EASE
IN ACQUISITION—10
It’s
the Wal-Mart brand, so unless you live in, say, West Yellowstone, Montana, you
should be golden.
APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—5
Great
Value Energy doesn’t look all that great—but who cares? People that go for this sort of thing
are going to look for the word “Energy” on the box, and then their eyes will go
right down to the price tag—which will ultimately determine whether they will
buy it or not. So is it
aesthetically appealing? No. Does it matter? No.
TASTE—8
In
contrast to the other Great Value energy mixes, this one is exceptionally
finicky. Too much water and you
wind up with something like bland Gatorade, devoid of any real nuance of
flavor. Too little, and it’s
foul—bitter and pungent and overwhelming (don’t even think about mixing in two
packets at once). Get it just
right, though, and it is, in fact, very good—you can actually discern the
flavors of both the blueberry and the açaí, something that you rarely get with
either flavor, and what’s more, Wal-Mart actually nails them pretty good. My advice: fill up a mason jar most of
the way with water, mix it in, add six ice cubes. Add more water if there’s room left in the jar. It’s taken me almost all ten packets to
figure that out, but now that I’ve nailed it, I’m happy to pass on the
knowledge.
KICK
(INTENSITY)—7
This’ll
give you an average boost without too many jitters—fairly run-of-the-mill
stuff.
KICK
(DURATION)—7
Three
hours.
THE
DRINK OVERALL—7.33
Even
though the kick’s nothing worth getting enthused about (can you tell that’s how
I feel about it?) it tastes pretty good as long as you can get the quantity of
water right, and I suspect it will do for about 99% of the general
caffeine-consuming population.
