UPDATE Energy Drink, Caffeine Free, Zero Sugar, Variety 12-Pack, 12 fl oz, No Crash, Paraxanthine Powered

I've been drinking this paraxanthine energy drink since the original formula came out, so I was honestly a little annoyed when I heard they updated it. That said… after actually trying the new version for a while, it's still really good. The energy is the main reason I started using this in the first place and that hasn't changed. It's smooth. You don't get that jittery, anxious feeling like you do with most caffeine drinks, and there's no hard crash a few hours later. I usually have one in the morning before work and it keeps me focused without feeling overstimulated. The new flavors are also legit. Berry and Peach are probably my go-tos right now, but Pineapple is solid too. They're lighter than most zero sugar drinks and don't leave that thick, fake aftertaste behind. Easy to drink daily. My only real gripe with the new paraxanthine energy drink formula is the switch to sucralose. I wish they never went that route. I get that it's in almost everything in the zero sugar category now, but one of the things I liked about the original was that it didn't rely on it. It's not terrible here, but it's definitely something I noticed right away. Overall though: • Same smooth energy • No jitters • No crash • New flavors taste good • Just wish they kept sucralose out Still my daily drink. I just miss that part of the original formula.

This pack is a good value compared to the single flavor packs on their official website. No crash unlike caffeine. Taste of flavors are definitely better compared to first generation. Hopefully they keep the price this low or maybe even make it lower.
