Refreshing

Sparkling Orange Pineapple is a refreshing drink and taste great ,It is with natural fruit flavors and caffeine from green tea ,love it because it is 50 calories with no artificial colors or flavors .

Worst tasting drink I've ever had.

I can drink pretty much anything (hell, I'm originally from NL; isolation and easy going natures generally make us up for anything), but sweet merciful, this is vile. For reference, I've even willingly consumed jungle juice as optimistic, fun-seeking teenager. I mean, that wasn't yesterday. But still. I'd happily swig from that 2L bottle than take another sip of this swamp water.

Thankfully, I got it as a sample. I would be pretty ticked had I used my own well-earned coin to (attempt to) consume it.

I gave it my best shot. I swear, I did. But I just couldn't do it and ended up biffing the entire can.

Taste is all wrong

I tried V8 orange pineapple energy drink and I was disappointed. It did not taste like orange or pineapple enough. Stevia sweetener overpowered the taste.

V8 + Energy Orange Pineapple

I received the V8 +ENERGY ORANGE PINEAPPLE to try for free in exchange for my honest opinion and was super excited as I tried the blueberry pomegranate one and I absolutely loved it. I drink tons of coffee but tend to stay away from energy drinks for caffeine consumption purposes. V8 makes fantastic juices which I love, so I had faith that this was going to be a great product but unfortunately I did not enjoy it - strictly for the taste.

I drank the product around 1 PM for an 'after lunch pick me up' and found my self yawning at 4. I normally don't go to bed until 11 but I was in bed by 9:30 that night! I don't think obviously that the product made me more tired, but I definitely don't think it gave me any energy. Throughout the last few hours of my work day I didn't feel any less tired and I did not have any more energy then usually do. I find this strange because the can at 243mL is smaller then a small can of redbull which has 250mL but they both have the same amount of caffeine content per can at 80mg (equivalent to one cup of coffee!).

The taste of the drink is terrible! I hate artificial tasting drinks and drinks that contain artificial sweeteners as they have the worst aftertaste. This one lists Rebiana on their ingredient list (stevia leaf extract) and it is noticeable immediately. I originally thought this beverage didn't have artificial sweeteners but upon the first sip, I had to double check. It tastes extrememly artificial. I do love that the caffeine comes from green tea which makes me feel a lot better about drinking it. It also has a great amount of vitamins like other V18 juices and it gives you 140% of your daily intake of B12 - something I happen to be low in! I also like that the product is NOT carbonated which really makes it feel like im drinking more of a juice then an energy drink. Overall I would not purchase this product again as I found the taste to be awful. I did enjoy other flavour varieties of this drink but this was a miss for me.
