Stephen Hawking tweets, "God wasn't necessary for the creation of the universe", which goes to prove, under the Obama administration, even the creator of the universes's job is in question. Hawking goes on to say, "Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing."
According to Hawking, that's six days God could have spent in Cancun, basking in on the white sandy beaches that gravity created.
I'm no scientist, but I've acquired this "Gravity" of which Hawking speaks so highly. Before my thirst got the better of me and I consumed it, Gravity failed to spontaneously create a single universe.Gravity is essentially Red Bull with an extra 2g of carbohydrates, some B3, B6, B12 and pantothenic acid. Gravity also has a touch of Hype's elderberry flavor, which is fitting, since Gravity doesn't at all live up Hawking's 'Creator of Galaxies' Hype.
Based on the promotional materials, I assume the real target market is clubs, where any overpriced Red Bull-like product will be mixed with Yagermeister and clamored over by ruttish college boys. Like Red Bull, it's too small, marginally affective and pricey to compete in a world of well-developed $2 16oz drinks.
This is a superior product to Red Bull, it tastes sweeter, and appears to have more active ingredients. So when you're 9 year old daughter finishes her "Starbucks" and asks for a Red Bull, be a good mother and give her Gravity instead, after all, it has those extra grams of simple sugars that a growing morbidly obese body needs.

What is there to say really? If you like Red Bull, you can buy this instead for the same price. Truthfully, the less lingering aftertaste, and slightly more appetizing initial flavor probably don't outweigh the "cool points" you'll gain with friends and family by just being part of the herd and drinking Red Bull.
Advertise HereThere are more "things" in here, the vitamins and the what-not, but I didn't notice any difference from Red Bull. Put a "Red Bull" label on this, and the only tangible difference is that you have an established brand that people are willing to waste inane amounts of money on. I'd like to say if Gravity were cheaper it would have a competitive advantage, but two things are noteworthy.
- The average consumer is stupid, and is vehemently resistant to deviating from the herd (with the notable exception of 'hipsters', who are still trying to convince themselves and the world that Pabst Blue Ribbon isn't piss water)
- There are already several Reb Bull rip offs that are super-cheap by comparison to the original (Plasma Fusion Energy, Roaring Lion, Power Trip The Extreme, ect.
As a reviewer, I don't penalize them for not being 'Red Bull', but just doing what Red Bull is doing means you can't be any better. To the general public, who does care immensely whether you're 'Red Bull', you're fighting an uphill battle on convincing them it's every bit as good as Red Bull, which it is. Even if you could get them to try it, the part of their brain that equates Red Bull with social acceptance will never let them admit it.

Gravity Energy Drink comes in a mostly red can with some yellowish swirlies. There are also some white dashes and Xs that look like football play patterns. The words "Gravity energy drink" are in yellow (Gravity) and white (energy drink) and the typeface is a comic-book-like font. The bottom reads, "8.4 FL OZ (250ml)". The back states, "+- Force -+ Attraction = Gravity energy drink". Then the motivational text reads, "GRAVITY ENERGY DRINK - Specially developed to energize and refuel your body and stimulate your brain power concentration. Not recommended for children,", like the 9 year old referenced in Jason's video review, "diabetics, and persons sensitive to caffeine."
