What are you choosing? Me: taste 3d blueberry but Caffiene: game fuel berry bomb

I keep opening energy drinks at my desk and then forgetting about them like 20 mins later. I'll crack one around 2or 3 take a few sips while I'm working and then find it again an hour later warm as hell. At this point I need someone to start making these in tiny cans bc half the time I clearly don't finish what I open and by then I usually don't even want it anymore but putting it back in the fridge somehow feels less wasteful than throwing it out. My fridge is becoming a collection of cans I was apparently very excited about for all of five minutes.

Picked this up before the beginning of my route. I’m a Mail Carrier, I got a full route and split today so I gotta get something to fuel me through the day. Saw this and decided to try it and I love it! Basically like the Monster Bad Apple with zero sugar.

A local convenience store had some of OG Cosmic Rainbow, Ghost A&W, and this other brand that I tried before that was alright, so I picked them up.

I cracked open the Ghost and was pleasantly surprised! I was worried that I wouldn’t like it, but for me it’s a hit! Tastes exactly like I’d expected it to.

Cosmic Rainbow, I’ve had the newer version a bunch, but have read that others preferred the OG, so this was my chance to grab it. Can’t wait to try.

Lucky’s is a newer one I’ve been seeing around. I had tried their green can a few weeks ago and it was alright. I’m not sure what the flavor was called but it has a melony taste to it.

Absolute GOAT of raspberry flavors IMO. Happy it's returned!

Grabbed this from walmart because they were almost sold out of all flavors and I usually like blue raspberry stuff but this is disgusting.

Heard a lot of good things about this one

Honestly it’s just ok. Lots of vanilla and taste more like root beer candy or root beer dum dum or cream soda than actual root beer. They have plenty of flavors that are much better IMO.

Can't wait to get home and try the strawberry bubblicious! $27 for 18 pack at Costco.

Still missing quite a few cans but I have officially tried every ghost flavor ever made and have ranked them. Except the other country exclusives and a few different festival collabs

$2 ghosts. Perfect opportunity to stock up on Ghost root beer

Delicious. Should have a high sugar warning though. Im so used to everything being 0 sugar. This was 230 calories and 53g of real sugar

Had the Franken Juice the other day and it was more Carmel than Apple. Had the Orange Cream today and it’s more Cream than Orange. Liked the Franken Juice better but this one is fine, not the best Orange Cream I’ve had, that’s still Reign. Not bad though, I’d drink again but I want a little more Orange

Its really really good in my opinion 🙏🙏

Who does it better? I give a slight edge to GM for taste as it just tastes a wee bit "brighter" without tasting too chemical. The Bucked Up tastes a little more "malt", like it has some grain or some sort of flavor suppression. I will give the Bucked Up the edge on caffeine as 300 > 200. I think if I just wanted something tasty, I'd reach for GM, but if I needed a rush of energy, I'd go BU.

I love this

This is really yummy, but I don’t feel like it’s an accurate representation of A&W root beer.

For reference, I’m a big fan of Barq’s and Henry Weinhardt root beers.

I stumbled upon this in the energy drink section of my local Meijer grocery store. I didn’t expect them to be the first place in the area to get them.

Before you drink any, the smell hits you and it is A&W. The smell is spot on to OG A&W root beer. The initial taste in your mouth is also A&W root beer and it’s pretty accurate.

Then, however, you get hit with too much vanilla cream flavor when compared to the A&W soda. It’s not bad. It just seems way more overpowering than what you would find in the soda.

From a pure root beer drinkers point of view, both bum and gorilla mind do it better. This isn’t bad, it’s just too much vanilla-cream for A&W IMO.

I’m giving this two scores:

For accuracy of A&W: 6.2 / 10

Solely from a delicious drink POV: 8.3 / 10

It’s really good, but A&W purists might be disappointed. I’m definitely buying more.

Hope it helps and good luck on your hunt.

The artificial sugar blends so well with the creamyness. Crazy how this dirty soda mixing cream into drinks trend is still going on though
