This is directly from the can. Looks like a weird mixture. And Coca Leafs! How is this stuff on the shelves? Have not drank it yet. Will let you guys know.

*edit*
Tastes like a watered down coke with a hint of cinnamon and lemon. Was expecting something better but hey the can looks cool hahahahha.
Where did you find it? Store name, city and state please.

I found it at Acme Markets here in Delaware.

Not a big fan of it, myself.

Default While I've not tried it,

A friend of mine who tasted it said it was nasty.

I bought one in Portland, OR in July at a 7-11 when I was visting... I bought some other drinks and was saving it for later but forgot about it in my backpack. Then going through airport security it was confiscated... I was tempted to take it outside security and go through the line again but I was running late and afraid I might miss my flight. I asked the guy if I could chug it in front of him but he wouldn't let me... I've been to NYC, Philly, Seattle, San Francisco, Denver and some other cities since then and still haven't seen it anywhere unfortunately.

On the subject of "energy soda", Wired has a new energy soda line. Cola, Dr Pepper knockoff, Mountain Dew knock off, and Diet version of the Cola and Dr Pepper using sucralose. They all contain 144mg of caffeine. Wired Energy Drink

Yeah, I was not impressed with this. It tasted like a lab experiment gone terribly wrong - a bunch of flavors that just weren't meant to be mixed. And in spite of it not being an "energy" cola, it had an energy drink-like aftertaste.

Seriously folks, some things just aren't meant to be natural.
