There is a new drink on the rise, and that is the Ghost energy drink.

Ghost energy drinks have a ton of flavors many people love, but the drinks reviewed were Tropical Mango, Sour Patch Kids Blue Raspberry, Warheads Sour Watermelon, and Sour Patch Kids Redberry. The redberry had one vote for the best drink.

Junior Luke Smith said, “I really enjoyed the Sour Patch Kids Redberry. It tasted exactly like a sour patch kid, and it just had the best overall taste out of the rest of the drinks.”

Six out of the eight people who taste tested the drinks voted for the Tropical Mango flavor as the best.

Sophomore Mavrick Pauley said, “The Tropical Mango was 100 percent my favorite drink. The rest of them were just so bad compared to the mango one. The mango wasn’t very strong, and it had a very sweet rather than sour taste.”

The least voted for or the most hated drink was the Warhead energy drink.

Junior Isaac Robinson said, “My favorite drink was the Mango one, but my least favorite one was the Warhead drink. It was so bad. It wasn’t even sour really; it just tasted very acidic, almost like a whole bunch of chemicals put into carbonated water.”

Energy drinks normally aren’t the most healthy drinks for you.

Pauley said, “I wouldn’t drink these every day just because they are energy drinks. I don’t really care if they say they are healthy because anything that gives you a lot of energy has got to be really bad for you.”

On average for energy drinks, it takes approximately 10 minutes for the caffeine to get into the bloodstream.

Junior Julio De La Rosa said, “I didn’t really notice that I had a lot of energy until someone had told me that I needed to calm down in class. But I would say that it took about 10 to 15 minutes to get into my bloodstream.”

Unlike other energy drinks, Ghost energy has only five calories in it.

Smith said, “The fact that it only has five calories in the drink makes me feel a lot better about drinking them. I don’t really know if they are allowed to lie about how many calories there are, but it does taste like it has a ton of calories in it.”

The designs of the cans can do a lot when it comes to sales.

Robinson said, “I really like the designs of the cans. I do think that the best tasting drink, Tropical Mango, had the best designed can as well. It really caught my attention when it was set down on the table although all of the other designs of the sour patch cans were very nice as well.”
