Lost Perfect 10 Energy Drink Review

Let's finish up our Sugar Free energy day with another revisit of a classic flavor. We take a look at Lost Perfect 10, Lost Enterprises analog to their classic Lost Energy Drink. I love the name of Perfect 10, which reflects the fact that there are only 10 calories per serving of this great drink. The can is the same as the original Lost drink but uses a blue logo instead of a Red one. I told you that pale blue was the color of diet energy drinks. The 16 oz. can is filled with crazy pictures so people will always check out your drink, making you feel proud. Again we see the classic energy drink color. Lost Perfect 10 also has that classic energy flavor, but it doesn't taste stale or dated it tastes really good. I can barely taste sugar free ingredients. It is sweet but its a reasonable sweetness without that mouth puckering artificial flavor. There's a nice bitter finish that helps mellow out the flavor. I can sense the tiniest bit of berry, very muted gumminess, and a rich pineapple and ginger spiciness. Lost has really out done themselves with Perfect 10, it is almost perfect for a diet drink. In all fairness this is not a sugar free drink. One of the first ingredients is glucose, but given that there is only 20 calories in a can there's just not that much sugar in here. The other ingredients are an impressive list with taurine, glucuronolactone, caffeine, inositol, sucralose, B Vitamins, l-carnitine, guarana, ginseng, and maltodextrin. I'd probably rank this below Sugar Free Jones but above Monster Lo Carb on my sugar free rankings list and its a good go to diet drink with a classic energy flavor.
