Freeze Black Coffee
Uhhhh…wow. I’m glad I have to stay up late tonight because if the coffee of this drink doesn’t vibrate me into orbit, the sugar certainly will. I apologize in advance if I get kinda wiggy with this review because I start to make little to no sense when I’ve been ramped up on sugar and caffeine. This drink is like the Stradivarius of sugary caffeinated liquids. Oh wow.
OK, I do have to say that I really like the tiny can. It’s tall yet radially small and the proportions are just nifty. I have no idea why but it makes me smile. Perhaps that’s the sugar talking. The design is strikingly keen too with its dark background and bold red heat element looking stripies and shadowed gold writing. The flip side is written in Thai, I assume, which is a nice dual lingual touch.
The drink though. Holy COW! I best get this review finished before I hit the sugar crash because I’m going to be crashing, wrecking and burning like space debris in about a half hour. Freeze Black Coffee is sweet (have I mentioned that yet?), bitter, coffeerific and tastes like it does indeed contain 77% water, 11% sugar and 2% coffee (no preservatives!), except for the 11% sugar. I’d peg it as maybe slightly higher. The coffee is decent coffee flavored – nothing to write home about but better than Starbucks – and there is a slight aftertaste which isn’t awful but I’d prefer it wasn’t there at all.
If you drink your coffee like it was a liquid coffee candy, than Freeze Black Coffee was made for you. For the rest of us, Freeze Black Coffee isn’t bad, but incredibly sweet. Would you like some coffee with your sugar water?
Rating of 3.5 wasabi peas out of a possible 5 wasabi peas.
