Asda Blue Charge

Advantages: Cheap, cheerful, very tatsty.
Disadvantages: Slight dryness eft in throat afterwards.

...a trip to a nearby asda for a quick cheap lunch that i came across blue charge. It was sitting next to red bull and looked fairly good. I took a red bull and began to walk down the aisle to the checkout when my friend asked me to try blue charge. He said" You might as well, its only 48p, and if you dont like it, then you havent lost anything." I agreed with him and purchased a can. I thought i had just made a big mistake as usually copycat items ...
...this was gonna have to be one hell of a copycat to impress me at room temperature. I took a little sip, then a bit more, some more, and soon the whole can was gone. It tasted identical to red bull. It was unbelievablely close, the only difference was that after having it my throat became ever so slightly dry. Looks The can is nothing to that of red bull, but does have a decent stab at looking good. I would not be embarressed to drink it in the ... Read review

Advantages: if you like red bull, you'll love this
Disadvantages: far too sweet for my liking!

...And you liked it?! Well Asda has produced a 'copy cat' version of the Red Bull energy drink and has ironically called it Blue Charge! When Red Bull came out i thought 'yer i'll give this a try', wrong move! Then when i heard of this Asda equivalent,i thought this one might be slightly different and appeal to me more. I was wrong yet again!! I wonder if it gives you wings too?! :) What the hell is it?! Blue Charge is a 'high impact energy drink'. ...
...Taurine, caffeine and vitamins, which are suppose to keep you awake and full of energy! Likely story! What does it taste like? Absolutely disgusting! It is far too sweet, and believe me i have the biggest sweet tooth going! However, this is not for me. It tastes exactly the same as Red Bull but cheaper! It tastes very fruity and is a red/pinky colour. It is too syrupy and sickly, i think next time i will give it a miss altogether! How much do ... Read review

Advantages: Cheaper than Red Bull
Disadvantages: just as horrible

...our usual shopping trip to Asda we spotted Blue Charge, Asda's version of Red Bull. At 48p a can I thought well that's like getting two for the price of one Red Bull, worth a try. Like most of these types of drinks it contains taurine and added vitamins. I wouldn't go as far to say it tastes unpleasant but then again I wouldn't go as far to say it tastes pleasant either. It says fruit flavour on the can, but you'd be hard pushed to guess which fruit ...
...similar to that of Red Bull, and is also quite similar in taste. I found it a fair bit sweeter than Red Bull, but I wasn't buying it for the taste. So up the following Monday and off to work feeling pretty good as it happens. Two cans of Blue Charge in the glove compartment. At lunchtime I dawdled out to the car and picked up one of the cans planning to have it half way through the second half of the shift. I felt OK all day Monday and it wasn't ... Read review

Advantages: Nice taste, cheap, gives you a bit of a lift
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...and Blue Charge DIET in ASDA but never tried it as it seemed too cheap and I though it would just be another gimmick so I was cautious at first. They then started to do it in cans and this is when I took more notice. A can of Diet/Blue charge, 250ml in size is only 29p. What did I have to lose? (Apart from a measly 29p) The can claims that the drink inside is a high impact stimulation drink so I put it to the test yesterday. I had a can of drink ...
...me to drink whilst working out. It tastes quite sweet, rather like Red Bull but not as strong in my opinion. it is better chilled. The first one I had was straight out of the fridge but the second had been in my bag for a while and warmed up, this one was not as refreshing. To be honest I felt I had a good workout yesterday. I was able to do what I had intended on the machines as opposed to a few days before when I stopped before the end feeling ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, tasty, does it's job well
Disadvantages: any suggestions?

...value for money. As an Asda brand, it's always going to be cheap, but it's so cheap that I can spend half an hour on a trivia machine wasting 50p each go, and still have enough left for some afterwards! Effect Blue Charge contains Taurine, Caffeine and other fancy, long-named chemicals, but most of us simpletons dont understand this, and if you do, your either my Science teacher or Chuck Norris. Anyway, as I've stated above, I have used this ...
...friends among other things, so I am fairly experienced with the effects of the drink. I can definitely say that it's value for money. I tend to drink more than the average person, and one bottle lasted me the whole night, and the effects left me with enough energy to throw a plastic guitar at the screen when I failed one particular song on Rockband 14 times in a row before spazzing out and giving up. The effects linger for quite a long time, and ... Read review
