Is G FUEL Actually Any Good? | Screen Rant
G Fuel is one of the biggest drinks in the gaming scene due to its connection to popular franchises and influencers, but is it actually any good?
G Fuel is one of the most popular drinks in the gaming scene, promoted by YouTubers and eSport pros - but is it actually any good? The drink features all kinds of special flavors and branding based on major games, and seems to be associated with helping gamers achieve peak performance in competitive titles. Of course, this is not some PED for gamers, it's just an energy drink, but as it rises in popularity and becomes more easily available, many want to know if G Fuel actually tastes good.
With tried and true gaming beverages like Mountain Dew already out there, some might find jumping to G Fuel a questionable endeavor, especially for those with more finicky taste buds who already know what they like. With major games like Doom Eternal using G Fuel energy drinks as a promotional tool, it's clear that its a product that is succeeding on some level. Of course, this is all purely subjective and most people probably won't truly know how to feel about the drink until they try it, but as an avid consumer of caffeinated, G Fuel isn't great.
After trying several flavors in different forms, it left a lot to be desired. The primary way to consume G Fuel is through the powdered mix, which is shaken up with water. Ultimately, it felt no matter how long it was shaken for or how much was poured into the water, there was still a slight hint of powder in the drink. For as prominent as G Fuel actually is, it's actually kind of surprising how unpleasant it was to drink.
Not only does it feel like the hints of powder are just drying up the tongue of whoever is drinking it, but many of the flavors lack any sort of real pop. Even when drinking it out of a pre-made can with no powder to distract the tastebuds, it just feels like an overly carbonated drink that one is hoping will be worth it in order to gain some energy. It's not really worth it though, as it tastes and even smells like a bunch of chemicals that feel wrong to put in someone's body.
Anyone hoping to become a Call of Duty pro after drinking G Fuel will be left a bit disappointed, as it doesn't really feel like it creates a greater sense of focus or truly heightened amounts of energy. Truthfully, there are probably better energy drinks or sodas that taste far better and give its consumers a better kick. Whether or not G Fuel is a great drink is in the eye (mouth?) of the beholder, but via influencer marketing, it does seem to have largely created an image of something arguably better than it actually is.
