Xcelerator Diet Energy Drink
“Get faster”, “Speed up”, “Racing fuel for the human race”, “Faster, Faster, Faster”.
These hyper-speed one-liners adorn the can of Xcelerator diet and beg of you to realize the grave risk of hitting a speed bump while under its effects. Move over grandma, the fast lane is now reserved just for me!
Taste
Maybe it’s because of the graphics on the can, maybe it’s because the company is called Dead Red, but to me this drink tastes like the color red. No, I’m not referring back to days of eating crayons and attempting to discover new flavors with every hue. I’m just saying that if red had a flavor, this would be it. Cherry serves as the foundation, but it’s got an edge to it. Is it satisfying? Certainly!
Ingredients
Swimming amongst the carbonated water we have Vitamins B3, 5, 6, and 12 (150% B12). B3 and B5? That’s a little rare! You know what else is rare? 300mg of guarana. It’s hard to put a caffeine equation to that number, because it all depends on the concentration of the guarana used, but it’s impressive still. Caffeine is in the ingredients list, but the actual amount is not disclosed.
Energy
I tried merging into the fast lane after I consumed this product, but it wasn’t long before life starting tailgating me. This drink will offer a little encouragement, but not quite enough in my book.
Verdict
As a standard no-frills energy drink, this one will fit the bill. If you can find it, that is. I found this diet version all alone in a grocery store near me. Furthermore, their website seems to have been kidnapped by the 404 error (read: it no longer exists). Now, there’s one more quote on the can I didn’t mention. I’ve saved the best for last: “Serve chilled or at 100 MPH”
EXTREEEEEME!!!

Editor’s note: There’s a good chance this brand has tanked. So scarf it up while you can.
Wow I think they should have stuck with one or two slogans (“Faster, Faster, Faster”?). You know the economy is bad once it starts shutting down drinks with flames on the can lol
