Zevia Zero Calorie Energy Raspberry / Lime

-


Is this the vehicle of your spiritual journey?

Have you attained enlightenment? Have you reached Nirvana? Well, since you are reading this, it is likely that you haven't since reading energy drink reviews is not something that spiritually awakened beings do.

Am I a new being? An entity of light and energy? A consciousness that exists in all dimensions and in all times all at once? The answer: a firm No. But I did drink this can of Zevia Zero Calorie Energy in Raspberry/Lime flavour and it did change my life.

Here on the commune we have a maxim: work is it's own reward. And let me tell you, we work. At first I was a little wary about the new-age spirituality stuff, but now that I have undergone the procedure at the hands of the leader I don't really have any problems with it anymore. Sure some people may say that we live in a dirt-floor shack and slave away in an agrarian dystopia while giving all of the fruits of our labour to the leader so he can live a lavish life of luxury as a mind-controlling cult despot, but that is fairly narrow-minded, we get three meals a week!

Every once in a while one of the workers collapses from exhaustion or malnutrition caused by government-controlled satellites that shoot damaging rays down on us at the farm and the leader gives them an energy drink from his very own collection, I was one of the lucky ones to receive this boon. The leader says the government is working against us because we know the truth. I am glad the leader knows it, because I can't remember anything beyond a few days ago and my teeth are falling out, but as long as we are on the side of the leader I am sure everything will be fine.

When I drank the Zevia I was revived enough to finish my 16-hour shift of tilling new fields for the leader's crops, and I can't wait to do it again, I just need to wait for my foot to grow back (it got caught in a rototiller) and the leader says it shouldn't take too long since we are so spiritually pure here.

Anyway, I am sure you are more curious about the drink.

Information and review:

Taste: The taste of this one is a mild synthetic fruitiness that captures more of the lime than the raspberry and the drink has a strong aftertaste, likely from the Stevia sweetener used.  

Energy: I will give this a rating of fairly standard, there is 120mg of caffeine in the 355ml serving and it has zero calories as advertised. Unlike a lot of "big can" energy drinks, this has no blend of other stuff, the only active ingredient is "organic caffeine" with no hint as to the source. This has no vitamins or anything else, so if you drink energy drinks to stave off scurvy because of your terrible diet you won't be getting all you need from Zevia. 

Bottom Line: It is nice to try something new I guess, but I don't think I will try it again - it is kind of pricy, has a lasting aftertaste, and while I am not sure what "L-Leucine" is, I kind of feel like I am getting ripped-off by not having it in this drink.

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
