i absolutely loved the flavor once i tried it out and my dad did too. some of the flavors from the sample pack had some kind of artificial sugar aftertaste according to him but i never noticed it myself. but trying out the "Big Tear Energy" flavor, i fell in love with it immediately and he kinda likes it too. i also liked the shaker i got (and the mini one from the bday special you had goin on) all in all, it was a great experience
