Looks like 7-Eleven is getting into the business of making energy drinks now.

As they were currently BOGO, I picked up two. One for yesterday, one for today. I drink an energy drink a day, so this seemed like a useful pickup. Each can has 200 mg of caffeine, the equivalent to about a 16 oz cup of coffee.

The two flavors I grabbed were Paradise Pulse and Cosmic Cherry. I'll talk about them individually.

Paradise Pulse tastes...uhm...I don't know. It tasted like an energy drink, like the cliché energy drink flavor that you get out of a Red Bull, but much more medicinal. I couldn't pinpoint like a very specific artificial flavor. Maybe it was going for a tropical punch, but it missed the mark.

Cosmic Cherry tasted like liquid Luden's cough drops. Literally. Like, I have no other means of describing it.

At some point, I may have to try the other two flavors, but I will not be likely to get either of these two again. Maybe Cosmic Cherry - Liquid Luden's isn't the worst thing in the world.

Have you tried them? If so, what did you think of these energy drinks?

As a person who appreciates gimmicky soda and Mountain Dew, when I heard that 7-Eleven had their own, new custom Mountain Dew flavor, I had to check it out.

Enter "Mountain Dew Infinite Swirl."

My initial impression is...it's okay. The flavor starts by hitting you with subtle pineapple followed by a berry / regular Mountain Dew aftertaste. However, for me, overall the flavor was kind of subdued.

I didn't mind it, but my kids - well, they really liked it. While I had a few sips, they guzzled down the rest of the bottle.

I guess you could say it was a hit at home, even if I only thought it was okay. Would get again for the kids, but unlikely to get again for myself. I'll stick with my standard dose of Diet Dew.
