Name of Drink: Nestle Milo

Venue found at: 99 cent store

Price at said location: $0.49

“Taste test” out of 5 Rating: 1

“Energy kick” out of 5 Rating: Unk

Overall impression / comments: Couldn't drink all of it, only a few sips. It tastes pretty much like a skank version of Yoo-hoo. And I don't know if it's supposed to be Milo like Mee-loh, or Milo like the name My-low. If they named this thing after a human named Milo, I should never have consumed this. If its Mee-loh, I don't wanna know what it's named after.

C+ Swiss Iced Tea



Name of Drink: Swiss Iced Tea Refreshing Hemp Tea

Overall impression / comments: In all fairness, this isn't even an energy drink, but I figured, "Hemp Tea?" Oh, that's definately going on the site. It's basically iced tea. Only one real difference...it tastes like you're chewing on...umm...marijuana seeds. Not that I would have any idea what that tastes like, just making the assumption. This would be a great gift for that college friend who...you know...

Overall impression / comments: Usually I wouldn't spend this much on a non brand name coffe based energy drink, but I had a hunch. Good thing I got it, because to date, this is the strongest energy drink I've had. I was shaking and running around my office for a good 2 hours afterwards. I don't know if it was because it was on an empty stomach or what, but I'd use this pre-sporting events, not necessarily pre-long night of studying.

Overall impression / comments: This drink is a beautiful creation. It's bright green, not over-carbonated like many other energy drinks, and if poured over ice it waters the syrupiness down to the perfect consistency. Got this one on a trip to Flagstaff, AZ, and my wife and our two friends all tried this and the "lite" version, and as a general consensus, everyone loved it. It doesn't have the normal harsh "energy drink" taste. It's made in Saint Louis, so I have no idea if Nelly had anything to do with the creation, but it's still delicious.
