Just kidding, O.N.E. seems to have a lot of interesting drinks so I decided to get a couple more. I do not like the form factor. When drinking these have a napkin close by. This does not say to shake well, I did though. I have never had 100% Coconut Water, even though I have been to Hawaii. Well here it goes... It does not smell to great, it actually smells like the outside of a coconut. It is sweet, but not overly so. Yeah I see why they sometimes refer to it as coconut milk, it has the consistency of milk and the after slime that milk gives you. I think that this would be better mixed with something, but it is not bad as a stand alone drink. Fat Free is a good quality but I would not go out of my way to purchase this, unless I wanted to mix it with a summer fruity drink.>

Nope it is just a sparkling beverage, no caffeine and no juice. It smells like a lime, and is very fizzy. I can definetly taste the Aspartame, it seems a little more prominent then usual. I personally don't care too much, but some people do care. The flavor is not strong, it could be stronger. Definetly refreshing, and will make you burp. I wish there was more to this drink, but it is really just a fizzy lime with a hint passion fruit beverage, like the can says.>

I am interested to see if it has the grainy smell and taste that I described fromt he previous post. If so then it would be the Goji that I am smelling and tasting. Yes it is there, that must be the Goji berry. Intersting flavor, not much of a berry flavor, more of a nutty sweet flavor. The flavor is good and mild with no strong after taste. It is a very mellow flavor that is enjoyable. The nutritious value is alright, but I am not sure that I woudl go out of my way for this drink. It definetly should be experienced, but it will not be in regular rotation.

Lid off, Oh wow there is a safety cover that needs to be peeled back. Wow smells like juice and Cream of Wheat, what a weird combination of a smell. Not a smoothie texture, just a juice. Tasty, almost light cranberry flavor with grain hint. Light but a great flavor that is different from what I have tried before. I like the experience and I am happy with the contents. There are more Calories than I woudl like, but overall a solid, good Juice. I am not sure what the weird characters are up on the neck of the drink... maybe more research is needed.

It is a health drink, or almost a vitamin replacement drink. What I am interested in is if I will feel anything after drinking this. Smells like powdered lemonade. The taste is a pez/limeade flavor with no hint of strawberry. If there was not so much of an acidy edge I would say that it was refreshing. I can taste some weird vitamin additions in the drink. As far as a drink, I think it is nto that good. As far as a healthy source of a bunch of stuff, yes this takes the cake. I would recommend this for replacement of Vitamins and minerals, but not for much else.

I like specifics like Watermelon, or Cherry. This does have watermelon listed in the title, but what really is a "wild watermelon"? Are people going out hunting for wild watermelons? I doubt it. I am expecting good things from this drink because of the other Crayons that I have had. The smell is berries, nothing specific. The drink starts sweet but finishes with a sour flavor. Strong in taste, and the sour mild enough not to make you pucker. I am not really tasting the watermelon flavor, but this really isn't a fruit punch either. It is good, midly familiar, but I cannot place the flavors. I am ranking this up with the rest of the Crayons because it is good.

But this has fiber and some Vitamin A. The smell is very strawberry sweet, and the taste is a lot stronger than expected. Very natural strawberry flavor not the strawberry syrup flavor. I really like the refreshing, not sweet, taste and you can really tell that there are none of the fake sweetners to muddy the aftertaste. I am putting this drink on the regular rotation in the fridge.

I wanted to compare the flavors because the drinks are almost identical except in the advertised flavor. The ingrediant difference being that the Leaping Lemon-lime has one more gram of sugar (whoopee). Non-carbonated, there is no lemon or lime bite, in fact at first I thought it was going to be a key lime pie taste, but the taste morphed to a smooth lemonade flavor. There is no bite like you have from lemonade. I like the Breakaway Berry flavor better, but I think is a personal preference. Some people may like the Lemon lime better. That accounts for this drink scoring one below the other.>
