EASE
IN ACQUISITION—7
Not
as common as most PowerBar products, but still not difficult to find by any
means.
APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—7
Aesthetically,
this isn’t anything special, though functionally, I suppose I have to admit
it’s nifty. It’s compact, easy to
open, down and discard as inclined.
What more is there to say?
TASTE—2
…ICK!
I
don’t know what else to say. This stuff
is really bad. Upon first tasting
it, you might not think so—sure, the pseudo-sweetness of the glucose and the
saltiness of the salt are a bit strange together, but almost something that
could be gotten used to. Bad news,
however, is that you don’t. The
combination just gets worse and worse until you’re gagging the salty sickly
syrupy mess down. The flavors
don’t do any favors here, either; they just kind of emphasize whole
aforementioned experience.
I’ve
liked PowerBar’s stuff in the past, but flavorwise this is a flop. I’d just as soon they caffeinate one of
their bars and get my energy/electrolytes that way.
KICK
(INTENSITY)—4
If
this didn’t work to some extent, I’d just write it off altogether. Bad as it tastes, though, it works
alright. No, I didn’t feel much of
a buzz per se—but I did feel rejuvenated and refreshed. Enough, yes, that I didn’t feel so
scandalized by the flavor.
KICK
(DURATION)—4
Felt
refreshed for about an hour or so, after which I was quite ready for bed…if it
weren’t for the continued need study for my stupid calculus test.
THE
PRODUCT OVERALL—3.33
Yes,
it tastes pretty bad, but no, I cannot in good conscience enjoin absolute
abstinence from it. It works well
enough that it would be worth trying during a workout at least once, then
deciding from there if it’s worth it or not. As for myself…I’ll be keeping an eye open for the other
flavors. You’ll know pretty quick
if I find one that tastes good.
