ROCKSTAR® ENERGY DRINK is not your run of the mill energy drink. In fact the can claims to be “the most powerful energy drink available.” The drink has also registered the slogan “party like a rockstar®.” Let’s find out what’s different about this energy drink.

Who’s Who of Rock and Roll Fame

True to the product’s name, the ROCKSTAR® company website at www.rockstar69.com reads like a Who’s Who of Rock and Roll Fame. The instant you open the site you’re greeted with streaming audio from Alice In Chains (you can click directly on the video to order tickets to their latest concert), as well as photos of Rod Stewart, Fernando Vargas, and Snoop Dogg. As you navigate through the site, celebrity photos are at almost every click.

When you click the company tab, you get a message from the company’s founder, Russell Weiner. The message is mostly about his parent’s herbalist background, to which he attributes some of the success of the ROCKSTAR® product. (Incidentally, according to the Wikipedia article about RockStar®, Russell’s father is the radio talk show host, Michael Savage. You can read about Michael Savage here.)

Distribution and Products

With all of the heavy marketing for this product, you’d think that the marketing would have drawn me to try this product. Call me a skeptic, but I was somewhat unimpressed with the hype. In my case, the reason I tried it was a little less exciting. I tried the product to write this article. That’s right, I was about to reach into the freezer case and select your run-of-the-mill cola when the thought struck me, “I should buy one of those energy drinks and review it for Associated Content.” So I grabbed a ROCKSTAR® ENERGY DRINK and here is my review.

According to Wikipedia, ROCKSTAR® is distributed by Coca-Cola enterprises. Probably because of their distribution you can buy it just about anywhere. I bought mine at Kroger for $1.79.

Is this energy drink the secret weapon that rock stars use to stay energized during their grueling concert tours? We may never know, but this article reviews the popular new product and examines some of the ingredients.

Rockstar is the best drink I've ever had the pleasure of trying. I'm 38, but after I drink a Rockstar, I feel like 18! I swear by this drink! If you want a quick infusion of youthful energy, drink a Rockstar. I recommend the original version in the black can and the Guava 50% juice version in the purple can.

It doesn't sound very appealing to me, and I will be sticking to my usual hot java caffeine high. It is obvious that you did your research on this product, and I have to say, Great job!

Rockstar never had done anything to keep me going and awake, but never the less, great article.
