The Sobe can looks very powerful. It is all black with Sobe Adrenaline Rush highlighted in yellow wih red text. It also has the Sobe Lizards on the front. You know the ones that make a cool 'S' shape but really look like they are getting some 69 action going on.
Sugar can make or break a soda, and with 140 calories, and an eye-popping 37g of carbs, sugar must make up about 20% of the can. I almost had to go get a spoon to finish it. I love the flavor, but I also love butter, and I stopped eating that out of the tub months ago...sometimes we have to sacrifice for our health. I can't place what it tastes like, certainly a form of citrus fruit, but can't place my finger on which, maybe a blend of them...coated in sugar.
In about mid 2001, I used to drink 2 of these every morning. I was sleeping about 3.5 hours a day, and these kept me going pretty good from 8am-5pm, unless Susan or Bert (some of my bosses) wanted to have one of their incredibly boring meetings about stuff they thought mattered. Here's a clue guys..."making money", that's what matters. Anyway, fortunately I was getting a check from them, and selling stuff on eBay during the time I was paid to look busy, because $4 every morning on energy drinks can really add up, especially when you have one of the aforementioned meetings, and you need 2 more to face the second half of the day.
In the time it's been out, I've never seen the price reduced, or even seen the Adrenaline rush on sale. At $1.49, this would be a top 5 for value, but not at its standard $1.99.
This seemed a bit too thick. I felt like I was drinking the syrup from the bottom of a can of pineapples, with a little carbonation. The flavor thickened too quickly to savor the flavor. It's always good to drink when cold, but this was rediculous, I had a hard time getting the last gulp down. The energy was pretty decent, but short lived. I did feel a little light headed for the rest of day, and had a bit of a hard time falling to sleep in a timely manner, although that may have had something to do with the other 3 energy drinks I partook in that day...
