I’m probably going to pass out any moment here from the heat, but before my internal organs fry and my body shuts down, let me tell you about Citrus CRUNK!!! As I said earlier, its pretty hot here, so I picked up Citrus CRUNK!!! because it claims to contain real lemon lime. Hopefully, this will taste like lemonade and cool me off. After buying this drink at the local BP, I noticed something odd about the top half of the can. It reads “Energize - Replenish - Stimulate - Refresh - Invigorate - Arouse”. Yes. You read that correctly, Citrus CRUNK!!! has Epimedium in it, which allegedly has the properties of a mild aphrodisiac. Strange. The bottom of the can lists some of the ingredients, including “Ashwaganda - Horny Goat Weed - Ginseng - Guarana - Skull Cap - White Willow”. Now, is it just me, or do “Skull Cap” and “White Willow” sound like street names for drugs? (don’t worry, they’re not drugs, just plants) Nevertheless, I am going to drink this. Pop the top and it smells just like Gatorade Lemonade, and it keeps its promise with its twist of lemon lime. It’s a little on the sour side, but it tastes fantastic! It’s also great for you because there are no artificial colors or preservatives. The can states that the energy blend consists of 97mg of caffeine, but doesn’t state is it’s per serving or can. There’s two serving per can, so I’m guessing that there is 194mg of caffeine in the entire can. So far, Citrus CRUNK!!! is doing quite well in my opinion. The taste, smell, and kick are everything I could ask for. As for the aphrodisiac, I doubt there’s enough Horny Goat Weed in this to do anything (if it actually does anything at all) as last I checked, Pfizer has yet to acquire CRUNK!!! Energy. Either way, Citrus CRUNK!!! really hits the spot, especially on a hot day!

AriZona Lite Green Tea Lemonade
It seems like AriZona Beverages is constantly adding new products to their lineup. This happens to be the case with AriZona’s new Lite Green Tea Lemonade, and according to the information on their site, there is an Arnold Palmer variation (much like the Arnold Palmer 1/2 Iced Tea 1/2 Lemonade Product) so it seems that AriZona may have replaced the Iced Tea Lemonade with Green Tea Lemonade. Nevertheless I am quite pleased with this product as even with only 22.5mg of caffeine what it lacks in caffeine it makes up in taste. The taste does seem to lean more towards iced tea then it does towards green tea, although this may be due to the lemonade in it. An easy way to sum up the taste of this product would be to compare it to Lipton Brisk or Nestea, basically it is just a lemony iced tea. Even though this product lacks originality, the fact that it contains 1/3 the calories (and it does contain less sugar) in addition to its low cost of 99¬¢ for 24oz. will appeal to many people. So if you are looking for a healthier, more natural (AriZona does not use preservatives and uses all natural flavoring unlike its competitors) and certainly cheaper alternative to Brisk and Nestea, AriZona Lite Green Tea Lemonade will hit the spot.
