A few of the other (rather pointless) ingredients include, 34mg of Ginseng, 248mg of Guarana, and negligible amount of B vitamins. If you can imagine the market consisting of Soda ( Mountain Dew) and Energy Drinks ( SPIKE) the entire AMP lineup falls disappointingly dead center. Now I don’t know about you, but Double Shots have stopped working on me as a viable means for energy and AMP is starting to seem more and more average. 160 mg of caffeine per can is roughly equivalent to a Starbucks Double Shot. Although not shockingly harder hitting than any mainstream drink such as Monster, it did have enough kick for me to notice, but I had to really look.īeing used to large amounts of caffeine might be a reason for this but in actuality the ingredients just don’t build it up to be that strong. In light of the fact that I felt very little effects from the regular AMP flavors, my description is only relevant for AMP Overdrive. If you’re paying attention you would already know that this was again the AMP Overdrive and I’m starting to welcome the abundance of new drinks on the market. Unfortunately there was only one flavor that stuck out in today’s “heavy hitting” drinks and it just so happened to also be the best tasting. Each flavor is marketed as having slightly different effects (some having L-Theanine for relaxation or D-Ribose for sustained energy). Marketing Ploy or “Miracle”?ĭespite the abundance of flavors to choose from, the part of the review I was most interested in was how the new drinks would compare in effects to the regular flavor. I have never been a strong proponent of regular AMP but even as picky as I am I was still was able to find that the cherry, also known as AMP Overdrive, was surprisingly good as far as artificial cherry goes. The whole lineup might not win the hearts of the major Fiends but I’d be willing to bet that anyone could find at least one flavor that they enjoyed. The new colors (and corresponding flavors) include purple (grape), blue (mixed berry), orange (pretty obvious), and my personal favorite red as cherry. The new cans in the lineup are a welcome change to the all too common green silver and black style of so many other energy drinks nowadays. Let’s see what kind of competition this new AMP family brings to the neighborhood. Regardless, a few years back Mountain Dew took a step in the right direction to appeal to their more die-hard consumers with a new product line with a similar name.Well energy-fiends, it’s been 7 years since that venture began and starting this past January, AMP received not only a new image, but a wide range of updated flavors. The phrase was coined as a common abbreviation for amphetamines, which well, get you amped, go figure huh. A massive buzz from the caffeine and sugar.Amp it’s a term used often by eccentrics and extremists to describe their excited mood, and for good reason too. Oh, yes, and the review of this product! Fruity and sugary and smooth and very sweet. This isn’t a bad thing because it’s really nice, and I hope that Pepsico consider bringing this brand to the UK – it’s very different to anything we have on the market here so I reckon would do very well. basically Mountain Dew with Taurine and bumped up caffeine content. It turns out that Amp Energy is a US Energy Drink spin-off brand of Mountain Dew. And then I noticed the big Mountain Dew logo on the side of the can. It was smooth and not too strong in flavour, yet very, very sweet. At first I believed it tasted like no other energy drink out there, then I decided it had certain qualities similar to Mountain Dew. Of course, I expected big things for this big price and I was not disappointed. Thanks to Americandy in Cardiff and their extortionate prices, I have now sampled an imported can of Amp Energy for the tidy sum of £4.50 per can.
