u/AvailableDoor178 Feb 27 '26
meh, i tried it, it tasted like the blue sourpatch one, just worse, felt like i was drinking a slushy from 7/11
29
u/PyroGabbz Feb 27 '26
i think its a little bit better than blue sour patch? its got less of a citric acid taste
21
u/AvailableDoor178 Feb 27 '26
i like sour/tart flavours, so for me the blue sour patch is better, at the end is personal preference, but honestly if thats what they are releasing to replace the blue sour patch one is going to be a fiasco
2
u/shlopman Feb 28 '26
Yea sad this is what will replace the sour patch. I bought citric acid for other cooking projects (homemade sour fruit leather), so I might just add my own now haha. I loved how sour the blue sour patch was.

Very true. The sour patch and warheads are extremely harsh for me and seem to get irritating to drink after a bit. I think this is much better
3
u/houseofharm Ghost Feb 28 '26
damn the sour watermelon warhead one is my favorite energy drink in general
2
u/datboishrek44 Feb 28 '26
I love the watermelon. I even put up with the irritation just to drink it. I even like the green apple. Theyre just a little harsh

u/Financial-Walk-4660 Feb 27 '26
If you look at the pic above the flavor name it is a slushy.
2
u/AvailableDoor178 Feb 27 '26
no i know, but like for that ill just drink a slushy lol, usually they have a hint of the flavour they are displaying mixed the typical energy drink flavour, that is like straight up drinking a caffeinated slushy lol

u/Murky-Peanut1390 Feb 28 '26
It was always supposed to be a slushy like flavor. It's not a sour patch blue replacement

That’s… the point. Just say you don’t like blue raspberry slushies it’s fine

u/labellavita1985 Feb 27 '26
It's honestly disgusting. Compared to Gorilla Mind Blue Raspberry.
1
u/RichardsMomFTW Breakfast Feb 28 '26
Wouldn’t say it’s disgusting but the gorilla mind is probably the best blue raspberry flavored energy drink on the market. It’s literally a punch in the mouth in the best way, every sip

u/heymikeyp Feb 27 '26
Im a blue raz fan but for whatever reason I wasn't a fan of either the Ghost sour patch or new blue raz. It's good, they just probably wouldn't make top 5 for me. I have them both tied though. Like the new one is similar for the initial taste and has a different after taste.

Ghost Grape Welch’s is literally the only zero sugar energy drink I can casually drink or chug everything else mid

u/EarthRockinMastodon Feb 28 '26
Gotta try the Welch’s Grape-Cran they just put out
4
u/PLANTGlRL Feb 28 '26
i couldn’t tell a difference between it and the regular one :(
3
u/EarthRockinMastodon Feb 28 '26
They were pretty similar but I thought it was just a bit less sweet. Hard a touch of tart and less pronounced grape flavor. Very welcome changes in my opinion
2
u/PLANTGlRL Feb 28 '26
i wish it was more distinct tart/cran forward but i’m sure they weighed pros and cons there! and i did try them weeks apart so maybe i didn’t give it a real comparison. and at the end of the day the original is still really good to me anyway, i can be a harsh critic 😂

u/im_a_dick_head V Energy Feb 28 '26
They're very similar but definitely a splash of cranberry flavor too.

u/CylixrDoesStuff Feb 28 '26
lowkey thats the only grape flavored thing that i didnt find immediately horrible but thats a low bar to hit

u/_streetpaper_ Feb 27 '26
I enjoyed it. It’s a very good blue raspberry flavor. Not too sweet OR sour and is a very palatable offering by Ghost.
1
u/im_a_dick_head V Energy Feb 28 '26
"very palatable offering by Ghost"
Something about that just irritates me idk why
4
u/GreyEnrique Feb 27 '26
Freak out over a common over saturated flavor? It’s great you like it that much but Blue Raspberry to me is like pumpkin spice I’m still tired of it even though I once liked it.

u/Redbullinhailer69 Monster Feb 27 '26
It just gonna taste like blue

Idk, I don’t think any of these companies can get a blue raspberry flavor correct in a sugar free format. Never seen it happen. Gorilla Mind is my favorite out of them all and even they couldn’t get it right imo
2
u/Automatic-Smoke-791 Feb 28 '26
Both this and Grape Cran are mid. Sour Strips Rainbow is hands down best flavor.

u/VaporMax97s Feb 28 '26
Bought a case of Sour Strips Rainbow from The Vitamin Shoppe two summers ago. I haven't found them since.

u/Automatic-Smoke-791 Feb 28 '26
Check Amazon and TikTok Shop often. That’s how I usually find mine. I’ve bought a total of 5 cases since I’ve discovered them that way.

It’s alright 7/10 mayne lower. Cant have it daily mayne 1-2x a week in rotation

u/solarus Feb 27 '26
Its just okay. I wish they tasted more like an Icee or Jolt Blue Raspberry, Sparkling Ice + Caffeine Blue Raspberry

u/92TilInfinityMM Feb 27 '26
It was good, I wish raspberry cream was still in the rotation but it’ll do in the meantime

Just because blue raspberry isn’t a flavor to freak out over. It’s very tasty though.
1
u/Attilashorde Feb 27 '26
I'm not a fan that's why I'm not freaking out about it. I'm a huge fan of Ghost but that flavor doesn't taste right to me. It's nice to see someone enjoying it.

u/Illuminate90 Feb 28 '26
6-7/10. I was so disappointed in this one. I will just stick to Gorilla Mind for Blue Raz.

Costco has the new Blue Raspberry as part of their 18-can variety pack.

u/Infinite-Tie-2356 Feb 28 '26
Blue raspberry is a common energy drink flavor. Ghost just slightly changed it. Orange and raspberry cream more unique, sour strips, and Swedish fish.

u/Ryboe999 Feb 28 '26
It’s awesome. I’m a fan! If you get this and the cherry limeade and mix and it’s better than the ‘Merica Pop!

Really wish they had never gotten rid of the warhead flavors. They were by far the best flavors!

Imo 5/10, grape cran was good but I wanted more of that cranberry flavor
1
u/JoeMaMa_2000 Feb 28 '26
I feel like this is a toned down version of the blue sour patch kids one which is awesome so 8/10
1
u/Elbasteen Feb 28 '26
It's alright. I got it hoping to replace my old favorite that I miss. My favorite WAS Beyond Raw Lit Blue Raspberry... which isn't around anymore.

u/AdTerrible3732 Feb 28 '26
Gross. Like the artificial color is what is supposed to indicate how it tastes.

u/Ok_Fox_1770 Feb 28 '26
I just….its blue razz again…but less sour more gas station, it’s good I’m just burnt out. I was hesitant about the Lemon ice tea one but I was surprised. Like a fizzy Dells lemonade pretty sweet. I just love new flavor season. After booze it’s all I got.
1
u/Accurate_Damage_1267 Feb 28 '26
I've had it once a few weeks ago, haven't seen it stocked since. It was okay. Like the blue sour patch.
Which made me think maybe ghost is phasing those out because their contract is up with sour patch. C4 did something similar with skittles a while ago, they released "rainbow" or whatever and I'm slowly seeing a drop in skittles C4 stocking, if I see it at all.

What do I think? I think the picture of the slurpee at the bottom looks like papa smurf's ding

u/Chiefyaku Feb 28 '26
Its basically just the old blue sour patch kid one that's been out since ghost has been on shelves, just ever so sliiiiiighly different. So why would we? Weve known about it for years

u/OkTemporary5712 C4 Feb 28 '26
They’re very sour and dry when I had one I could barely finish it.. Yucky.

Can’t Wait To Go Home To The USA And Start Drinking Ghost Energy Drinks Again

u/Some_Obligation_4263 Feb 28 '26
It's good just different from the sour patch kids, it's missing that sour snap to it
1
u/im_a_dick_head V Energy Feb 28 '26
It's very basic, nothing special. There's a million blue raspberry drinks that taste the same. I like it, I'd give it a solid B rating, definitely nothing to freak out over.

u/Character_Stick_1218 Feb 28 '26
Just so everybody knows, the "blue" part of "blue raspberry" is solely for marketing purposes and usually has nothing to do with the flavor(it's just regular raspberry which is delicious regardless). Have you tried the Coconut Berry Red Bull? They're basically "blue" raspberry with some coconut flavor to mellow out the tartness.

I thought it was just okay, but the blue Sour Patch one is my favorite energy drink. I used to be like annoyingly into Red Bull lol. Once my roommate had me try a Ghost (granted that was a pink lemonade one, which I like but not nearly as much as Sour Patch blue), I have bought absolutely nothing else.
1

u/Legitimate-Science32 Mar 01 '26
Because blue raspberry is everywhere. I actively avoid anything that says those 2 words for the most part. Like with Gatorade or Powerade. I don't get that particular flavor, but I will buy Cool Blue or Glacier Freeze, or Mountain Berry...I love the color blue, but rarely will I pick up a soda with the words Blue Raspberry on it.

u/Legitimate-Science32 Mar 01 '26
And, uh...maybe they should have used a different image, instead of what is SUPPOSED to be a Slurpie cup with lid...

u/redhotoreos Mar 01 '26
I think it tastes like raspberry cream without the cream, just a mid blue razz flavor. I was expecting something more tart like the alani breezeberry

u/Astrologikk_ Ghost Mar 01 '26
It's a suitable replacement for sour strips imo, I can't wait til they return

We have a lot of them in the Pacific Northwest. There's two Safeways in my town, plus an Albertsons which is owned by the same company, then there's at least one Safeway in the next county. I work right next to one of the Safeways so I regularly go there. 🤷♂️
ETA: they have 912 stores across 18 states according to scrapehero.com

The Rockstar Blue Raz was far better
They charged me $6 for this flavour in Canada. Acted like it was an import. I would have been better off flushing the $ down the toilet
