Wanna bang?

I haven’t ever banged before… I wanted to, but never had the chance to try it. No one ever offered and I wasn’t about to be weird and ask. But today, that changed. I walked up, chose what I wanted, and asked the kind lady to help me out….. So I could pay for my bang energy drink.

Thought this was going somewhere else didn’t you? Nope, energy drink review coming at ya. As you can see in the photo, today I tried out the popular energy drink known as Bang. I have actually heard many good things about this drink and my expectations were high. But, I was sadly disappointed. I was told my numerous people that this was one of the strongest energy drinks they have ever had and it make them jittery the rest of the day. This was not the case for me.

It had almost no effect….(insert sad face here). It was like a soda to me and I could barely tell throughout the rest of the day that I had drank an energy drink at all. The other two drinks I have reviewed so far, monster and reign, had some kind of effect. With the monster it was an energy boost and the reign was more of a focus booster. This bang I drank today was neither. And something I have failed to mention this far is the taste. Being a UCA student, I gravitated toward the pretty purple can that looked the most appealing. Plus, this flavor compared to all the goofy flavors like birthday cake, seemed the most normal. HOWEVER. This stuff tasted like a flat can of spoiled grape Fanta. It also had an awful after taste with a not so good flavor to begin with. If I can say anything good about it, it would be that it at least kept me awake. I felt zero boost in energy, but I didn’t fall asleep during my shift today, so that’s a plus I guess.

Side note: This drink did so little for me throughout my shift that I still took preworkout before I went to the gym. You would think with that much caffeine that my heart would explode, but this drink was a dud.

Okay, lets rate this sucker. I give it a 3/10. And I’m being generous with the 3. It BARELY qualifies as an energy drink in my book. But, me being a little on the thiccc side for my height, it takes a little more kick to make me feel anything. I may have to try another flavor to see if it was the taste that really threw me off, so I may give this drink another chance in the future. If I can muster the will to forget my previous experience with this one.

Thanks for reading, and as always #staywoke.
