One
of the few things that excites me less than the prospect of another Wired Red
Bull clone is the prospect of another one of Wired’s miscellaneous energy
drinks—drinks toting (more or less) the same energy blend as the original, just
with a different (and typically lackluster) flavor.
Wired
X Passion Fruit falls into the latter category—even though there exist
different ingredients in the proprietary blend, most of these have little to do
with energy (ex: aloe vera extract and calcium), so in the end, the result is
the same—at least as far as I’m concerned. On the plus side, part of proceeds I put forward to buy this
drink were donated towards breast cancer research—so I can at least feel good
about that.

EASE
IN ACQUISITION—3
This
is not one of your more common Wired beverages—one can go for months at a time
without a single sighting, then have it pop up at some obscure location. It can
be found…it just requires patience.
APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—7
This
is obviously a female-oriented drink—calcium in the drink, donating portions of
proceeds to breast cancer research, and then the packaging…which looks kind of
what I imagine hell would look like if the devil were a woman. Interesting concept, but not one that
makes me think “energy.”
TASTE—6
As
is spelled out on the can, this is a passion fruit flavored drink. It tastes alright, I suppose, but there
are far better passion fruit flavored energy drinks out there—enough that I
can’t really bring myself to care at all about Wired’s take on it.
KICK
(INTENSITY)—7
Average—enough
to wake you up, but not enough to make an impression.
KICK
(DURATION)—7
Two
and a half hours or so. No crash.
THE
DRINK OVERALL—6.67
