QUICK REVIEW: Rockstar Pure Zero Lemonade Energy Drink

Rockstar Pure Zero Lemonade Energy Drink

Rockstar Pure Zero Lemonade Energy Drink is something I’d imagine one would get from a first time lemonade stand owner who’s also using it as a front to distribute cocaine.

I assume when you have a beginner’s lemonade stand/cocaine counter, the two products have to mix. So it has the flavor of mediocre lemonade, but also the ability to make your heart beat like it’s coming out of your chest.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Rockstar Pure Zero line, it consists of energy drinks that have zero calories and zero grams of sugar. Another number I’ve noticed with recent additions to the Pure Zero line is 240, as in 240 milligrams of caffeine per can. The most recent Pure Zero flavors, this beverage and last year’s Pure Zero Watermelon, have that higher amount, which is 50 percent more than the usual 160 milligrams found in most other Rockstar products.

So if you’re looking for a big jolt of energy during the day because you spent all night looking for Pokémon, this beverage in a Pikachu-colored can will definitely help.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this review, Rockstar Pure Zero Lemonade has an average flavor. It’s not horrible by any means, but I wish the lemon had a bit more punch. According to the can, it contains 2 percent juice that comes from lemon juice concentrate, but it seems that wasn’t enough for me. Also, because the lemon flavor isn’t very bold, the artificial sweeteners stand out a bit more than with other Pure Zero flavors.

Again, it’s an okay flavor, but it’s my least favorite of the Rockstar Pure Zero line.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Taco Bell Cheetos Burrito

Taco Bell Cheetos Burrito

Taco Bell is testing a one dollar burrito with Cheetos inside it.

Impulsive Buy reader Craig took the photo above at a Taco Bell location in Fairfield, Ohio. He did give it a try and said, “The Cheetos were chewy and thus, seemed stale. Don’t know if they actually were, or if that was just an effect of whatever cooking/heating process they went through.”

According to Brand Eating, the burrito is stuffed with rice, sour cream, seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, and Crunchy Cheetos. Brand Eating also says the rice is made with a new recipe that’s meant to be a little more buttery.
