Rockstar Vodka Original

-
Here is ROCKST★R (ЯR - Rockstar - ROCKSTAR) Vodka Original.

Here is the can - 473 ml - 16 US fluid ounces.

Location Purchased: Ontario, Canada (accessed July 2018)
Price when Purchased: $3.50 Canadian Monopoly Money (July 2018)

Taste: Well, this tastes mostly like a regular Rockstar - kind of a mix of herb and medicine tastes. I like the "energy drink" taste, which I understand is not a popular opinion. The 6.9% alcohol content of this particular drink is almost unnoticeable (which I guess is good for some people) and doesn't really affect the flavour. 

Energy: 30 mg caffeine, 2 mg of ginseng, and 9 mg of guarana per 473 Can 

Wow - not a joke. This entire can has a mere 30mg of caffeine in it. In (most of) Canada alcoholic energy drinks are not banned like they are in USA (RIP "classic" 4Loko), but calling this an energy drink is a bit of a misnomer. The "energy" part of this is essentially an afterthought and the ROCKST★R branding is just for marketing - look all you like, but you won't find this product on the Rockstar website, it is given considerable distance. The one other energy note that I will add is that it has a ton of calories - 440 according to this article which is informative, but otherwise a little too preachy for me.

Bottom Line: This is crap. This is basically a generic "alcopop" that illegitimately uses energy drink branding. Unless you are desperate or a completionist, I would suggest finding something else. The only redeeming factor for me is the convenience of being pre-mixed and contained all-in-one, but if you want an alcoholic energy drink, my advice is to mix your own:



.5/5 - liquid feces

Power Malt: Extra Energy

-

I have become a new person, a new being; behold, I am purest light. There is a new sun on the horizon: a star of brilliant, destructive energy that is a threat to all life - I am that star . My entire existence has changed. At first it was just another routine murder by me and the other homeless people at the camp; but after we killed the African man, his treasure proved to be my savior, my genesis. Here is the bottle - 330 ml. Location Purchased:  probably in an Caribbean grocery store somewhere. Price when Purchased:  apparently 0.99 Canadian. Taste:   This tastes like a slightly hopped malt beverage. Imagine something like Malteasers , if you have never had a malt drink before. Watch this video - it's pretty awesome. Energy:  This didn't provide energy in the traditional sense so much as it changed my body into a rapidly burning plume of electric flame. After consuming this potent elixir, my body rapidly broke down into an ashy residue.

Perrier Energize Caffeine & Yerba Mate Grapefruit Flavour Caffeinated Energy Drink

  An energy drink for the discerning palate..? I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Energy drinks on on sale off the street downtown. I watched neon signs glow in the dark near the drink cooler. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die. I have taken up living at the homeless camp again. The camp is probably a fairly close approximation of what our prehistoric societies must have looked like: a band of desperate people barely scraping out an existence, a loose coalition led by the largest and most fearsome among us, and in my case, that is a large man of Haitian extraction that is known by the mononym "Blaster" to the other camp-dwellers. Our lives in this prehistoric state are as nasty, brutish, and short as Hobbes thought they would be. While survival is our primary goal, Blaster  is ambitious and ruthless and tries to drag us out of our rut. We truly are hunter-gatherers, and I have become one of the hunters, but the quarry t

Reign Energy Razzle Berry

Now appearing in the Canadian Market: Reign Energy, here's the Razzle Berry flavour. Hello wanderer, I mean you no harm, I too am a lone traveler in the vast fields of perdition that extend forever beyond the horizon. Long have I hidden myself in cave-complex hermitage where I have hoped to outlast the great plague, but now that I have come back to the surface, I see that there will never be respite from our damnation, only brief glimpses of paradise through the consumption of forbidden elixirs. This particular elixir , from the lands to the South, has undergone a formulation change to appease our cautious council of elders . Part of that formulation change is a significant reduction in potency - whereas the Eagle-Men are able to consume 300mg of caffeine, those of the Beaver-People are restricted to a mere 180mg of caffeine - such is the way of this land. The inverse side of the can, with its various selling features.  It is said that this series of admixtures was developed to co
