Arizona Hard Green Tea

-
Is this an energy drink? Yeah, I am so far beyond being able to care that I tragically miss the days when I was capable of feeling anything other than shame and regret.

So Canada rarely gets "exclusive" product tests or reveals, so this was something of a treat when I saw that there was an Arizona Tea brand hard tea available at my state-controlled happiness beverage shop. An examination of the can reveals that this is in fact, not a "real" Arizona tea, but one made by the Molson-Coors conglomerate. 

Just in case you forgot you were in Canada, everything on the can is printed twice, English and French. I have always thought that "The Vert" was a cool name for a drink, but it isn't. 

I can remember distinctly, opening the can, hearing and feeling the slight pressure being released, the odd sensations that overcame me as I sniffed the aromas exited from the recently liberated pouring spout, then the massive and obscene disappointment that I felt when I tasted the noxious oils and solvents that were contained within this can. I bought several cans of this, but have only managed to consume one. Each sip, each taste; each mere thought of consuming this liquid solution, is terror. 

When I think back and remember that I paid money for this, I am washed over with thoughts of suicide and self-hatred. How could I have purchased this? How could I have wanted to drink this? The pressure is constant and irritating. This is a mistake that I will never be able to forget and I fear that I will never be able to enjoy anything ever again. 
  • Price when Purchased: $3.00 Leafbacks
Taste: This tastes bad. I know that is a judgmental and personality-relative statement; however, bear in mind that I am happy to drink vodka and I am happy to drink regular Arizona Green Tea. This is not a harmonious fusion of the two, this is some kind of discount "green tea" made by some developmentally disabled troglodytes in a subterranean torture facility mixed with rejects from the rubbing alcohol factory. I am in control of no person, not even myself, so I won't tell you what to do, but, honestly, this is not a happy experience and available stock should be reserved for those considering suicide that need just a little push to go over the edge.  

Energy: some caffeine, presumably from the green tea extract.  

Bottom Line: I feel punished, but also that I deserve further punishment for buying this.

0/5 - not even death is an escape...

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.

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

THE EXPERIENCE IS JARRING

Here is the next step in absolute diabolism. Here is the can - 444 ml 4 symbolizes death in Chinese numerology and after drinking this I wish I was dead.  Location Purchased:  A thinly disguised version of Hell. Price when Purchased:  Likely an eternity in suffering. Taste:   Well, now that I have crossed the threshold and entered into a partial reality that exists between livable dimensions, all concept of taste is gone. At times I have synesthesia and others I experience all tastes at once, coming in brutal waves that leave my body a hollow, tortured shell. I have since tried to eat and drink other things, but my body rejects everything categorically, everything except ROCKSTAR: Roasted - Mocha...  Like some kind of addict I keep buying and drinking this, I simultaneously crave it and hate it - the intense emotions and physical effects that this has on my body feel as if they are killing me, faster rather than slower, but even if I am dying, every second is
