Mad-Croc

A Fair & Honest Energy Drink Review

Mad-Croc Retail Package Description

Mad-Croc Energy Drink with caffeine, taurine, and vitamins. Energy with a wild bite! I wasn't really sure what to think about this one. The can looks like it might be very old. The color scheme and font are simple, and not very exciting. The croc pictured on the front certainly doesn't look mad. He looks more like he might be yawning. I guess with a name like Mad-Croc I'd expect it to have wrinkled eyebrows and scowl on his face, or if they could somehow depict the croc on a rampage. That would make more sense.

Caffeine Addict's Mad-Croc Review

Just the thought of Mad Croc energy drink makes my cavities tingle. This drink is thick and sticky, like an old jolly rancher that won't come loose of it's wrapper. The taste is most akin to a mouthful of gummy bears, and the thickness is similar. I enjoyed the drink, as I'm a sipper. I don't see Mad Croc being enjoyable for a chugger, unless you like chugging maple syrup.

The Mad Croc was the first of several energy drinks consumed while leaving Delaware on a nearly half day road trip home. It kept me awake and alert for about an hour and a half down dreary farm roads, with fresh vegetable stands every 120 yards, as far as the eye could see. Though the drive was less than scenic, I felt better knowing that I'd paid no sales tax on the Mad Croc. I didn't feel better about being so far away from civilization, with my cellular phone completely out of signal range.

Otherwise, at $2, this one just gets lost in the pack of others. Nothing differentiates the Mad Croc. Even with an above average energy rating, the taste is nothing to write home about, and the size is the Red Bull, industry standard for poor value energy drinks.

Energy Junkie's Mad-Croc Review

The first sip that I had of this was very sour. It seemed like it got less sour as I drank the soda, or maybe I just got used to the taste. I don't think that it had much of a flavor. It was just sour, which I'm not against as a flavor. It was so sour that it made my mouth salivate from the back of the mouth, like underneath the tongue. It made my teeth feel really squeaky, like the enamel may be coming off as a result of the super sour soda. (Maybe that's what they meant when they said 'wild bite'). You'd get the same feeling if you ate a bunch of lemons. I think this may be one of the worst feelings in the world. It is exponentially worse than the nails on the chalkboard thing.

Mad-Croc was lightly carbonated and somewhat enjoyable as a flavored beverage. Once again, I felt like I could've fallen asleep directly afterward and slept soundly, except for the squeaky teeth thing. The amount of caffeine is not listed on the can, but judging by where it's located on the ingredient list, I'm going to assume that it has about the same amount as OCC had, which is slightly more than a chocolate bar.

While I searched for more information on Mad-Croc I realized that the only website they have offers an order form and some pop up ads. Not to mention that the website I went to wasn't the one listed on the can. The one on the can doesn't exist. On the upside this is a fat free soda, though it is high in sodium.
