Caffeine Addict's NOS Fruit Punch High Performance Energy Review

Having sufficiently mocked Paul Walker and the "Fast and Furious" franchise in previous NOS reviews, I'll try to focus on more relevant bits for this review. The first, and more relevant for me, is that this drink behaves a great deal like the dentist's plaque tablets. About four sips in, I looked like I'd eaten a block of cheese and drank and box of wine. This doesn't say a lot for my dental hygiene, since I'd expect better plaque exposure results from a 16th century British dock worker. Unfortunately, my teeth look like a collection of "that one" tooth of Jewel's, so it's hard to brush affectively. Compound that with me not caring, and you get my grimy oral landscape. To be fair, I've never had a cavity, so maybe if you guys stopped rubbing snake oil pastes and potions on your teeth, that are full of mind controlling fluorides, you would have a set of jagged plaque guarded teeth like me.

Otherwise, this does taste more "cherry" than "fruity", unlike Paul Walker, who is far more "fruity" than just about any other word used to describe Paul Walker. Since cherries are fruits, I guess it's still correct, just not as accurate as it could be. Notable amount of carbs and sodium make this a dieter/diabetic's nightmare.

I think it's worth mentioning that the cans we got looked like they'd been through WWII. Not only did they look like they'd been in the store since before refrigeration units were commonplace, but they were beat up like they were married to Ike Turner. On top of that, the lids were dirty like Madonna Louise Ciccone (the "music" performer Madonna) is dirty down stairs.

For around $2, this is a reasonable deal. Besides your teeth looking like you ate clown makeup, and people assuming you're a Vin Diesel fan, NOS Fruit Punch is a worthwhile energy investment. Tangy cherry/fruit flavor, acceptable energy supplementation and industry standard price. I wouldn't rush out an buy one, but it's probably worth a try if you're not going to be around anyone who's going to make fun of your teeth.

Energy Junkie's NOS Fruit Punch High Performance Energy Review

I feel as though I've been smashed in the face with cherries. If you enjoy cherry flavor, NOS Fruit Punch is the drink for you! I honestly think that they should have called the drink "CHERRY". I'm sure that there may be some other fruit flavors lingering in the can, but the cherry flavor dominates this drink. I enjoy cherry quite a bit so it's not a problem for me. Apparently NOS Fruit Punch does not contain any juice, which is surprising considering the juice like quality of the drink.

The energy gained is substantial, but I wouldn't say that it warrants a warning that it is "POWERFUL". According to the top of the can it contains taurine, ginseng, caffeine, taurine, and l-carnitine. That's right folks, double taurine! With all of this taurine, I can feel my hypothalamus tingling! Now that I'm all jacked up on endocrine and caffeine, I can focus on writing the rest of this review.

I paid $2.10 for a can of NOS Fruit Punch at the local gas station. I feel that this is a pretty sweet deal. You get a drink that gets you energized and doesn't taste like your grandma's perfume mixed with vomit for a moderate price tag.
