In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 7,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.

Flavor of bang WYLDIN' WATERMELON

When you open the can, you won't notice the typical raw melon-like smell found in North American watermelon flavors. The scent is very subtle, and given its clear, colorless appearance, it might be hard to tell what flavor it is based on the smell alone. Let's take a sip and find out.

Upon tasting, it's a mildly sweet and tangy flavor, but whether it truly tastes like watermelon is debatable... Since the watermelon flavor is already faint from the scent, it's understandable. If the watermelon aroma were stronger, it might have felt more like a watermelon flavor.

If it's not watermelon-flavored, then what does it taste like? Imagine a sweet and tangy, refreshing zero-calorie drink that resembles strawberry flavor, and you're pretty close. And it's pretty good.

In short, the flavor isn't the issue; it's just that the watermelon flavor isn't well-represented. That said, calling it "strawberry-flavored" wouldn't be entirely accurate either. Ultimately, it's the "taste of a failed attempt at a watermelon flavor."

The aftertaste is refreshing with little to no bitterness from artificial sweeteners. If you’re looking for something to drink during a workout without focusing too much on flavor, I’d recommend this.

The design features a pink color as the main theme, paired with green to evoke the idea of a watermelon flavor.

By using pink instead of red, it's less of a heavy watermelon flavor and perhaps represents the watermelon flavor that the bang series is aiming to introduce.

The back of the can also has a poppy color scheme with a white base and pink accents, which doesn't immediately suggest a watermelon flavor.

It's amusing how the caffeine content of 300mg and fitness-oriented ingredients stand out with this playful color scheme.
