Review: Fruit Punch

The Fruit Punch variety of Accelerade has a slightly sour flavor and a relatively low level of sweetness. We've never tried the powdered version of Accelerade, but we are willing to guess that it doesn't taste much different than this product, which drinks very much like a powdered product you'd make at home. There's also a touch of dairy to the flavor, which helps to combat the bitterness, but unfortunately doesn't do a good enough job. The label of the product is way too busy, which will likely make consumers miss the intended function of the product. Overall, a decent entry which would probably benefit from some simplification to the label as the benefits seem a bit lost in the busy design.
