Something new...

This has been taunting me at the local Gas Station for a while now, so I thought I'd give it a try, instead of my usual Sobe Adrenaline Rush.
Upshot is a 2.5 ounce energy drink with 200mg caffeine — sounds good... .Upshot Mocha
Okay.. took me more thatn five minutes just to get the bottle open — that's not a good sign.

Flavor: Mocha
Ingredients: Proprietary Methylxanthine Blend - PytoXan (Proprietary blend of plant-based methylxanthines-Caffiene, Theobromine, Theophyline, from Guarana Seed extract, Green Tea extract, Kola Nut extract and USP caffeine anahydrous)
Other Ingredients: Water, Liquid Sucrose, El Salvadorian Coffee Extract, Chocolate Extract, Vanilla, Natural Flavors, Natural Gums, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate (to preserve flavor).

Smell:
Like a chocolaty NyQuil (hmmm....)

Since it's only 2.5 ounces, it's gonna go down quickly (also because of the NyQuil thing...

Note to self
, "Don't buy this again!"

I can't quite describe the taste.. maybe like the cheapest chocolate liqueur available in the third world, & the conveyor belt at the factory must go past bags of coffee beans, so it that gets an idea of what it's supposed to taste of.

Live and Learn!

Update: It may taste pretty bad, but it definitely got the job done, & I am just bouncing off the walls!
But I stil won't buy it again. Maybe it should be labeled, "For emergency use only."
