They arrived today! This is the moment I’ve been waiting for since I learned of the existence of such drinks. The pair cost me £16, which is a rich amount for 2 cans of drink, but I’m sure it’ll be worth it.
I’m sure all you readers are in as much intense anticipation as I am, and I’m actually going to review it as I drink it. So if I wig out and start typing random death threats, you’ll know why.
First off, the cans:
The cans are a lot bigger than I thought they would be, being used to energy drinks in this country. These cans are verging on beer can size, as illustrated in the photograph below.
Yeah, I know I could have figured out how big they are without actually having held one, but those damn Yankees and their fluid ounces. When will they learn?
Next, the taste:
I’ll start with Asian Experience, since I can’t imagine how many different kinds of awesome it is going to be.
Okay, here goes…
Well, I don’t know what to write. I have a huge grin on my face and I’m not sure why. The taste is indefinable. It tastes like someone has made an energy drink from various asian berries and such. It’s not entirely unpleasant, but it does have a petrol sort of taste to it. And rightly so! After all, this is the fuel that powers a man in his 50’s to make several action films a year, go on a world tour for his second album, and countless other things besides.
I’m now about halfway through the can (it’s supposed to contain 2 servings, and I’ll be fair, I’ve had enough, so that’s pretty accurate) and I’m getting some odd stomach pains. It’s all part of the transformation into a limb breaking, film making, blues singing, sex machine in the style of the main man, Steven Seagal.
Now I’m about ¾’s of the way through, and I’m belching like a champion. On the plus side, I feel like I’ve got energy enough to snap a few limbs. I am actually sitting here at my desk bursting at the seams with energy.
I’ve just finished the Asian Experience can, and I’ll give it 10/10.
It is exactly what it says on the can. That being “A natural energy drink packed with vitamins and exotic botanicals”.#
It tastes better than Red Bull and its imitators, but still doesn’t taste nice.
I can genuinely recommend this drink, if you've got £15 laying around and want an Asian Experience, this is the way to go. Unless of course you can spring a little more cash and go to Nicoles Massage Parlour, then you can experience an Asian a little differently.
I'll review the second can when I feel upto it. My stomach is telling me to stop, and for once I'm going to listen.
