Bawls Review


Hands down, this energy drink comes in the best package, EVER. You can grip and sip this anywhere knowing that you will not drop the bottle. The studs provide much needed traction when doing an intense instance, ensuring a strong bond between you and your caffeine source. Once consumed, the bottle can be used as decoration or turned into a light source with a few LEDs. Bawls is not a very expensive drink, but it costs a lot for the amount of caffeine you get out of it. More on that later, but now, the taste.

Now, in case you are wondering what the color of Bawls is, here is a photo.


It is pale yellow/beige/off-white/eggshell kind of combo. I am not good with colors, but if you can name it, let me know. It tastes a lot like watered down, and sweetened Sprite/7-UP combo. I like the taste, but I don't think I can drink more than 1 bottle per sitting as it is very sweet. The aftertaste is similar to the Sprite one - sweet at first, but then pretty clean. I wish there was some more citric acid in this. I think the extra bite would help the taste.

The label on the front says " High Caffeine Guarana Beverage", but this does not contain much caffeine. Energyfiend.com list the caffeine content at 6.67 mg/1 fl oz. That means a bottle of Bawls contains 66.7 mg of caffeine. That is even less than the energy drinks that come in 250 mL cans. This is just enough to give you a late night boost, which makes it perfect for gaming.

Scores:
Cost - $2.49 CAD from Mac's
Taste - 7.5/10
Energy - 6.0/10

Overall - 14.5/20...OK, I had to give it +1 for the awesome bottle
