When talking to the customer service woman at Damzl Girl, they wanted to make aware of one important fact – this drink was not made for me. Even in big bold letters on the top they proclaim that this drink is “not for dudes!” So in the spirit of fairness, I passed along the drink to my fellow writers and examiners, to get a female take on this drink. For all who are interested, I just want to point out that this drink tastezs great – even for guys, and they can be found online at damzlfuel.com if they are not in your area. Unlinke Rip-It chic, This drink promised and delivered a fantastic and unique drink that I hope will catch on.
From Elisa – the Denver Parenting Examiner:
Let me start by saying, I’m not an energy drink person – I drink coffee by the pot and energy drinks just don’t seem to do the trick for me. Not to mention, most of them taste gross – metallic and way too sweet and just nasty. So I might not be the best person to review an energy drink, but since I’m pretty fond of your regular reviewer, I agreed to try out Damzl for him.
To my surprise, I liked it. The marketing , especially the aggressively pink can and the riot grrl spelling, is entertaining. Better than that, it tastes really good – light and crisp and pleasant. It’s tasty and easy to drink.
It didn’t have as much of a kick as I would have liked, and it took a while to set in, but I think both of those things are because my usual cold caffeine drink is an iced triple shot Americano. I also experienced a considerable crash both times I tried it.
Anyway, my feeling about Damzl is this: while I’m personally going to stick with my americanos, this is the best energy drink I’ve ever tried. I imagine that for energy drink consuming types this one is a great way to go.
From Brit – The Denver Women’s Examiner:
I’m no biker chick, but when it comes to sittin’ on my bum in front of a computer all day, I have no choice but to take it to the extreme. Even though I’m not getting my face dirty or cutting those elbows open, I need just as much as femme fuel as any other bad ass lady. And when 3 p.m. on a Friday rolls around, you better believe I dash for my second Starbucks of the day. Not this past friday! I instead cracked open a can of Damzl Fuel. Aside from the odd after taste that lingers and lingers … the sweet, girly taste and surly surge of energy that lasts all the way into the night is well worth it. You can count the calories on one hand and the no sodium factor is fantastic. If you’re planning on going on a date, make sure the dude can live up to your energy, or else you’ll find yourself banging your hands on the table at dinner telling him how boring he is. Ahem, that happened to me. Overall, Damzl Fuel is dangerously delightful. Give me another.
From Michelle – The Beauty on a Budget Examiner:
Buzz/nutrition: 5
I liked how it had a lot of vitamin B6 and Niacin which is good for your skin and helps promote scalp circulation. But it would have been nice if it had some Calcium which is also an important nutrient for women. And Biotin which helps prevent graying and hair loss. After 30 minutes I didn’t feel really energetic?? I don’t’ consume too much caffeine so the buzz was pretty mediocre.
Packaging: 7
I like the packaging soley because it’s PINK 😉 I think everything PINK sells. Kind of like the new “Rated X” liquor Bottle. Its pink and sexy bottle makes you want to buy it immediately regardless of taste. The “Not for Dudes” print is quite interesting. If would help prevent my husband from going in the fridge and stealing a couple of my energy drinks.
Taste: 7
Taste pretty good, if you don’t’ mind the artificial sugar tastes (I LIVE off of splenda.) Reminds me of Diet Cherry 7-up or those “smarties’ candies. Yum
You know what would be awesome? Danzl engerylicious flavoured lip gloss. As you lip it from time to time you get a quick energy buzz. Now your energetic AND with shiney lips!!!!
