WOW - Bing Black Cherry Energy Juice - if you see it, ingest immediately

I admit it -  I am a big fan of Bing, and fortunately live in Colorado, so picking up a case of this delicious nectar is pretty easy. For those of you who don't, you can buy them online here - and don't worry - going through a case of these is a little too easy.   This drink is a sure winner, with their combination of Acai Berries and cherries.  This tasted very much like cherry juice, except little aftertaste and lower sugar that most juiced energy drinks out there. It only has 40 calories, and is sweetened with cane sugar.  Also has flax seed and some other fun minerals which help detox the body. I find myself easily drinking a couple of these a day if I am not paying attention. I have heard they are trying to push this brand out of state, and I hope they make it, because here is drink that is very unique and very tasty, and if treated right could storm the country.

Buzz/nutrition:10
Great kick, and very little sluggishness after. The caffeine is at  a substantial 120mg, as well as 1000 milligrams of taurine.  If you are not careful you could drink WAY to much caffeine from them and be bouncing around at 2AM(which I have been known to do). They also added flax and acai, so it tastes very juicy even though it only has, surprisingly,  5% juice. It contains the usual B and C vitamin mix  I have come to expect.  The Bing Cherries, Flax and Acai are also antioxidants.  There is really nothing they can do to improve on their drink that is so loaded with good things for you while being so low in calories.

Taste: 10
I Can't get over the taste. If you like cherries, this is the drink.  More than any other energy drink, and I have had dozens with the fake cherry flavor, this is the best tasting cherry drink ever produced in aluminum.   It's like  a non-syrupy grenadine, or real cherry juice without any bitterness. The only sour is at the very start of the drink and quickly dissipates, leaving very little aftertaste -and a whole lot of refreshment and thirst quenchiness (my new word of the day)

Packaging: 3

WOW!  Big mis-step here. They used to be packaged like this: Very colorful albeit cartoony.
the new packaging is just plain awful. Not sure who they were trying to market to here. without a doubt energy drinkers would not pick it up. Not would juice buyers - for it does not look like Snapple or lifewater, or anything else even close to that category. It does have the look of being designed by a 1st year art student however - created in Microsoft word by someone who never drinks anything but tap water. Please Please give this new design some much needed assistance. It is the right size can and I like that there is clearly labeled information as to what I am consuming, but the  this is possibly the most hideous one I have seen yet.


Website:Bing Official Site: 2
Ok - like I needed to see such a horrible site after drinking this fantastic drink.  Unless you are ordering some, stay far far away from this site!  Remember when people who should have known better made a site about their cats on Geocities?  This is worse.  A browser crashing mess of annoying blinky fonts, an unusable menu, and even a sound clip dumped on every page as a quicktime clip.  I guess they spent all their time and money on the drink, and ran out of dough before they could hire an ad team to do the packaging and the site.  Please - give a couple cases away to a talented designer who could spend a good couple days and make you something worthy.  It is such a shame to have a fantastic drink like this and such a revolting website.
