Rip It Power Energy Review


Rip It is a "value" energy drink brand with several drinks that only cost 99 cents each. What seperates them from other cheap energy drink brands is the fact that they actually have original flavors. A lot of people, including myself, consider Power the original flavor of Rip It. Let's see how this 99 cent energy drink stacks up with other more expensive and more commercial energy drinks out there.





The Can:
For the Power variety, Rip It chose a red, black and silver design that doesn't look horrible. It definitely looks a lot better than some other 99 cent energy drinks I've had before. The can is nicely topped off with a red tab on top that looks pretty good. The can looks stylish and modern and I really wouldn't expect anything better for only 99 cents.

The Drink:
When I first tried this drink a long time ago, I remember being pretty surprised by the flavor. This drink actually tastes like an apple, not apple juice but the actual crisp taste of biting into a fresh apple. It'a a very unique and refreshing flavor that I like even more as I drink more of the can. It's not a sour, citrus drink by any means and is very tasty and enjoyable. If you like drinks like NOS that are really strong, expect this to be almost an exact opposite. It still has a small "bite" to the taste which is a nice way to top it all off.

The Buzz:
Even though Power is only 99 cents they didn't just throw 1000 mg of Taurine in it and call it a "high performance" energy drink. Power does contain 1000 mg of Taurine (But wait, there's more!) and it also has 100 mg of Caffeine, 100 mg of Inositol and 10 mg of Guarana. That's not a horrible energy blend and is enough to wake you up and give you some pretty good energy for awhile. I always feel a nice energy buzz from drinking any Rip It drink and Power is no exception.

For only 99 cents, Power is a great drink with a refreshing flavor. The first time I had a Rip It they were a little hard to find but now it seems like they're starting to show up at a lot of places. If you can find one, I highly recommend giving one a try.
