The Consumer’s Corner

I’ve been avoiding Amp Energy Overdrive for awhile; never was all that big on Amp. I prefer Mountain Dew’s other energy offering, MDX. Much tastier, better value, and similar kick. But, sales figures tell me that my opinion on the two energy drinks is a bit skewed from public opinion. Oh well.

Amp Overdrive is a wonderful tasting beverage though, much better than it’s big brother. Sold as Amp with an ‘intense cherry hit,’ it doesn’t bear a lot of resemblance to it’s base product in my opinion. The cherry flavor in dominant, and then some. Should I compare it to anything, I’d say it tastes a lot like Rockstar Punched. As you can see in my review of that product, I was gushing in my enthusiasm for the flavor.

Flavor. When reviewing energy drinks, you can say one of two things when complimenting a given beverage. ‘It tastes great for an energy drink,’ or, ‘It tastes great!’ Amp Overdrive, like Rockstar Punched, is something really tastes great, regardless of it’s class. Nothing harsh, medicinal, or any of the other traits common to energy drinks. It could easily be an ‘every day’ beverage if you’re not sensitive to the energy enhancers.

Complete nutritional info can be found here. I recommend it, greatly. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
