GazZu: The New BooKoo?
Gazzu, BooKoo? Sounds like something a 8 month old baby would say. At least it’s a better name than pussy.
Gazzu is a new energy drink made by the folks who make Bookoo. However Gazzu is sold exclusively at Circle K stores.
There are three flavors: regular energy (citrus), cherry and orange-mango.
Can design?
The GazZu logo and design combines a high-tech look with a retro feel to appeal to hip energy drink consumers, both male and female.
Any of you hip energy drink consumers tried this?
PS. Big thanks to Hobo for the pic.

What is Circle K?
I’m going to run the the Circle K tomorrow to give this a try. The bottle kind of reminds me of Halo and since I’ll be drinking this while playing Halo 3, it all comes together.
Circle K is a convenience/gas store.
Just picked mine up! They didn’t have it in on the shelves yet at circle K, so I pulled one out of the plastic wrap. It tastes totally different from any energy drink IVE had. Although I’ve never had Bookoo, so I couldn’t tell you if it tastes like that. When poured into a glass it’s a yellowish-green. I’m going to play some Halo 3 now.
Our local Circle K has had a 4 cans for $5 promo! Gazzu is light gold in color, has heavy carbonation and produces a fruity aroma! When you take that first sip you are greeted with a sour bite that shocks you a little bit and grabs the back of your tongue! GE has a slight aftertaste but it doesn’t last very long.
I just sampled the Orange Mango Gazzu and the green one is better IMO.
Gazzu has 80mg of caffeine per serving. And some Circle K divisions are going to run a BOGO this year, FYI. So look for that.
Hey Adam, just curious, where did you get that number from?
80mg is what I would have guessed – but Adam – where di d you source that from?
Adam works at BooKoo…Notice the industry lingo. Plus the regular Energy flavor is not Citrus…its a traditional flavor like Red Bull and BooKoo Bite. Although Bite is better. The Gazzu flavors are Traditional energy, Cherry, and Mango Orange. BTW BooKoo Products have 120 MG per 8oz serving. Found out from their Head Offices. Hope this helps.
So, one of you says 80mg per 8oz – and another one says 120mg per 8oz. Unfortunately we still haven’t had a response back from.
This tastes exactly like bookoo but flatter. Same company, same drink. Probably it was the unsold bookoo remnants repackaged. Not good. monster or rockstar are stronger and better taste imo.
cheers
Can I order a case of this new drink from Circle K? We don’t have these stores in OHIO.
I have never tried BooKoo, but I get the Gazzu often because of the BOGO (Buy One Get One). I don’t get these for the flavors, but rather for the caffeine. I would guess that they have either the same as a monster or a little more. Reason being is that every so often I get really spacey after drinking it.
I have tried the the orange, cherry and default. I prefer the orange as it reminds me of a sherbet or some other orange food from my child hood. The cherry is a bit strong, like drinking a jolly rancher. The default (green can) is just ehh…

The (incredibly stupid) GAzZü Story:
I knew this GAzZü TM was something different, they tell me it’s a secret formula that’s used to make it. And the word is; it’s not from earth. I know this guy, who’s connected somehow, and he told me the secret ingredient is like Moon Dust, but they figured out how to grow it in these labs, like crystals. Man, this stuff is crazy, it tastes better than any Energy drink I’ve ever had. Awesome energy and taste that’s like ….. cosmic. It’s GAzZü !! Hey, gimme a G.

Review of the GAzZü Story:
Do they really think that we are children and a *crazy* story will entice us to buy it? I can understand a B-Movie but a (if I may) B-Story; none the less on a can?! I don’t know if they intended it to be stupid and illogical, but common “…he told me the secret ingredient is like Moon Dust, but they figured out how to grow it in these labs, like crystals.” Firstly they do understand that to “grow” crystals you must have same amounts of the mineral as in the resulting crystal. Forget not the Law of Conservation of Matter. Secondly, do they even understand the components of Lunar Soil? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_soil Oh wait that’s great continue to add silicon and aluminum to your drink… mmm can’t wait long enough for my Alzheimer’s disease with a hint of autoimmune diseases. “Hey, gimme a G.”
*Note: This review is satire. There is no evidence of GAzZü containing aluminum, silicone, or any other ingredients besides those listed in the comment above.
I’ve tried all three and I’m actually drinking the orange as I’m typing this. The green is alright (my friend says it has a taste analogous to drinking a Monster), the cherry just tastes like cherry starburst, and the mango orange tastes like orange soda. Of the three, I recommend the mango orange. The 4 for 5 promo at circle K is a pretty good deal, if you haven’t tried one already then pick one up.
Why only sale them at circle k’s i love these drinks and the closest k i can get to is a hour and a half away
Does anyone know where I can find the bookoo 16oz wild berry. I have tried to get a hold of bookoo them selves but there web sight is all jacked up. I am a huge fan of the wildberry but can’t find it anymore.
Any suggestions?
Meghan
This stuff taste awesome. I look for it everytime im at a circle K!!! Give it a try!
