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 C4 ENERGY SKITTLES
Upon tasting, it has a sweet and tangy flavor with a refreshing aftertaste, similar to the mix of Skittles. It feels like you’re eating a handful of all the Skittles flavors combined, but with a clean, smooth finish. The aftertaste doesn’t linger, making it easy to drink, and there’s no chemical taste, allowing the 473ml can to disappear quickly.

This crisp and light flavor is perfect for both pre- and during-workout hydration. If you’re someone who wants to enjoy a candy-like flavor without the sugar, this is a great option. It's ideal for those who are looking for an authentic fitness-focused energy drink with a fun, candy twist. It’s a drink created with American tastes in mind.

Energy Ingredients of C4 ENERGY SKITTLES

It contains 200mg of caffeine, beta-alanine, and acetyl-l-tyrosine. The caffeine content is high but not excessive, which is something I personally appreciate.

Beta-alanine is one of the most common ingredients in pre-workouts. When drinking C4 Energy, you may experience a tingling sensation in your face, known as the “beta-alanine flush.” This is normal and harmless, so there’s no need to worry.

C4 Energy is more than just a regular energy drink; it’s a product designed for those who want to push themselves in their workouts. I’d recommend it to anyone who is serious about fitness, making it one of the few energy drink brands that are truly aligned with muscle training and exercise.

The base design stays true to the original C4 Energy series, with the signature yellow and red combination. The Skittles logo and rainbow colors are placed on the part of the can where the flavor name is written, making for a simple and easy-to-recognize co-branded design.

It blends so well with the C4 Energy base design that you might miss the Skittles collaboration at first glance, especially when looking at it on the shelves. It fits seamlessly into the C4 Energy branding.

On the back of the can, you'll find the unique blend of C4 Energy’s ingredients.

Unlike traditional energy drinks that focus heavily on flashy branding, C4 Energy’s packaging design is closer to that of a supplement product, clearly showcasing the active ingredients. If you ever visit the U.S., comparing this with the packaging of original C4 supplements at stores like GNC would be an interesting experience.
