Fast Twitch : Strawberry Watermelon

Fast Twitch : Strawberry Watermelon

This Fast Twitch, “from the makers of Gatorade”, tastes like Kool-Aid with too much water in it… or not enough sugar. That’s appropriate enough considering there’s “zero sugar”; a health boast nearly rescinded with the addition of its sucralose substitute. It’s an energy drink made for sports athletes.

my rating : 3 of 5

Goat Fuel : Gummy Bear

Goat Fuel : Gummy Bear

This is supposed to taste like Gummy Bears. It sort of does, but not enough to warrant the namesake. Speaking of which, as far as energy drinks go, it’s far from the “Greatest of all time”, though the can suggests the acronym actually refers to the quintessential drinker; the Muhammad Alis and Michael Jordans of the sports world.

Fast Twitch : Grape

Fast Twitch : Grape

This Fast Twitch, “from the makers of Gatorade”, tastes like the Grape Robitussin or Dimetapp I was given as a child. It smells like Grape Jolly Ranchers. Grape is one of my favorite flavors/scents, so, nostalgia aside, I like it.

The fact that it also provides enough caffeine and electrolytes “to help athletes ignite power and athletic performance”, with no stinging carbonation to damper the experience, ranks it among the better energy drinks.

G Fuel Energy Drink : Wumpa Fruit

G Fuel Energy Drink : Wumpa Fruit

This “limited edition” G Fuel Energy Drink is based on Crash Bandicoot 4. It’s About Time goes the subtitle, but it’s mostly about promotion as the drink was apparently created for the sole purpose of advertising the game. The flavor is Wumpa Fruit, appropriately enough, which is actually a fun apple mango blend.
