I love Bawls. From the unique packaging that makes me think all sorts of naughty ribbed references, to the way the 0 calorie drink still manages to taste like pudding – this drink rocks. All of their products rock, and if I had my wish, I would find the ultimate convenience store that also would sell Cherry Bawls and that Bawls Slurpee they have on their site. I even have a hard time throwing the cool bottles away. This drink is going after my market – and it works very very well. Teaming up with thinkgeek to sell product gives them some ache, and sponsoring a big paintball tournament with their pylons looking like bawls makes them even cooler.Nor am I the only one who has a hard time getting rid of the bottles. Check out here for a really cool video of an automatic light from hackaday, and the lamp above was from a flickr photostream. From links I have seen ,they also have the cherry flavor in a can that changes colors, just to countereffect the fact that it is in a boring 16oz shape.

BUZZ/Nutrition:7
Not a whole lot of caffeine here – even though the label advertises as such. It touts Extremely high caffeine content, but energyfiend.com does not list their content any higher than 62mgs. Nice buzz for about 2 hours, then needing more supplements to keep going. No taurine, no B or C or any of that nutrition-that-is-not-really-anything vitamins in here – just caffeine and taste. The Caff was guarana as well, so the natural caffeine kept the energy coming slowly, and I felt no crash -just my usual sleepy self…

Packaging:10
Don’t need to expound much more – very very very nice. It feels so naughty, but still safe for work, as opposed to THIS ONE HERE

Taste: 9
No sour, no aftertaste and a sweet non sticky pudding flavor. When you are just wanting something super tasty, this one is far far superior over most I have tried. I cant wait to try out the other flavors…
