(no official site for this drink- just a link to The Simpsons website)

You've watched The Simpsons before, right? If not, you've had plenty of time- as The Simpsons is the longest-running animated comedy on television (having been broadcast since 1989!). For the unaware, "Duff" is the brand of beer that Homer Simpson (one of the show's main characters) drinks considerably often. There's a certain novelty factor with drinks like this that I have to appreciate. While this drink doesn't contain any alcohol, it does look 100% identical to the cans on the show (as it should) and just kind of seems like it jumped out of a cartoon and into your hand. With that said, what's the use with being mute like Maggie Simpson about the rest of this drink at this point? Read on.

Can/Design:

As I said, this drink's can looks exactly identical to how it does on The Simpsons. It's not the "standard" energy drink size of 16. fl. oz, but then again, are the cans on the show? Nope. I personally wish more products in the real world looks like this. Lastly, the front on the can boasts that this drink has a "wonderful orange flavor"..but how wonderful?

Taste:

I wish I had $1 for every time I've said this on this website, but "orange" in regards to an energy drink's flavor can mean many different things. An artificial, natural, or inspired orange flavor? Well, this drink is certainly artificial- but by no means bad. It reminded me of NOS in a sense by tasting like an orange that got coated with 8 gallons of sugar and then decided to let itself go. It tastes good. I wouldn't recommend this if you don't typically like sugar-y drinks, but if not, why are you reading this?

Energy:

110 mg. of caffeine per 12 fl. oz. can is pretty fair. A 16 fl. oz. energy drink often contains about 140 mg. of caffeine, so if you do the math, it balances out. I personally drank this somewhat fast and was met with a satisfactory energy buzz that met my expectations and then some. There's nothing to complain about there whatsoever.

How often would you actually drink this drink if it were available to you? I think this drink's novelty factor is certainly what it is & nothing more, but that doesn't mean that it's a bad energy drink by any means. I personally really enjoyed it, and commend Boston America (the makers of this drink) for going a step further and actually making a decent drink out of this TV-inspired product. I also got this at a Five Below store- which may be where you want to look if you want to find one of these to try for yourself.
