Rating: 5 out of 10
Crunk's original energy drink decided to go a unique route compared to most energy companies, using pomegranate as it's flagship flavor. If your watching your figure they also have a sugar free version
First sip Crunk is very tart and the pomegranate overpowers any medicinal after taste. A small problem here is that pomegranate is not a flavor I fancy. It's a cross between watered down Gatorade and old apple juice. It's not refreshing and it's very hard for me to finish a 16 fl oz can. Maybe if they converted to a resealable can I would be more satisfied.
With its extensive ingredient make up I expected an extraordinary kick to go along with its brand names' definition. The dose of Ashwaganda and Horny goat weed is probably not gonna be enough to be very effective, but the 200 mgs of caffeine is a different story. This much caffeine will get any couch potato off their ass and on the assembly line or even better, back in school.
Bottom Line- Crunk!!! Original is an average energy drink which I gave a 5 out of 10. You got to understand Crunk misses my palet completely with their flavor choices. If you like pomegranate this may be right up your alley. It's a competitively priced product and stands out with its IN YOUR FACE CRUNK!!! graphic. It probably would also mix well with certain alcohol, though I didn't test this theory out. At least this drink will get you crunked up if consumed in full. And NO I will not make a LIL Jon quote to cap it off.
