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 CELSIUS SPARKLING WATERMELON

The aroma does not have the typical grassy smell of watermelon, and it’s hard to tell if it really smells like watermelon. When poured into a glass, it has a natural pink hue. CELSIUS often uses natural hues rather than emphasizing the image of fruit flesh in their color choices. Let’s take a sip and see.
Flavor of CELSIUS SPARKLING WATERMELON
Upon tasting, it has a strong acidity with a flavor that’s hard to pinpoint. The aroma lacks the distinctiveness of watermelon, which makes it difficult to recognize as a watermelon flavor.

It seemed that the flavor drifted further away from watermelon as it got colder. The ideal drinking temperature might be closer to room temperature.

If I had to describe it, it leans more toward flavors like strawberry, dragon fruit, or peach, rather than watermelon. So, if you’re expecting a true watermelon flavor, you might be quite disappointed. I wish they had focused a bit more on the aroma.

Energy Ingredients of CELSIUS SPARKLING WATERMELON

Energy Ingredients of CELSIUS SPARKLING WATERMELON
It contains 200mg of caffeine, taurine, guarana, glucuronolactone, ginger, and green tea.

CELSIUS uses a combination of these ingredients, optimized in their blend called "MetaPlus Blend" for maximum fat-burning efficiency. This is one of the selling points of CELSIUS. However, I wouldn’t expect dramatic effects—it's best to enjoy the zero sugar and flavor.

Design of CELSIUS SPARKLING WATERMELON

The logo color matches the red of watermelon, with a band color extending across the back. CELSIUS products feature fruit colors as the main hue, with the CELSIUS logo and band color changing for each product. In this case, the logo and band are both red.

The black top and the black band at the bottom make the white can appear more streamlined, giving it a clean impression. The product design, reflecting a policy of avoiding harmful ingredients and promoting health, is clearly reflected in the colors and design.

The backside is filled with so much text, giving the impression of a new energy drink focused on ingredient claims. Once you're used to it, you might stop looking at the back, but if it’s your first time holding the can, the amount of text might feel a bit overwhelming.
