From the company that brought you vitamin water, comes an energy drink that is pretty awesome. This isn't really a healthy fruit energy drink with < 1% juice, 100 calories and 25 g of sugar, OK so I guess they aren't really going for the healthy energy drink market. Just based on the company and the advertising I had assumed that, once you get over that and realize how good the drink is you forgive them pretty quickly.
Seriously I like VitaminEnergy, this is the last flavor they currently have released. This is Vitamin Energy Tropical Citrus, which ends up as #2, my favorite of the 3 was vitaminwater dragonfruit with my least favorite being vitaminenergy fruit punch. Don't get me wrong all three were good, but if I had to rank them, it would definitely be in that order.
I like the crisp, smooth, and lightly carbonated twist that vitamin energy gives their energy drinks. This drink tastes exactly like the name like pineapple juice blended with lemon-lime flavor, very refreshing and crisp. The can also while very simple, ipod clean, and kind of boring looking is one of the funniest energy drink cans I have ever read. Know how tons of energy drinks have the warning not for pregnant women or people sensitive to caffeine? This drink has that and "recommended for people who have children, those trying to get pregnant or people in search of natural energy." The can also includes such genius as,
Evolution is a good thing, right? just think, if you didn't change, you'd still be rocking your calculator watch, sporting your fifth grade mullet, and using expressions like "gag me with a spoon."
I haven't had as many pineapple flavored energy drinks, it seem there have been a few more recently but I won't complain about the growing trend. So this is a nice tropical tasting drink, if you want something that doesn't taste as syrupy as some of the other drinks, then this drink might be of interest to you, if your not a tropical or pineapple fan I guess you can skip this one. Gives you a good buzz, but nothing that is out of the ordinary for energy drinks, and doesn't have to bad of an energy crash.

I had a can of this stuff, and it gave me horrible diarrhea. There's something in this stuff that is just bad for your digestive tract.
Posted by: Eric Cartman at October 4, 2007 09:04 AMI've had a bunch of cans of VitaminEnergy Tropical Citrus and have NOT had any intestinal issues; my stools have been completely normal, no diarrhea, and absolutely not associated with consumption of VitaminEnergy. I'm not sure what's wrong with your colon, Eric Cartman, but perhaps you should see a physician, it could be Crohn's, GERD, or worms, not VitaminEnergy.
Posted by: Hilary Lake at October 10, 2007 08:19 PMThis stuff definitely isn't good for your digestive tract. Had 2 cans last night and woke up this morning and was pale with the chills and some major diarrhea.

Posted by: Johnny at November 18, 2007 09:10 AMVitaminEngergy's great stuff. No problems here. I wouldn't recommend having two cans of ANY energy drink, not even this one (I've never tried it) but to me it's great and wears off without a major drop in energy like sugar does. Unfortunately, I can't find it ANYWHERE except for one Shell station and Glaceau couldn't give me any idea where to find it, no solid buyers yet (this was months ago). Soda usually gives me a stomach ache (Coke, Pepsi, etc.) but this totally doesn't. I'm into taking caffeine pills and this stuff is even better, no jittery feeling.
Posted by: Diana at December 5, 2007 03:15 AMThe diarrhea is caused by the over consumption of energy drinks without food in your stomach. If you drank 3 cans of this stuff on an empty stomach, go hit the MCD drive through or find a restroom rather quickly.
The stimulants in viraminenergy are strong enough to stimulate enerything including your digestion, have food first.
Posted by: Justin at January 22, 2008 10:55 AMOne day I had a single can of this, did not have an empty stomach, and still got diarrhea. I did not know what caused the diarreah and just assumed it was something I ate for breakfast. I did the same thing the next day except tried different food. Once again, after drinking the VitaminEnergy, I got diarrhea. I also had a friend who tried this, and she also got diarrhea.
Posted by: Brett at March 24, 2008 10:50 PMthis stuff on three differant tries after eatting full meals gave me the worst shits I've ever had in my life, I thought it was a fluke the first time then drank this shit and hate my life right now fuck this drink i hope it gets pulled off the market
Posted by: Oden at April 9, 2008 08:09 PMI tried this drink today for the first time. I like the taste, etc but it also gave me pretty bad diarrhea. Probably wont drink it again.
Posted by: Austin at April 13, 2008 07:43 PMDude this drink sucks. I also tried the Dragonfruit one, and I loved the drink, but I had the runs for like 3 hours and had to leave work. How embarassing. I'll never touch this stuff again.
Posted by: Scott at April 16, 2008 01:22 PMIt's funny, I thought that it was just me. I love the Dragonfruit flavor, but man oh man does it give me the runs. Kind of crazy. I mean, it's kind of nice to start the day off with one and have it clean you out. LOL. I usually have a nice BM in the morning this drink just makes me have it a little... faster. :)
Posted by: Kevin at April 29, 2008 11:26 AMGlad to know it wasn't just me. The only two times I have had this drink it upset my lower GI in a big way. I have tried a lot of energy drinks and VitaminEnergy is the only one that I have reacted to this way. It's sad, 'cause they taste great.
Posted by: Jacob at May 1, 2008 01:29 PMgives you diarrhea for sure. our new name for this stuff is vitamin Laxative. if you enjoy diarrhea, and want be up all night crapping yourself, drink one down and get ready for a bowl spattering good time... diarrhea has never tasted so good.
