Full Throttle Fury is a decent-tasting, orange-flavored energy drink. It’s superior in many ways to Coke’s original Full Throttle. Only the confusing packaging really hurts the beverage overall.

Full Throttle is an energy drink brand owned by The Coca-Cola Company. It debuted in 2004 as Coke’s response to the growing energy drink market, led by the likes of Monster and Red Bull. Frankly, it has a citrus flavor, but with a horrid aftertaste that I’d describe akin to drinking carbonated cleaning solution. Very medicinal. Yuck!

The Coca-Cola Company still believes that carbonated soft drinks are the “lifeblood” of the business in 2008. That said, they will continue emphasis on their non-carbonated offerings as well, primarily led by Glaceau Vitaminwater, which they purchased in 2007.

BevReview.com takes a look at the beverage-related Super Bowl commercials. Coke uses the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and its large inflated balloons to support another installment in “The Coke Side of Life” marketing campaign. Personal bitterness against Macy’s aside, it features a nice use of animated cartoon characters… with Charlie Brown actually winning for a change! Watch the commercial now!

BevReview.com takes a look at the beverage-related Super Bowl commercials. Apparently, Coke is so awesome that it brings folks of opposite ideologies together to enjoy such great things as sightseeing tours of Washington, D.C., Segway rides, Washington Wizards’ NBA basketball games, and a glass Coke bottle that you can’t actually find in stores. Watch the commercial now!

When you think Barq’s, you typically think about that root beer with a “bite”. They should stick to root beer, because Barq’s Red Creme Soda is nothing unique. Sweetened with HFCS, very syrupy, and way too sweet, this Red #40-colored drink dampens the solid name of its root beer sibling.

After being on the market just 17 months, Coca-Cola BlaK has been discontinued in the United States. Perhaps it was the poor taste or the bad concept that killed the drink. Or perhaps no one was stupid enough to pay $2 for an 8 oz. bottle of Coke! Why didn’t you like it?
