,” the promo claims, but that’s hyperbolic nonsense. It isn’t even good. The flavor, in which “Bright lime and deep blackberry collide”, is among the worst 3D Energy Drinks. It tastes like a fruit and vegetable concoction from somebody’s juicer and smells, oddly enough, like spoiled milk.

It’s no Shock this Energy drink, which “provides 300 milligrams of caffeine”, tastes like Blueberries à la 3D Berry Blue and Monster Ultra Blue. It’s perhaps a tad sweeter (better) than the aforementioned two, though the can is sure to remind you there’s “zero sugar” for what that’s worth.

![Black Rifle Espresso 300 [ Triple Shot ] : Vanilla Bomb](https://marcellee.com/posts/124866.jpg)
This Bomb dissipates on impact to the point where you can’t even taste the Vanilla. It tastes more like chocolate, oddly enough, due to its main ingredient; “Arabica brewed coffee”. The 300 bit has to do with the fact that it packs said milligrams of caffeine, which the can promotes as “freedom fuel”.
my rating : 3 of 5
I don’t like Coffee, Colombian or otherwise, but this is a tasty treat nonetheless. It’s not just the milky creamy texture; it, like most Ice Cream, is best melted down to a lumpy goo; but the sugary sweetness that makes it good despite its feature ingredient.

“Feel the freeze,” the catchphrase exclaims. This Cereal “cools your mouth as you eat”. It’s a gimmick that fits the concept; it’s based on those Icee slushies kids drink in the summer; but ultimately ruins the taste. That chalky antacid-like bit, which, ironically enough, starts to become nauseating, lingers long after you’re done eating.

I don’t think the Rainbow here represents LGBT. At least I hope not. The illustrations on the can suggests it stands for a Rainbow “of flavor”; candy flavors; à la Skittles, though the taste is more akin to bubble gum. In any case there’s “zero sugar”; it’s sweetened with sucralose; and 300 milligrams of caffeine, “which is more than two cups of coffee.”
my rating : 3 of 5
The name suggests this should be served chilled from the freezer on a hot summer day, which is how I prefer my Energy drinks, but that would be hard to do on a court or field. C4 is subtly promoted as a sports beverage for “superhuman Performance”, though that could also apply to sex. The taste is par for the course; sweet and Pez-like with a slight sting.
