Rush Lite Energy Drink

Rush Lite Energy Drink I was checking out the energy drinks in the store in hopes of finding something cheap that would keep me up for a while. There was Rush Energy Lite drink marked down to 98 cents. How could I resist? The design on the can is very unimpressive - it looks like something that should normally cost less than a dollar. This product has been around since at least 2003 - 2 years ago - somebody please tell them to hire a new product designer and reformulate the packaging since it seems like they are currently using an amateur.

However, that's not what matters at the moment. What is important is the fact that it costs less than a dollar and I needed a 'legal' pick me upper. This drink certainly does what it says - gives you a RUSH! Within minutes after finishing the can, I felt like I was bouncing off the walls. I was so hyper I didn't even know what to do with myself. Not only did I stay up until 2 AM, but I was awake and ready to go a short 3 hours later at 5AM. I am NOT a morning person - and by 'morning' I mean I don't like to open my eyes before 8AM - so for me to be up at 5 and out of the apartment by 6 AM is a major feat!

The taste is slightly tart and citrusy which translates to pretty good. You certainly don't miss the sugar, which they have replaced with the sweeteners sucralose (Splenda) and acesulfame K. Then there is the fact that you get 0 calories.

So what makes this an "energy drink" you might ask. Well there is the ever popular energy drink combination of the amino acids L-carnitine, choline and taurine coupled with caffeine (1000 mg total). Word on the street is that a lot of caffeine is not good for you but if you need an extra boost of energy, I would go with Rush over Red Bull Sugar Free Energy Drink - cheaper, bigger can and better taste.
