Pale blue must be a color that people who like diet go for because its all over the sugar free scene. You've got Monster Lo Carb, Sugar Free Jones and now Sugar Free Red Bull. There's a definitely color theme going on there. It's honestly been a long time since I've had a Red Bull since there are so many better energy drinks out there and I need more than the simple 8 oz. can to fuel the huge energy needs of my body. I'm like a freaking train man, I need fuel! So it was with some excitement that I picked up the slim 8 oz. can of Sugar Free Red Bull. It was like returning to a long friend after not seeing them for years. Then can has a huge resemblance to the original Red Bull but uses that pastel blue color. I'm honestly not a huge fan of that blue color, but I guess I'm not the diet market. An all red can from Red Bull would be so cool!
The color like Diet Rockstar is the classic energy drink but with a little more green flourescence just like the original Red Bull. If you poured them into adjacent cups I doubt you could tell the difference. Nostalgia. It's like a blast from the past when that can hits your mouth. You're flooded with memories of your first energy drink experience. That sour, very bitter, gummy, very artificial, medicine taste. Sure it's not the most pleasant but it awakens memories inside you and reminds you of how you first became obsessed with energy in spite of the taste. Sadly it also reminds me why I don't drink Red Bull anymore. It's just too gummy and medicinal for me. Stick with Monster Lo Carb or Diet Rockstar if you want something that goes for the classic energy drink flavor.
The Sugar Free Red Bull ingredients haven't aged well either. There's only taurine, glucuronolactone, caffeine, acesulfame K, inositol, and Vitamin B. The kick was decent but nothing like the other Sugar Free drinks I've tried to date. It's interesting that their only sweetner is AceK since its usually blended with another sweetner. Maybe doing that would help the taste of this old bull.
