<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Star Wars<\/em> is one of the highest grossing and beloved film franchises of all time. While the actual movies are the biggest draw for most fans, the amount of merchandise and branded junk food that have come from the series is unreal. <\/p>\n Star Wars<\/em> collaborated hard with the fast food industry, creating toys and limited items with Burger King, McDonald\u2019s, KFC, and Taco Bell. They\u2019ve had their own boxes and shapes of Cheez-Its, Pop Chips, and Doritos. They\u2019ve even made their own breakfast cereal and chocolates, and now, ahead of the release of The Last Jedi<\/em>, they wanna quench your thirst too.<\/p>\n When I stumbled across Space Punch in the grocery store, I was shocked it wasn\u2019t an energy drink. The shape, style, and placement of the cans immediately screamed Red Bull. But upon closer inspection they proudly sport \u201ccaffeine free\u201d above the nutritional information, and low sugar to boot.<\/p>\n The punch comes in twenty different character-specific cans, and choosing one is a feat. Channeling my inner-assassin I had to go with Boba Fett, even though the golden C-3PO looked real fresh.<\/p>\n Rather than get you artificially boosted and bouncin\u2019 off the walls like Yoda in a deep training session, Space Punch aims to nourish you from within with a sparkling mix of vitamins and hydration to achieve ultimate Jedi zen.<\/p>\n So what the hell does punch in space taste like? According to the ingredients, it should taste like blackberry, blueberry, carrot, grapefruit, orange, pear, and raspberry. Wow. That is quite the combo \u2013 my brain is spinning and about to explode like the Death Star on a bad day.<\/p>\n As much as I love the juice concentrates listed, I\u2019m not a big fan of this drink. It has nice light effervescence to it, reminiscent of many energy drinks, but the taste is artificially sweet and akin to liquefied chewable vitamins. The aroma even makes me wonder if I\u2019ve stuck my nose straight into a bottle of Flintstones’ finest.<\/p>\n The blackberry and raspberry notes are surprisingly more dominant than the citrus. But the most prominent taste is that of the primary sweeteners erythritol and stevia. There\u2019s a sharp and unpleasant fake aftertaste that washes out any of the more subtle and nuanced clean flavors of the actual fruit juice, and the blending of the two is not something I want to drink more of.<\/p>\n For what it lacks in taste, it doesn\u2019t deliver that much of a vitamin boost either. It has 40-50 percent of your daily recommended Vitamin B6 and B12, and that\u2019s pretty much it. While it\u2019s a fun idea for collectors and might be appealing to people who enjoy Vitamin Water Zero, I would much rather pop a vitamin with a glass of water, and leave this to fizzle out in a galaxy far, far away.<\/p>\n (Nutrition Facts – 1 can \u2013 20 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 0 milligrams of sodium, 16 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 3 grams of sugar, and 0 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/b> $2.99 Star Wars is one of the highest grossing and beloved film franchises of all time.
