I think ROX taste the best. But just because I think it taste best does not mean you will think it taste best.

I'm kinda partial to Liquid Ice, and PimpJuice. Both have a different distinct flavor.

It just goes to show how tastes are subjective.
I find liquid ice to be vile stuff. Almost undrinkable.
Pimp juice is more or less apple juice with lots of added sugar and some other stuff none of witch gives any energy. I think it taste like flat, stale, old energy drink. Again not very drinkable.
Both these beverages are ghetto themed. Liquid ice using the name of a has been rapper and B actor Ice T.
Pimp Juice using the name of Nelly a thug, gansta rapper who promotes antisocial behavior, drug use and violence.
These drinks lack originality and were rushed to the market to cash in on both the energy drink fad and the popularity of the ghetto culture.

Well tell me what you really think. I like them, and despite the ethnicity of them, or the has been names, I like em, but then again, that's just my opinion. There's several energy drinks I like. I just like that they're not following the "RB" trademarks, and are a little different.

I recently tasted Liquid Ice at a convention in Vegas and thought it was awesome! Contrary to what Lepke posted about it tasting vile, Liquid Ice is a pretty hot drink. As a bartender who's always looking for good drinks for my customers, I decided to give Liquid Ice a shot and the customers loved it. A good drink is a good drink and when customers are asking for it, one would be a fool to move on to something else.

Why be unoriginal and boring by buying Red Bull clones??

So how long have you been working for Liquid Ice?
I’m sure your customers are asking for it. NOT
If you are indeed a bartender.
I know for a fact liquid ice was rushed to market without much thought to taste or ingredients. The idea was to cash in on someone’s connection to ICE T.

i go to a lot of bars, really, i waste a lot of money. and i don't have anything in the energy drink war at all, and really don't care for em that much, but i've never seen anything but red bull in a bar. one bar i saw 180 in when it first came out, and i've seen this stuff that's on a gun a few times. other than that, i've never seen liquid ice, sumpoose or anything else.

can anyone seriously, legitimately, name some bars that carry non RB energy drinks? I'm curious, and i'm not trying to start ****, i'm just curious.
