Last year, near the end of my temporary work, I managed to get Sneak Energy. I got starter deal and cans taster pack. Thinking I would make video on them. Only, well at the time I was using Hitfilm Express as editing software and it was crashing, normally I can deal with it, but my problem was - how I editied that video and Hitfilm Express took long time to render it, for while I had saved files but then either I deleted timeline in project, or timeline doesn't get saved in project file if I upload it or chancge location of project file. Or I just delete project file and all raw files. Tried retrying to make video but it is scripted, most part of it. Maybe I could retry it, and now think maybe I could have both video and blog spot about same topic, but for video I need time where other people doesn't disctract me or make background noises.
Any ways I need to write copy & paste from script about Sneak Energy and see if I need to change stuff in it. By the way of course in starter pack there is sachets but I will use tub pictures to show what I'm talking about.
Shaking shaker cup for the first time generally drink spilled out a little bit. Not sure why. Maybe I put too much water or didn’t close it enough. Or like always I’m getting one product of many that is broken. I’ll see about that.
Now about Sour Apple taste.
Smell of it, it didn’t smell good. Not sure how I can describe it. Actually that was from first time smelling, it didn’t smell like apple. But over time it started to smell like apple.
Taste after first sip, it was hard to tell if it tastes like sour apple. Or maybe I had too much water for it. Well it wasn't as sour as I thought. Or maybe too much water.
At least from first sips it didn’t seem to be chalky. Maybe at the end of it might feel chalky but then again I might not have shaken it enough because the drink was spilling out.
Regular energy drinks I finish drinking them fastly but this, I think it took an hour or maybe 30 minutes to finish to drink this but I wasn’t halfway done when I wrote this part as part of the script. Maybe because it is mixed with water it doesn’t give the urge to finish drinking fastly. Or maybe I don’t like the taste, that's why it took long to drink. But it doesn’t seem to be the case, that’s about taste.
Even when I hadn't finished drink I still yawned.. Maybe I’m drinking too slowly, caffeine gets out before I finish drinking. Or maybe there still is an energy drink crash. Or maybe that’s how you should drink energy drinks. That’s spacing out from the same serving.
After finishing it, it didn’t seem to be chalky. Or at least I didn’t feel the powder.
And still it wasn’t sour. Either too much water. Or this is a light sour drink. Well if you like anything apple taste then maybe you can try this. But be warned that this might not be sour. But again this isn’t also sweet. It might be between sour and sweet. Or like I mentioned before I might have too much water.
After a little while when I have finished drinking it I still yawned but at that moment I didn’t feel the energy drink crash. Or it's a little bit different from regular energy drink crashes. Well basically I still yawn but don’t feel tired as much as after drinking regular energy drinks.
Even if I yawned after drinking I felt energized for a long time.
Stealth - I was thinking what it would taste like, because is there fruit called stealth? At the start I thought it as mystery taste. However at the start I failed shaking it so I might have not tasted it correctly.
Maybe because I didn’t shake it correctly and/or I might have too much water in it but I’m not a big fan of this taste. Well I feel like I had something with the same taste but can’t quite tell it. Maybe my nose was blocked but I couldn’t smell it.
Actually over time I started liking taste. Only maybe when (if I will able) next time to get then I might not like this and again overtime taste will grow on me.
It felt that the energy boost wasn’t as strong as for sour apples. But again I failed at shaking, was drinking after waking up, and when I drank sour apple I had instant coffee with sugar before sour apple. Like an hour before maybe. Maybe Sneak Energy is meant to wake up you or drinking after drinking sugary drinks no matter how much sugar there is. Now I wonder if Sneak Energy is selling similar powder without caffeine. And they also put these in the starter packs? Only what's the point calling them energy? But then again I drank this up pretty fast. Faster than sour apple.
Strawberry Millions - When I wanted to make this, I noticed that there is actually sugar in these drinks. And it’s in almost all drinks of Sneak Energy, and even in drinks before this had little bit sugar in it, I think.. Well it’s just 0.5g but still there is sugar. Well I will call it as a sub ingredient because it is under carbohydrates. I guess if products have 0.5 amount of something then it seems like basically nothing. For example there are alcohol free beer but in those there still is 0.5% alcohol in it. And it counts as alcohol free beer.
When I was shaking the shaker cup I heard a fizzing sound and then the drink spilled a little bit out. Also I think I had less water than the previous two drinks. I guess the shaker cup might be damaged and I need to get a different one to see if it will have the same problem. Or I was doing something wrong.
This drink smelled and tasted like strawberry. Or at least some snacks or juices that have strawberry taste. Not sure if strawberry is my favorite fruit and/or berry but at least it was at some point. So I liked this taste.
Took longer time to finish it then sour apple it because I took it with me at work and I needed to do outside work. Of course, like for sour apple, I had instant coffee with sugar before it. I guess if I have some amount of caffeine in me then I’m not forced to get more of it. And lastly maybe because I was outside in the cold then I was cold and had a cold drink then I didn’t want to drink a lot of it. It almost took 4 hours to complete it. Because 4 hours was my work hours.
While I was working I thought that I haven’t tried these when I was playing games which are advertised as gaming energy drinks. Maybe not generations but regular Sneak Energy that has gaming energy on it. So when I was on break I figured out to play Ace Attorney on the phone and I didn’t fail a lot in that play session. Like I normally would do. But then again it's a puzzle game then my mind maybe was already sharp without drinking this. Or drink could have helped me with Ace Attorney. Now I’m thinking what's the best game genre to try drinking this while playing games.
I guess when I spaced this drink that long then I guess I also spaced out getting an energy boost from this drink. So when I write a script I’m not feeling tired. And it did help a little bit at work.
Bubblegum Millions - Actually when I drank this I found there is a gauge of ml on the shaker cup. And I was right about me putting too much water in. Because on packets it’s said that you need to add powder to 300 to 400 ml water. But the shaker cup is more than that. Maybe the shaker cup is 800 ml large. That’s if you can have that much water in it. Maybe it’s that large for those who want to have double serving or want a weaker version of energy drink. For the next taste I try to have 400 ml of water. But it’s hard to see gauge because the shaker cup is white and the number and gauge is also white. Because I found a gauge I think I am drinking another Sneak Energy on the same day. But from other side I tried to suppress my urge which didn’t work.
Of course this smelled and tasted like bubblegum even if I had too much water in it. Well one of those sweet bubblegum tastes. Only for little bit I thought there was mint taste, or at least mint after taste. After while it started slowly taste less like bubblegum.
Maybe I’m already too used to drinking this or/and I had too much water. I didn’t feel an energy boost. At least as much as for the previous drinks. But then again I had interrupted sleep and the weather was rainy here and there.
Cherry Bomb - Said fuck it to my self and drunk this at same day as Bubblegum Millions. This time following instructions, that is trying to use 400 ml water. Also it is said on the package that max serving is two then it should be fine. Only wasn’t sure if I will be able to sleep at night, that was my thought when I drank it. Didn’t drink it close to when I went to sleep. I think I slept fine in that night.
Because in the taste title there is a bomb I thought this drink would have been sour but it isn’t. It’s sweet cherry. Taste wise, I think it would be the same taste if I would have put too much water in it. Only caffeine then it’s weaker when I put too much water in it. I thought like that. At least it helped me feel not tired. I guess if you use less water than it’s for a shorter period, but if you use more water then caffeine is weaker but drink is for a longer time. Then at least it seems like it is working for a longer time. If you have have too much water.
Smell is when there is juice with cherry taste. Taste wise is drinkable but if I have choice then I wouldn't get it.
Purple Storm - At the start I thought of as another mystery taste and guessed it would taste like grapes. Or like grape juice. Only I was wrong. Actually not sure about that. Because I couldn’t quite tell it how it tastes. There was some taste but I couldn't figure out how it tastes.
For some reason it smelled like bubblegum. Wait, Sneak Energy has two bubblegum products? Before this I had a cherry bomb and washed the shaker cup. Because it seemed that it smelled like bubblegum I thought that the taste was the same.
However after a while it felt that I tasted grapes. It was weak but it seemed to taste like grapes. Or I just tasted what I wanted. After that I thought about it’s something like multi-fruit taste. As in mixed multiple tastes in one drink.
When I finished work and went home I didn’t feel tired when I was home. It is just by drinking this.
Now to last 3 tastes which is also in cans.
Strawberry Wattermelon - First I drank a powdered version of this drink. Which I took with me at work When I was home feeling tired then I drank carbonated or maybe it was nitrogenated. But at the time I didn’t know about nitrogenated drinks.
Powdered version smelled and tasted like watermelon but I didn’t either smell or taste strawberry from it.
Previous night I had trouble sleeping… It's because it felt that I needed to go shit but most of the time it didn’t happen. So this helped wake up when I was at work.
However when I was home I got tired. So figured out to drink carbonated versions of this. But then again it was similar weather like when I drank cherry bombs after bubblegum millions. Or here and there you still can get a crash from these drinks.
Maybe my nose was blocked but I didn’t smell either watermelon or strawberry. Same with taste - I didn’t feel either strawberry or watermelon. Just feeling something carbonated or nitrogenated.
Not sure why I didn’t feel the taste of this. It’s said to “serve chilled” and it stayed in cold for some time. Only maybe when I was heating the apartment then maybe heated to room temperature (as much as it could) and when I stopped heating the apartment then the drink became cool, as much as it could.
From this I’m thinking it’s better to get tubs not in cans. Well before that I check how it will be for the last two tastes.
Blue Raspberry - Even though it’s blue raspberry it smelled and tasted like regular raspberry. When writing the script for video I checked out if there is blue raspberry. But didn’t find it. Blue raspberry taste for snacks and drinks are from whitebark or blackcap raspberry. And I guess if this drink tasted like regular raspberry than those I guess also taste like regular raspberry. But that’s off-topic.
Well I thought the drink got blue color somehow from different natural coloring but I guess there are actually raspberries from which we can get blue color for drinks and other snacks.
About drink, I might not have shaken it enough. Like always. Because when it runned out I notice some leftovers in the bottom of the shaker cup. But after a while when I had little water left then they got shaken enough. But even with that I could taste blue raspberry.
Now about the carbonated version of this drink. This time I could taste the drink. Which of course was blue raspberry. Only it seems like it is too much carbonated… or nitrogenated. Well as in there are a lot of small carbonated bubbles.
Energy boost of both of these were enough. After drinking the powder version I got free beer. So I didn’t drink any other energy drink. But I got dizzy from one can of beer at that day.
Tropikilla - Wasn’t sure how it was tasting. Probably some kinda tropical fruit as the name suggests. Only I didn’t like the taste. I might have not correctly made it but I didn’t like the taste of it.
However when I didn’t like the taste of this drink from the powder version I was surprised that I somewhat liked the carbonated version of this when 2 out of 3 carbonated drinks (or nitrogenated) I didn’t like the carbonated drink and when I didn’t like the powder version of same taste.
Of course it gives the same amount of energy boost as other drinks. Only for powdered version I felt that from it might have an energy drink crash then I started eating food so then there wasn't a crash.
For the carbonated version it is enough.
