A few years ago, Nelly had a song called ‘Pimp Juice’ (hopefully the drink is better than the song). When it was released, many people weren’t quite sure what Pimp Juice was, but after reading this you’ll know; it’s basically Apple Juice. Pimp Juice comes in a 16oz can with a simple design of silver and gold and contains 10% fruit juice and 162mg of caffeine per can. After reading the ingredients of Pimp Juice and getting a whiff of the apple juice like smell, I figured that the drink would just taste like apple juice. However, I was wrong. Pimp Juice has a sour apple taste to it, not a normal apple juice taste like one might expect. The drink isn’t too sour, but it will catch you off guard at first if you aren’t expecting it. The drink is a neon green, the same color as Heavy Metal, and goes down well. The interesting thing about pimp juice that I like is that there’s no carbonation at all. Thus, this drink is really more of a Juice than a soda (I guess that’s why they chose ‘Pimp Juice’ over ‘Pimp Soda’). The fact that it’s not carbonated makes this drink easier to drink in a hurry, and does make this drink stand out with Rx Energy (which also has no carbonation). Pimp Juice also delivers a decent boost of energy and contains Guarana, Taurine, and, of course, Caffeine. The boost lasts for a decent amount of time, and it doens’t result in a huge crash either. I’ve never come across this drink in stores, but I know you can buy it at Xoxide Caffeine and at the Official Site. In addition, Nelly apparently sells it at his concerts and it’s supposedly big in the Hip-hop culture. Overall, Nelly’s Pimp Juice is certainly an interesting drink. With a nice boost, decent taste, and no carbonation, this is a drink that many people will enjoy. And yes, the drink is better than the song, at least in my opinion

Chinese RedBull
A while back, I was in the ‘China Town’ of my area. It wasn’t a city, but several stores in a shopping complex. I was browsing the stores and all of them seemed to by carrying this. I couldn’t resist the urge to buy several to try, so I bought some for around $1.99 I believe. This is real Red Bull, but the Chinese version of it. It’s not a knock off, or a gimmick; it’s official Red Bull! Check out the site http://redbull.com.cn and you’ll see I’m serious, also while you’re at the site check out the commercial they embedded, it has a guy drink Red Bull then jump up a building. As for the packaging, one side is all Chinese, where the other side contains some English.
Upon opening this, it smells just like normal Red Bull, it also has the same light yellow coloring. However, upon my first sip, I realized that this is in fact a distinct drink from the Red Bull you and I are used to! For starters, this drink is much sweeter it seems more watered down. The taste is almost fruity, think of Red Bull with more water and sugar, but still very tasty. I think the distinct taste comes from different additives, as this drink is labeled as a “Super Vitamin Drink”, unfortunately I cannot read the nutrition facts so I can’t say how many vitamins there are. The taste isn’t strong and the carbonation is low so I was able to drink it very fast, but the flavor was so good, I choose to sip the next one. As for the caffeine amount, I didn’t feel the urge to climb up a building like in the commercial, but I did feel its effects. I used Google translator to find that there are 50mg of 咖啡因 (caffeine) per can. This is indeed an oddity to come across, but I plan on buying more and would recommend this to others.
