by Chris Sweda
Here at snack attack, we are constantly looking for new ways to help you, the consumer. One of our new weekly posts is called “is it worth it”. Today, we will look at Red Bull and it’s counterpart Exclusive Energy.
Ingredients: Carbonated Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Citric Acid, L-taurine, Sodium Citrate, Flavors & Color, Caffeine, Glucuronolactone, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Guarana Seed Extract, Panax Ginseng Extract, Niacinamide, Inositol, L-carnitine, Pyridoxine, Hydrochloride, Calcium Pantothenate, Cyanocobalamin
Exclusive Energy Company was started in 2008 and is based out of Southern California. Their C.E.O and his family started Exclusive Energy when they realized there was so much that could be done to improve the taste, look and overall feeling from energy drinks. Some problems that were found with other energy drinks were a bad aftertaste and a crash effect. Team Exclusive worked hard with flavor houses until they had created the smoothest tasting energy drink on the market today! I decided to put this to the test. I compared exclusive energy to Red Bull, a leading energy drinkin the market. I have to say I was surprised. Exclusive energy had the same flavor of the Red Bull without the aftertaste and a crash effect that Red Bull can have sometimes. Exclusive energy further amazed me with the fact that I got the 16 FL OZ can at my local 99cent store. A can of Red Bull goes for about $3.00 or more, so you’re looking at a savings of $2.01 for a product that taste and does exactly what a Red Bull does.

Sorry for the brief period of silence but Snack Attack will now go back to our regularly scheduled reviews of food, drink and convenience store mayhem,
Our first victim of this year is Twix Java. My first experience with this product was at this year;s Comic Con international. I had some snacks I had picked up from a local convenience store and Twix bars are fantastic to have around. In my deluded hunger, I rushed to open this delectable morsel while waiting for the next panel.
It looked good; a chocolate covered bar with a strong coffee smell. Then I bit into it. It was the worst thing I have ever put in my mouth; well one of the worst. It was like eating day old coffee grounds that were disguised in rich milk chocolate. I don’t care what people say but not everything is good dipped in chocolate. I tried to wash the bitter taste down with some of my energy drink but it just worsened.
The average person will pay about two dollars for this limited edition snack and I have to say “Good Ridance to bad rubbish!” They could not pay me to eat this stuff again. Next time just follow Kit Kat’s example and leave the coffee to the coffee people.
