![]() ![]() It is a wholly generic trilogy of fruits, but there is a reason why this blend is bottled so often- it tastes good. UpTime is a citrus cocktail at heart, a traditional tasting blend of orange, lemon and lime, something that the can claims and my tongue verifies. It beats around the bush calling itself an energy drink, because that is what it is, instead saying silly things like "energy supplement" instead of the more traditional declaration, but with a design as unique as this, I will let it slide. Got another drink from the Wired (or is it Wired X) collection today.This tall black can is formidable, a heft that feels great in your palm with a pleasant matte finish. This time it is their ultra caffeinated energy drink. This is Wired X 344 mg Caffeine.ģ44 milligrams of caffeine are in this can. For the anti energy drink people out there, this might seem worse than a Monster.įor perspective, a single can of Monster only has 160 mg per can. Monster and other energy drinks mostly get their energy stuff from B Vitamins and things like ginseng extract. This version of Wired wants to see how a can full of caffeine works for us. I’m interested since too many B Vitamins leads to having some massive stomach aches later. Does that mean the flavor is going to be orange? I highly doubt it to be honest. ![]() Wired’s B Vitamin one tasted like a regular energy drink rather than anything green. If this was supposed to have a flavor, it probably would have said something. ![]() That might actually be a good thing that this doesn’t have any flavoring because the passion fruit one still goes down as one of the worst things I’ve ever tried for this Blog.Īt the top of the can it says “triple caffeine.” That sounds kind of daunting at first, but I thought about it and I’m wondering what it means. Triple caffeine of what? The green Wired? Other energy drinks? It doesn’t really say. They are just making the “triple” act as a buzzword. I did compare the amount of caffeine in this to a Monster and it was roughly triple so I guess there is some merit to that. On the other side it says “massive caffeine massive energy.” I’d say so. It sort of stands out compared to the mostly black and blue energy drinks we see today. The only thing that sort of steals its thunder are those Monster Rehab drinks that have a sort of sunburst design. I’d say the sunburst is more appealing that matte orange with random black lines all over the can. Are they supposed to be wires? Orange, to me, just isn’t that appealing on its own. If this was orange and aqua maybe I’d dig it more, but it isn’t. So, let’s jump into the nutrition facts and ingredients. Let’s see what makes this so caffeinated.ġ10 calories. Like I said, this is trying to focus more on caffeine rather than B Vitamins. B12 is still pretty high all things considered. Thinking about that, this is sort of unique for energy drinks. Most focus on blends of B Vitamins but none really pump up the caffeine content this high. Well, way to think outside the box, Wired.Ĭarbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, citric acid, taurine, potassium citrate, caffeine, sodium benzoate, caramel color, inositol, natrual and artificial flavor, potassium sorbate, niacinamide, white tea extract, guarana seed extract, d calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, yellow 5, cyanocobalamin. Well, the caffeine comes from added caffeine, white tea, and taurine I suppose. Oh man, the warning is a bit grim! It says something along the lines of too much caffeine makes people irritable, overly anxious, have rapid heart beats, and “other health issues.” Oh boy! This sounds really safe! Taurine carries caffeine according to this little box below the ingredients. You see there was a yellow 5 dye in this so maybe it is supposed to be orange flavored. It looks a tad darker than your standard energy drink actually. You might mistake this as beer from a distance actually. ![]()
