Killer Buzz Zilch Energy Review

I've been trying to live a "healthier" lifestyle lately and I've been trying to avoid my favorite foods such as Funyuns and the Bold Party Blend variety of Chex Mix. As anyone should know, energy drinks certainly aren't nutrition in a can. Much like with soda, there are of course "diet" energy drinks but I haven't tried many of them. Since I've been trying to be healthier, I've cut back on energy drinks. But, for the sake of this website and a few other reasons I'm going to go with the "moderation" rule and drink one here and there. So, I felt exceptionally less guilty when getting ready to drink this for a review. There has always been talk about how bad for you "diet" drinks still are, but that wasn't really going through my head as I prepared to drink my 100-somethingth energy drink. Zilch contains no sugar and no carbs, and is therefore a healthier alternative to the regular varieties of the drink. I feel that the name is appropriate, as "zilch" means zero. The main thing going through my head was that this drink would probably taste "diet", and have the kind of flat taste that a lot of diet pops suffer from. So, without further ado let's see how Zilch can compare with it's fellow full-flavored Killer Buzz drinks.

The Can:
I initially received 24 cans of Killer Buzz in the mail, and have gotten quite used to their design from seeing them in my fridge and from drinking them. I like their design, it's somewhat "bland" yet effective. They keep it simple, and choose not to overdo their design with a bunch of flashy logos and colors. As you would probably expect, they chose blue for the color scheme of this drink as it is the probably supposed to be the "diet" version of Proto, their green variety. I find the text of the back of these cans amusing, with Zilch saying that it's very mysterious and sneaky. The Killer Buzz cans all have familiar elements that change with each flavor, the text on the front on Zilch says "No sugar. No carbs. All energy." I like the text, and can't find much to complain about with this can. In my previous review of Proto, I compared the cans to Slap's cans. That remains the same with this drink, their not that similar but for the sake of having something to compare this to I find it effective.

The Taste:
Although it lacks sugar, the main concern with this drink to me was not if it would still provide energy. I was more concerned with how good it would taste as it is a more "healthy" drink, and I was very satisfied. The flavor is nearly on par with Proto's flavor, you can tell that it's "diet" but not in a gross way, at least to me. A couple of people that I know also tried Zilch, with one agreeing with me and one saying that it tasted TOO diet. Honestly, I don't taste that whatsoever and don't know how you could at all. But, I would say that Zilch is an enjoyable offering. It was fairly drinkable, and admittedly the Zilch cans were the last that I had in my fridge but I definitely enjoyed the flavor when I had them.


The Buzz:
Naturally, Zilch still contains Killer Buzz's unique blend of GHAA, Giant Hornet Amino Acid. I evaluated last time that the buzz was very effective but by no means "killer", meaning that you won't die. That remains very true with Zilch. This drink is very effective in providing a satisfactory buzz that lasts for quite some tine, and I found it enjoyable. There's not much else to say, and I feel that mentioning the buzz for each individual flavor of Killer Buzz will get redundant. But, I have to do what I have to do and will conclude my section on Killer Buzz's Zilch drink's buzz by saying that it isn't bad, and is about as good as I expected it to be.

Zilch was another good Killer Buzz drink. I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a tasty, zero sugar, and zero carb energy drink. It tasted good, was effective, and the can design isn't bad at all either. I look forward to reviewing the remaining Killer Buzz flavors, I have had my fair share of each by now and will eventually get done with reviewing them/
