Shockwave is sold exclusively at Speedway gas stations. So, if you've never heard of or been to a Speedway gas station, then you're probably out of luck with finding this drink. There's actually only one Speedway near me, and it was appropriately where I found this drink alongside Shockwave's other flavors. I decided to try their original flavor first, and paid less than the average energy drink for it.
Can/Design:
Taste:
Shockwave's flavor didn't surprise me whatsoever. I almost want to say that it's a "generic" energy drink taste, but it isn't. Still, I can't help but feel that I've tasted this drink before. Shockwave has a slightly-gummy, citrus-y taste that wasn't undrinkable at all. To the average energy drink consumer that walks into Speedway and decides to try this, I feel that it'll taste alright. Still, don't expect anything too revolutionary or new with this drink's taste.
Energy:
One of Shockwave's biggest selling points is the fact that it contains CoQ10. CoQ10 is an antioxidant that provides energy, but the addition of CoQ10 to an energy drink won't make it outstanding or unbelievably intense. Thankfully, this drink also contains 66 grams of sugar, which can help in perking you up a little bit. The caffeine content isn't listed, but the energy blend also contains other typical ingredients such as Taurine and Inositol.
Shockwave definitely gave me some energy, and while it wasn't anything overbearing, it was still alright and basically what I was expecting from this drink. I don't think anyone will drink this and be blown away, but will instead receive what they were already expecting after looking at and tasting this drink.
Is this drink worth trying? Yeah, as long as you can get to a Speedway.
