Vigor Power Extra

Price: €1,-
Contains: 0,25L

OK, it's time to review Vigor, a can I picked up at a local import store.

Packaging:
The cans has various shades of orange.
At the top the orange is very light and coming close to white, and coming closer to the bottom the orange becomes slightly darker using a fading effect.
At the center there's the Vigor logo, which is basically 'Vigor' in a hadwritten font, and underneath there's the 'Power Extra', written in a more futuristic font.
Both the logo as the 'Power' are using a normal to dark shade of blue.
'Extra' is written in white.
I think the can is a bit neutral, so I'll give it three stars out of five.

Slogan:
The slogan for this drink is 'I'm ready', which is placed on the top of the can for eight times.
It pretty much reminds me of a certain yellow sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea...
The slogan suggests that you should get a real kick of the drink that makes you ready for everything.
Well, actually the drinks' kick doesn't live up to the slogan, but I'll give it three stars anyway.

Taste:
When I opened the can, the standard energy drink smell entered my nostrils.
I poured some in a glass, and found out that the drink is caramel-coloured, but a slighty lighter shade than the caramel colour I got used to.
I could hardly see bubbles, and when I took a sip I noticed that the drink really is low-carbonated.
Great! I always hate it when the bubbles ruin the taste of a good drink.
Speaking of the taste, this drink is pretty neutral, it doesn't taste bad at all, but it also isn't the best energy drink I've ever had.
The lack of bubbles makes up a lot though, so I'll give four stars for the taste.

Kick:
As I said, the kick doesn't live up to the slogan.
The effect of this drink (if the're even is any) is barely noticeable.
I'll give 2 stars for kick.

Price/Quality Ratio:
I paid 1 euro for this drink, which is a pretty neutral price.
The drink is pretty neutral as well, so let's give it a neutral rating: three stars.

Recap:
Packaging: ★★★
Slogan: ★★★★
Taste: ★★★★
Kick: ★★
Price/Quality Ratio: ★★★

Avarage: ★★★
The drink is avarage, just avarage.
