24:7 sugar free

I found these at the local Walgreens today - - looking like it might be something more than the cheapo energy drink it looked like. It was there on the shelves with the other important energy drinks, like red bull and monster, so I thought that it might just be a bad can with some good liquid inside. Very unfortunately, this is just like red bull, but bigger and without the rush.

This really should have been in the buck a can category - unfortunately something awry happened at the local walgreens and they are charging full price for them. If this drink were 80 cents a can, I could see grabbing one on a whim. But charging the same amount as a red bull? Either Walgreens made a mistake, or the energy drink company is getting a big head over a crappy product.
The creators of this knock off are Prilabs Inc - also the people behind 4 other never seen before brands - all of which look very intriguing. Unfortunately, this one, as well as the entire 24:7 line doesn't.

Buzz?nutrition:3
carbon dioxide? Is that really an ingredient you need to list on the can? Well, I guess when you only ingredients are water and a run of the mill Energy drink mix, you gotta find something to fill it out. You will also get more energy from just eating an orange and a diet coke.

Packaging:3
The can looks like something leftover from the Maxrix days of 1999 - only it is blurry not on purpose. Think it has to do with the can - made of cheap flimsy pop can aluminum that does not hold color and dents easily. Did they really make this can look this way on purpose? Please either stop what you are doing and find something better to do with your time, or start asking something that can actually sell.

I can not speak enough about how much I hate websites like this. A horrid looping 2 second techno track is in the background, enough to make you throttle your closest walgreens cashier - and while, fortunately, they put a mute button on it, without the horrid single repetitive beat you can look at what a horrible boring worthless flash site this is. Did some person copy this design from an old flash site a decade ago? Really - this site is exactly what people thought was cool back in 2000 when flash was a big nifty plugin. From the design to the sounds on rollover, to the completely lack of all information ( but you could download their crappy matrix blurry digital watch number logo as a wallpaper ooo), stay faaar away from this one.
