What You Should Know

You'd spot this slim can in the natural/energy drink aisle or chilled in the grab-and-go cooler, grabbed when you need a light, flavored pick-me-up before a workout or on a long drive. It projects a health-forward, low-calorie vibe thanks to organic labeling and botanical extracts, but the sparkling texture, added cane sugar and multiple concentrated extracts/flavorings reveal industrial formulation and convenience-focused processing.
