Amp Sugar Free Energy Drink: New and Improved?

So, show of hands who wants a review of Amp Sugar Free?

Hmmm… alright. How about this: don’t raise your hand if you want the review. Commonnnn it’s got a new label and formula!

Ugh, ok… Simon says don’t raise your hand if you don’t want the Amp Sugar Free review. Raise your hand. HAH didn’t say Simon Says! You sucker, here’s the review.

Taste

For some odd reason, my first few sips tasted salty. Maybe it was because of the tears I cried. I adore the taste of the original Amp, I really do. It was the first energy drink I ever fell in love with and still holds a nostalgic value for me. So when I first tried the sugar free version and realized the original Amp taste was obliterated, it broke my heart.

The sucralose flavoring is not just riding backseat to the standard Amp taste as it should be. It’s taken the wheel and the Amp taste is tied up in the trunk.

Ingredients

The usual mediocre 160mg of caffeine is lurking around in New Amp Sugar Free along with an eyebrow-raising 252mg of guarana. 200% of your daily value of niacin, riboflavin, and pantothenic acid are standing in as the B-vitamin complex (those words just so happened to be vitamins B2, B3, and B5. The more you know).

Effect

Not all hope is lost, because this new sugar free version will give you as much energy as a standard Amp. Okay, correction, so most of the hope actually is lost.

Verdict

There’s two people that should be looking out for Amp sugar-free: diabetics who are a little short on sleep and the energy fiends who try everything without question. If you don’t fall into those two demographics, move along there’s nothing to see here.

“It was the first energy drink I ever fell in love with and still holds a nostalgic value for me.” lol It’s the same for me. You’d think they could make a pretty great diet version because of the great job they did on Diet Mountain Dew.

Try Amp’s Lemon flavored sugar free energy drink! It tastes infinitely better than the regular one reviewed here. If you like lemon or lemon/lime type sodas…this is the drink for you.

I’m not big on energy drinks packed with sugar. This amp energy drink is GREAT! It tastes very similar to gummy worms. I now refer to this energy drink as “Liquid Gummy Worms” – so, if you are a sour gummy worm fiend, ..I say give it a try!!

I LOVE this AMP – It is the first energy drink I really like the taste of. I have to force myself to only drink one can a day. I never thought about gummy worms but I guess I can taste that in it. I have never tried the regular AMP but I certainly will now – just to see how it can be so much better!?
