Energy Safari South Africa

Name:  Switch Springbok Manufacturer: Switch Can size: 500ml Energy: 310kJ  (MEDIUM) Caffeine: 160mg Sweeteners: Sugar, Sodium Cyclamate, Acesulphame K, Aspartame, Sucralose Other chemicals of interest: Quinoline Yellow Flavour: Despite branding, seems to just be an original type energy drink, though with a less sweet more tart taste. Rating: 7/10

Name:  Switch Wicky Wacks Manufacturer: Switch Can size: 500ml Energy: 330kJ  (MEDIUM) Caffeine: 160mg Sweeteners: Sugar, Sodium Cyclamate, Acesulphame K, Aspartame, Sucralose Other chemicals of interest: Brilliant blue Flavour: I believe this is meant to taste like the Wicks bubblegum brand. Similar kind of bubblegum taste to the Orange-Bubblegum, but without the tartness is a little bit simple. Still, the bubblegum is very strong! Rating: 8/10

Name:  Switch Cranberry & Cherry Manufacturer: Switch Can size: 500ml Energy: 320kJ  (MEDIUM) Caffeine: 160mg Sweeteners: Sugar, Sodium Cyclamate, Acesulphame K, Saccharin Other chemicals of interest: Sunset yellow Flavour: Both flavours well represented, especially the sweet/tart cherry taste. Slight non-nutritive taste comes through.  Rating: 9/10

Name: Mofaya Original Manufacturer: Mofaya Can size: 500ml Energy: 363kJ (MEDIUM) Caffeine: 130mg Sweeteners: Sugar, Sodium Cyclamate, Sucralose, Acesulfame K Other chemicals of interest:  Flavour: Typical original energy drink flavour, perhaps a tad less acidic and more astringent than most.  Rating: 7/10

  Name:  Switch Guava Grapefruit Manufacturer: Switch Can size: 500ml Energy: 375kJ  (MEDIUM) Caffeine: 160mg Sweeteners: Sugar, Sodium Cyclamate, Acesulphame K, Saccharin Other chemicals of interest: Quinoline yellow Flavour: Definitely has potential, with clear flavours. The guava is quite muted though and doesn't do enough to offset the bitter grapefruit. Rating: 6/10

Name: Twizza Skhokho Manufacturer: Twizza Can size: 500ml Energy: 349kJ/500ml  (MEDIUM) Caffeine: 174mg Sweeteners: Sucrose, Acesulphame K, Cyclamate, Saccharins,  Other chemicals of interest:  Flavour: There's a coffee/chocolate bitterness that's quite interesting, but doesn't go well with the normal acid energy drink taste. Rating: 4/10
