Rockstar Diet

A Fair & Honest Energy Drink Review

Rockstar Diet Retail Package Description

The Diet Rockstar can looks totally Hollywood glam with all the gold trim and gold star. Especially since it says Diet too, you know all of Hollywood is on some kind of diet. I love all the catchy phrases written on it, because they only use the word energy once, unlike most energy drink cans where its used and reused. Rockstar uses words like "Double Size Double Strength" and "Bigger, Faster, Stronger" sound more like an ad for a porno than a soda.

Caffeine Addict's Rockstar Diet Review

I like all the Rockstar drinks, and believe if they were properly marketed, would outsell Red Bull and the Monster line of sodas combined. Both the black can (regular Rockstar) and the white can (sugar free) have a really sweet tart taste, in fact, somewhat like Sweettarts the candy. The sugar free is a little less tasty to me, but grows on me more with each additional can I knock back. This Rockstar tastes really tart, almost makes the mouth pucker. If you like a lot of flavor, a lot of drink, and a goodly amount of energy, this is your drink.

I drink these pretty regularly, and rarely feel any exhaustion throughout the day. I don't drink one and become so overwhelmed with get-up-and-go that I want to get-up-and-go rape and pillage, but it's a reasonable multiple cup of coffee ordeal.

As for value, if you want a low calorie drink that you can enjoy throughout an hour or two at your desk, that will keep you from falling asleep while you procrastinate on the project you're supposed to be working on...that's exactly why I buy this soda.

Energy Junkie's Rockstar Diet Review

This is my new favorite energy drink. I can't get enough of the flavor. It has the perfect amount of sweetener in it, not to mention no artificial sweetener aftertaste. It doesn't have any sugar in it, it's low in calories and carbs. It actually has slightly less carbs than the low carb Monster which was previously the soda I drank the most.

If you are the type who likes to let your soda sit for a while and sip it, then it gets a little more sour. I think it's better then. I think the tartness goes well with the very sweet taste. This soda is not heavy at all. It doesn't seem to get thick and it doesn't even make your breath smell as much as most sodas do.

The energy could be higher, but I'm not going to complain about it. I don't feel like I'm going to fall asleep, but I also don't feel like my hands are burning like the Chaser did. I think it's a good medium. If it were up to me, I'd just load it up with caffeine. Probably more than the amount of taurine they put in here. But I assume there's some FDA-like reason they don't do that.

The only place this one will score a little lower is on the price. I'd really like to see a bit of a discount. No one carries it for less than $1.99. I noticed that Harris Teeter started carrying a four pack but I didn't see a price tag. Lucky for me a I have an awesome boyfriend who managed to procure a whole case for me. It's almost empty though.
