This can is very red, and almost completely lacks text.
My partner-in-crime has already pointed out that this drink tastes strikingly similar to another notoriously ghastly tasting energy drink. He/she's also fairly pertinently made fun of the Spears family, and noted how they've astonishingly brought shame on their already white-trash-laden surname. By comparison, Federline is starting to look pretty good. This brings us to today's energy drink review. If Steven Seagal's Lightning Bolt Asian Experience Energy Drink is the Spears family, then 180 Red with Goji is the Federlines. In this example, you can see that one only looks better when compared to the other. Sort of like a stomach virus is almost enjoyable when compared to e coli.
I was more energized by the Richard Simmons "Sweatin' to the Oldies" commercial.
The price isn't bad, if this was the original 180, but apparently Anhueser-Busch's quality control insisted that their energy drinks taste as bad as their beer.
Seeing as how Goji berry is an ingredient in Steven Seagal's Lightning Bolt Asian Experience Energy Drink, I would have guessed other energy drink producers would have avoided it like the plague. Apparently, the guys at 180 have all the decision-making acumen of Jamie-Lynn Spears. Before opening the can, I was already imagining this would taste like the underside Stephen Seagal's beer belly. As I suspected, this drink had a very herbal taste, like hippie cough medicine. It wasn't as thick and molassessy as the Stephen Seagal drink, but the herbal remedy flavor would make even Kevin Trudeau back away from the can with a revolted look on his face.
Since it was at least drinkable, I consumed 180 Red as quickly as possible. As a result, I think it seemed rather affective. I had some-get-up-and-go for a good portion of the day.
At $1.19, it's not that bad, if you were brought up in a commune, and are used to eating leaves and dirt to cure anything from bad acid trips to herpes.
