I bought a can of the standard 'Power' flavor. I expected it to taste horrible for the price and I was prepared to grit my teeth and take it since I have a tight budget. I was pleasantly surprised instead. It tastes a lot like Red Bull to me, but is 60% cheaper due to a lower price and larger can size. I definitely recommend trying it. The most you'll lose is $1 and a little time.

Bargain basement garbage.
Taste - Yuck. I get nauseated just thinking about it. Maybe its just me, but I despise the strong bubblegum taste of this product. I actually like energy drinks with a very slight bubblegum taste but this is just awful. The only energy drink I can not handle more than a few sips of. I even like KMX better. Man, the .99 cent price point was a warning, what was I thinking? Energy - I couldn't tell since I tossed it out. Probably mediocre though. Design - Truly awful. Dull looking can, doesn't stand out at all. And what about that name. Seriously, Rip It?! Hell, for all I know it gives you gas, ha. Oh yeah, I've only seen this in a Walmart and various dollar stores. Truly a high class product, yep. Perfect for white trash.

Dissapointing.
I found the Rip It Fuel series in 8 ounce stout cans, but have never been able to find the 16 oz ones. The can design looked good, the name was even bearable. I think they need to put some more thought into the flavoring of this drink. Almost too sweet, almost too sour, with a terrible aftertaste, I was not impressed.
I have tried a good number of the energy drinks available in the Ft. Worth area and Rip It stand out. The drink has a nice, slightly citric, taste and is more refreshing than any of the others I have tried. My Wife, who normaly will not drink this type beverage, loves Rip It; I can't keep enough in the house.

Not quite as good as Monster™, but heck for 99¢!!!!
This drink has mix of a fruit punch and cherry taste to it and doesn't have that bad of an aftertaste. Monster still gets a 5.0 for taste and value but Rip It™ isn't far behind in taste and makes up in value. Give it a shot.
I get this drink quite a bit now that i found somewhere to get it. With the price only being $1 its a great value, it tastes awesome too...But i can only find it at 1 store in my area.
