Advantages: ENERGY BURST

Disadvantages: TOO MUCH, TOO SWEET

This is the ultra budget version of Red Bull!!! I bought 4 cans for less than an RB would have cost.

The size is exactly the same (330ml) and the can the same shape (possibly the same manufacturer??), with silver as the base colouring and red on top, it's quite easy to pick out.

It is an exceptionally lurid bright orange shade!! I did wonder what was in in, and on turning the can could not see anything that sounded particularly natural. I decided I would rather not know.

I found the drink itself very very sweet and struggled to drink more than half a can at a time. I appreciate it is meant to be an intensive burst of energy but I actually felt quite sick when I tried to drink it quickly.

It did give me the energy burst I needed though even with less than the full can. It made me feel like I wasn't so close to passing out during a very strenuous activity although it did make me feel quite on edge. It took effect in about 15-20- minutes. It had a certain amount of fizz to it, but didn't make me feel too bloated.

Summary: Not something I would drink through choice but a good option for a very fast burst of energy
