In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 8,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.

Flavor of GHOST ENERGY Bubblicious Strawberry Splash

Opening the can releases a sweet fruity candy aroma. From the scent alone, it's hard to pinpoint what flavor of candy it might be, and even though it's clearly a strawberry flavor, it's difficult to imagine a typical strawberry taste just from the smell. Let's give it a taste.
Flavor of GHOST ENERGY Bubblicious Strawberry Splash
When you take a sip, you experience a light sweetness that seems to mix flavors like melon, pear, and a mild dragon fruit-like taste. It doesn't taste like real fruit but rather a blend of sweet notes, so don't expect much fruitiness from it.

Now, as for the strawberry flavor, it's not very strong, and the strawberry gum taste is subtle as well. Without a richer strawberry aroma, it doesn't quite capture the essence of a strawberry flavor.

If you're expecting the taste of strawberry gum, you might be disappointed due to the low level of flavor reproduction, but if you set aside the strawberry focus and think of it as a sweet fruit mix candy, it can be quite enjoyable.

The aftertaste is mild with no unpleasant artificial sweetness, and there’s a distinct, sweet-spicy gum-like flavor left behind, which is likely intended to evoke the Bubblicious collaboration taste.

It's interesting to see that the energy ingredient composition, typical of a supplement brand, includes compounds that also affect the brain.

The can is entirely pink with a design that evokes gum stuck to it. The GHOST logo has a raised embossed texture that feels nice to the touch.

The Bubblicious logo is also heavily embossed, making the three-dimensional logo stand out more.

On the back, you'll find the common GHOST ENERGY design with the energy ingredients and various icons.

The GHOST ENERGY series adds unique illustrations to the background for each flavor. However, with the Bubblicious collaboration design, the area covered by gum is so large that it’s hard to distinguish any other elements.
