Entropy Energy Drink
I am about to go to a family event and I wouldn’t mind getting a little boost since I only got five hours of sleep last night.
As usual I waltz over to my fridge and snag a beverage for my energy needs. Upon the retrieval of said beverage that was sent to me from Zing9 Enterprises, I sit down at my desk and begin to inspect the label.
The name reads as Entropy (original flavor). The can claims that it is “scientifically formulated to help promote metabolism, endurance, and support brain function.” Sounds like a plan to me, but can Entropy Energy Drink deliver the goods? We shall soon find out.
Taste
Upon the opening of this 8.4 oz. can of Entropy, I am hit with a somewhat putrid stench. Entropy literally smells like spoiled cold cut turkey. Somewhat taken aback, I proceed to take the first sip. To my dismay, it is extremely sour and very carbonated, accompanied by an odd mixture of apple juice and lemon while finishing with a pale “diet” aftertaste. It’s too sour and carbonated to drink, yet too rancid smelling to sip. Argh!
Entropy Energy Drink Ingredients
Entropy has a somewhat interesting list of ingredients. Of course the first one to touch upon would be the caffeine, which only clocks in at 60mg. The one that caught my eye though is a little something called Resveratol (10mg), which is the famed staple component of red wine. Entropy also contains 80mg of Green Tea, 100mg of L-Carnitine, 120mg of Ginkgo Biloba (a personal favorite), 100mg of Panax Ginseng, 450mg of Acai Extract, as well as 300mg of Guarana Extract, various B Vitamins and 50 mg of Vitamin C.
Effect
I feel a bit more awake, but that is about it. This is a morning cup of coffee level boost and if I wanted that, I’d drink a cup of coffee instead of having to choke another one of these down again.
Entropy Verdict
I honestly don’t have anything to praise besides the name. Entropy tasted quite foul and barely gave me a passable kick. I now know what it is like to dine in Energy Drink Hell, because I had chug Entropy lukewarm just to get it down.

Five hours of sleep? Big deal, I get 5 hours of sleep every night, and I don’t drink any of that stuff, not even coffee. Damn spoiled generation.
Thanks for the input. Now feel free to leave since you don’t partake in the consumption of energy drinks or coffee (which also makes me wonder why you are even browsing this site) and you only want to point out the differences in our sleep schedule (which vary in need from person to person). Also, anyone from 18 to 80 (exaggeration implied) can benefit from an energy boost. It is hardly a generational issue (along with sleep patterns).
If you don’t drink any of this “stuff” or even coffee, why did you even read the article,or even come here and click on an article in the first place?
60 mg of caffeine seems sort of weak for an “energy drink” when you can get that from 2 cans of Coke.
I bought a couple cans of this stuff for a road trip, and honestly thought they had all spoiled somehow after opening them. The smell is really as bad as described, I thought I’d got a bad batch but if they’re all like that, I guess I know to avoid them from here on out.
I don’t have any problems with the smell and the taste isn’t bad. It doesn’t have any sugar, so it’s not going to be sugary sweet. If you want that, go get Monster or one of the other sugar infested energy drinks.
The energy boost I get is good. It’s at least as good as Red Bull.
No sugar. No carbs. Good energy boost. I’ll take all of that over something better tasting any day of the week.
I am a third shifter and 50-50 this stuff with ice water and it works smoother (no crash or jitters) and works better than anything I have tried in 22 years. Watered down it tastes like gatorade which is quite tolerable and even grows on you.
