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 FAST & FURIOUS Energy Drink
Upon opening, a sweet and tangy fruit candy-like aroma fills the air with floral notes. The liquid inside is a bright wine red color, contrasting nicely with the can design. Let’s take a sip.
When you take a sip, it’s a sweet and sour berry or acerola candy flavor, with a soft floral aroma wrapping around it, and a slight chemical aftertaste lingering.
It’s a bit of a jumble of flavors, but none of them get lost, and each provides a distinct taste that’s quite enjoyable.
Multiple flavors come together to form a berry candy flavor, and though you’re not quite sure what flavor it’s trying to be, surprisingly, it’s easy to drink down.
By the way, the can states "Raspberry & Citrus Flavor."
The taste is quite strong with a little bit of residue. The berry aroma and flavor aren’t like real fruit, but it’s rich and satisfying. The flavor is so strong that you might find it hard to finish a 500ml can. A 250ml can would be the right size.
Energy Ingredients of FAST & FURIOUS Energy Drink
It contains no caffeine but is rich in amino acids, with 1000mg of citrulline, 1000mg of arginine, 2000mg of BCAA, and 2000mg of malate (apple acid).
The "NO" listed under these ingredients refers to nitric oxide.
The term "NO" has been a common word for those familiar with supplements and weight training. Citrulline and arginine are used for pumps and are part of NO-based supplements.
Although the amount included in this FAST & FURIOUS Energy Drink might not be enough to make a huge impact, the connection to NOS from the movie is a clever nod to the product’s theme.
Design of FAST & FURIOUS Energy Drink
The simple design features the FAST & FURIOUS logo. As a movie tie-in product, it has NOS-like colors, and there’s no need for any unnecessary decoration.
The Fast & Furious, Fast X, and Universal logos are displayed together.
It also features the anti-doping certification mark and the ASURA logo.
