I can sort of taste the sweetness with a slight citrus tang to it, but it has two things working against it. This almost tastes like a normal energy drink at this point. It is like looking out a dirty window and seeing someone you might know since it checks all the boxes on the description of that person, but you’re just not sure it is them still. Thankfully, the middle part of the taste offers some sort of brevity from the medicine flavor. It actually tingles sort of like needles on my tongue. It is well masked by that medicine flavor. It is so sharp that it makes me completely forget about the cool carbonated water taste that is just sort of there. There’s also a sweetness looming over that medicine scent, but the two don’t really work well together.įirst sip my tongue is assaulted by that medicine taste from the B Vitamins. What makes me sure it isn’t is that there’s tiny bubbles from the carbonation which beer wouldn’t have. You might mistake this as beer from a distance actually. It looks a tad darker than your standard energy drink actually. You see there was a yellow 5 dye in this so maybe it is supposed to be orange flavored. Oh man, the warning is a bit grim! It says something along the lines of too much caffeine makes people irritable, overly anxious, have rapid heart beats, and “other health issues.” Oh boy! This sounds really safe! Taurine carries caffeine according to this little box below the ingredients. Well, the caffeine comes from added caffeine, white tea, and taurine I suppose. Well, way to think outside the box, Wired.Ĭarbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, citric acid, taurine, potassium citrate, caffeine, sodium benzoate, caramel color, inositol, natrual and artificial flavor, potassium sorbate, niacinamide, white tea extract, guarana seed extract, d calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, yellow 5, cyanocobalamin. Most focus on blends of B Vitamins but none really pump up the caffeine content this high. Thinking about that, this is sort of unique for energy drinks. B12 is still pretty high all things considered. Like I said, this is trying to focus more on caffeine rather than B Vitamins. Let’s see what makes this so caffeinated.ġ10 calories. So, let’s jump into the nutrition facts and ingredients. If this was orange and aqua maybe I’d dig it more, but it isn’t. Are they supposed to be wires? Orange, to me, just isn’t that appealing on its own. I’d say the sunburst is more appealing that matte orange with random black lines all over the can. The only thing that sort of steals its thunder are those Monster Rehab drinks that have a sort of sunburst design. It sort of stands out compared to the mostly black and blue energy drinks we see today.

On the other side it says “massive caffeine massive energy.” I’d say so.

I did compare the amount of caffeine in this to a Monster and it was roughly triple so I guess there is some merit to that. They are just making the “triple” act as a buzzword. Triple caffeine of what? The green Wired? Other energy drinks? It doesn’t really say.

That might actually be a good thing that this doesn’t have any flavoring because the passion fruit one still goes down as one of the worst things I’ve ever tried for this Blog.Īt the top of the can it says “triple caffeine.” That sounds kind of daunting at first, but I thought about it and I’m wondering what it means. If this was supposed to have a flavor, it probably would have said something. Wired’s B Vitamin one tasted like a regular energy drink rather than anything green. Does that mean the flavor is going to be orange? I highly doubt it to be honest. I’m interested since too many B Vitamins leads to having some massive stomach aches later.

This version of Wired wants to see how a can full of caffeine works for us. Monster and other energy drinks mostly get their energy stuff from B Vitamins and things like ginseng extract. For the anti energy drink people out there, this might seem worse than a Monster. For perspective, a single can of Monster only has 160 mg per can. This is Wired X 344 mg Caffeine.ģ44 milligrams of caffeine are in this can. This time it is their ultra caffeinated energy drink. Got another drink from the Wired (or is it Wired X) collection today.
