I thought Red Bull wasn’t bad (at least the aftertaste didn’t make me want to gag), but then I had been barely awake at about 6 am and in serious need of a kick. ---

Full Throttle is the best-tasting energy drink yet. ---

> [@Pushkin](#): > > No idea how widely available it is, but Lucozade tastes nice. Not sure what flavour it can be described as, quite sweet orange? It’s more available in Ireland than anywhere else I’ve been. I love it, though not more than a bottle or so at one time. My friend in New York city says she can get it, but it definetely gets trickier outside of Ireland where you can even get in it pubs. ---

Did rapper Li’l Jon ever release his Krunk energy drinks? I’ve only tried Amp, and thought it was gross–and I’m actually a Mountain Dew fan! ---

I will admit that the SECOND time I tried Amp, I puked later that day. :eek: Yeah, but I don’t know if I can atribute it to that. Correlation does not equal Causation and all of that. ---

I was actually going to say that Amp is the only one that tastes good to me! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/can-they-make-an-energy-drink-that-actually-tastes-good/304017.md?page=1)
