Energy drinks and cola are probably my two favorite things to drink. Though both are also instrumental in my multiple cavities and root canals, I still continue to ignore this fact. When my girlfriend brought Rockstar Energy Cola home I was very intrigued and impressed...with the can.

This can is unique utilizing a rare look with black matte wrapping its circumference and capping it off with a black gloss lid that makes it look very sleek. It stands alone in its appearance and shock value, this WILL grab your attention.

Unfortunately for $2.73 in this economy I'm gonna need a little more then a sexy can to drool over to get my money. At first sip its not half bad, medium carbonation, tasted along the lines of RC (A flavor that has not won me over). Then the after taste kicks in, and I'm sure this is the "energy" part which was nasty and only gets worse as the drink gets warmer. If your determined to finish something you invested in I recommend throwing some ice cubes in a glass because this is dirt nasty if it goes lukewarm.

Since I suffered through the after taste I was begging for a good energy kick. I was teased a little bit by the caffeine when I picked up some weights and felt proactive for a whopping 30 minutes. Piss poor kick and it did nothing but remind me why I stopped drinking Rockstar in the first place.

Bottom Line- I've heard Red Bull Cola is horrible as well so I'm gonna take it as a fact mixing energy formula's with cola's is a bad idea. I gave Rockstar Energy Cola a 5 out 10 for the sole reason of the can's graphics. I want to make sure that guy or gal keeps his job.

Rockstar Energy Cola of course can be found nationwide at any local convenience store.
