ZONe QUICK BOOST Utopia

Posted on April 9, 2022 | Last updated February 3, 2025

The small ZONe vending machine added "Utopia" to its Quick Boost series on April 5, 2022.

Utopia had already been released in the ZONe ENERGY GEAR Utopia energy gel, so the release of Utopia in the Quick Boost series wasn’t particularly surprising. It seems to be a particularly popular flavor within the ZONe series.

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.

Easy-to-Drink Sweet Tropical Fruit Flavor

Upon opening the can, a sweet tropical fruit scent fills the air. It's the same aroma as that of Pipeline Punch, unmistakably delicious before even taking a sip ((o(´∀｀)o))

When you take a sip, sweet tropical fruit flavors like peach, pineapple, and papaya spread across your taste buds. I initially expected it to be more intense and concentrated in flavor, like the Quick Boost line, but it turned out to be less so. There's no overwhelming richness or cloying taste.

If you're expecting an intense, shot-like experience with a dense, sweet tropical flavor, you might find this to be too mild. However, the 240ml size is the perfect amount for this sweet fruit mix flavor, and I personally think Quick Boost Utopia strikes a great balance in both flavor and quantity.

I don't think the Quick Boost size will become the standard for ZONe, but 500ml can feel like too much, and since ZONe products are generally high in sugar, I think this smaller size, which you can easily finish, is a good option. ⇒The Worst Energy Drinks for Your Health

Energy Ingredients of ZONe QUICK BOOST Utopia

ZONe QUICK BOOST Utopia

Contains 75mg of caffeine and 240mg of arginine. The caffeine content matches the 500ml version of Utopia.

Here's a comparison between the 240ml Quick Boost Utopia and the 500ml Utopia Ver. 1.1.8.

The amounts of arginine and palatinose are the same per 100ml, and the juice content is 18%. If you're looking for a drink with caffeine content, the mini-size Quick Boost Utopia is a great choice.

ZONe QUICK BOOST Utopia Design

The design of the Quick Boost Utopia is nearly identical to the updated 500ml version Ver. 1.1.8, released just a little before. I prefer the slim mini size of the Quick Boost Utopia over the squat 500ml version.

The shine on the 250ml can looks surprisingly good, which is quite intriguing.

When comparing the previous Quick Boost series releases, the 240ml mini can looks cute and appealing.

The 250ml can feels like the familiar energy drink size to me. I’ve drunk many European energy drinks in this size, so maybe that’s why.

When buying from a vending machine, there can be significant price differences. Since the Quick Boost has less volume than the main 500ml series, you'll want to buy it at the best possible price.

Initially, the Quick Boost line was only available in vending machines, but now you can buy it in bulk on Rakuten. If you like ZONe Utopia but find the 500ml version too much, definitely consider trying the Quick Boost Utopia.
