Bawls is an interesting drink to review, in that it is a bit different from
your usual energy drink. It is a drink that is famous (or infamous) amongst
college campuses, since it is quite effective for keeping you awake to do
some more cramming. The drink, which is said to be guarana flavored, tastes
like a sweeter and smoother version of Sprite. It is a very refreshing
drink indeed. Since this drink only has caffeine and guarana and nothing
else, it does not contain the endurance and power ingredients that you may
find in other drinks, which is why I wouldn't recommend it for doing lots of
physical activity. It provides just a straight-out caffeine high that is
perfect for parties or for keeping you awake when trying to pull
all-nighters, making it a great "social" drink. I also hear that this stuff
mixes quite well with alcoholic beverages as well. So why am I giving it
such a high score? Because it succeeds at what it sets out to be--a great
social drink for hanging out with friends or at parties.

Bawls. You've got to love that name. Bawls is one of the better tasting energy drinks on the market, tasting like a creamy, fruity sprite. Its taste is far better than a Red Bull or even a Monster. It has a very light carbonation, so little that you can only really tell if you shake it up. It also has unique packaging. Its blue bottle has grippy bumps on it, making it look kind of silly. It definitely gets you wired, though not as much as a Monster. One bawls can keep you up around eight hours. The only real downside is the price, and availability. The only places selling it brick-and-mortar that I've found are 7-11s, and Mobils, but they want up to $3.50 a bottle. The internet, on the other hand, can offer prices as low as 99 cents a bottle, making it priced very competitively. Definitely a must-try.
