Rip It is a decent energy drink. It doesn't have that sour aftertaste like Redbull and so many others have that makes your poor little salivary glands go ape shit. It's easy to drink as it's not overly flavorful (by this I mean you won't get a sugar headache) and the aftertaste is effin' awesome! It tastes like Pez! Remember Pez? The greatest candy on earth. I do suppose you could say that the aftertaste can be somewhat reminiscent of a type of children's medicine but it definitely didn't bother me. As for the pump upedness, for me at least it ranks right up there with Rockstar, Monster and Full Throttle.
I don't know if we're still talking about how well energy drinks cover alcohol but I was fresh out of vodka so I put in a little Bud Light and it wasn't so bad. Not bad for putting beer in an energy drink anyway.

Posted by Dan at June 29, 2005 02:51 PMRip it is good and its only $.99 but it takes two to feel anything for me, but still good
Posted by: JP at July 22, 2005 11:37 PMI don't know where you are buying your Rip It at but at the Foodland by my house which is like a Food Lion or something like that in the south (Krogers Maybe) its only 99 cents a can. If your paying 2 bucks your getting RIPPED for your Rip It.
Posted by: Matt at July 28, 2005 01:47 AMYeah, I find my Rip It for 99 cents at the local gas station, and you know how they jack prices there. Oh, and try the Citrus X flavor: it tastes kinda like Orange Shasta, which isn't a big suprise since it's made by the same folks.
Posted by: Ben at August 9, 2005 11:09 PMMy wife is real particular about almost anything. I started drinking Ripit about 2 1/2 months ago, for .99 cents also. My wife started working out before going to work and I started bringing them home for her to drink, instead of capuccino. She loves them, especially, the Power drink (red). It has such a good taste. I haven't noticed any energy boost, but it doesn't matter at this point now. I'm hooked and my wife...She's on FIRE!!
Posted by: Rosk at August 23, 2005 01:04 PMYou all need to rate Caballo Negro. I had not tasted an energy drink that did not have an after taste until I drank a Caballo Negro. This is by far the best energy drink out on the market.
Posted by: Carlo at September 5, 2005 02:29 PMRip it is by far the best energy drink i have ever tasted.
Posted by: Ryan at October 8, 2005 09:07 AManyone tried the diet? way smooth. doesn't have a crappy after taste and no zing like redbull. seems to be good on energy, it's 99 cents at albertsons. which is good because this energy drink addiction is getting as expensive as smoking
Posted by: johnnysuede at October 14, 2005 09:46 AMyou can't beat Rip it. It tastes good, has a good after taste and it is cheap as hell.
Posted by: Peter at October 15, 2005 02:00 PMIt tastes so good. Like a Todd Gardner or something. Mmmmm...Todd....I like spam too.

Posted by: dooky at November 14, 2005 12:44 PMtried my first rip it tonight. got it at mal wart for 99 cents. beats the hell out of red bull and its a fraction of the price.
Posted by: jeff at November 28, 2005 03:01 AMI forgot to mention, Rip it has a diet version. It's awful!! The worse aftertaste ever. I made the mistake when I went to pick up the citrus one & it was a nightmare.
It does say 'sugar free' on it, but the cans are very similar in design, labeling, & exterior color. After that, I've NEVER made that misake again. Make sure you READ THE LABEL before you pick one up!!!
It's in two flavors but stick to the regular Rip it unless you're a diabetic or love sugar free! YUCK!!
Posted by: hidden beach at December 5, 2005 07:43 PMi luv this energy drink it makes me jumpy and peppy thinks bu bye im sooo hyper lol
Posted by: britani at December 6, 2005 10:27 AMFound it today at Walmart. .99 cents a can and in two flavors plus a diet. Love the power flavor and the price
Posted by: George at December 6, 2005 10:25 PMRip It is the best drink they have a like citrus 99cents great price
Posted by: jenks at December 14, 2005 08:10 PManyone willing to help me out in ordering drinks of their sites??
Posted by: jenks at December 15, 2005 08:26 PMI just moved to Illinois from North Carolina. I used to purchase Rip It at Super Wal-mart and Food Lion. I can't seem to find it anywhere around here. Any suggestions??
Posted by: yates at December 28, 2005 09:17 PMThese are awesome...highly charged with a great taste. 16oz is equal to 2x the charge, rather than less octane per ounce.
Sugar-free is not so tasty tho...for those that remember fresca with saccarin, its almost like that. blah. Its all about the charge tho, i'll be drinking the sugar free anyways.
They're now stocked in dollar tree stores in albuquerque, maybe try there. None at walmart and albertsons here either.
This stuff suprised me. I tried a can cause I saw the .99 price, but didn't expect much. I like the flavor and the impact as much as monster at 1/2 the price. Have to try the other flavors.
Posted by: charlie at February 8, 2006 06:08 AMThe Lime Wrecker is my favorite, works pretty well.
At 99cents, you can't beat it.
Posted by: Dennis at February 13, 2006 04:36 PMHopefully someone here gets a chance to try Atomic Pom and tell us how it is. Can't seem to find it wherever Rip It is sold.
Posted by: KingmanIII at February 21, 2006 09:13 AMWow, forget Rip It, -- it's OK, -- but a friend gave me a can of Black Horse, (Caballo Negro) and I was blown away. I could drink it like lemonade over ice. No bad after taste like Red Bull and the kick was incredible. The best tasting drink I've ever seen.
Posted by: James Harris at March 14, 2006 09:01 AMOver here in Iraq, they actually issue RIP IT out of our base warehouse. I am hooked. It beats Red Bull hands down and for me, its FREE! Thats the best part.
Posted by: Al at March 19, 2006 11:46 PMCaballo Negro! -- Hats off to these guys for a sensational drink. The taste is totally unique!
Posted by: Gregg Harris at March 28, 2006 03:57 PMits great!
i tried the atomic pom. $.99
usually when you rip it that means you're FARTING
Posted by: alex at April 21, 2006 10:12 AMThank you so very much for making the perfect, affordable energy drink EVER. I must say that "Rip It" is the BEST energy drink I have ever experienced, or tasted. I've experienced a higher energy level from Rip It than any energy pill, almost immediately. The price of Rip It is unbelievable, and I absolutely love it. I will never drink another energy drink. But the only problem is that the local store where I live runs out almost immedialty when they stack the shelves. But I will continue to search for them everywhere, because they are so worth it. When feeling down, and lazy.....RIP IT!!! You WILL NOT be dissapointed. from Wash., D.C.
Posted by: Ms. T. Jackson at April 21, 2006 11:37 AMrip it citrus flavor is like the best tasting energy drink out there and it packs a powerful punch! i've drank it for the first time as im typing this comment and its even increased my typing speed!!! GREEEEAAAAAATTTTT energy drink, THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: renee at May 12, 2006 04:13 PMTried my first RIP IT today for a extra boost at work and WOW. Sugar Free "Power" was good to me. My husband liked the Sugar Free Citrus. Hey DC search, Save a Lot in oxon hill Rip It for$.89
Posted by: nikki at May 15, 2006 07:45 PMgreat energy drink ....i bought it 4 wrestling and it tore ppl up wen i was wrestling them..
Posted by: reilly at May 19, 2006 10:00 PMRip It is a pretty good energy drink at a bargain basement price.
Posted by: Chris at June 6, 2006 11:23 AMThis energy tastes decent, but I also think it is a form of a laxative. Everytime I drink Rip It...I get the bubble guts about an hour later...anybody else have this problem?
Posted by: VA Cutie at June 26, 2006 12:27 PMi started to sweat after drinking it
Posted by: luis at July 11, 2006 07:57 PMhow does one start this story... rip it is a huge part of my daily life. IT all started on one cold summer night. my roommates grandpa joe and kristen came back from ralphs with huge smmiles on their faces. at once i was led to inquire about their gay and jolly attitudes. At once joey (very eagerly) about how his favorite drink in the world ( besides horchata ) is now only 25 cents at the local ralphs. at once me and a fellow roommate heated drew raced to our cars to get to ralps first. the race was tight ad close but i finally won by around 3 and a half seconds. i got in line and was first able to purchase four cases of RIP IT ENERGY FUEL. i am a much better person for it and i think the gods for blessing me with these 25 cennt wonder drinnks. go dodgers!!!
A rip it before i go to school in the morning keeps me going like the energizer bunny!! WooT Woot!!
Posted by: courtney at September 8, 2006 02:04 PMRip It is a hard brand of energy drink to buy back in the states even though it is made in California, but so easily accessible to millions of soldiers overseas in Iraq. It is a very addictive drink which tastes good and will give you energy that lasts for hours. It is not for the weak minded or teens. It is more for college students and adults.
This brand needs to be at everystore, not just certain ones...
You can get Rip-It for $3.50 a four pack at Dollar General and also sometimes at Fred's. It's also my favorite.....
Posted by: kelly at October 30, 2006 04:54 AMMy PEEPS!! Finally, other RIP IT! heads really are out there. My friends make fun of my caffeine addiction. They call them crack in a can..LOL! I like to sugar free (silver and blue can). The Citrus is pretty good too. The Atomic POM tasted like bad cough medicine.
Posted by: Tiff at October 30, 2006 06:17 AMtastes like a super-cheap generic store-brand soda.
Posted by: chad wright at October 30, 2006 05:33 PMI THINK RIP IT IS THE BEST ENERGY DRINK MADE!!!! BUT IF YOU CAN NOT FIND IT IN STORES AND WOULD LIKE TO ORDER RIP IT. EMAIL ME AT RIPITENERGYFUEL@YAHOO.COM I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP YOU OUT.
Posted by: RANDY at November 13, 2006 01:19 AMRip it, citris x is by far the best engergy drink ive ever had it has a great taste. it doesnt have that bad of an after taste, but it doess have one. i drank one this morning at school and i was kinda hyper lol yeah. but it sucks cause i cant find any by my house i get it from the store by my gramas house but she lives a half hour away!
its worth it tho. $.99 cents :)
Well Rip It is cheaper than drinks like Rockstar and Monster but I find good reason. The taste is sweet at first but a little too bitter aftertaste and the buzz factor is nearly non-existant. It definitely doesn't give me energy like Rockstars. Maybe for a minute or two, but it fails in that category.
Posted by: C Dub at November 27, 2006 10:51 PMthe power is good and it was my fav until atomic pom came out but i cant bealive it is given to solders over seas i hered u can order it of line but i am not sher it is cheap and not well nown tell yer freinds so it can get bigger and sold in more places i really like the fact that ther are other people who drink them and kelly who ever u r just make fun of them like my freinds called it crack in a can to so they all wanted to go to mcky ds and not get rip its so i started sayin stuff like u really wana go to crack burger and get addicted to that o whait ur 289 puonds u already r it was hilarios
Posted by: crazymaN at November 28, 2006 09:10 AMi never tried rip it til i came to iraq and let me tell u its saved me many times from falling asleep on guard or out on an overwatch! it definately puts me on a wild ride!!
Posted by: craig stout at December 28, 2006 10:22 AMI tried the demo at Sam's Club 2day and thought the A'tomic Pom tasted FANTASTIC!!! I ended up buying a case of it for like $19..(atomic pom, citrus x, power, and lime..4 flavors in all) thats about .79 cents a can! hell of a deal.. anyhow i love this stuff, it doesnt overdo it like a lot of the other energy drinks and it tasts like none other! I will definately be back to Sam's Club for more!!
Posted by: RushmoreSD at December 29, 2006 03:41 PMI just got home from Walgreens, looking for a decent energy boost for tomorrow morning. It turned out I only had like $1.10. I can't buy a Rockstar for that price. I saw the Rip It Power. Saw it was only $0.98, and bought it. It's in my fridge right now. Haven't tried it yet, but heard it was decent. Good luck to me!
Posted by: Andrea at March 6, 2007 10:24 PMbuy this at the Dollar Tree.
Posted by: Adam Dolph at April 7, 2007 07:28 PMI use to buy them at dollar tree. Now all they sell are the red rip its. I like the regualar & citrus diet drinks.
Posted by: kelly at April 22, 2007 05:18 AMBest energy drink hands down. Citrus x is personal favorite always has been. The atomic pom is second. Started off with the lime, don't enjoy it much now. It's funny they went up on the price to $1.09 It was expected by me for a while cause .99 was to good to be true. $1.09 is still reasonable it's just funny seeing that number on the top of the can like wtf next will they write $1.14 on the top of it lol.
Posted by: chrispy at May 31, 2007 10:39 AMYo dis sh1t is da bomb yo I get these over here in Iraq for free in these little 8 oz cans....make me jumpy as hell. I love the warning label. They taste like sh1t warm.
Posted by: russel basile yo at July 28, 2007 09:59 PMhey guys you should try FREEK, its the greatest, no bad aftertaste, goes down smooth, and has great flavor(s). ask your gas stations to stock this amazing energy drink. check out FREEK.COM for sweet gear and to see if the Freek-mobile will be in a town near you!
Posted by: Andrew at July 30, 2007 07:53 PMJust tried my fist rip it citrus x for .99 cents it taste good, but did not give me any energy. And well thats why I bought the thing. Good flavor no energy.
Posted by: JESSIE at August 25, 2007 08:13 AMI totally didn't like this energy drink. hair oh een hair oh een bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
Posted by: Scott Warner at October 2, 2007 11:05 PMlove it. worth it if you're a poor college student!
Posted by: lis at November 25, 2007 05:09 PMGot my first taste of Rip It in Iraq also. They stopped providing Red Bull and started with the little short cans of Rip It. I was hooked. Came home and looked for it. Finally found it in the Dollar Tree store and bought all they had. I like the sugar free and get quite a boost. One and a half is plenty good. (the cans here are a lot bigger than the ones I cut my teeth on in Iraq). Oh, and the little cans are easier to hide in your pockets when leaving the DFAC, I got 10 out once (you were allowed 2 to take out).
dude 99 cents here at Ramstein Germany Air Base and i am HOOKED
me and my friend buy 4 4 packs and chug a 4 pack each (2 per person) every hour on the hour.. as you can tell we're in high school haha
