The energy tonic is their best flavor.

Blasphemy. Green Tea with Ginseng + Honey, Peach Tea, and Mango are all better. I do wish they were a little less cloyingly sweet, though.

Look at all these peasants not recognizing the obvious superiority of the Red Apple Green Tea with Ginseng.

It's been 3 years since I've had the red apple green tea with ginseng and I haven't found it at a store since :(

Same here, actually. I used to get them at the corner store near my old house, but since I moved I haven't seen them anywhere. It's been years since I had one.

There's supposedly a Peach Green Tea with Ginseng, but I can't find it anywhere.

The mango is the shit. I prefer the stuff that comes in the plastic bottle though compared to the can. Less volume, but much better tasting.

The main flavor of the energy tonic is mango.

I find it hard to not like all of their flavors. There's Arnold Palmer (sugar-free tastes like shit), Southern Sweet Tea (not as sweet as we drink it here in TN, trust me on that), Raspberry Tea, Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey, Energy Tonic, Watermelon juice drink, so many types.

My favorite is probably the Raspberry Tea though.

For me it comes down to sweetness,the strawberry,watermelon and other fruit flavors tend to be way to sweet. The green tea is good, probably my second favorite.

And actually works better than most energy drinks, at a fraction of the price.

I do like the energy tonic, but it's kinda really high in calories and sugar. I stay away from most of their products because of that, I really wish they'd make a diet energy tonic...

u/lowlife9 Dec 06 '16

As far as sweetness goes it's not as bad as their fruit juices.

Ever have the pina colada flavor...... hoe. Lee. Shit.

u/lowlife9 Dec 06 '16

I don't believe I have, but colada isn't my favorite flavor.

u/iEatMaPoo Dec 07 '16

I'm not a fan of coconut but my god is that drink good. If you ever see a blue plastic arizona bottle i suggest you try it (they're also very hard to find). Just coming from someone who thought they'd hate it also.

u/lowlife9 Dec 07 '16

Are those the plastic Arizona bottles that cost twice as much for less then you get in the can? I've seen those for the energy tonic.

1

u/iEatMaPoo Dec 07 '16

Yupp. It's sadly the only format i've seen the colada come in

u/atomicwun Dec 06 '16

I think you mean watermelon, good sir.

1

u/lowlife9 Dec 06 '16

Way to sweet, it's like pure sugar.

u/sourbeer51 Dec 06 '16

You spelled Arnold palmer wrong.
