C4 Energy Drinks: Berry Power Bomb and Ruthless Raspberry

Today, Kevin and I are sampling C4 Energy drinks. We'll be trying two flavors: Berry Power Bomb and Ruthless Raspberry. Priced at $3.79 each at Circle K, one of these flavors is exclusive to Circle K, likely the red one. The drinks come in WWE-themed cans, though we don't follow wrestling ourselves.

Berry Power Bomb

• Flavor Profile: Cranberry and lemonade
• Nutritional Info: Zero sugar, zero synthetic dye, 300 mg of caffeine
• Marketing: C4 Ultimate Energy is described as "supercharged to go hard just like you," with the slogan "Buckle up for the ultimate energy."

The Berry Power Bomb combines tangy cranberry with sweet lemonade, promising a legendary taste experience. Despite expectations of tartness from cranberry and lemonade, the drink is surprisingly sweet, resembling bubblegum flavor. It’s not overly tart and has a pleasant berry sweetness.

Ruthless Raspberry

• Flavor Profile: Sweet berry and tart raspberry
• Nutritional Info: 10 calories, zero sugar
• Marketing: Advertised as a "flavor smackdown," it balances sweet berry notes with a tart raspberry finish.

Ruthless Raspberry offers a bold and sweet flavor, reminiscent of a melted blue raspberry Jolly Rancher or the blue part of a Bomb Pop. It's intensely sweet, akin to heavy syrup, and has a strong raspberry taste.

Verdict

Kevin prefers the Berry Power Bomb due to its berry flavor, while I favor the Ruthless Raspberry for its bold, sweet taste. Both drinks are enjoyable and packed with flavor, making them excellent choices for a caffeine boost.
