Can Text:

The can is bright pink with yellow and orange text. It proudly states 0 Carbs 0 Sugar! All Of The Energy None Of The Sugar!! XS has only 8 calories and is a Cranberry-Grape blast.

Active Ingredients *Per can, not per serving:
XS uses 'high-powered adaptogenic herbs, mixed with b-vitamins, and key amino acids' along with some caffeine to give you a 'rocket powered lift'. B-vitamins indeed, this 8.4 oz can has 300% of your daily value of B6, and 4900% of B12. Wow!

The soda was pink!! I love that. It was a nice change from the hum drum yellow soda. Little things like that make all the diference to me. I agree with Jason, it was a strong grape flavored drink, maybe a little strawberry, but not much cranberry flavor.

I was not very thrilled by this energy drink. I don't feel like I got much out of it, maybe that's because I really had to force that last bit down. Don't get me wrong, I love grape juice, but this wasn't like regular grape juice. It was very heavy and not very energizing or thirst quenching. Usually I complain about the small 8.4 oz drinks, but in this case I was glad to be done with it.

Jason's Review:
Finally, a lo-carb energy drink that tastes like something fruity, and not like crap. The lack of artificial sweetener aftertaste is likely the most important to me, and is normally most recognizable in sodas that are supposed to taste like a fruit. The XS Cranberry Grape Blast tastes like grape mostly to me, not a lot of cranberry. I'm happy either way. Grape sodas taste good, and with only 8 calories, 0 carbs, 0 sugars, and only 24mg of sodium, this may be the perfect health enthusiasts energy drink. My friend Ryan gave me one of these to try, he's pretty health conscious, and buys them by the case.

I was energized and feel that 4900% of my daily B12 may have had something to do with it. The soda also seemed to have a good deal of caffeine.

The only place XS gets beat up is on the price, the price isn't exact, as we took one can out of the case, to which Ryan didn't know the exact price, but estimated $26 for 12 sodas, which would be $2.16666... per can, which we rounded to a convenient $2.19. Either way, high by my approx. 8oz. soda standards.

Great taste. Like the fact it has very little caffeine in it. lots of vitamins. Slight carbonation. If price was a little lower, I would give it a rating of 10

this flavor XS Energy sucks but some of the other flavors aren't that bad

the drinks are great, the mental altertness you get from it is great also. the bad thing is you can only buy through Quixtar, which is a pyramid type of scam and they mark the price way above what its worth. lower the price by about 75 cents and i'll consider drinking more. greg francis is fake, don't buy into his bull, he's in it for himself ONLY!!!

XS Energy is an awesome product. There are also 12 different flavors which none of the competitors offer. Also, the retail price is only 2.00 Retail and wholesale about 1.75. It doesn't make you crash like the other energy drinks so you don't need to keep drinking them to stay energized. Taste them all and then come back and rate it.

Yes, its a good drink, but there are other drinks out there that are coming to the market that are cheaper and have the same health factors and same effects. . .. $2 for a drink is way to much, especially when these other drinks are closer to a $1 . . . . Plus i would agree with the pyramid crap.. there was a study done that only 1% of people that join MLM type business only make it the financial level they tell you and not to mention they do it off of other losing money and going farther in debt. For what? a product that isn't that much better than what is sold in store for cheaper and more convenient .... sorry its a bunch B.S.

XS energy has the best I have ever tasted. With 12 flavors, XS is taking the market by storm. After drinking, I got my own marketing rights for this products. (Plug for an Amway/Quixtar/whatever they're calling it these days removed)

XS is a great energy drink they taste like what they say, what a concept! Unlike the other energy drink I've tasted this is far the best and they have 12 other flavors and I hear they are coming out with another flavor. Orange Cream Soda Awesome.
