Zoom Water
So it has been a while since I had a caffeinated water. Some new to the energy drink game might never have heard of caffeinated water but it has been around for a while. I have reviewed one before and I know of several others. Thing is it has yet to catch on and I am not sure why not. It is the ultimate sugar free energy drink and it also as a lot of other uses. Zoom Water has come out of the gate with a lot of enthusium and I am hoping they can take it to the next level.
Packaging: Nothing ground breaking but then again it is water with caffeine. It comes in a sturdy 16.9 oz plastic bottle. The label is simple yet it gets the message across that it is caffeinated water. I like the red Zoom font. The rest is fairly generic but this is a first gen product. One big plus is that the bottle is made of some type of Biodegradable plastic. Grade C+
Slogan: On the label I found “Water + Caffeine = ZOOM” and I like it. It is product specific and right to the point. Grade B
Taste: Really this part is more about lack of taste. You are not supposed to taste the caffeine at all. I think they have succeeded it the only taste being that of nice spring water. There is no bitterness or aftertaste at all. Just clean crisp water. I don’t know how you take bitter caffeine and add it to tasteless water and yet you can’t taste the caffeine. Surely it involves some sort of wizardry or debauched ritual since it just does not seem possible otherwise. Grade A
Kick/Ingredients: So it has an undisclosed amount of caffeine that is probably 70 mg I would guess. I drank a bottle down quickly on a warm day and it did provide me a nice pick me up. It is more subtle than a sugar filled energy drink but it does wake you up. I’d put it a notch under your typical 8 oz 80mg caffeine energy drink. Where Zoom really delivers is that you can make stuff with it. I tried it in my Keurig coffee maker for a jacked up cup of joe and it really pepped up the coffee to the next level. Caffeinated jello! Caffeinated cup of soup! Caffeinated Crystal light! Hell make some Kool Aid since I know you love that stuff. Kool aid comes in a ton of flavors. All of them have no caffeine though. Zoom water to the rescue. Lastly I had a homeless dominatrix give me a zoom water caffeinated enema and it really took that to a new and exciting level. Usually enemas put me to sleep but with Zoom I was wide awake the whole time! (just kidding about that last use) ;0 Grade C+ for kick/ingredients.
Web Presence: No website at the moment but they do have a twitter and a Facebook. They also are sold online at Thirstmonger and Amazon. Grade B
Recap:
In all honesty this is a really great product. I found it very useful to take to the gym or on a long run where I wanted moderate caffeine and refreshing hydration. The beauty of this water is that it is just water and caffeine and that is all. No sugar, artificial sweeteners, or other strange ingredients. I hope this company can finally put caffeinated water on the map. It really has a ton of uses.
