This was the first GFuel tub that I bought, mostly because I am a HUGE Mega Man fan. The taste is just as you would expect from a slushee flavored drink: sweet. Mixing the powder with cold water will definitely enhance the taste and bring you closer to the beverage experience. If you aren’t a big fan of sweet drinks, you can always use more water to reduce the sweetness, but you will also lose the typical flavor. In order words, its the perfect choice if you wanna go for a slushy-like drink without the ice part.
