Hello everyone, this is Energy Crisis: The Energy Drink Report!
Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching!
This is Energy Crisis: Energy Drink Report - The energy drink review series.
Yes, I know the ever so, the ever so rare energy drink reviews, but here we are.
I figured a, you know, this is a new release and it's actually a really hyped up one - especially for energy drinks.
Which is, you know, it's it's not to say people don't drink energy drinks,
It's just rare to sometimes see one, you know,
with so much hype so much coverage there were advertisements for this in the Superbowl, you know
lots of people are aware of this and I mean, I think you know, I look forward to trying it out to be honest and
You know to give a very quick little update my mouth is still recovering
That's another reason why I think it's such a good time to do one of these energy drink reviews.
You know because why not, you know, this is like primetime
energy drink
consumption
days, if you want to call it that?
Well you know, you might say right with all the year with all the intros aside and yet it's recovering
It's a it's better than it was the last video better than before that so on the on the right track anyway
Yeah, this is a new energy drink. I'm gonna be trying both of them out from Coca-Cola.
Yeah, Coca-Cola has released their own energy drink and it's so aptly named Coca-Cola Energy maybe
They just call it energy. But I think it's called Coca-Cola
Energy right there.
two flavors, you know at least two flavors that I'm gonna be trying out but a cool little bit of a
Design on the can I kind of like that. It's got the Coca-Cola energy and then it's got the
Cherry Coke energy. You know, I presume this one probably tastes like Coca-Cola and this one probably tastes like cherry Coke
but I mean, who knows maybe this one is gonna be like a
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich flavored or something because see it's got you know... It could be - I didn't try it yet.
Anyway, these are energy drinks. They just released in January of 2020 so brand new, you know
It's just out I want to try it out. I want to see what do they taste like? How is the effectiveness?
Yeah, is it any good?
this is gonna be a little bit of a unique one. I'm just gonna try them out and then
You know be checking in with little updates just see how pumped up I am
You know does this make me want to run around the block, you know, five and a half times?
Or you know am I just gonna sit here and not really do any I mean, we'll see we'll see what happens
anyway
III double-checked these
Nutritional stats are exactly the same from one to the other
So I'm just gonna check this one can here then we'll just pour them out in these glasses and we'll go from there
So well, yeah coca-cola
Energy, and this is water by the way so I could clean the palate and whatnot. Coca-Cola energy
guarana B vitamins and caffeine
Nutritional facts serving sizes this one can so you better down this, you know guzzle it down
Dude, do whatever you have to do to consume it,
140 calories per serving
39 grams of
sugar
Zero grams of protein, you know, some of the ingredients are usual, you know, carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup
Glucose, you know, etc
Here's the big thing. We really want to know right? Caffeine content
114 milligrams per can which you know is pretty decent. I was double checking this it's in the refrigerator I have
Rip It Energy, which only had I think like 70 milligrams for larger can and
Monster has around 140. But again for a can that's bigger than this
So I mean a hundred and fourteen milligrams is enough caffeine. I think for the average person. It'll kind of get you going
Anyway ... No other
Spiel on it, you know some of these places they like to have some sort of motivational talk or something
None of that like Monster does but anyway, we're just gonna open up. We'll pour it out
Try it out, and then we'll just try out the other cherry one and then I'll check in again with the effectiveness.
All right, so let's do this here watch I'm gonna spill this everywhere
It's always fun to pour this stuff out
Pour the rest down the side I'm not doing that the right way so forget it. We'll just do what we got to do
All right
We have the
Coca-Cola energy drink in the
Coca-Cola glass right there.
Enjoy the Coca-Cola
So well, this is the original one. Is this supposed to taste like Coca-Cola?
We'll see. We'll see what it tastes like then we'll just do the same thing
We'll pour this one out and we'll go from there. So it's the Coca-Cola
Energy drink ...
Going in!
Yeah, I gotta say it's not bad at all
Yeah, yeah. No, not bad
It's really
and I always love it when places do this because
one recurring
Issue that I've seen, you know, when it comes down to energy drinks. Because I've tried so many of these things
You know about my energy drink
drinking career
Is that some places have like such a difficult time trying to mask the caffeine right because caffeine can be very bitter
And it has this bitterness to it
They try to cover it up. Sometimes it weasels its way through though and it's like now I can still taste it
I taste the artificial sweetener as you know
If they opt for that
I
Taste the bitterness of the caffeine and it kind of ruins it it takes it takes away from its like this isn't really that fun
To drink it's why I drink it. It's it's like yeah, I don't know I
Love it when they just mask it
Perfectly and like If I, if I were to drink this I wouldn't even know it was an energy drink, right?
I wouldn't I would think this is just a glass of coca-cola and I would have no idea about the caffeine content
Because they just did such a good job masking it which I think is great
You know it it tastes exactly just like a glass of coca-cola. It still has that carbonation. It's very carbonated
I should say even with all the the bubbles having dissipated very carbonated very sweet
Still has that smoothness to it though, which I always like
It's just like a glass of good coca-cola, but I imagine it would be good for people who like drinking coke
But they want to get that boost too
So that's what the original is. This one is just the cherry again. Everything is exactly the same there though
It might be the peanut butter jelly flavored one. We'll find out
Open it up
There we go, we'll pour this one out
Now top it off right there
alright, I
Have that symmetry
Go in another coke glass. What is the odds?
and
Yeah still very carbonated. Alright, let's see if this is like a cherry coke or not. So it's the
Yeah, the cherry coca-cola energy now
Going in
Hold on I stopped myself. I stopped myself. I stopped myself. I gotta I gotta take this sip of water first. See I caught myself
last minute
There we go, alright now boy that was an edge of your seat moment
I don't think it'll get any more suspenseful than that. It was like this is that was like action movie stuff right there
Okay. Now it's a cherry coke energy drink go and officially
Yeah again
Just like the last one
Has that sweetness?
highly carbonated
smooth and
Again, just like the same thing
No bitterness at all. You could not even tell that these are caffeinated once again
Again, though. This one is like cherry coke
That cherry flavor is definitely pronounced. That's one thing like sometimes when I get cherry coke
It's like I kind of taste it but the cherry gets lost
The cherry flavor is very defined in this one very defined. So well
They're basic. It's not like it's full of twists and turns. I think it's very straightforward
You're gonna get what they tell you, right? This is gonna taste like coke. This is gonna taste like the cherry coke
I think they're very pleasant to drink. I think they're good
They're flavorful enjoyable and I hope they'll provide a boost but so far now
I can't give a numerical rating yet because I just don't know how the effectiveness is. But let me just say I'm
Very impressed by these so far. I
Am I think I think they did a really good job just flavor-wise off the bat
I mean, it's I think I think it'll be a high score just because
They really did a good job with these. I mean, they're just they're enjoyable and I gotta give them credit
so now what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna finish these up and then I'm just gonna go about my
My night really cuz it's uh, it's getting dark right now and we'll just see what happens
So now I think the results may vary mileage may vary depending on how sensitive you are to caffeine
I've had you know about
You know, I usually have like four or five shots of espresso of a day and then maybe some more so, you know
We'll see how how this really gets me going or if it doesn't but I'll let you guys know
So now we'll go into the effectiveness. I'll keep you guys updated but they taste they taste really good
Alright, so it's been about a 40 minutes
I was able to down both of them and so far. I am feeling a little bit more energized. You know, it's it's not it's
Too crazy, but I do realize like I feel a little bit more alert. I feel a little bit more just on point and
As a result. I'm here at the microphone
I'm gonna be getting ready to what record some of my new podcast. So but definitely about 40 minutes later or so
I am feeling a little bit of an energy boost
All right. It's been about an hour and a half
Here just finishing up washing my hands
stay and hygienic staying clean and
I'm still feeling a little bit of a boost still feeling a little bit of the you know, energy boost energized not jittery
but just a little more alert and
Perfect for uh for keeping those hands
squeaky clean
Watching the watching the news checking up seeing what's going on on TV
been about
That huh?
I've been about three hours now three three and a half hours or so
Yeah, it's it's kind of it's wearing off a little bit
I mean, I I definitely don't feel as alert, you know, as I did up. Yeah couple hours back
I think it's still there a little bit, but definitely I think it's kind of wearing off a bit
All right, so I'm just walking around not really
doing all that much just
moseying around in the dark
As always is what I do
I've been around I would say four hours now maybe four hours 15 minutes or so and
Yeah, I'd say it's pretty much wearing off at this point. All right, so I think I have effectively determined the effectiveness
I think that these drinks they kind of could be like a short-term boost
But definitely even for someone who is a vigorous
consumer of caffeine, you know, I still noticed that a little bit of a boost in that that little increased alertness and
Any it's definitely there but again short-term don't don't count on this to keep it going the entire day
but again
If you want that little bit of a boost that little uptick I think it will help and it tastes really good
Price for it is around $2 per can which is totally standard. I think some place is even so much cheaper. So
out of 10
I'm gonna have to give both of these the same rating because I think they're both equally good a nine out of ten
I think it's probably one of the best drinks that I've had. They did a really good job with it
And yeah a little bit of a noticeable boost in terms of the effectiveness some we're very impressed
I think the coca-cola energy and the cherry coca-cola energy
Are both good both impressed by you and oh just a really good release overall. That's all that I have for you
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm your host to the report of the week. This is energy crisis the energy drink report. Thank you and take care
