I Try It So You Don’t Have To: Hi*Ball Energy Grapefruit Lemmonex January 21, 2009 I Try It So You Don't Have To, Reviews 7 Comments I grabbed this drink on a complete whim. I was parched and exhausted and it seemed like a little gift from Manna. I was at Whole Foods so I expected it to be less synthetic than a Red Bull or one of those Rock Star drinks. I had very few expectations…which is probably a good thing. Smell: Nada. Texture/Appearance: Wet, cold, and bubbly. Taste: It tasted a bit flat and bitter. Also, it was grapefruit merely in name. There was nothing citrusy about it. Imagine drinking a bottle of Perrier that had been left open for two days–there you have it. I drank it, but I wasn’t impressed. Final verdict: There isn’t really much to say about this. I’d pass. I will go for a Red Bull if I need a shot of energy. *************************************************** Lemmonex writes almost daily about food, life, and her cripplingly bad habits daily at her blog, Culinary Couture.
