Hi everyone, TheKitchenMoFo from home again!
It's raining outside and I think it has been raining for 6 months
By now I've forgotten how the sun looks like here
in Lombardy, where I live
I'm seriously going mental these days because I'm studying for
a very important course I'm attending
for business things...
During the course
and also by word of mouth
I was advised to try a product that could help me keep
my eyes open. I haven't had an energy drink since...
2000... 8 or 9?
Well it's been a decade since I last touched one
I drank them all, I also worked for a company that makes one of the most popular ones in the World
but this is a different energy drink because apparently it has no caffeine
I'm talking about Guarana
What the f*** is Guarana?
A climbing plant!
Anyway it's this one: Guarana Antarctica
Antarctica: it's the company, well...
the name of this stuff
You can find it in Italy: I bought it at the supermarket. But you won't find it...
very easily
You need to go to well supplied supermarkets, the ones with imported products
Brazilian: "O Original do Brasil"
I don't know how to pronounce Brazilian Portoguese
but I think I might have got it right
This products by the way is an official sponsor of the Brazilian National football team
so it will make me play football well
something I've never really been good at...
Let's check the ingredients before trying this stuff together
Water, sugar, carbon dioxide
Acidifier is citric acid, which is what you'll find in many soft drinks
Guarana extract
which is the main ingredient but there's 0.013% of it
So, there's f*** all
from this climbing plant, we got additives
some colorant: by the way I'm going to drink it from the can so I don't even know what color it will be
Without caffeine
so this is the most important part: without caffeine
Best before... check the bottom
It says 2020 so I can drink it
Well, what should I say
I'm going with the sensory evaluation
Ok, it's sparkling... let's smell it
Well, you know the classic energy drinks, the ones you
mix on your naughty nights
with alcohol... You know you can't mix them? Well, it's not like you can't
but you shouldn't mix alcohol and energy drinks because they have
two opposed effects and you might risk getting quite sick
The smell is the same, but I gotta say it's not as strong
I don't smell that chemical blast
I get from the more known products
Let's taste it
I had to take two sips because...
I enjoyed the first one!
I feel like burping right away but I don't know if I should...
*burp* I did it!
Well...
it's good!
Think about your...
energy drinks, right?
This one has a very similar flavour
but sweeter!
It tastes more like a fruit juice, flavour wise
I can taste the fruit better, even if
looking at the ingredients, the natural amount of fruit is not much
but maybe that fruit has a very strong flavour and they, you know, add
all those additives to get the flavour out
but... it's good!
It's good. I mean, I'm not a massive fan of
sparkling energy drinks
but this is quite something and most of all it's caffeine free
which makes me be like this... caffeine!
It looks like I've been drinking caffeine forever even if actually...
not really: I do decaf!
I don't give a f***!
Well...
apparently this things helps you study, so I'll take advantage of it
You know what? I'm gonna pour it in a glass so we see what color this thing it
Let's pour this Guarana Antarct-Antar-Antarctica
in the glass
I'm pouring all of it... well, not all of it!
Alright, look at the perlage!
The perlage is the bubbles that are going up, anyway...
the color is like apple juice
Well, it's en energy drink: it's a bit like...
I'm not sure you'll see from the video colors but it's a bit rosee and orange
Maybe in the video it might look like beer or p*ss
but I assure you it's more like
rosee, almost like a prosecco
It tastes the same even with the glass. Guys, these people didn't pay me
I went to buy it to try it
This drink isn't bad at all
I said you can find it in supermarkets but I also found an amazing link
on Amazon
simple as that!
I'm gonna write it below
so you can purchase these cans of Guarana Antarctica
I'm gonna show you the can again
This is the product, very simple, I don't think they have other versions
this is the only one they have
It's not even that expensive, it's cheaper than
those drinks you already know
which I'm not gonna mention because the video isn't about those drinks
but you know what I'm talking about
Alright, TheKitchenMoFo
