Bawls vs. Brawndo



Ok, so the question at hand here is Bawls or Brawndo? This sparked my interest at the last LAN I was at. From what I saw at previous lans I noticed Bawls were always the first choice of drink, but I saw quite a few Brawndo's being put to use as well. So let's break this down.

Bawls is a high caffeine guarana beverage as where Brawndo is more or less just a high caffeine beverage. Surprisingly, I figured out that Brawndo has 200mg of caffeine in one of their 16. oz cans and Bawls only has 100mg of caffeine in their same size. So right away Brawndo wins that. However, Bawls aren't slacking on the sugar count that's for sure. One can of Bawls G33k B33r (16 oz) has 72g of sugar. That's like eating 18 sugar cubes! As compared to Brawndo's weak 17g of sugar.

Now, more importantly the taste. Bawls come in a clear 7up style fizz while Brawndo comes in a smooth tangy green substance. So this really depends on if you prefer the Sprite styled drinks or the tarty and tangy ones. You can get a can of Bawls or Brawndo for about $1.50-$2. They both price about the same so I say give both a try. Even if you're an avid drinker of one you might be surprised when you try the other!
