All black, red, and silver. It screams power! I believe the can is the best looking of the entire rockstar series. The top can writing reads "Caffeine, Guarana, Ginseng, B-Vitamins, Taurine". Apparently Kanye West wrote their motivational blurb, as it starts off, "Bigger. Better. Faster. Stronger.", the Kanye West reference falls apart after that, but the motivational passage continues, "PUNCHED (yes, it's in all caps) is a mix of amazing tasting tropical punch flavors packed with the powerful energy blend of Original Rockstar. Enhanced with the potent herbal blend of Guarana, Ginkgo, Ginseng and Milk Thistle, PUNCHED (again with the caps lock) is scientifically formulated to provide an incredible energy boost for those who lead active and exhausting lifestyles-from athletes to rock stars. Enjoy this fully refreshing, lightly carbonated beverage super chilled. PARTY LIKE A ROCKSTAR. This is followed by the usual mess about "not being evaluated by the FDA, and that the product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. I wonder if Dr. Pepper can do any of those things.
Active Ingredients *Per can, not per serving:

Rockstar Breakfast is no longer being served, prepared to be BRUNCHED, in the face! This has an wesome taste that indeed PUNCHES you directly in the face. This carbonated PUNCH does not suffer the same chalky/gritty/laboratory tasting fate that I find befall most carbonated tropical fruit drinks. It goes down smoothly, and turns your teeth stop sign red (if you don't live in the United States, we American punters have 8 sided bright red signs to indicate you should come to a stop. Yes, far inferior to the roundabout, I know). You might note that having fire engine red teeth is not particularly desirable. Well, on the upside, you'll be able to see where you're not brushing properly, and save a trip to the dentist. I can assure you, if you missed the gum line, people will swear you have Periodontitis, or you've eaten a bowl of glass.
This is an energizing beverage. It really packs a PUNCH. I enjoyed the flavor, drank it quickly, and had energy to spare.
This product will cost you about $5, $2 for the drink, and $3 for a travel toothbrush kit to avoid being further ridiculed by your classmates or coworkers. Now if I could only convince them I've also learned to wipe properly.

9Jason's Review:
For those posers who need to mix alcohol with energy drinks, I'd imagine this would be a universal mixer. Only one problem, you have to find it. Like Rockstar Cola, this stuff is elusive. I think it's kept in the place where Hitler, Elvis, and your mom are hiding out. Not to mention, it's a lot cooler to mix extra cool drinks with Red Bull. That's why you go home alone every night, you're too cool for anyone at that lame club. No one even paid you special attention when we overtly ordered a round of Jager Bombs, confidently displaying you have no idea that you're paying top-shelf prices for fermented licorice and deer piss, of which 2 shots has about as much alcohol as a 12 oz. can of Colt 45. Now, I'll let you get back to ordering a round of the other two drinks you've overheard other people order, I need to complete my energy drink review.
Like the other Rockstar beverages, this has a respectable blend of energizing ingredients. 240mg of caffeine in a carbonated fruit punch is like putting 4.2 L V6 in your grandmother's Rascal. It's loaded with other goodies, guarana, ginkgo, taurine, it lacks nothing I expect from a company that claims to help you "PARTY LIKE A ROCKSTAR".
When I think of the number of grotesque energy drinks for which I've ponied up $2, spending $2 on Rockstar Punched Energy Plus Punch makes me feel warm inside like the following 1986 Folgers commercial:

well, i've always been a Monster girl. haha. i've tried every single type they have + they are all awesome. some better than others though, but you can't always win. anyway, i've been trying other one's lately like NOS + AMP which I didn't like much, + i had a sip of Red Bull which I thought had the first taste of Budweiser so it was different. But anyway, a few weeks ago I tried a Rockstar Punched and...omg...it was amazing. It tasted just like fruit punch, like the big container of red Hawaiian Punch at the store. It was so good. Course I can't really tell you if it got me hyper because I fell asleep after, but when I woke up I was pretty energized so that might have something to do with it. Who knows. But taste-wise this is really good. It doesn't have that normal energy taste like the other one's do. It's like pure fruit punch flavor. I really would recommend it if you want to try something different. But I'm still a big Monster Lover. :]

Rockstar Punched taste's bomb, no chemical taste like sugar free drinks. Too bad for dieters tho. Mad sugar in this thing. Packs a better punch than most energy drinks, lasts longer than my ritalin, and about as long as my adderall. Doesn't focus me anywhere near as well, but it will keep you awake at night, even with a few years of prescriptions under your belt. Again, it tastes great. I love sugar. I've never had headache problems, but they had me on uppers since elementary school...They said half the kids were ADD back then...now it's probably something else...tangents..........

Rockstar Punched goes down very smoothly, has a decent kick, and does not dry my mouth and throat out, I would give it a 9/10.

Get out of here Matt... a fruit punch drink tasting like fruit punch?.. YOU LIE!... Taste is great, energy barely keeps me functioning, but I have a high tolerance to caffeine, but still a great drink for $2

Hands down my go to store bought drink, again where/when you can find it. I drink one a day, and after drinking this its hard to go back to any other form of rockstar/redbull/monster. Rockstar Punched gets the job done, and if you drink 2 in a shot period of time, you will get a buzz.

This is my favorite energy drink. I really don't like the medicinal taste of some energy drinks so I was an AMP girl for a looong time. I stopped in a beer distributor to ask if they had sold AMP by the case. And there was actually a Rockstar rep in the store. He just had to chime in I assume because I was talking about his competitor. I told him about my preferred taste in energy drinks so he told me about a new drink they had, sweet like fruit punch, that was just coming out on the market. He asked me to follow him out to his truck (which i didn't realize earlier was covered in Rockstar logos) He handed me 2 cans of Rockstar Punched and asked me to try them so I did, and I was HOOKED! It took me 2 months to find them again and I've been drinking nothing but since.

Rockstar Punched sux. It tastes like a big can of fruit punch. It gives no energy and a waste of time and money.

Well I have only had a few different drinks including Rockstar Punch. I have to say it tastes good but it gave me a headache and a bit of nausea.

Rockstar Fruit Punch is teh PWNS!11111 It is L33t. Srsly, though, I know in a detached, out of body sort of way,that the flavor is just cheap fruit punch. But I still LOVE it. I can NOT get enough. :-( One thing that sux, is that when I stop by a gas station to pick up some new energy drinks to try, I almost always get side tracked by Punched. :-)

Rockstar Punch is easily the best tasting energy drink I have ever had, bar none. It doesn't even taste like an energy drink, it just tastes like an awesome fruit punch with light carbonation. Best ever! I mean it! It surprised me, because I can't stand the taste of any of the other Rockstar drinks I've tried. I can't even finish the cans. This one I usually finish within about a minute. I can't get enough of this stuff! Massive caffeine content compared to most energy drinks also. 240 mg per 16 oz can, it's just a hair less than the NOS drinks. I've been considering getting a bulk order of this stuff to save money.

Meh, Rockstar Punch is okay. Except it kind of taste like lip gloss and feels slimy on the tongue. Ill always just love the original Rockstar.

I love Rockstar Energy Punch. I have tried many others and for the most par the taste factor is an acquired one. The punch flavor in this drink has shot it to the top of my list, and the energy in it wakes you up and keeps you going without dropping you. At least it never dropped me.

Rockstar Punch tastes great, good boost of energy too.
Dave on 2008-02-28 10:37:53 said:
I tried this drink and I think it sucks big time. Rockstar has a name and that's it. I took 2 big slugs and poured the rest out because I couldn't stand the taste.
Hector on 2008-01-26 12:21:46 said:
I would love this to be my favorite energy drink of all time, but about 4 hours after drinking, i get terrible stomach craps and feel sick all day. First time it happened, i thought i was sick and the punched had nothing to do with, so i had another one about a week after the first, and got sick again. Maybe this is because im a weak energy drinker, or there is something wrong with the batch the school bought, either way, im staying a way from rockstar energy punch for a while
