Castle & Cairn

  QuickTrip has a solid history of being in the energy drink business with it's "Rooster Booster" brand, most often in a Big Q from the fountain or a Freezoni branded slushi. A few years ago, they rolled out a 16oz canned line simply titled "QT Energy" to stay abreast of continued consumer preference trends. The cans feature a digital camouflage design, in this case blue pixels, and seem to be primarily marketed at young men (like most energy drinks). In the store, they're usually about knee level on the left hand side of the main energy drink cooler, somewhat hard to  find compared to blocks of larger numbers of SKUs for other brands. 🛒 Price:  $2.39 (often 2/$4 or with a BOGO coupon in the app). This one was a BOGO for me ✨Calories:  10 ,  16oz. can 🍵 Caffeine:  140mg,  less than a cup of coffee 👅 Flavor: A tingly and unapologetic blue raspberry.

QuickTrip has a solid history of being in the energy drink business with it's "Rooster Booster" brand, most often in a Big Q from the fountain.

QuickTrip has a long history of being in energy beverages with it's "Rooster Booster" brand, most often in Big Q from the fountain. In 2021-2022, they rolled out a 16oz canned line simply titled "QT Energy" to capitalize on continued growth in the energy drink segment, particularly with younger consumers. The cans feature a digital camouflage design, in this case red, and seem to be primarily marketed at young men.   🛒 Price: $2.39 (often 2/$4 or with a BOGO coupon in the app). I got this one for .75 with a coupon. ✨Calories: 230 , 16oz. can 🍵 Caffeine:  160mg, slightly less than a cup of coffee 👅 Flavor:  This feels very much like a Red Bull clone, conveying the classic "generic berry", cotton candy, and bubblegum profile of that brand albeit with much less of a spice tingle or citrus pucker. The drinking experience is overall smoother and sweeter.  🧪 Ingredients:  Notably this is a full calorie energy drink with a high-glycemic load of 230 calor...
