Blue Bolt Energy Drink

A cheap Red Bull or just a cheap imitation? Blue Bolt Energy Drink is Sainsburys own label and similar to Red Bull. But does this make it a cheap imitation or a good alternative?

Sweet in flavour and lazed with caffeine its very similar to its more famous rival. Does it do the job of acting as a stimulant and wake you up? Well it works for me on my long night shifts, is it better then Red Bull? Well I’ve not done any scientific research but it seems to do the job.

And how does it compare price wise, well at 45p a can its less than half price than its more famous rival. I guess running a F1 racing team and sponsoring lots of sports stars costs a lot of money. I don’t really buy into mass marketed drinks, and certainly don’t drink something for the label so if Blue Bolt keeps me awake I’ll carry on buying it as opposed to the more expensive and better marketed Red Bull.

Summary: A cheap alternative?
