BevNET Review

First things first: we love the can, which looks like a flaming explosion kamikaze-style, and we love the name Banzai, which is a great name for an energy drink, and we can already see the commercials in our minds – dude drinks Banzai, yells “Banzai!” and dives into a crowd of Ninjas/Girls/Muppets. And the drink itself is a nice version of an energy drink – no high-fructose corn syrup and no caffeine aftertaste – but it’s not so overwhelmingly good or different as to make us believe that Banzai is any better than its competitors. Still, you should try it if you drink energy drinks for what’s on the can, not what’s inside it.
