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 Rick & Morty "Toxic Rick" Energy Drink

Upon opening the can, a sweet and sour aroma reminiscent of cherries and strawberries emerges. The drink itself is a reddish pink color, similar to a fruit punch. Let's give it a try.

When tasted, a sweet and sour cherry candy flavor spreads across the palate, offering a clear and refreshing sensation. This flavor lacks the richness of real cherries, instead focusing on a candy-like sweetness.

With 42g of sugar, the taste is undeniably rich. The aftertaste leaves a lingering, dense cherry flavor with a sweet and tangy profile.

Energy drink products from Boston America don’t typically offer unique flavors for each design. Instead, they reuse several flavors across different products. For the Rick & Morty "Toxic Rick" Energy Drink, there are three possible flavors: blue mixed berry, purple bubblegum, and red cherry. It’s a surprise until you open the can—this time, I happened to get the red cherry flavor.

It seems that Boston America has been reusing these three flavors across its recent products. This approach makes the drinks more of a collector's item for fans rather than a source of flavor novelty.

Design of Rick & Morty "Toxic Rick" Energy Drink

The can features a dark illustration of Rick Sanchez from *Rick & Morty*. The product name "Toxic Rick" is reflected in the toxic and edgy aesthetic of the artwork.

Given the name "Toxic Rick," one might expect the drink inside to be a vivid green color. However, true to Boston America's style, the contents reuse flavors seen in other products, which in this case was cherry.

As someone familiar with Boston America's branding, I wasn’t surprised by the generic flavor. However, those unfamiliar with the brand might feel a disconnect between the product's concept and its actual content. Combined with the use of a film wrap label, many may perceive it as a cheap novelty item.

During my 2024 trip to the U.S., I encountered Boston America's energy drinks, including Toxic Rick, for the first time in stores.

These drinks are not commonly stocked in regular supermarkets or convenience stores, so finding them can be challenging. If you're interested, consider exploring smaller specialty stores that carry niche food products—you might just get lucky.
