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 FLYING POWER X-TREME WATERMELON

Upon opening the can, a sweet watermelon bar scent fills the air, with a subtle hint of the slightly grassy smell of melon, creating a very realistic watermelon fragrance.

When you take a sip, the taste is not sweet, but rather a refreshing, tangy flavor. The aroma of watermelon flesh and rind blends together, recreating a high-quality watermelon flavor that immediately brings to mind the fresh, crisp sensation of watermelon.

It’s not a thick, juicy watermelon flavor, but the refreshing, clean watermelon taste can be enjoyed at both room temperature and when chilled, making it one of the best watermelon flavors I’ve tried.

Adding ice enhances the refreshing quality, bringing out the watermelon flavor even more.

Normally, adding ice can dilute the taste, but in the case of FLYING POWER X-TREME WATERMELON, the flavor doesn’t emphasize richness, but rather the tanginess and fresh melon-like fragrance. So when ice is added, it becomes even more refreshing and true to its watermelon flavor.

Many watermelon-flavored energy drinks have been released, but honestly, I’ve rarely wanted to finish an entire 250ml can. However, FLYING POWER X-TREME WATERMELON is so delicious that I wanted to drink the whole thing. I never expected to encounter such a high-quality watermelon flavor in a supermarket private brand product...

Design of FLYING POWER X-TREME WATERMELON

A vivid combination of pink, black, and white. The pink color is quite striking, and it doesn’t immediately suggest watermelon flavor.

The black top with a gold tab adds a sense of luxury, which is unexpected for a supermarket private brand product. It’s a mystery why there’s such attention to detail.

The vivid color of the 500ml can is in a black case. The case design is overall sleek and doesn’t match the flavor color scheme, showing that the design is thought out not only for the can but for the entire packaging.
