The can looks almost spiritual to me. It has the big symbol for omega with starburst effect, or rays of fruity colored sunshine coming from behind the logo. It gives quite the Zen like feeling.
Omega has been out for some time, around mid-2004, Monster and Omega were the only 2 16oz. energy drinks that went on sale for $1.50. I was, of course, much happier when the Monster was on sale, but would choke down the Omega. Early in the morning, it can really get things moving, and I'm not talking about energy, I'm talking about bowels. This was like Metamucil Energy Drink, they should market it as a stool softener.
As for taste, mom always said, "If you don't have anything nice to say...". It's really bad, but I thought Rumba was bad too, which is also a fruity (citrus flavored) beverage. Maybe it's just that I don't like "real" orangey flavored drinks (I like fake orange flavor, like Sunkist or the orange Fanta). It suffers the same problem as Rumba, that aluminum citrus taste.
The energy is good, which you'll need to get to the toilet posthaste.
This soda tasted horrible. Plain and simple. I had a very hard time with the few sips that I tried to keep down. This is one of few drinks that I just couldn't finish, even though I wanted to try to salvage something out of the $2 wasted, it's just not possible. The mango passion fruit flavor made me think I was going to get something new and different to enjoy, but it turned out to be sooo gross. I'd rather spend 10 minutes licking a raw onion. I'll have a hard time rating the energy level since I couldn't bring myself to finish it. Nothing about this was good.
