Review of JOLT Cherry Bomb, Carbonated Energy Drink

Every morning I stop off at my local 711 on my way in to work. Every morning I grab a cup of coffee, a bagel or roll, and an energy drink. Last month my energy kick came from my coffee, and a mid afternoon Redline energy drink.

This past week though I spotted a new energy drink located in the energy drink section called JOLT Cherry Bomb, Carbonated Energy. The can was what actually caught my eye first. JOLT Cherry Bomb looked more like this huge monstrous steel toxic drum, the lid even suggested that this drink would be potent.

The can itself is a larger 23.5 ounce aluminum can with a weird large lid popping out of the top. It reminded me more of a lid you would find on a large Snapple bottle. A design that I myself have never seen on an aluminum can.

Towards the top of the can a maroon colored sky is colored into the can, with silver bolts of lightning scratched into the maroon colored sky. The bottom half of the can is pure black, with of course the JOLT logo written on it in a clever lightning bolt text.

Taste:
Popping the can open was the funnest thing about this oddly designed can. You twist the large aluminum lid off in the same manner you would any bottled drink. Only JOLY Cherry Bomb makes a very loud cool explosive popping sound when the lid is lifted off.

After the lid is off you will see a small misting of smoke (carbonation). It really added to the whole cool factor of this drink; making it seem more and more like a toxic crusader drum.

I tipped the drink up to my mouth and took a big gulp. I was expecting this drink to taste bad. Most carbonated energy drinks I have tried in the past have always had this bite of vitamin within the taste, and I was expecting JOLT to taste exactly the same. Salty, sugary, and vitamin like.

Only JOLT Cherry Bomb had none of these odd nasty flavors, instead the energy drink tasted more like watered down Diet Dr. Pepper. By far the best tasting carbonated energy drink I have ever had.

Energy?
 
JOLT Cherry Bomb is fast acting, and I was able to feel an energetic kick in less than 10 minutes after taking a few short gulps of the drink. The energy comes on like a storm, but it is not a bad jittery jumpy type of energy. It packs enough power to wake you up, but also allowing you to still focus without having minor heart palpitations.

The lasting effect stays with you for about a half an hour. Although that does not seem like a long time, there is enough in this can for you to surge your energy back up all throughout the day.

I don't drink the whole thing in one shot. I actually sip it throughout the day giving myself just enough energy to wake up and feel good.

Truly though the thing I love about this drink is the fact that when the energy kick wears off, you don't come crashing down.

Overall:
 
JOLT Cherry Bomb Carbonated Energy is by far one of my newest favorite energy drinks. It has a taste you will actually like, is packed in a huge can, so you can sip on it all day, and does not cause you to crash once the effect has worn off.

I highly, highly recommend this one to those looking for a solution for all day energy without the jittery feeling, or crashing effect.

-Do read the label before purchasing, to make sure you are not allergic to any of JOLTS ingredients.
