Can Text:
Finally, another can that breaks new ground. A foil cover is placed over the mouth contact portion of every can of rip it chic to protect your face from all the rat feces and other nasties to which the lid of a soda can is typically exposed. Since I'm slightly OCD, this cover scored major points with me. Granted, I still cleaned the top, as the foil itself could be dirty, I felt good that rip it was trying. The rest of the can is totally glam, it scream feminine, but not in a "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Way", but more in a "Just a Girl" way. Speaking of which, I miss Gwen Stefani's baggy pants and tank top days. A lavender to silver fade, with some Jem and the Hologramish graphixxx complete the ensemble. The ingredients are incredibly hard to read, so bear with me if I get some of the active ingredients wrong.
Active Ingredients *Per can, not per serving:
Vitamin C 90mg, B6 3mg, Folate 600mcg, B12 9mcg, Taurine 1500mg, Caffeine 150mg (nice), Inositol 150mg, Guarana seed extract 12mg.
Angie's Review: Reviews posted after May 2007 are written by a guest reviewer referred to from this point forward as "The Stig".
Firstly, prepare for Jason to go on and on about National Beverage Company, and how they are n00bs, and always will be. That being said, this drink is amazing. Tart wildberry flavor, no fake sweetener aftertaste, no purple teeth, clean lid cover, and a rawkin' 150mg of caffeine. Besides the fact that they overpriced it by about $1, it's top of the pops in my book.
The taste really is good for a 0 calorie drink. You could probably convince me that this is sweetened with sugar. The flavor causes a little tingle in the back of the throat (the area from which one should say "Ni"). The taste is refreshing, and I had no problem making short work of this while it was still iced cold. I stayed energized for a while, and based on my research, for good reason. This contains about 2 shots of espresso worth of caffeine.
The price is just ridiculous, I'm not sure if you remember this guys, but you make Faygo. And, before you get too full of yourself, and your $2.19 fancy foil top can; remember, ICP comes with a hat full of tricks, trunk full of faygo, car full of fat chicks! Those are hot skinny "chics" with foil covers, those are genuinely obese girls. The kind of girls that can't, in good conscience, describe themselves as having "Some extra baggage" on their myspace profile (but they do anyway, and focus on taking headshots at arm's length for their profile photo).

3Jason's Review:
Well, for anyone who has a "Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks", "Support your Local Skateshop", or "Visualize Whirled Peas" bumper sticker, don't buy Rip It products. *Jason begins assembling his soap box* We reviewed Rip It Energy Fuel Power over 2 years ago. We gave it a great review. I was so impressed, I invested in National Beverage Company (makers of Rip it, and yes, Faygo). Soon thereafter, searches for "Rip it Energy" on Google returned our reviews as top ranking. National Beverage sent me samples of their two new flavors to review, everything was looking good. All the sudden, Jim Cramer plugs the company on "Mad Money", stock goes crazy, and everyone's magically optimistic about the company that's been sub-mediocre with its Faygo brand for about 100 years. Out of the blue, I read about the "Chic" line making waves at a convenience store convention. "Excellent", I think to myself, "I'll email and get a couple to help Faygo plug another drink, all for the price of sending me samples." It quickly became obvious as to why National Beverage was, and always will be, a generic drink manufacturer. After helping them gain exposure (a year before they were getting any press coverage), I was transferred from my usual (and very pleasant) contact at National Beverage, to the marketing director, and ultimately never even received a response, as a stockholder and energy drink reviewer, for my request for 2 cans, yes, 2 cans of the Chic flavors to evaluate before the products hit the shelves. Needless to say, shortly thereafter I was no longer a shareholder of National Beverage Corp.
Now that I'm done whining like a school girl with a scraped knee and doused drawers, I can share my accolades for Rip it Chic Energy. The taste is amazing, very refreshing, despite it being completely sugar free. The top cover is nice, and reminds me of the foil on top of fancy yogurt.
The caffeine and taurine content are impressive, and the energy blend as a whole worked for me. I did of course feel queer carrying this can around, not so flaming as when I drank Go Girl or Damzl, but on a scale of 1 to Freddy Mercury, I'd say I felt about a Neil Patrick Harris.
The price is my only other qualm, while this is a good energy drink, it's not worth $2.19. After all, it's still Faygo. It's a good drink, and my personal politics will not affect my review, but will hinder me from ever buying any more Rip it energy drinks.

I just got Chic from a small shop in downtown. I saw the can and thought it was sweet. So of course that made me pick it up and turn it over for the carb and calorie count. Which got me excited haha 0 and 0. Thats awesome plus its sugar free. I love the foil lid also. THE BEST THING ABOUT IT IS THE SHOP I BUY FROM SELLS THEM FOR 3 FOR A DOLLAR! WHAT A FREAKIN DEAL!

I love Rip It Chic!! One of the best tasting Energy drinks! On the down side, it's really hard to find. I stocked up at a discount store and haven't been able to find it again in months. Edited by Jason: I used to have a lot of contact with National Beverage, the guys that make Rip it. Most emails I get about their products are from people in the armed forces. I think National Beverage is far more concerned with their military/army contracts than the general public or maintaining a cordial relationship with us :)

I Love this energy drink!!! but i'm pretty upset because everywhere I go doesn't haven't it. What is that? anyway it tastes great and if you don't want anything too hardcore then this is a good drink!

I have tried it and its good for a womanly energy drink, as a guy I still find it amazing! I have tried a couple of Rip It products and this is one of the best. I like the price at discount stores and its worth it, plus it gives me lots of energy.They also have a cinnamon flavor and its pink!

i didn't like Rip it Chic. it is one of those drinks where its fine going down but once you stop there is a lingering nasty aftertaste. And just like cough syrup it felt like there was something sticky clinging to the back wall of my mouth that wasn't washing down. After a few more swigs (i never said it wasn't bearable) i poured the rest out.

i love this stuff! tastes clean - clear - kinda tastes like the light lavender color that it is - pour it out to see the slightest tint of lavender and you will know that's why it tastes like it does. and Very Hi Taurine content for the slim can size. Read some complaints about the price and the foil over the top - umm, well, my local discounts store sells it for 60 cents a can, so I been buyin it by the case! And the prob I have with the foil is that it peels off in small strips rather than all at once, but I love it so I will Get Over it!

I am hooked on Rip it chic, now I cannot find them in the stores or online.
