ROCKSTAR JUICED #TMGS
Released exclusively in AMPM stores in 2020, the low-calorie juice series " #TMGS". "#TMGS" stands for "Too much good stuff," which is one of AMPM's catchphrases. While this might not be a familiar phrase unless you're in the American West, it's likely to be known to Japanese readers of Energy Drink Mania.

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.
Gentle Sweetness of Tropical Peach Flavor
Upon opening, a sweet and sour fruit candy-like scent bursts out. Despite being a low-calorie product, the fragrance is very strong and gives off a rich, fruity sensation—this is a common feature of the series and is wonderfully executed. At the same time, there's a slight worry that the taste might not live up to this strong fragrance, a concern shared by the entire series.
Upon tasting, the main flavor is a light, sweet, and refreshing peach. In addition to the strong peach, you can also sense refreshing notes of orange and papaya. Overall, the flavor is mildly sweet and clear, with minimal acidity. It's not a thick fruit juice but more of a type you can easily gulp down.
If you take your time savoring it, the taste of artificial sweeteners starts to emerge, so it's best to drink it quickly without holding it in your mouth.
Personally, the best time to drink it was first thing in the morning. It’s refreshing, with no lingering aftertaste and mild stimulation, allowing you to enjoy natural sweetness and tropical fruit flavor.
I feared from the beginning that this mild flavor, or lack of strength, might become a barrier to maintaining the series' popularity, but I hope they make it a staple product so it can be enjoyed as a refreshing morning drink for Americans, available at any time.
I didn't notice much sediment from the fruit juice. Since it contains 8% juice, I expected a bit more cloudiness, but it was surprisingly clear.
Energy Ingredients of ROCKSTAR JUICED #TMGS
Contains 160mg of caffeine, taurine, carnitine, milk thistle, ginseng, and guarana. The juice content is 8%, with ingredients including apple, guava, passion fruit, and orange.
Design of ROCKSTAR JUICED #TMGS
The can features illustrations of orange, passion fruit, and guava. When #TMGS was first released by Rockstar, it was part of the PURE ZERO series, which you can learn more about here. The product's name combines the initials of tangerine (orange), mango, guava, and strawberry, as well as AMPM's catchphrase "Too Much Good Stuff."
With this new ROCKSTAR JUICED #TMGS, the brand seems to have moved away from focusing on the initials of individual fruits. The flavor profile is now a mix of fruits, making it harder to pinpoint, but since it's an AMPM exclusive, the significance lies in the limited release rather than trying to adjust the flavor.
The overall design of the can is clean and white, with watercolor-style fruit illustrations, evoking a natural and refreshing feel that perfectly reflects the drink's crisp taste.
Palm trees and waves are depicted on both sides of the can, giving it a tropical vibe that's perfect for a morning drink in the islands. It even brought back memories of mornings in Hawaii when I used to live there.
And the best part? This great taste comes with very low sugar content. Health-conscious drinkers will want to keep this on hand—ROCKSTAR JUICED #TMGS is a new addition to Rockstar's low-calorie juice series and a must-have energy drink.
