C4 Carbonated Energy Drinks

C4 Carbonated Energy Drinks

Taste

Blue Raspberry Bombsicle – This is my favorite of the two flavors. Blue Raspberry is a flagship flavor for C4 and this is just another great addition to their line in the energy drinks. The blue raspberry is dense and gives you a feel of eating cotton candy at a fair. There is a slight tart of raspberry in the aftertaste that is increased due to the carbonation. While Blue Raspberry is an overpopulated flavor on the market Cellucor always finds a way to pull it off correctly.

Twisted Limeade – If you have ever had the cherry limeade flavors of Cellucor in the C4 series you know how good their limeade is. The limeade is pure, nothing artificial about it, and the carbonation helps enhance the overall flavor. What I really like about this is you get a small hint of lemonade similar to a Cherry Blade Lemonade Bang. While the carbonation is not as strong as Bang the flavor is extremely refreshing and nice to sip on. I really liked this flavor and there is the perfect amount of carbonation to not be too strong and give some people digestion issues (which I have seen with Bang).

Formula

The formula carries over vitamin B6 and B12 which is found in both Bang and Hyde Power Potion. There is also a performance energy blend of 6.7g that contains:

  •      Betaine (Performance)
    
  •      Cirtulilne (Pump, prevent lactic acid build up)
    
  •      Beta-Alanine (Performance/Endurance)
    

If you want to nitpick and look at the correct doses of each ingredient you would need 3.2g BA, 6-8g Citrulline Malate, and 3.2g Betaine (12-14g total) . In essence you are getting about a halved dose of each if you want to look at the scientific and studied dosages of those ingredients.

Cost

$24.99/Case of 12 which is around $2. Stop into any convenience store and most people pay that per energy drink. With a first time purchase I got a 20% off coupon for my next purchase of C4 Energy Drinks which makes them around $21 a case and under $1.80 a can. Very affordable and comparable to Hyde Power Potion and Bang in price when found on sale.

Comparison

So here is the big one most people want to know. How does it stack up vs Bang and hyde Power potion.

Let us first understand what each one has and what differs.

Bang à Stronger Carbonation, BCAA, Creatine, COQ10, B12, B6, Taurine, 300mg Caffeine

Hyde à Less Carbonation, Sweeter Taste, 350mg Caffeine, LCLT (recovery), Citrulline (Pump), Teacrine & Choline (Nootropics)

Cellucor Energy Drink à Moderate Carbonation, Very good and bold taste, Blend of Beta-Alanine (Endurance), Betaine (Performance), Citrulline (Pump/ Prevent Lactic Acid Build Up)

For those looking for the strongest energy and focus —> Hyde

If you favor straight flavor —> Bang

If you favor Performance and a good tasting product —> C4 Energy Drinks

How’s the bombsicle version differ from their usual blue raz?

Cellucor.com is also running a special starting Monday and lasting a month, where you can snag them for about $1.83/can and free shipping (if four cases are bought).

Strawberry Watermelon and Tropical Blast are dark-horse flavors but very solid. I am slightly biased since I helped flavor some of these at Nutrabolt HQ but they definitely give Bang a run for its money :slight_smile:

I’ll have a better deal as stated above where you don’t have to buy 4 cases and get 20% off which is about the same price :slight_smile:

Most people won’t want to buy that many at once which will be the better deal

Usual blue Raz doesn’t have carbonation which helps amplify the taste of the blue raspberry imo

So there really isn’t a “bombsicle” component of the flavor? Really just a normal blue raz for the most part?

4 flavors vs. 2 though :wink:

All will be in stock by next week.
General consumers are not always willing to buy 4 cases of energy drinks blind before trying.

Most people who buy energy drinks like having 1 single or getting 1 Case before bulk purchasing. Then they will stock up when they know which flavor and how the product varies from the others on the market. Everyone responds different as I have sold plenty of Hyde and bang , but I still have customers who will only use one or the other based off taste and performance.

To me the blue raspberry is so dominant you pick up the bombsicle in the undertone / aftertaste. I think they were looking to replicate their regular c4 in the energy drink, but that is just my assumption and feedback. I am sure others will chime in as they get them and what they think. This should help you draw a conclusion before buying
