BevNET Review:
You could've knocked us over with a feather when we tried this: it's actually not bad. A low-sugar, kid-oriented sports drink, Rudy Revolution uses a mix of crystalline fructose and a touch of xylitol (a low-calorie sweetener) to make a light-tasting citrus drink with no aftertaste and a pleasant mouthfeel that doesn't have a lot of the salt texture associated with other sports drinks. The bottle, despite a potentially disastrous shrink-wrap of Rudy Ruettiger being lifted by fellow Notre Dame football players, is nevertheless fairly understated, albeit the milk-slammer style bottle is a bit flimsy. Still, we'd reach for it again, and at 100 calories in a bottle, we wouldn't mind our kids drinking it at all.
