I was ready to quit Gfuel, but I think sour cherry/green apple might bring me back. (ordered that $5 5 flavor sampler)
Still doesn't give me any kick like I'd like, but at least enough to help with my 1pm sleepy time at work. (Otherwise I think I'd stick to 8/$1 lime drink mix)

I need to power through my 2 tubs of Gfuel that I already got, Rainbow Sherbet and Grape, so I can try other flavors. I'm just not that into them compared to Monster Drink flavors. I need to look up some recipes or something, or get a bottle of club soda and see how they are with that.

Just ordered a 6 pack of 8.5oz club soda bottles! Should make for some easy mixing with the powder!

Snagged a trial pack. Tried the faze berry, wasn't a bad taste. Interested to get into the sour.

So I need to find a better delivery system. The 8.5oz tiny bottles don't leave much room at all for the powder, because for some reason, the powder causes mad fizz. So I got the powder all over the place, that was user error, and then it fizzed up and over, so it was a huge mess. Then when I finally did it, I could still taste the super bitter, but not in a good way club soda taste. Probably because too much powder didn't make it into the bottle.Give me all your green apples.Crone what did you think of them bubbles?
Tried it again today, by dumping 2 into a large glass, and adding 2 scoops. That was better, but I think I just don't like the Rainbow Sherbet taste. Reminds me way too much of pre-work outs where you chug it, and it tastes like ass, but tolerable if you chug it. I'm not getting enjoyjment outta the Rainbow Sherbet or Grape flavors like I do a normal energy drink.

You need to get a shaker cup, make sure it's a good one or the pressure will leak out.
I add 16oz of bubbly water, 1 scoop and shake it up. It pops really loud when I pop the lid but it works great. Still plenty of carbonation left.
If it's not mixing well try using less than a full scoop. I like Rainbow Sherbet but I think Green Apple is way better, took a starter kit (Includes shaker cup) to figure out what I liked. Just wish I could pick my own flavors in it.

Also imo try nice cold filtered water with 30-50% carbonated water. I found the mild carbonation nice and you don't have such extreme pressure build up trying to do a shaker. Those scoops despite narrow feeder, really do need a wide brim like a shaker bottle.

Oh snap, I saw they put out cotton candy too. Crazy how many flavors they are pumping out. They really need to get with the program on letting people choose samples for their variety packs.
I'm almost down a tub, I'm fiending for some Green Apple.

I've got a tub of grape, and a tub of rainbow sherbet. If it wasn't so expensive to ship this shit yourself, I'd ship it to you guys free. UPS probably want like $30 or something stupid though. These are not my flavors.
Damn those two are sooooo good too.
