BevNET Review
First of all, we don't like the package of this product. It's bad enough that consumers have no idea what they are consuming when they drink 8oz sized energy drinks, but this is a bit over the top. Claiming that it is "scientifcally formulated to give your body the sustained energy it needs", this product contains high fructose corn syrup, taurine, caffeine, guarana, and ginkgo biloba, just like every other energy drink. In fact, we think it tastes just like every other energy drink as well. It's palatable, but has a certain finish that isn't very refreshing. This is just another me-too tasting product in a big can. We'd pass on this one.
