General Thoughts

I love the owner, Derek (MPMD), and generally respect the brand. They do have a questionable history with ridiculously high pricing and the Turkesterone controversy, but I wouldn't expect them to have particularly lower quality products just because they're not backed by a massive corporation. Just be aware this brand is smaller and more niche.

Price

These tend to be $2-3 per drink, but frequently go on sale (especially at GNC's and Vitamin Shoppe's). 7.25/10

Effectiveness

Pretty solid, about the same as Ghost. I'm not gonna pretend to understand the science, but the consensus seems to be their ingredients are quite effective comparatively speaking. 9/10.

Nutrition

These pop in at 5-15 calories per drink, with solid ingredients and erythritol sweetner. I sometimes find them a bit acidic, which isn't the best f. They use sucralose, which is fine. 8.5/10.

Flavors

Black Cherry Vanilla




  • Flavor: I came into this with low expectations, because I'm not a particularly big fan of Cherry Vanilla Coke, and I didn't know this brand very well. It blew me out of the park. Best energy drink I've had in a long time. 9/10.
  • Overall: 8.5

Tigers Blood




  • Flavor: This blew me out of the water even more! I honestly still don't know exactly what the flavor was, but it was fantastic. It was like Black Cherry Vanilla, minus the Vanilla? 9.25/10
  • Overall: 8.5

Lucky Lemon




  • Flavor: I'm quite lucky, because I didn't realize this was a Vitamin Shoppe exclusive flavor when I got it. This is pretty run of the mill - not my favorite, but no complaints. It's more of a sour lemon than a sweet one. 8.25/10.
  • Overall:  8
