Angie's Review: Reviews posted after May 2007 are written by a guest reviewer referred to from this point forward as "The Stig".
Kronik is unique because somehow they've managed to find an ingredient or combination of ingredients that tastes just like stinky pasty morning breath, and insist on using it in every energy drink. Their new flavor Grind has been added to the list of 'Horrible Aftertaste Drinks' along with Kronik and Kronik Low-Carb. Grind tastes exactly like Kronik. The only notable differences are a few less calories but three times the sodium. So what is it about a company that takes an already unappealing beverage and changes the colors on the label and markets it as a brand new product? Has the market been so saturated with new products that this trickery will go unnoticed?
Companies like Rockstar and Full Throttle are coming up with fabulously new drinks and flavors so fast its hard to keep up. Energy drinks are getting cheaper and more caffeinated all the time. Kronik did not give me much of an energy boost. I could barely play Difficult mode on DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) resulting in shame to my family's oriental heritage, and I can only perform Seppuku to restore our good family name. So for $1.99 I got stinky breath, shame, and the very teen targeted caution: 'Mom ain't gonna like this'. Unfortunately neither will you.

4Jason's Review:
This can has even more of an ECW feel than the original Kronik. I think the lightning bolts are more prominent too, so it has an AC/DC feel as well. The opalescence finish adds a touch of class. I mention this, as Kronik might be an early favorite for a 2007 "Coolest Packaging" award.
I have mostly good things to say about Kronik Grind, it's a pleasant tasting (Monster Energy-like) energy soda. I really only knock it (and many other drinks I've imbibed recently) for lack of originality. I can't blame drinks like The Beast for imitating Red Bull or almost every other energy drink copying Monster; these are established, successful brands. Give me more Fortify or Inko's White Tea, anything new and exciting.
That being said, I like the taste of Kronik Grind, as with Monster, you get breath that would knock a buzzard off a manure truck, so please, for the sake of those around you, have mints with you. This tastes fairly sweet, and 1 can contains about 20% of your daily carb allowance. Otherwise, it's also loaded with Vitamins, and appears to have a good deal of inositol (most cans don't list the amount of this, but Kronik shows 100mg per can), which may contribute to increasing your mood as well as energy level.
Fairly energizing, and pleasant to drink. At $1.99, I'd pick one up over the majority of drinks in a given store. I'd be more likely to pick up Rockstar Zero Carb for energy, but Kronik Grind tastes better.

This is my favorite energy drink, although I'm not a fan of Monster, there is something about this that sets it apart, 9.5 out of 10.
