The challenges facing local news organizations are very real. That's why reader support matters more than ever. If you believe independent journalism matters, make a contribution today and help us reach our summer fundraising goal of $15,000 by August 9.
Since we started this “Caffiend” blog almost 18 months ago, we’ve tried tons of coffees, teas, energy drinks, and other caffeinated products. As we near our two-year anniversary, we took a look back at our reviews to see which items pumped us up the most. Here, in descending order, is a list of our “Top Ten Caffeinated Products“:
10. Coffee Rush’s Cherry Mocha Coffee: Sweet and creamy, this java gave us a severe sugar rush.
9. La Grande Orange’s Iced Chai Latte: A delicious blend of Darjeeling tea, ginger, spices, and vanilla.
8. Dutch Bros. ER-911: There’s a wallop of caffeine in this coffee (around 462 mg), making it one heck of a high-octane cup o’ joe.
7. Bawls G33K B33R: Who needs regular root beer when G33K B33R’s packing 100 mg of caffeine from Guarana?
6. Unlimited Coffee’s Black Eye: Slightly bitter, but that’s what happens when you put four killer shots of espresso in a drink.
5. M Power Energy Mints: These tasty peppermints provide a surprising — and substantial — energy boost.
4. 5-Hour Energy: The ads aren’t lying: this little liquid shot provides several hours’ worth of energy, minus the sugar crash.
3. Perky Jerky: These high-octane beef snacks are not only delicious, but energizing.
2. Dutch Bros. Red Bull Smoothie: Dutch Bros. makes the list twice, this time for its fruity, frozen mix of Red Bull and slushy ice.
1. Sobe Adrenaline Rush: This
smooth, refreshing citrus drink is still the best after all these
years. Too bad it’s become increasingly harder to find in stores.
