I think the Orange Mango Strawberry sounds like a great refreshing EAA. I know and like that particular Rockstar flavor as well and see that being good during a hard training session.I definitely want to do a Blackberry Mojito flavor in a few things. I was bummed that it didn't taste that good in the Super Swole samples last week, but that we because it just didn't go right with the taste of the base. I knew it probably wouldn't - that was a request it and hope for the best just because I like it type thing haha. I'm thinking Blackberry Mojito to definitely wind up as a Focus XT flavor and possible one for the EAA and Daily Gains.
I agree on the hydration flavor suggestions. I think that some of the flavors are going to be hard and then some are going to be a lot easier based on the profile. Like Lemon Lime should be an easy one. Some of the flavors I feel like we need to do from a marketing perspective like the Rainbow Unicorn or Jawbreaker ones, and that relates to a particular target market we're going to try to advertise to outside the bodybuilding community. But they're going to be tough to get them right.
I don't normally like Mango myself, but the Orange Mango Strawberry Energized Amino samples tasted great. I had requested that because I really like the Rockstar Energy flavor that's Tangerine Mango Guava Strawberry.
I'm a sour guy too - I didn't like the regular mango flavor sample for Focus XT we had gotten in and I wound up putting Citrulline Malate in it for tartness and that was really good so I had requested a Sour Mango sample and it tasted great.
That mix sound like that would be refreshing.
I agree, I love the Pink Grapefruit flavor. I'm curious to see how it does when we launch the Energized Aminos flavor of it. The challenge I think is just getting people to try that flavor for the first time because if they try it, I think they'll be hooked.
I used to train with a guy who would often stop at the gas station, but 2 white Monsters, fill his shaker with ice, and pour them over the ice and drink during training (these were hard 2-3 hour sessions). I tried it one time and honestly it was really great, so I expect if people give that a chance the Pink Grapefruit EAAs will be a hit. Something about cool citrus when you are hot & tired that feels revitalizing.
