When it gets late at night, and I need my caffeine fix, what’s my go to drink? Bawls, the blue bottled energy drink. Probably the easiest (but not the most cost-efficient) way to get a 4-pack is through Target. (I was sad that they stopped carrying them for a couple months, but to my surprise, I found them a couple weeks ago.)

But when it gets really late, and I don’t have a Target or a specialty beverage store to go to within a reasonable driving distance (after all, I am sane, mostly), I start perusing the gas stations and convenience marts.

Two nights ago, I visited a nearby Walgreens for a can of 24:7 Coffee Energy Drink.

I remember trying out another flavor by the same brand, but I probably forgot to blog on it.

Smell wasn’t too bad. Actually smelled quite a bit like an actual iced coffee drink. I think it might have to do with the fact that it does have milk in it.

The taste was quite watery, almost like iced coffee with an ice to coffee ratio heavily in favor of ice. Sweetness wasn’t completely off, but it’s supposed to be “Espresso”, right? A bit sweeter than expected. Immediate aftertaste is a bit chocolately and very creamy, but the longer aftertaste is very akin to coffee.

It did its job as an energy drink. Pushed through a whole bunch of blog changes I’ve been working on.

Drinkable, but if I had a choice, I wouldn’t buy it again. 2/4.
