Good morning ~ I'm having my first Gorilla Mind drink ever. I got this from their website's variety pack. The only black cherry vanilla I've had was from Bang, and I'm hoping this one is as good or better. On the front end, I get a natural black cherry flavor with a chalky feel. If that's supposed to be part of the vanilla, I'm not sure. On the back end, I get a vanilla extract flavor that creates a smooth finish with that creamy carbonation. I hope other Gorilla Minds are carbonated similarly. You might like this is you're into Dr. Pepper and cherry vanilla Cokes. Actually I'm not super into this because it just makes me crave an actual cola flavor! I remember liking Bangs version better than this because I didn't taste anything off about it.
After having the Strawbango Margarita, I wanted to compare the mango flavors. I notice the sweetener immediately upfront and it somehow becomes sweeter on the backend. The flavor reminds me of a mango gummy snack or maybe a super ripe, juicy mango with sugar sprinkled on top. Whatever sweetness it has goes well with the flavor and really draws it out. The carbonation is medium, the sweetness is high, and the flavor strength is medium. Sipping on it more, I think I taste slight pineapple up front that lends itself to mango very quickly. Anyone else taste this, or is it just mango? The Tropical Mango reminds me of the discontinued C4 Peach Mango Nectar or the Bang Peach Mango in how amazing a sweet mango can be. Do you like the fruity Ghosts like this, or do you prefer the candy flavors? @farknard_energy on IG and TikTok
I snagged this one at Vitamin Shoppe or GNC can't remember. I'm curious if this will be better than the Alani Nu Cherry Twist? On the front end, I get a cherry syrup taste which is washed down by a pleasantly tart limeade. This one reminds me of the cherry limeades I'd order at a diner that was probably Minute Maid Limeade mixed with cherry syrup. The carbonation is medium, the sweetness is high, and the flavor strength is medium. The sweetness makes this one taste a lot stronger than it probably is. They did a good job making the cherry taste like a yummy maraschino cherry and not like medicine. The limeade is tart and sweet and kind of what you'd expect. This one is mostly limeade with a strong cherry element. Personally, I still like the Alani Nu Cherry Twist better. The lime has more personality, tasting like fresh squeezed lime. It's also not syrupy sweet as this one is. The intense sweetness tasted better in the Ghost Tropical Mango, in my opinion. The sweetness makes this cherry limeade feel heavy and not "refreshing." Youll like this drink if you enjoy super sweet drinks. This one is good, but I couldn't drink it every day. What do you think of this one?? 🍒 @farknard_energy on IG and TikTok
I picked this one up at Vitamin Shoppe. At the top, I get that sweet, distinctly lemon lime flavor and my sip finishes with the slightly tart aspect. I feel like this one is a bit less sweet than the mango themed Ghosts. The sucralose is still quite noticeable and has that syrupy feel. I would compare the Citrus with mostly Sprite and a little bit of Mountain Dew. The carbonation is medium/high, the sweetness is medium/high, and the flavor strength is high. I'm not super into syrupy lemon lime soda, so it's not my thing. At the same time, I think they did the flavor well, and it certainly caters to the Ghost crowd that likes sweet, high flavor drinks. It's completely fine. It's not the most exciting flavor. I'd prefer a citrus energy drink that feels less heavy and more refreshing. What did you think of the Citrus Ghost? 👻 @farknard_energy on IG and TikTok
Today I'm trying the Cherry Slush Alani Nu for the second time. I really didn't like it the first time I had it because the flavor was too faint to me.. Maybe my nose was plugged or something lol. Upfront, I get a punch of that cherry with a lot of that syrupy sweetness on the aftertaste. To me, the cherry leans medicinal despite being naturally flavored. I think that's just because the sweetness is so damn high. But what do you expect from a melted slushy? I could've sworn I tasted something fizzy in this, and I don't just mean the carbonation. Subtracting the actual carbonation, there's a characteristic soda flavor. I will say the flavor fades pretty fast on the aftertaste. Maybe that was my issue with it the first time. You'll like this one if you like candy or really sweet flavors. It's not for me, especially since I'm not a big fan of syrupy sweet flavors before my workouts. At the same time, I think Alani Nu did a pretty good job making this taste like an ICEE. I think an actual ICEE has more of a light flavor to it. Sip on something tasty today 😺 @farknard_energy on TikTok and IG
