Playing video games and writing have similarities. <\/p>\n
Both involve a deep focus while staring into a screen and mashing multiple buttons in quick succession. Gaming and writing also include throwing across the room in frustration the thing that has the buttons.<\/p>\n
Wait\u2026that’s only me?<\/p>\n
Last year, Mountain Dew rolled out Mtn Dew Amp Game Fuel<\/a> to help gamers with alertness and accuracy. This year, the brand is offering Mtn Dew Amp Game Fuel Zero, a zero sugar, zero calorie, and zero carb version of the caffeinated drink. I\u2019m not a gamer, but I am a writer, and since I made the argument they\u2019re alike and I love caffeine, I believe I’m qualified to review them.<\/p>\n There are two flavors, Watermelon and Raspberry Lemonade, and both come in cans with the same resealable tab as the original Mtn Dew Amp Game Fuel. Sorry, I\u2019ve just been told I\u2019m legally required to use their full names \u2014 Charged Watermelon Shock and Charged Raspberry Lemonade.<\/p>\n If you’re going to choose just one, might I suggest the latter over the former, unless you REALLY love artificial watermelon flavor. I mean, it\u2019s a perfectly fine flavor, it\u2019s not as sweet as candy, and it smells better than Charged Raspberry Lemonade, but it\u2019s not the flavor I\u2019d drink again. <\/p>\n That honor goes to, obviously since it\u2019s the only other flavor I\u2019m writing about in this review, Charged Raspberry Lemonade. Although, for some reason, my taste buds and brain occasionally think they\u2019re drinking a raspberry iced tea. Maybe it\u2019s because the berry flavor reminds me of the Lipton Brisk Raspberry and the lemon flavor, which doesn\u2019t really pop that much, makes me think of lemon iced tea. Well, whatever it tastes like – raspberry lemonade or raspberry iced tea – I prefer it over the watermelon one. <\/p>\n In order to make this zero sugar, zero calorie, and zero carb version, an artificial sweetener arsenal of sucralose, aspartame, and acesulfame potassium is used. It\u2019s noticeable in the watermelon one, but significantly less so with the other one. <\/p>\n Both flavors provide 90 milligrams of sweet caffeine, which isn’t a lot in today’s world that has energy drinks of the same size that offer over 200 milligrams. But I found myself getting a boost from them. Your results may vary. <\/p>\n Both Mtn Dew Amp Game Fuel Zero flavors are decent zero sugar energy drinks, but, unlike gaming and writing, it\u2019s hard to equally compare them with the recent zero sugar energy drinks from Monster<\/a> and Rockstar<\/a>. Those tickle my taste buds with better flavors that don’t really taste like they’re sugar free, plus they have more caffeine.<\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/strong> $1.79 each Playing video games and writing have similarities.
