Energy Drink Review: Crunk!!!
July 29th, 2007 by Fuzz
Never, for one second, did I think that I would find an energy drink named “Crunk!!!” in the cooler at the Piggly Wiggly in my little town. But, as soon as I did, I knew that I had to try it.
Crunk, for those of you who don’t speak “hip hop,” is a mixture of the words “crazy” and “drunk.” Crunk, the energy drink, however, doesn’t have any alcohol in it. Thinking about that, now, though, I think that it would probably taste good as a mixer.
Despite having an overly lame name, Crunk!!! is actually pretty good. It tastes like a concentrated version of No Fear Energy Drink. It has a little bit of a “melted-gummy-bear” overtone to it and it’s lightly carbonated. The energy blend in Crunk!!! contains the same ingredients as most of the others (guarana, taurine, L-Carnitine, etc.), except this one also has Green Tea Leaf, Damiana Leaf, Horny Goat Weed (an aphrodisiac - wtf?), Licorice Root, and on the can it touts in big bold letters, “Ashwaganda.” Ashwagandha, as it’s properly spelled, is a fancy name for Indian Ginseng (and it has about the same effects as normal ginseng).
I wish it came in a bigger can, but I like it nonetheless.
