UPTIME – Original Citrus - Zero Sugar (12 Pack), Premium Energy Drink, 12oz Cans, Natural Caffeine, Sparkling, Natural Flavors, 5 Calories

Earlier this year I found this product at a gas station when they were out of Sbx Triple Shot. I am one of those weirdos that actually likes the taste of Sugarfree Redbull and saw the UPTime sitting next to it, so I decided to give it a try. Amazing energy that left me feeling "smooth" and not jittery (thanks L-Theanine!) I was so disappointed when the gas station stopped carrying it but then I found it at Costco. Only to yet be discontinued there, too wah wah wah. Treking with my fingers to Amazon, I found this again at a reasonable price. Even better with Subscribe and Save, I replaced my regular Red Bull delivery with UPTime. Then I saw they had another Sugarfree flavor: Blood Orange. Oh, this stuff is super! And then yet ANOTHER flavor in Sugarfree: Peach Lemonade. O. M. G. The Peach Lemonade is my favorite!! (Plus it mixes really well with Tito's if you're into that kind of cocktail action). Amazon eventually added both flavors to Subscribe and Save and now I get all 3 delivered each month. I went on my annual summer beach vacation and was really pressed to think I probably would have to go without UPTime for the duration of my trip. Too heavy and impractical to pack on the airlines, I ordered a delivery ahead of time to arrive at my destination. My friends picked up the delivery and to my delight they loved it, too. To my horror, they loved it , too. Now I was without UPTime again (thanks guys for saving me at least one bottle). We were roadbound and hit up many gas stations and tried other energy drinks with L-Theanine but they weren't nearly as good as UPTime. I had another couple cases shipped to our midway point via Amazon Locker (man, I love all these newfangled options for my Veruca Salt moments.) Why I mention this is A) I was shocked how much my friends liked the UPTime, and B) there was zero withdrawal like from other highly caffeinated energy drinks while I went days without. I agree with the weirdness of the bottle's lid. I've decided this is the fight I must endure for the prosperity of this product. I will give a great benefit of the bottle design though--it will never spill even after opening, it's a durable bottle that won't crack after dropping it, it's awesome for me to refill with water (or freeze with water/juice/etc to make ice for the cooler without taking up space), and it's not yet another plastic item to end up in the landfill. Please make more flavors! My thoughts are: Acai, Lemongrass Blueberry, Cucumber Lime, Gooseberry (no kidding) PS--I've tried the pill supplements but strongly prefer the results of the drink instead.

Love the flavor. Tastes great. Very good energy boost. Try it, you’ll love it too.

I’ve been buying uptime for years. I love the sugar free original citrus. Have one every morning. It wakes me up without the tweakiness of Red Bull or Monster. I don’t like the new cans though. Really miss the twist top old cans. The flavor seems off in the new cans as well. Please go back to the old cans if possible.

1st shipment arrived damaged at Amazon, and was returned. Packaging very flimsy. Love the product, healthier than most of the energy drinks. Not overloaded with caffeine. Would recommend product, not the packaging. Uptime needs to reassess packaging.

Great taste and reliable energy boost without the jitters.
