WIRED ENERGY, a long-established American energy drink brand that has been around since the early days of the energy drink era, offers the original sugar-free version.

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 WIRED ENERGY X344 SUGAR FREE
Upon opening, a strong acidic, chemical-like odor bursts out. Just like the original, the fluorescent yellow color gives off a very chemical vibe. Now, let's take a sip.
Upon taking a sip, the sweetness is almost nonexistent, with a sharp, acidic, chemical flavor that follows the classic path. The unpleasant taste of artificial sweeteners is adequately masked, making it easy to drink without any awkward aftertaste.
The chemical flavor is quite strong, almost on par with the original. This drink is perfect for those who want to enjoy a distinct, medicinal taste. It’s especially ideal for those who love a chemical flavor without sweetness.
WIRED ENERGY X344 SUGAR FREE has a flavor quite similar to Rockstar Sugar-Free, so it can be considered a classic example of a chemical flavor.
Since PepsiCo acquired Rockstar, the chemical flavor has mellowed out, so if you're looking for the intense chemical taste of the past, WIRED ENERGY X344 SUGAR FREE is a great option. With the number of stores carrying it dwindling, if you find it, make sure to grab one.
Energy Ingredients of WIRED ENERGY X344 SUGAR FREE
Contains 344mg of caffeine, 2900mg of taurine, 96mg of inositol, 250mg of guarana, and 60mg of white tea extract.
WIRED ENERGY X344 SUGAR FREE continues to boast one of the highest caffeine contents in America, which has seen a rise in high-caffeine drinks since around 2019. The ingredients are classic, and it contains higher amounts of the ingredients compared to the usual energy drinks.
Design of WIRED ENERGY X344 SUGAR FREE
A clear design that combines the WIRED logo and the prominent "344" indicating high caffeine content, making it easy to recognize from a distance.
Using the orange from the original, the base color is white, clearly indicating it’s the sugar-free version.
The back features a simple design with the WIRED ENERGY X344 logo and a catchy phrase.
"Massive Caffeine, Massive Energy" is a catchy phrase fitting for an energy drink with 344mg of caffeine, straightforward and direct.
Unlike the stylish lifestyle or fitness-themed energy drinks that became popular around 2020, this design has a classic American energy drink vibe, embodying the wild and intense spirit of the brand.
Though it’s now scarce in circulation, I hope the brand continues to maintain this classic American energy drink feel without making significant changes to the design in the future.
