EASE
IN ACQUISITION—3
You
can find it with all other True Colors products at Big Lots. Given my experience with them, they’ll
be there a while, discontinuation aside.
APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—5
I
slammed the packaging on True Colors for looking as though no thought went into
it. I was okay with True
Colors—Orange-Tangerine’s look (mostly because of the orange/black color
combination), and I actually had some praise for True Colors—Sugar Free’s
(probably unintentional) success with making sparse color use and aluminum
exposure work well together. And
now, I offer my criticism of True Colors—Fruit Punch for being the embodiment
of the one thing that is consistently wrong with all of the above: it looks
like something based on a design theory that died with the 70’s. Look at the repeating dots/bubbles—do
they not remind you of the patterns of flashing lights on the computers of 70’s
movies and television programs? Is
the color not such a shade of red that it would have been described as “funky”
when that word was a good thing?
Is that quality of the shade of red not intensified in combination with
the black background? Am I
nitpicking? Perhaps, but such is
my evaluation.
TASTE—5
The
taste of this drink is the archetypal
cheap fruit punch energy drink taste—it’s overly sweet and gummy, it’s
unconvincingly fruity, it’s bitter.
Even if you like the taste of
cheap fruit punch, chances are you’ll find the taste disagreeable.
KICK
(INTENSITY) —6
Average
in terms of True Colors performance, below average in terms of general energy
drink performance. Enough to ease
the difficulty of concentrating on renal histology in class, but not nearly
enough to make one feel actually awake.
KICK
(DURATION) —6
This
(and any other True Colors product) is best employed as an early-morning drink,
if it is to be employed at all. It
will provide a pick-me-up to last until an early lunch hour, and from there you’re
on your own.
THE
DRINK OVERALL—5.67
Honestly,
True Colors—Fruit Punch generally sucks.
It is outstripped in just about every area by other drinks, some of
which do not perform so well in certain areas themselves. The True Colors line is gone for good, and
I for one won’t be missing it.
