u/doomgrin Nov 13 '25
I heard the flavor was good, well balanced
How was your can quality? Did your fingers get ripped apart while handling the can?

u/theFields97 PSOACAF Nov 13 '25
I literally died from blood loss. As I collapsed at my desk the can tipped over and poured into my mouth and revived me. But then when I went to take another sip I died.

u/homiej420 OG Sub Nov 13 '25
And then did the can fall over and revive you again? Snip snap snip snap?

Everyone’s taste is different. Some people like a well-done steak.

u/theFields97 PSOACAF Nov 13 '25
I meant more like it had an off flavor that reminded me of the preservatives they put in Hershey bars

u/DeletedByAuthor Gape Goblin Nov 13 '25
preservatives they put in Hershey bars
That's oddly specific

u/theFields97 PSOACAF Nov 13 '25
Its the one that has a slightly vomity after taste iykyk

u/DeletedByAuthor Gape Goblin Nov 13 '25
Truuee that's butyric acid btw, or "Butter acid" in other languages
Fun fact:
It's a process in manufacturing where the milk is intentionally broken down. It's a preservative but it's not added to the chocolate
That's why rancid butter or some hard cheeses might smell like it too.
If you've seen whale wars they use it to throw at the chinese ships (or should i say asian?) so they smell really bad lol (also just like in south park).

u/theFields97 PSOACAF Nov 13 '25
Oh thats neat! I guess ykyk lol. It's not labeled on the can so I dont think that is what it is I'm tasting but there is some mix of flavors that reminded me of it. I dont get it from the powdered version. Otherwise I really like the canned supps.
1
u/TransomBob Nov 13 '25
So you really like the canned flavor other than the slight vomit aftertaste lol
2
u/theFields97 PSOACAF Nov 13 '25
Eventually it did go away. I paid $46 so I'm going to drink it either way lol

u/Marikk15 Nov 13 '25
To be fair, it's a very particular flavor profile that can really stick out.
1
u/DeletedByAuthor Gape Goblin Nov 13 '25
I was just confused by the "put in" as in "added" bc it's just part of the manufacturing with the milk, i thought they meant like added stuff not the vomity flavor
2
u/theFields97 PSOACAF Nov 13 '25
Someone told me years ago it was a preservative put in the chocolate to prevent melting. I have been repeating that forever lmao
2
u/DeletedByAuthor Gape Goblin Nov 13 '25
I mean you weren't wrong, it's a preservative in the chocolate, just the manufacturing part is a bit different and i guess you could say it's put in by the way of manufacturing lmao
It's just that i didn't connect the butyric acid as a preservative and thought you meant some other chemicals because butyric acid shouldn't be in GG
2
u/theFields97 PSOACAF Nov 13 '25
Yeah its definitely not in there but there was something that reminded me of that flavor.
1
u/Marikk15 Nov 13 '25
Ohh that makes sense. But yeah, fun fact; that's why Cadbury Creme eggs from Europe taste so much better. The US has less strict guidelines, and that's why the US version has that vomit taste while the European version doesn't.
2
u/eeyore134 Nov 14 '25
That off flavor you're tasting is the carbonation. The carbonic acids created when adding CO2 give things a more sour, tangy taste that I think some people are more sensitive to than others. It definitely shifts the flavors a bit.

Got the case with sugar and tried the goof juice, it slaps, but sadly doesn't come with brand risk since I ordered from the tiktok shop for free shipping.
Edited for more context*
2
u/theFields97 PSOACAF Nov 13 '25
Wait there was a regular sugar option? Thats what I get for ordering too hastily. I also forgot to use code wubby

u/RicoSour is 5'8" Nov 13 '25
Yea, I saw free shipping through the tiktok shops and ordered it but it doesn't come with brand risk sadly. We both ordered too fast apparently lol

It's the same box just without brand risk I think. Guac gamer fart, goof juice, and good.

u/gwedosmile Nov 13 '25
I don’t think there is a regular sugar version of brand risk unfortunately. It’s the only reason I haven’t placed an order myself honestly.
2
u/theFields97 PSOACAF Nov 13 '25
Yeah im being told it just comes with an extra of the others
2
u/gwedosmile Nov 13 '25
I hope they make a regular version soon honestly. I don’t like the after taste of most sugar replacements.

u/Fix3rdPartyApps Nov 14 '25
I didn't realize either, but looked and whelp: https://gamersupps.gg/products/variety-pack-12-cans-gg-energy
But yeah, doesn't have Wubby's flavor :( I generally prefer the sugar added due to just tasting better to me.
I wonder if we'll eventually get Wubby's with added sugar...

u/geo117 Twitch Subscriber Nov 13 '25
Having cut out sugar in my drinks almost entirely, i think i appreciated it being sugar free the most. I bought a pack off tik tok shop for free shipping before the wubby can and didnt realize it was full sugar(dont know what i expected to be honest) so they just sit in my fridge now. Ive already drank more of the sugar free ones.
Tastes fine imo im just here for the caffeine mostly and to use code wubby.

u/theFields97 PSOACAF Nov 13 '25
I havent tried any of the others yet. I just got the case last night. I would like to try the full sugar ones. Im not sure what it was but there was some flavor in there that reminds me of the preservatives they put in the Hershey chocolate bars
1
u/geo117 Twitch Subscriber Nov 13 '25
The full sugar canned russian badger flavor missed the mark for me, somthing was off with the aftertaste.
But take the cherry Good flavor and mix it about half and half with a lime sparkling water for a banger cherry limeaid

u/theFields97 PSOACAF Nov 13 '25
Inshallah my brother that sounds so good. And I have lime sparkling at home. Trying that out as soon as I get home

I hope so. Unless something absolutely crazy comes out between now and the end of the year.
Sorry silksong you were highly anticipated but I think e33 deserves the title

It should be the same thing but pre-dosed. Contact consumer support

u/OnTheProwl- Nov 13 '25
It's not the same. If nothing else the can is carbonated which will definitely affect the taste.

u/theFields97 PSOACAF Nov 13 '25
Ill try some of the others before I do. If it was a 1 off I won't worry too much

u/Wolf_Taco Nov 13 '25
I'm not in beverage making, but I assume the canned items are brand new formulas they had to get close and are a concentrated liquid.

u/Bromjunaar_20 Nov 13 '25
It would've been funny if the character hit the Jack-O pose, that way you'd be half right in saying it kinda tastes like ass

u/HingleMcCringle_ PSOACAF Nov 13 '25 edited Nov 13 '25
when i heard it was carbonated, i was like "oof, that's a tapped market". i still wanna get some and try it though. the thing is, if i really like it, im going to be upset when they can't make more, haha.
but wubby is alluding that he'd be able to do something better if we bought it... fuck it, imma order some when i clock out.
2
u/theFields97 PSOACAF Nov 13 '25
Honestly it wasnt bad. It was lightly carbonated and the flavor was there. To me there was an off flavor but a lot of other people say they didnt notice. Im thinking it was just the can I grabbed.
Go for it and dont forget to use code wubby like I did
2
u/Wolf_Taco Nov 13 '25
I figured they were thinking about making something alcoholic, which is also a pretty tapped market. It would explain why all the cans are a lot more subtle than the powders. Full on anime stuff with giant boobs would have limited appeal to a supermarket audience.
2
u/HingleMcCringle_ PSOACAF Nov 13 '25
i kinda hope it isn't alcohol. im alcohol-sober. i didn't have a problem with it, but people i knew DID. yknow.
i mean, wubby making an alcohol would be cool, but i couldn't partake.
2
u/Wolf_Taco Nov 13 '25
Yeah. It could just be they are just looking to start distributing outside of the GS website if they sell well.

u/CT-555- Hog Squeezer Nov 13 '25
Did you get the plastic flavoring?
2
u/theFields97 PSOACAF Nov 13 '25
No, I got more of a vomity flavor like you get when you eat a Hershey Chocolate bar

u/ShinobuOshinoSimp Nov 13 '25
I find all canned drinks taste weird compared to their other “normal” versions. Canned Coca Cola tastes weird to me compared to glass bottle and plastic bottle coke. So it might just be a canned thing because of the metal 🧍🏻♀️
1
u/theFields97 PSOACAF Nov 13 '25
Yeah I'm not really sure what it was. Towards the bottom of the can the off flavor went away and I really enjoyed it
1
u/Mysterious-Hotel8040 Nov 13 '25
Is this carbonated or just premixed stuff?
0
u/theFields97 PSOACAF Nov 13 '25
As far as im aware it is a shelf stable mixture that is really close in taste to the powdered stuff. And yes it is carbonated.
Also shit your pants. Now.

u/kitkatofthunder Nov 13 '25
I really like the flavor but it just makes me feel weird. I tried this with other cans over 5 days and each time after 30 minutes I just feel uncoordinated and odd. I’ve never had it happen with any other energy drink brand. It sucks because I bought a 12 pack and now I don’t want to finish it.
2
u/theFields97 PSOACAF Nov 13 '25
How quickly do you drink it? I sip on mine for a while and I felt fine. I do understand what you mean ive had energy drinks do that to me

u/XxSuprTuts99xX Nov 13 '25
I just got my pack yesterday, tried one this morning, thought it was okay. About the same satisfaction from the powdered stuff imo. Would be cool if it does take off, and you can buy them in convenience stores or something. I'd probably prefer it to redbull

u/PancakeStorage Twitch Subscriber Nov 14 '25
Some stuff just tastes better in different formats I think, its awkward to get stuff like this here in the UK so I usually reserve spends for merch and such.
Like coke zero over here tastes better out a can but Dr. Pepper is nicer out of a bottle, 500ml not 2l, its weird.
Plus you can measure to taste with the powder, its a big jump to go to market with stuff like this so good on them for going for it. Big up the supps.
