Manufacturer's Brand Overview: [Edit]
Pimp Juice, currently available in the Extra Strength Original formula, is a healthy, non-carbonated energy drink possessing a tropical berry flavor. Pimp Juice?s artificial coloring gives it a smooth neon green glow, while its 10 % apple juice content adds a natural sweetness to its taste. Providing 100% of the body?s needed vitamin C, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B12, Pimp Juice works to increase the drinker?s energy supply, which in turn enhances mental awareness, stimulates the metabolism, and battles bodily sickness. In addition, an 8.4 oz serving of pimp juice contains 7mg of Taurine, a conditionally essential amino acid that aids the body in its absorption of nutrients needed for optimal mental and physical performance. Pimp Juice acquires its boost from Caffeine, 81 mg per 8 ounce serving, and Guarana, an all-natural tropical ingredient. When roasted, Guarana seeds produce stimulating effects similar to caffeine. Pimp Juice also includes 250 mg of D-Ribose and approximately 130 calories per serving. To enhance the beverage options of our fans, Pimp Juice now has a low calorie version called PJ Tight and a new grape/ prickly pear flavor called Pimp Juice- The Purple Label. The Purple Label Pimp Juice is lightly carbonated and possesses a fresh Prickly Pear/ Pomegranate flavor. FSB is proud to introduce a truly premium anti-oxidant/ energy drink with a proprietary blend of Acai, Ascorbic Acid, Grape Extract, Green Tea Extract, Pear Extract, Pomegranate Juice, and Yerba Mate. In addition to its beneficial anti-oxidant components, Pimp Juice maintains its energy boost with 81mg of Caffeine per serving, a nice dose of Taurine, and the added kick of Guarana Pimp Juice represents the new and improved energy drink for today's active and health conscious consumer. The use of caffeine, taurine, and guarana allows Pimp Juice to adequately address the energy needs of their consumers. In addition to these energy components, Pimp Juice also goes a step further to provide the nutrients needed to maintain this high level of function. Furthermore, Pimp Juice is non-carbonated which makes it ideal for demanding sports and intense workouts.


PJ Purple Label
Category: Energy: Regular; Packaging: 16 oz can
BevNET Review:
The latest installment of Pimp Juice is PJ Purple Label, an rather unassuming 16 oz juice based entry. It packs a proprietary blend of acai, pear, and pomegranate juices, as well as grape extract, green tea extract, and yerba mate. Despite all the exotic sounding ingredients, the product has a flavor that's best described as a cross between grape and berry. Speaking of the exotic ingredients, that's also leads us to our biggest question about this drink. Specifically, is the urban styling of Pimp Juice in conflict with a drink that touts its anti-oxidant benefits and premium ingredients? We'd say yes. Then again, it's probably the taste that will make drinkers try this product and come back for more. That being said, we'd like to see them plug the flavor and add a bit more personality to this extension. Otherwise, we think they've got a killer drink.

PJ Tight
Category: Energy: Regular; Packaging: 8.0 fl oz can (250 ml)
BevNET Review:
With its mild green apple flavor, pleasing absence of carbonation, memorable name and cool yellow, black, silver and gold can, we’d call the Pimp Juice brand extension PJ Tight the perfect light energy drink -- if only they could do a better job of masking the product's aftertaste. Because that aftertaste really puts a damper on what you’re thinking about when you get most of the way through a sip of this product. First, you’re saying to yourself that this guy, this rapper, this…Nelly, is a genius because he’s eliminated one of the biggest flavor problems most energy drinks have. Then it hits you – the aftertaste, with the medicinal notes that accompany it. And then all you think is, "Whoa Nelly, you were so close!" Improving the bitter finish and aftertaste would bring this product near perfection. Overall, PJ Tight is a worthy extension to the Pimp Juice brand and, given its timeliness as a low-carb product, as well as the absence of the words "Pimp Juice" on the can, we think that this will be a bigger success than the original.

Pimp Juice
Category: Energy: Regular; Packaging: 250 ml can
BevNET Review:
Where do we even begin? Created by a company where hip-hop star Nelly is the chairman, Pimp Juice uses one of the more unique energy drink formulations that we've tested. Made with apple juice, Pimp Juice is a non-carbonated energy drink that has a bright green color and a very sweet sour apple flavor. The taste tested pretty well in our test panels, mainly because of the lack of a medicinal flavor. As for the can, people seem to either love it or hate it -- in some cases finding the word "pimp" to be somewhat offensive. Regardless, the name is something that will both help and hurt the sales of this product. If nothing else, it's very original. Overall, we like the flavor of this product and the fact that they are trying something different.
