Rip It makes sugar-free versions of several of their regular flavors, but like Citrus X, this is one of the most easily-acquired. I've seen this drink at every Dollar Tree that I've ever been to, with my local Family Dollar stores carrying this almost as reliably as they do sugar-free Citrus X. Power and Citrus X were two of Rip It's first flavors, and their respective sugar-free versions have apparently had plenty of time to make their way to a discount store near you for the convenient price of only $1 each.

Can/Design:

The regular Power's color scheme is primarily red, with the sugar-free version opting for blue instead. This drink's color scheme works better with Rip It's sugar-free layout than Citrus X, and it actually looks pretty good. The front of the can states that it contains 0 calories, 0 carbs, and is, in fact, sugar free. For only $1, this is probably as good as an energy drink is going to get in terms of can design.

Taste:

"Power" isn't a very descriptive name, and this drank may find a more flavor-hinting name with "Apple/Strawberry/Other Stuff That Tastes Good", or "Pretty Good for a Sugar-Free Energy Drink". The taste of this drink is pretty close to the original Power, and it tastes a lot less "artificial" than some other sugar-free energy drinks do. If you like Power, and hope to like the sugar-free alternative- you probably will. If you've never had the original Power, expect a hard-to-place, fruity flavor that is smooth, crisp, and pretty enjoyable.

Energy:

Rip It drinks are reliably effective as far as energy goes, and this drink is no exception. This drink's energy blend more than makes up for its lack of sugar, and while it isn't ridiculous, you can definitely expect some energy from this drink. It's pretty much on the same level as any other sugar-free energy drink that you can find, but for only $1!

If you can find this, give it a try. Unless you hate sugar-free energy drinks, it's more than worth its $1 price, and definitely holds its own as a reasonable sugar-free alternative to Rip It's Power drink.
