Demon Killa Troppo Energy Drink
Translation: Demon Killa Troppo is Kiwi for Demon Killer Tropic.
That was just for all of you in the rest of the world who might care to read this.
Now that you understand the name, you can guess that Killa Troppo is Demon’s stab at the juice energy drink market. They’ve been working hard in New Zealand and Australia to establish themselves as an energy drink leader and they’re doing a good job, I must say and Killa Troppo is no exception.
Taste
Demon Killa Troppo tastes similar to Rockstar Juiced which is orange, mango, and passion fruit flavored. However, in the ingredients I see that apple and pineapple are thrown in there as well. Now listen closely…I’m a big fan of Rockstar Juiced, but Demon Killa Troppo is better! Did you hear me? Yes, a small company from little ol’ New Zealand has beaten an energy drink giant like Rockstar.
Ingredients
The one fault I have with juiced drinks is the use of sucralose (splenda) in them. Killa Troppo has none, it is just sweetened by the fruit juice and plain sugar! No wicked after taste and the right amount of sweetness. Along with the 60% juice you get 140mg of caffeine, taurine, glucuronolactone, inositol, B2, B5, B6, and B12.
Effect
Despite the “parental advisory”, Demon Killa Troppo energy drink won’t send you soaring by any means unless you’re a light weight. However, it does offer a nice pick-me-up if you need something to get you through the afternoon or a long road trip.
Verdict
If you’re a fan of tropical juice, you’ll love Killa Troppo and although I paid $3.40 for the can at the dairy, Demon often has great deals on their products at the super markets.
Way to go Demon Killa Troppo! You just replaced my number one go to drink in NZ, which used to be Rockstar Juiced…..

Hmm, never been much of a fan of citrus (other than lemon & lime) energy drinks, or tropical energy drinks. Though I do try every energy drink I can, so if I see it I’ll probably try it out.
@Nick- Are you in Oz?
Oh, no, lol, I completely read over where it said it was a NZ company. To be honest I usually skip the top part and only read taste till I get what flavor it is.
That sounds like a delicious combination!! Man, I wanna try it now so bad. Hmmm. Maybe instead of ordering it online, I should just plan a trip for New Zealand.
