Rip It Energy - G Force

Now most of us here in the UK will not be familar with the rip it energy drink brand. I know I wasn't. Well let me blow your mind with some facts

IT COMES IN 15 FLAVOURS
IT'S VERY POPULAR WITH THE US ARMED FORCES
RIP IT IS PART OF THE NATIONAL BEVERAGES INC PORTFOLIO IN THE USA AND THEY ARE THE 4TH LARGEST SOFT DRINKS MANUFACTURER. THIS IS THEIR FIRST ENERGY DRINK BRAND
I LIKE SHOUTING AS IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE RIC FLAIR


I'm, as regular readers will know, a big fan of grape. GRAPE GRAPE GRAPE, i basically love me some grape drink (forever shortened to grink now). So I was properly bloody excited about this. Grape Energy Drink and here's the best bit it just really tastes of that american grape flavour. It's like Welches Grape soda but with the caffeine kick. There's something medicinal about it but in a way that if you've over indulged the night before you would genuinely think this will do me some good.

The only downside for me with this drink is it's not available on shop shelves. I would definitely bump this when pre-gaming (infact I enjoyed a can of this with some vodka recently and felt like an extra from Young Jeezy video, IN A GOOD WAY).

Ohh man it gets better. There's a sugar free version which hits as hard. Bosh. This gets a double seal of approval. One for the regular and one for the sugar free.

If you fancy getting your paws on this reach out to our good friends at American Fizz who can help you get your grink on

Graped Crusader

I need to get this off my chest. I love grape flavouring, like a stupid amount. I'm a bit of a fiend for it. On my last trip stateside I couldn't have been any happier drinking some welchs grape soda and also a disgusting sounding but brilliantly tasting powerade zero grape flavour.

So good. Yet here in the UK we never really do the grape thing. We can get Welchs juice happily enough but the soda is only on an import basis. Why is this? What's going on here? I NEED GRAPE FLAVOURED FIZZ AND I NEED IT WITHOUT THE INFLATED IMPORT PRICES

What are our options?
1) We can badger and annoy Welchs and see if they can bring the soda to the uk
2) You can pop into your tescos or sainsburys and go down the world food isle...


Yep you read that right. Go down the world food isle and actually look at the bottles of soda they have. They got dat grape. Bigga Grape. My god this stuff is fun. It's from Jamaica and it's making it's way around the UK with alarming pace. This stuff is good. Try it.

Anyone had any of the other bigga flavours? What's your favourite? Any other gems lurking down the world foods isle in your supermarket? Let us know
