Recoil came to us and is marketed as "an integral part of the Samantha Lyle Fitness Plan." We were unfamiliar with Samantha Lyle and, according to her website, she lost a bunch of weight and provides a program that allows you to continue to enjoy eating while losing/maintaining weight.

The 8.4 oz. can is wrapped in a label that features the company logo, four gold military stars and the sexy legs of a woman dressed in camouflage, military boots, holding a rifle. We did not get the connection between the military-esque imagery and Samantha Lyle, but it was cool all the same.

We found the flavor to be similar to many low-calorie/sugar-free energy drinks. However, the sweetness quotient was higher in Recoil with little to no aftertaste. Both were a nice surprise.

The jump in energy was quite pronounced. The women in our group were impressed with the boost in energy they felt coming from 8.4 oz. of energy drink. Even the men in our group commented on the blast of energy they received.
