I tried Charged by Thums Up, an energizer by the Coca-Cola Company!

Energy drinks are a common accompaniment to games, and even e-sports competitions are full of energy drinks. As an e-sports media, we need to review energy drinks from different countries, and this time we would like to share with you a review of Coca-Cola's energy drink "Charged by Thums Up," which we obtained in Vietnam.

Two flavors: Kiwi and Strawberry

Charged by Thums Up" comes in two flavors, Kiwi and Strawberry. The packaging is "Nice! " illustration with the words "Thums Up" and "Charged" underneath. Both are listed as caffeine, vitamin B3, and zinc (kẽm).

Test Strawberry flavor

I opened the bottle and started with Strawberry.

Toktoku...hmmm?

It's so red!

It's too red chocobo if you put it in a chocobo glass! I think I can use Choco Meteor.

What are the ingredients of the strawberry flavor?

The ingredients include natural wild strawberry flavor and caffeine (300 mg/l), making it a fruit-forward, high street energy drink. It seems to be a fruit-oriented energy drink, which is aggressive amidst the increasing number of zero-calorie and sugarless energy drinks.

I drank it right away. In a word, it is a very sweet carbonated strawberry juice! It is much sweeter than cola, so you can't drink it in small sips, so it might be suitable for people who play games for a long time.

Energy tasting kiwi flavor!

Next up is the Kiwi flavor, phew!

First, let's check the energy color. Toktoku...hmm? (For the second time)

This is... so green! The slime under the slime knight!

The nutritional value of the kiwi flavor is...

Hey, it's the same as the Strawberry... The only difference is that the ingredients are ginger kiwi flavor instead of wild strawberry flavor?

Anyway, I'll drink this one too. The drinkability is nicer and easier to take than the Strawberry flavor. But it's still a bit sweeter than the sugarless energy drinks. The kiwi flavor is strong, but not as sweet as strawberry, maybe kiwi is less sweet than strawberry?

This is my review of "Charged by Thums Up"! If you are interested in it, please give it a try!
