Default WORST Energy Drink You've Tasted?!

For me it was the Von Dutch closely followed by the TAB energy drink.
Personally Von Dutch had one of the worse smells I've ever encountered. Everyone at work hated even showing up on the days when it would be produced, because of the smell!
What's the worse you've experienced?

I would the say energy drink I've tasted was Steven Seagal's Lightning Bolt Energy Drink (both flavors) followed by Red Bull.

Kronik hands down. Some weird grapefruit flavor. Just plain bad.

Tropical Fanstasy was terrible, and the 24:7 low carb is almost as hideous.

IMO... It's not the taste why someone would buy an ED, it's the energy. Although taste does have something to do with getting it down, I do agree to that point. My question to the board is Why would you pay From 1.99 to 2.99 for taste??? Is the consumer stuck to such a "KISS" way of thinking one would buy an Energy beverage simply based on the taste?

Maybe someone should make a soda to taste like energy SRP it at 1.99 and label it Energy based on the fact they put caffeine and sugar in it........WOW what margins that would be....

I have had a few bad tasting EDs but it was the lack of energy that let me down the most, was not worth the $ or time as we all have found once or twice.

Dynamite is probably the worst I have tasted, follow by 180 and Full Throttle.
