BUCKED UP ENERGY ROCKET POP LOW-STIM

Posted on June 17, 2023 | Last updated February 1, 2025

BUCKED UP ENERGY ROCKET POP LOW-STIM is a flavor from BUCKED UP ENERGY, an energy drink brand created by an American fitness supplement company.

At first glance, this white version might seem like a zero-sugar variant of the previously reviewed BUCKED UP ENERGY ROCKET POP, but in reality, the entire BUCKED UP ENERGY series is already zero-sugar. So why does this same flavor come in a white can?

The answer lies in its caffeine content. This white edition is part of the LOW-STIM series, where the caffeine has been reduced to just 100mg—one-third of the regular version. This allows you to enjoy the same great flavor with a lower caffeine dose.

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.

Opening the can releases a sweet, candy-like aroma. Since I’ve already tried the original version, I know what to expect—but let’s take a sip anyway.

As the drink hits my tongue, a refreshing sweetness quickly fades, leaving behind a clean, sugar-free ramune soda flavor. The official description refers to it as an "American flavor," but the name "ROCKET POP" actually comes from the iconic tri-colored popsicle inspired by the American flag.

Around 2020, fitness-focused energy drink brands and other zero-sugar, high-caffeine beverage companies started adopting this nostalgic popsicle flavor for their drinks. Today, it's becoming a staple in the American energy drink scene.

Since this LOW-STIM version contains only 100mg of caffeine, it allows you to enjoy the Rocket Pop flavor in a more relaxed way.

This drink contains 100mg of caffeine, along with beta-alanine, taurine, tyrosine, theanine, ginseng, theacrine, methyliberine, alpha-GPC, and huperzine A.

With its combination of high-performance ingredients, this energy drink can also serve as a pre-workout beverage. Since it includes beta-alanine, you might experience a tingling sensation on your face after drinking it—this is known as the "beta-alanine flush" and is a completely normal reaction.

The can features a matte white finish with an American flag motif, blending the signature BUCKED UP ENERGY design with patriotic elements. This bold, all-American aesthetic gives off a cool and striking impression, even from an international perspective.

At the bottom right of the can, "Caffeine 100mg" is printed in silver. While I captured the label clearly in this photo by adjusting the lighting, the white-on-silver design makes it difficult to notice at a glance in stores, which could cause confusion.

The back of the can features a mix of white, black, and silver text, but the brand’s social media handles and URLs are printed in a glossy navy blue, adding a subtle yet stylish touch.

Lining up the original 300mg caffeine version next to the 100mg LOW-STIM version, you can see how sleek and simple the design is.

However, for those unfamiliar with the BUCKED UP series, the white can may look like a sugar-free variant rather than a low-caffeine version. A more prominent indicator of the reduced caffeine content would be helpful.
