“Energy kick” out of 5 Rating: unknown

Overall impression / comments: The worst food product I've EVER put in my mouth. This thing smelled like someone picked ginseng root from the ground, didn't rinse the dirt off of it, and put it in carbonated water. Guess how it tasted? Just like dirty ginseng. Never pay money for this. Never let people pay you for drinking it. I couldn't get past two sips, so I have no clue what kind of kick it has. It just wasn't worth the sacrifice of my taste buds. If you have a choice between being stabbed with a rusty nail or drinking a can of this, take the rusty nail.

Overall impression / comments: A bit unhealthier than it's "No azucar" counterpart, but still just as tasty, and just as good, if not better, kick than the sugar free version.

Overall impression / comments: It seems good things can come in smaller packages! The amount of drink you get is less, but the taste and the kick make up for it. Light, refreshing, and no bad aftertaste! Someone knows how to run a chemistry lab, and they work at Lotte.
