\"Sonic<\/p>\n

What is Sonic’s Red Bull Summer Edition Watermelon Slush?<\/h3>\n

Can I interest you in a frozen watermelon flavored Red Bull?<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

It’s cool, it’s refreshing, and it hits the spot. That’s not to say it delivers on the whole “energy drink” aspect of it all.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed Summer Edition Watermelon Red Bull when I reviewed it<\/a> because it actually amped me up. The watermelon flavor was a little on the sour and unripe side, but there was no mistaking it was a Red Bull.<\/p>\n

It’s pretty much the opposite here. This tastes like a slightly watered-down Watermelon Slush Puppy, all the way down to the consistency of the ice.<\/p>\n

Without knowing it was a Red Bull based drink, you’d probably barely notice. Without carbonation, you lose that “jolt” of a typical Red Bull, and the ice and watermelon mask that unmistakable flavor.<\/p>\n

Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

\"Sonic<\/p>\n

I’ve always preferred Slurpees to Slush Puppy style frozen drinks. I like the very fine ice mush as opposed to the course little pebbles of ice you get from a Slush Puppy machine. For some reason, one big sip is an instant brain freeze. I can feel the little ice shards scraping against the roof of my mouth and it instantly sets off that pain alarm in my cranium. Gulpers beware!<\/p>\n

Sonic didn’t seem to offer this in a small, which would have been my preferred size.<\/p>\n

Also, Sonic, I think it’s time to get a grip on using Styrofoam cups, no? Sure, plastic isn’t exactly MUCH better, but at least I can pretend that won’t be laying in a landfill for the rest of my life. But I digress…<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

It may be a strange summer, but this is worth a buy if you want a quick burst of cool refreshment. It’s sweeter than the Red Bull it mimics, but you won’t get a headache from all the sugar \u2013 you’ll get it from the ice.<\/p>\n
