BooKoo Energy Punch review highlights

We found reviews for BooKoo Energy Punch mainly on blogs that specialize in taste-testing energy drinks. We also found credible reviews on BevNet.com, which reviews many beverages besides energy drinks, but the reports focus on taste and packaging rather than the energy kick. Customer reviews at RateItAll.com are helpful, too.

BooKoo Energy Punch is a lightly carbonated energy drink that gets good reviews for flavor - in part because each 16-ounce BooKoo Energy Punch has 58 grams of sugar and as many calories (240) as a can of Coke. Reviewers say it offers a decent jolt - each can has about as much caffeine as 2.5 cups of coffee. Reviewers say BooKoo is one of the better-tasting energy drinks, with a fizzy fruit-punch flavor. Some complain that it can be too acidic. If you'd rather try something without the sugar and calories, 5-Hour Energy (*est. $2.50 for 2 ounces) gets good reviews; each two-ounce shot has four calories and no sugar.
