"An invigorating energy drink". Whoa! Let's not make any wild claims, perhaps you should tone that down to "A slightly uplifting tonic water".

The can is mostly white, with a little shiny thrown in for good measure. There's a bright blue and green tribal-like tattoo, which I'd most equate to a generic version of Bookoo's packaging.

I do appreciate that there's no motivational paragraph on the can that reads as though it should be on a poster with a mountain climber, across for all the marathon trophies in your sales manager's office.

Active Ingredients *Per can, not per serving:
An unspecified amount of taurine, and caffeine. As for vitamins, we have 100% B3, 250% B6, 80% B12, 50% B5. These figures are per serving, as there are 2 servings per can.

Angie's Review: Reviews posted after May 2007 are written by a guest reviewer referred to from this point forward as "The Stig".
I found the Dead Sea to be comparable in the ways of refreshment. With 320mg of sodium per can, you could use Blue Streak Sugar Free to cure ham. This wouldn't be as noticeable, except for the distinct lack of any other flavor. It tastes like ocean water, without the variety of the occasional fish turd, or dirty syringe.

I didn't finish all mine, because I wanted to save some to soak my contact lenses in. I imagine that with the paltry mix of energizing ingredients, and no sugar, I would have noticed a lot of difference (sarcasm).

All-in-all, this drink wasn't that bad, it was just bland, and ultimately forgettable. I will say, at $.89, it's still more than I expected to get for that price. I would recommend the original Blue Streak to anyone.

Jason's Review:
Something about this can makes me think of that xXx (triple X) movie with Vin Diesel. I'm not sure if it's the passe tribal tattoo, or how both are bland and unenergizing. I like to think it's a little of both, and I wouldn't mind seeing both get a naval ring and a pair of Ugs.

Interestingly, it did not make me think about Blue Streak the movie, featuring Martin Lawrence, Luke Wilson, Peter Greene, and Dave Chappelle.

There's not a lot to talk about on the flavor. There's enough to not seem offensive, and that's the extent of it. I honestly have debated that perhaps we got a shipment that missed the flavor squirter. Without question, it did not miss the salt dumper. I'm saving Blue Streak Sugar Free to de-ice my driveway this winter. Interestingly, even with all the sodium, it seemed pretty refreshing when iced cold (though, I discovered, temperature doesn't add flavor).

I didn't feel a whole lot, I'm afraid. I just laid there like a dead fish. It would be ok if Blue Streak had a nice car, or a house at the beach, but Blue Streak brings little of anything to the table.

$.89 is a whole new frontier for 16oz. energy drinks, I just wish a better energy drink had blazed that trail. This is not that great, but it's not that bad either. I've certainly had $2 drinks that were worse.

I found this stuff in a discount store for 1.50 for a 4 pack! I loved the stuff and find it very refreshing and thirst quenching. Went back and bought a bunch more!
