Good night

I'm seeing more and more of these on the market. Usually only about 1 out of every 4 works for me and its usually the disgusting ones.

Taste- An amazing refreshing taste that's perfect for bedtime! It doesn't have a marked flavor but it has cactus fig flavor as the last ingredient. I'm pretty sure that's what I'm tasting here is cactus fruit even though Ive only had it once, but they captured it in this can. I like how it has a nice light but sweet taste to it.

RATING-9/10

Buzz- Well I gave it 30 minuets to kick in and I'm pretty much ready to hit the hay but then again its 2 am. This drinks contains Valerian (not tastable so therefor its not enough to work) rose hip and lavender. Some people put lavender seeds and flowers in their pillows to help relax them but its more the smell than ingesting it that aids to relaxing.

Goodnight...

Sleepy head

I was already falling asleep on the train ride home from Chicago when we had to drive an hour back to Rockford from Harvard. But I wanted to have some fun so i drank this in the car and tried to see how long I could fight it. (Don't worry I was not driving.)

Taste- Ill quote my friends. Tyler; "What is this concoction of putrid filth?" Cat; "Tastes like piss and coffee" Jacob; "owiehcwecpm". And I agree with cat it was disgusting! But that was from the valarian root which smells like dirty socks but works like magic. So even a little can make it taste like your drinking piss. I had to plus my nose to get the 4 ounces down.

RATING-1/10

Sluzz- Yeah I couldnt stay up long after but I was tired as hell either way. I was a zombie walking into the house and I just said fuck it and passed out on the couch. This drink contains 278 mgs valarian, GABA and melatonin. Ive mentioned valarian and GABA to you guys before but melatonin can come from animals, plants or microbes. It comes natural in all of us mammals and is considered the hormone of darkness. It can cure basically about everything imaginable that you wouldnt want to have. Including insomnia. There isnt enough valarian or GABA to be effective but even 8 mgs of melatonin can help. Im not sure how much of just that is in here but it worked for me I guess.

Marleys mellow mood

This drink makes me sad. I learned a great lesson the other day, don't cheat! My ex girlfriend loved bob Marley and I was I could have gotten this for her. But yeah if you don't want your life to fall apart then don't cheat on the ones you love. That's the best information you will get from the energy drink guru.

Taste- I want to describe it as a fuzzy berry taste. Its made with cane sugar which is what gives it the fuzzy taste. It tastes a bit sugar free and just boring and you cant really tell that your tasting a berry drink.

RATING-5.5/10

Buzz- I actually drank this an hour and a half before bed and was so tired I couldn't even do the review till next morning. Ill start off with the ingredients we have all heard before. Valerian root, lemon balm, chamomile flower and passion flower. Also we have kava kava which is a pacific plant that is taken to help you relax without disrupting mental clarity. Although it is said it can be dangerous if over taken, but what if you smoked it?!? And besides that we have hops which we all know is in beer and beer is a nice depressant that calms you down. so with all those ingredients it adds up to 211.5 mgs. That's an okay amount but you cant ask for much with these few and rare calming drinks. But hey it did work!

Solixir:relax

There is nothing quit like the feeling of total relaxation. Which for me is laying on my couch with some leonard cohen playing and a nice cold relaxation drink in my hand.

Taste-Not as bad as the other. There is actually taste in this one, like white grape and blackberry. But still very very bad. Only 50 calories though.

RATING-2.5/10

Sluzz-passion flower, hibiscus, jujube and lemon balm. But no valarian?

Purple stuff:classic grape

I just love the idea of functional drinks, I just want to see more than just energy and relaxation. I'm not talking about vitamin water I'm talking about soda flavored drinks in cans!

Taste-All these flavors have been very light with just a little flavor. This one you get some artificial grape right in the middle for about half a second and then it disappears. That is if you can even taste it at all. Other wise its an ok sugary drink. Don't get me wrong its not bad tasting its not not as good as the other two so I give it a...

RATING-6.5/10

Buzz-None of these drinks have been purple, so why call it purple stuff? Theanine has been proven to reduce stress and lower heart rate. 10 mgs valarian root and rosehips. 5 mgs l-theanine. 20 mgs niacin. 10 mgs pantothenic acid. 6 mgs vit B12 and 2 mgs vit B6.

Purple stuff:berry calming

I always wanted to drink a energy drink late at night but never did because it would keep me up. But now I can have the delicious soda flavor of energy drinks without worrying about staying up.

Taste-Strange is what I'm going to say first the only taste I could compare it to would be a sweet wine. Its not that great but it is new. I don't see much flavor behind that wine taste besides sugar, defiantly no berry's. I'm just going to have to go with a seven.

RATING-7/10

Buzz-5 mgs l-theanine. 10 mgs rosehip and valarian root. This is what I dont get, B vitamins supposed to help you relax? 20 mgs niacin. 2 mgs vit.B6. 6 mgs vit.B12 and 10 mgs pantothenic acid.

Purple stuff:classic lemon lime

Do we have a drank copy cat on our hands? It looks like drank started a trend. This is a cool can tho with the name and the slogans and the fake little reviews on the side of the can.

Taste-A perfect lemon lime, don't see how it can get any better. To bad they use crystalline fructose tho.

RATING-8.5/10

Buzz-Last time I reviewed drank I reviewed it before it effected me and I wish I would have given it a better review for buzz or in this case sluzz so I will wait for this. Any way it has 10 mgs rosehip powder and valerian root. 5 mgs l-theamine. 10 mgs pantothenic acid. 2 mgs vit.B6 and 20 mgs niacin. Compared to drank these have l-theamine instead of melanomin other wise its the same. Well I have waited a half an hour and I feel the same maybe a bit drowsy and sleepy but it didn't make me always crash right on the floor like drank did. Anyways these drinks both need more ingredients and amounts because I know for a fact that 10 mgs of valarian root and rosehips isn't going to do anything. So maybe its just all in your head.

Drank

Tonight I got something different for you guys,its the complete opposite of an energy drink.I love the idea but it seems its not going to work.First off its another carbonated sugary drink which will defiantly make you hyper (at least for a little bit) and then its got b vitamins,why? I don't know.And lastly its got some nice ingredients for the blend but barely any of them.

Taste-A very nice refreshing berry lime citrus flavor.I would think instead of doing a sugary carbonated drink why not a relaxing tea flavor or something.

RATING-8/10

Buzz-Well it might get me tired from the crash of the sugar but thats about it.20 mgs vit.B6.2 mgs vit.B6.6 mgs vit.B12.10 mgs vit.B5.10 mgs valerian root,now with valerian root you need at least 200 mgs for it to even work(I take it a lot since i cant sleep cuz of nrg drinks lol)10 mgs rose hips,same with this 10 is not going to work. and 1 mgs melatonin,now I dont know what that is but I'm pretty shure 1 mg isn't going to cut it.So points for something bright and new but that does not work.
