180 Orange Citrus Blast

A Fair & Honest Energy Drink Review

180 Orange Citrus Blast Retail Package Description

The can I remember the remember the 180 originally coming in was an obnoxious red, blue and yellow affair. This new high energy electric blue and orange medley lacks the certain clown characteristics I expect from a 180 can. Otherwise, it does the same old 180 right side up on one side, and upside down on the other. The only real text on both is "180 Energy Drink" and "Orange Citrus Blast". Otherwise, "Contains no fruit juice".

Caffeine Addict's 180 Orange Citrus Blast Review

I remember 180 Energy Drink being so awesome back in 2000, as I mentioned in my 180 Energy X-3 review. When I found this product, I thought I'd stumbled back into the promised land. Sure, the can was different, but when your can is canary colored, you tend to have an enormous transvestite following, as seen below.

I don't know what it is, but there's something about fugly fruitcake men dressing up as fugly fruitcake women that is simultaneously disturbing, revolting, and amusing in equal parts. Anyway, as I tore into my 180 to prepare for "a grueling night of drag", I found that the 180 I remember is now just a sad lobotomized shell of its former self masquerading as an energy drink. 180 is no longer just a transvestite, this drink is post-op, and even though it still has a deep voice and an Adam's apple, it's lacking anything else you may expect to find in an energy drink.

You may say to yourself, "It's only a $1.19, that's a good value". If there's any lesson to learn from the life of Eddie Murphy it's this, if the price to too good, you've probably got a tranny.

Energy Junkie's 180 Orange Citrus Blast Review

This is by far the best tasting of the 180 Energy Drink product line. For me it's as tasty as you can make a orange flavored soda. Relatively fizzy, and best enjoyed cold, I find it enjoyable and thirst quenching.

Now for the bad news, they forgot to put energizing ingredients in the can. I mean, some guarana, and 100% of 3 Vitamins? I could get that from a glass of V8 and a spoonful of guarana (where I get my guarana by the spoonful is none of your concern). So, seriously, this is a puny energy drink.

At $1.19, it at least tastes good, which is more than I can say for its other 180 siblings. Otherwise, a complete waste of money.
