We are truly in the confusing era of the 0 Calorie drink. Tap water is 0 Calories and mostly free, but when you are out it's nice to have a similar experience and a cool healthy drink. So I picked a few up and then drank them at home anyway!
This one - I mostly liked the portmanteau of Alien and Energy - I'd not seen that before. It's very 90s and pretty cool. I'd forgive them if the drink was bad.
No calories and a bunch of sprayed on vitamins, it's basically PRIME.
Only this is based around water and sweeteners (boo) but with a lovely fruity taste. This is unmistakably Lychee, and really refreshing. Even though I dislike the sweeteners this is very subtle and suitable for most people's tastes. A win.
And here we have a drink that is usually zero calorie - tea! Putting milk in (as I usually do) or sugar (as I did in my twenties) makes it less of a healthy proposition - but the natural botanicals of the jasmine tea remove the need for this - IF it's done properly.
They put in some things to keep it fresh, but otherwise this is tea and water - result! Sure - we haven't quite got to fortified vitamin teas yet, but without the negative parts you can literally drink as much of this as you like and not need to worry.
And it's a good one too - very basey flavour, deep and earthy teas. The jasmine is very subtle, but does rise towards the end making this a very easy tea to drink. I'd certainly have this again (even though I do default to the Mr Kong version which is a lot closer to American Pop than this serious adult tea!)
While bottled water is a bit of a menace in nations that have clean and safe municipal supplies (just stick it in the fridge!) it's nice to have flavoured alternatives that are neither too expensive or bland and can give you a little shot of vitamins or cafiene to get through the shopping experience.
