Today, Kevin and I are trying Just Work Energy Drinks with an icy theme. We have the Cherry Icy and the Blue Raspberry flavors, each costing $2.50 at Five Below. These drinks were somewhat hidden in the store, so we likely missed other interesting items as we usually stick to the food and toy sections.
Each 12 oz can contains 200 milligrams of caffeine, zero sugar, and zero calories. They are designed for energy, endurance, and focus. The cans clearly state: "Consume responsibly. Not recommended for children, people sensitive to caffeine, pregnant women, or nursing mothers. Daily caffeine consumption should be limited to approximately 400 milligrams."
Both drinks are manufactured in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
**Cherry Icy Review**
The Cherry Icy has a vibrant color and is lightly carbonated. The cherry aroma is strong, even from a distance. The flavor is reminiscent of concentrated cherry syrup, similar to the Jelly Belly brand syrups. It’s very strong, almost as if the water typically mixed in an icy was omitted, leaving a pure, syrupy taste. Despite the intensity, I enjoyed the robust flavor. It's sweet, calorie-free, and lacks any aftertaste from the energy components. If you prefer a potent cherry flavor, this drink is ideal.
**Blue Raspberry Review**
The Blue Raspberry flavor is just as intense, featuring a bright blue color that evokes a futuristic drink from a sci-fi movie. The flavor is reminiscent of blue freeze pops, but significantly stronger and sweeter. I wondered if freezing the drink might make a delightful treat. The flavor is very concentrated, making it perfect for those who love a strong, sweet taste.
**Overall Impressions**
Both drinks are exceptionally strong in flavor, which might not be suitable for everyone. I prefer the Cherry Icy, but the Blue Raspberry is also a solid choice. While they might be too intense for some, fans of bold, candy-like flavors will likely appreciate them.
These Just Work Energy Drinks are a first for me, and I’m curious about their availability and other potential flavors like cotton candy, lime, or orange. I'll definitely try more from this brand if I find them.
