Every morning, I walk past the vending machines in front of the contest gym and can’t help but stop to get one of the many Bubbl’rs lined up behind the glass.

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Bubbl’rs – they are the best drink to exist. I always have a Bubbl’r in my hand as my day is not made until I have one, sometimes even two … or three. The variety of flavors blesses the vending machines and cafeteria, making school bearable.

The flavors I buy the most are the Peach Raspberry Dazzl’r, Twisted Elix’r and Lemon Lime Twist’r. The Peach Raspberry Dazzl’r tastes like the best peach ring candy you will ever have and the sparkle in the drink adds the finishing touches to the already perfect drink. The Twisted Elix’r has a flavor like nothing before and can only be understood by those who have tried it. The Lemon Lime Twist’r is like a Sprite but better because there’s no sugar added. Another good flavor is the Watermelon Lime Smash’r, as its fruity taste reminds me of a Jolly Rancher.

I have had every flavor of Bubbl’r, excluding Passion Fruit Wond’r, Cranberry Grapefruit Sparkl’r and Blood Orange Mango Mingl’r. Although I have never tried them, I know they have to be amazing flavors as well. Each drink has its own unique flavor and there isn’t a single one I would pass down if offered.

Compared to other energy drinks, Bubbl’rs stay superior. Freshman year, I was obsessed with Celsius until they began to make me nauseous and dizzy after drinking them, making the drink unbearable. Alani is also a good beverage choice, but its high caffeine amounts make my heart rate and anxiety levels skyrocket. I gave my friend a sip of one of my Alanis and her immediate reaction was “Wow, I could feel the caffeine,” and she has never had an Alani since. Bubbl’rs have never given me any of these feelings, but they still give me the energy I need to get through the long school days and complete my homework every night. Even after my second or third Bubbl’r of the day, I have yet to get sick from them.

Bubbl’rs have never failed to make my day, aid a stomach ache or end a headache. There is truly nothing else like them. You have not lived a fulfilled life without having tried one for yourself.
