I've yet to have a true "energy drink" that I really liked. Rockstar Cola is OK, but nothing special, but it's next to impossible to find.

Then there's Bawls, of course, which tastes excellent, but isn't really an energy drink, it's more like Jolt, a caffiene-charged soda pop.

I'm sure that someone may have mentioned this , but I have found that XS taste pretty good in comparision with some of the others , and I speak form experience. Comming from tne UK RedBull is pretty mush the standard even though it taste funny.

I'll be happy to send you my comparision if intrested.

I have Tasted over 60 diffrient energy drinks and done my own taste test - you should know that most energy drinks out there are redbull clones; most companies have one flavor 3 at most; 90% are loaded with sugar; and be carefull of the one where the side of the can is mostly a warning.

I have even mixed cocktails with Redbull and XS using the same ingredients and you can tell the differience.

I have also worked with a number of persanal trainers and they all say the same thing XS Rocks, with several falvors and caffine free versions there's an XS there for everyone.

Before you ask , Yes I do distribute XS and i don't force anyone too. It's also tru that some people are pushy , however you should realise that it is that person , the product is fantastic.

I still say Hype leads in the taste field, followed by such drinks as Crunk, Liquid Ice and Rockstar.

BodyMax, What other energy drinks did you do the taste test on. What was the result. What was the process of your selection. Who was the winner and by what margin was the winner compared to the next ten out of 60.

I happened to have my own research. Here's my process:

10 individuals

10 different energy drinks

2 cans of each drink per individual (non-sugar free)

1st test dated Aug 1, 2005-based on, taste, package, mixability.

2nd test Aug 2, 2005- Based on effectiveness, and ingredients.


I would post the results but I dont what to push any product or be favorable to any. If you want to know where XS stands, please pm me and we'll share notes.
