The can is bright pink with yellow and orange text. It proudly states 0 Carbs 0 Sugar! All Of The Energy None Of The Sugar!! XS has only 8 calories and is a Cranberry-Grape blast.
Finally, a lo-carb energy drink that tastes like something fruity, and not like crap. The lack of artificial sweetener aftertaste is likely the most important to me, and is normally most recognizable in sodas that are supposed to taste like a fruit. The XS Cranberry Grape Blast tastes like grape mostly to me, not a lot of cranberry. I'm happy either way. Grape sodas taste good, and with only 8 calories, 0 carbs, 0 sugars, and only 24mg of sodium, this may be the perfect health enthusiasts energy drink. My friend Ryan gave me one of these to try, he's pretty health conscious, and buys them by the case.
I was energized and feel that 4900% of my daily B12 may have had something to do with it. The soda also seemed to have a good deal of caffeine.
The only place XS gets beat up is on the price, the price isn't exact, as we took one can out of the case, to which Ryan didn't know the exact price, but estimated $26 for 12 sodas, which would be $2.16666... per can, which we rounded to a convenient $2.19. Either way, high by my approx. 8oz. soda standards.

Ok, I'm not sure if maybe we started coming up high in search results or what, but we respectfully request that you not use this page to promote your Amway/Quixtar business. We have been clear about the fact that this was purchased from Quixtar from day one. There is a time and a place for being enterprising, this may be the time, but our website is not the place.

The soda was pink!! I love that. It was a nice change from the hum drum yellow soda. Little things like that make all the diference to me. I agree with Jason, it was a strong grape flavored drink, maybe a little strawberry, but not much cranberry flavor.
I was not very thrilled by this energy drink. I don't feel like I got much out of it, maybe that's because I really had to force that last bit down. Don't get me wrong, I love grape juice, but this wasn't like regular grape juice. It was very heavy and not very energizing or thirst quenching. Usually I complain about the small 8.4 oz drinks, but in this case I was glad to be done with it.
