Pros: Has no medicine taste. It’s like Vault, except weaker.
Cons: Dr. Pepper taste…no more like Mr. Pibb. Has slight diet taste. Not enough caffeine.
You’ve seen them. You’ve heard of them. You’ve probably never tried them. I’m talking about Dr. Dog, Rooster Booster and Ram jam energy drinks found at Quik-Trips across the nation. Simply put, none of them are worth swallowing except maybe Ram Jam.
I bought Dr. Dogg Lite, Ram Jam Lite and Rooster Booster Lite because it was $4 for three of them. I had a test the next day and needed to pull an all-nighter while maintaining a healthy physique by counting my calories.
I’m only writing about Dr. Dogg because of its silly logo that I can’t help but laugh whenever I hold the Vitamin C rich energy drink in my hand. Ram Jam is to Mountain Dew as Dr. Dogg is to Dr. Pepper. One thing I noticed about Dr. Dogg light was compared to the other two was how weak the drink tasted and how little energy it provided.
There is no medicine taste you sometimes apparently find in other energy drinks but I think that’s what keeps you awake. Dr. Dogg has the same kick as watered down Diet Dr. Pepper and includes a stupid logo that makes even the coolest person look retarded.
Ram Jam and Rooster Booster taste better and probably provide more caffeine. Don’t get Dr. Dogg. Better yet, just get Rooster Booster for a lot cheaper from the fountain drink machines. I’m only posting the Dr. Dogg picture because it is just as stupid as the Dr. Dogg Lite version and I can’t find the Lite picture.

I too have tried all of them from qt. I hated Dr. Dogg. I didn’t think that it worked at all. Ram Jam Lite however is the best that I have ever tried. It works great without giving you jitters or anything. It is the only energy drink that I have had that actually gave me energy and still does. I buy it by the case.

I almost exclusively drink Mountain Dew or Dr. Pepper. (Or on rare occasions, juice, milk, plain old water, or on very very rare occasions, something with a bit of alcohol in it.) Maybe it was the years of youth- oriented advertising that hooked me on Doing the Dew– but I can’t remember the last time I saw a Dr. Pepper commercial. Maybe it’s ’cause those are the brands my parents always bought. But cola seems a little too John Grisham or Danielle Steel for my Neal Stephenson tastes (not that those authors…
