Dynamite Energy Drink 250ml - 26mg / 100ml Can manufactured by Canpack

I don’t think I’d actually looked at this can in detail before now, I’d taken its “Brand of the UK” claim at face value given the two Union Flags on display on the can. Now having looked in more detail this can has a really confused identity being made in Holland for an Indian company but must have been sold in the UK somewhere for me to get hold of one.

The design is simple and bold and I like the fact that the ‘T’ has become a plunger detonator. I also like the ragged edges of the yellow top bar. What I’m not so keen on is what appears to be a massive drop of blood behind of the name, I feel that’s taking it a little too far, and could be done away with. The rest of the can is pretty standard but I did have to look up what the green circle in a square meant and it’s the Indian Vegetarian Mark.

Blow your mind. Vitalise your body.

SunSoul Natural Energy Wild Blackberry + Pear Energy Drink Can 250ml - 26mg / 100ml Can manufactured by Ball

I’m not sure how I feel about the design of this can. It’s very simple and monochrome but I think that’s what they’re going for, to give a “clean” and “natural” effect. I’m always suspicious of products with the term “100% Natural” on them as being marketing rubbish, but I guess some times they may be right. The “No 17” on the front I’m going to assume is like the Heinz 57 varieties and means absolutely nothing. Contains “Kola Nut, Guarana and Baobab”, who knows if that’s good or not :p. It’s an OK can but not one of my favourites.

A sparkling 100% natural energy drink created in London. Specially formulated from the finest ingredients to make you feel you ‘radiant best’
