Amp: Overdrive advertises itself as an "Intense hit of cherry."  There's no better way to describe this beverage.  It's like when you go to Sonic and order a drink, and ask them to add some cherry syrup to it, and then they give it to you but it's not completely mixed and there's that pool of cherry syrup at the bottom and you take a big draw on the drinking straw and get the slam of incredibly powered up artificially flavored cherry flavoring.

If you like that... then you'll like Amp: Overdrive.

It's hard to find an energy drink which is, at the same time, tasty and buzz inducing.  Rockstar has done a great job with Rockstar Punched, a fruit punch flavored energy drink which contains a decent amount of buzz along with a flavor which won't put you off your lunch.

At 260 calories per 16oz can, it falls right into the "guilty pleasure" department of Energy Drinks when on a diet, but you can do much, much worse in the energy drink market than Rockstar Punched.

I like the buzz of an energy drink, but I find that most are either too bitter or too sweet to be enjoyable.  Amp's Lighting flavored Energy Drink is nice and tart without being bitter.

At 220 calories, however, it won't be a regular part of my daily energy drink routine.  It's tasty, but not too sweet, and actually tastes like a real lemonade (most "lemonades" are too sweet;  as an energy drink, this Amp had the tartness that makes a lemonade a lemonade.)

Pizza Hut has been promoting their new Stuffed Crust Pan Pizza. In their ad campaign, they blatantly rip off our scoring structure, giving themselves an AWESOME without a single by-your-leave.

This brashness intreagued me, and made me desire to learn more. I went to my local Pizza Hut and ordered my favorite pizza: Meat Lovers Pan with Black Olives... but with a twist... Make that a Stuffed Crust Pan Pizza.

I should have gone with my normal Hand-Tossed.

As you may or may not know, I am a Dr Pepper fanatic. As is a large chunk of the south. If you're somebody who thinks sodas should be "sweet" then Dr Pepper is not for you. Dr Pepper is sweet/tangy/acidic/sharp. It's it's own flavor; it doesn't taste like anything. If you've never tried Dr Pepper, I seriously recommend that you do. You'll either like it, or you wont.
