Monster:Lo-Carb

If you don't know what Monster is, there is little point in you reading this, since you haven't been to a store in about 5 years.
Monster Lo-Carb tastes like it supposed to be the same flavor as Venom, and Rockstar.
It has a little difference, but it's the same.
It is a little more mellow, not as sharp, but it also makes your tongue go numb, really quick.
I'm not impressed by it, but it's an energy drink, so it works.
I am not sure what is with these companies, we have nigh upon 30 bottles on the rack, and they all taste the same and do the same thing, what's the point?

Sobe Lifewater: Black and Blue Berry

Black and Blue Berry, cute name.
This drink is a water, so the fact that it is outright bland isn't a huge pitfall.
Here's my problem with drinks like this, as a water beverage with flavoring in it, it tastes like every other flavor, because they are all WATER!
Still I like my dark berries and this one is no worse than any water I've had. One of the berries adds a tang that saves this one from being mediocre and brings it up to good.
It has the flavors of the fruit on the bottle, so it get brownie points for that.
It is as good as the pomegranate flavor of the same brand, I can't rate it, it's not supposed to be strong, but at the same time, it tastes good, just not enough taste.

Either way, it isn't yucky and it's low carb, give it a shot.
