CELSIUSSparkling Cola, Functional Essential Energy Drink 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 24)

UPDATED REVIEW: I reached out to the company and was totally thrilled with the response I received. I was surprised, because not a lot of companies do this today. They gave me a refund; sent me a label to ship some product back for quality control; and sent me product from a different production lot. I just received it today and it has the same wonderful taste I know and love!! I don't know that I'll be buying it from Amazon again for a while since the 6 cases I had were from the same production lot, but after the ones I received today, I'm definitely not afraid to drink the cola flavor again. Whew! This is a 5 star company in my book!!ORIGINAL REVIEW: Something has changed... and not for the better. I am a huge fan of the Celsius Sparkling Cola flavor. I’ve been buying them on amazon for a couple years now, since I can't find this particular flavor in a conveniently-located store. I recently got my husband started on this flavor, so have doubled up on my orders. Just as an FYI, I always put the newest boxes on the bottom and the oldest ones on top to rotate/restock items properly. This past Monday, I opened one of the boxes in a case and it tasted like... well, what I would "imagine" that urine might taste like. It was so awful, that I couldn't drink more than a couple sips. The next day, I thought I would try another can in the same box, just in case it was "my taster" being "off." Well, that can had the same problem. Couldn’t drink more than a couple sips of that one either. So then, I opened another box of 4 cans and that one tasted perfect, just like always. So, I started comparing the cans/boxes to see if anything had changed. The ones that taste nasty have a silver-colored top/tab. The ones that taste good, have a black top/tab. Other than that, the cans and boxes look identical. The bottom of the black-top can is stamped with: MFG 3098 LX 5 and EXP 0220 0750. The bottom of the silver-top can says: MFG 3639 LX 5 and EXP 0321 1612-. So, if i understand this info correctly, this indicates that the black-top can is older (but tastes better) and the silver-top cans are newer (and the ingredients have probably changed). Since I currently have 144 cans (5 2/3 cases stacked up in my kitchen; 4 cans in the fridge (one of which i have opened and it tastes pretty bad, but hasn't chilled yet - will try it in the morning); and 2 cans on the counter (out of the box that had two other nasty ones in it). I am going to cancel my auto ship on amazon because I have opened one box in at least 4 of the cases today, and they all have the silver-color top on them. I don’t know if the ingredients have changed, or if there is a quality control issue, but these things are entirely too expensive not to be able to drink them. I can't begin to tell you how awful this stuff tastes and I’m so sad, because I have loved this flavor for years.

Love the flavor and enjoy the vitamine B's in this drink!

I love other taste celcius too but this was the best taste ever! I had this for multiple months after the price went up. I will definitely get back to this when the price goes down...

I drink Celsius whenever I expect a busy day as it keeps me focused and going throughout the task. When I first tried this, I was overly hyper but my body quickly built tolerance and I really feel the benefit now. I try not to drink 2 days in a row and I never have more than 1 per day (there are 200 mgs of caffeine in each can). I recommend this drink to people with busy lifestyle who are looking for a boost. I don't think much of the taste or the advertised health benefit as I'm not 100 percent sold that there are that many.

To say this is the best celsius flavor ever is an understatement. I love cola soda of all brands especially diet so it feels great to be able to enjoy that same delicious taste before a workout. Lasts as long as you need it too I roughly have one a day before the gym. To be safe with it I take breaks from it when I deem necessary to. Great price and flavor!

Couple times they have given me individual boxes of 4 packs in a crate; they give 2 crates with plastic wrap around the cans. In the past over numerous years; Covid or when no 1 has product in stores. Healthier option compared to soda; depending on the water bottles use ice & combine celcius with water or drink it by itself in a cup or from a can. If you drink 1 can without water then decided you wanted to do combo with water but Celsius company wants people only drinking 1 can per day. You can also get more water daily intake if you did ice along with 1 can & water in a tall water bottle & I should be doing that every day but bathroom trips & all the liquids I consume every day

Thank you so much for the great item and very fast deliver!

I can thank my aunt for this "addiction". I was looking for a way to get off the crazy amount of pop/soda I was drinking and she gave me a couple of these in the cola and wild berry flavor to try while visiting in Feb '18. They are SO GOOD! Now, I get a 24pk cola delivered thru the subscription service every month. The day it's delivered is always a great day! The flavor is a very toned down version of what you get from Coke and that is wonderful. Coke would always reek havoc on my stomach. You can't go wrong with the sparkling versions offered. I have not tried any of the non-sparkling types.
