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 ROCKSTAR PUNCHED #TMGS STRAWBERRY VANILLA

Upon opening the can, a faint milky strawberry candy aroma fills the air. However, this is only recognizable because the flavor name is indicated, and without prior knowledge, it might be hard to identify the scent—it's a subtle one. How does the taste fare? Let’s take a sip.

When you take a sip, a light, tart raspberry flavor comes through. There’s no strong, bold sweetness or rich aroma typical of strawberries; instead, it’s a more refreshing berry taste.

The vanilla flavor, due to its weak aroma, doesn’t expand much on the palate, leaving only a vague milky impression. It’s a bit difficult to call this a true strawberry-vanilla mix flavor.

The taste itself is light and refreshing. It doesn’t feel as sugary as you might expect from the Punch series. The aftertaste leaves a pleasant tartness, making it easy to finish the 473ml can naturally.

Just because it's an energy drink doesn’t mean the stronger the flavor, the better. Personally, I enjoy this type, but I think it could also work well as a zero-sugar option or with a half-sugar formula. It might be interesting if it were released as part of the Pure Zero series instead of the high-sugar Punch series.

This drink contains 240mg of caffeine, taurine, carnitine, milk thistle, ginseng, and guarana. It also packs 61g of sugar, so it’s important to be mindful of both the high caffeine and sugar content in this energy drink.

The can features a unique color combination of pink, black, and beige, which evokes the image of vanilla.

I think the color scheme fits the strawberry-vanilla flavor concept well. However, the taste doesn’t quite align with the design and color imagery.

I happened to find this "#TMGS" at an AMPM in Los Angeles. It has become a tradition for energy drink enthusiasts to visit AMPM just for this.

A few months after being released at AMPM, the "#TMGS" label sometimes gets removed, and it’s sold across the U.S. However, products with "#TMGS" are exclusive to AMPM during this period. When traveling to the U.S., it’s fun to hunt for AMPM stores with "#TMGS" on their products. Be sure to check it out during your next trip to the U.S.!
