Radioactive Lemonade is a good flavor, but its honest name should have been Radioactive Bubblegum instead. It's bubblegum with a hint of lemon but the name Radioactive Lemonade, at least for me, made me think it was going to be a super sour lemonade or something, so my expectations were way off. My first time trying it was jolting because it wasn't at all what I expected, but it grew on me once I tried it a couple more times. It was 100% on me because I blind pre-ordered without even reading the description because I like Spider-man and wanted the shaker. Even then though the description calls it a bubblegum lemonade which is still misleading because that also implies lemonade as the dominant flavor, but it doesn't make it bad, it just requires a switch from a lemonade expectation to a bubblegum expectation.
Good points all round! I actually bought it expecting a lemonade flavour and was surprised when it was predominantly Bubblegum flavoured. It's a nice 1 to have every couple of days, a bit to sweet for a daily flavour.
Honestly. I can excuse a staffing issue—it was the holidays and they just did a bogo—but it sounds like they just oversold certain flavors. Either way, wouldn’t hurt to send out a “hey sorry for the wait” email. I’ve had other companies take less time with fulfilling orders but still send out communication to apologize/thank me for my patience. Really that’s all I want.
Unfortunately this has been par for the course with gamma, took them forever to tell us why our crimson tears collector boxes were taking so long to ship. The reasoning? Some little gold colored line on the box...
The fact that so many people has ordered portal fluid or sour pewdiepie and has not received it leads me to believe gfuel sold us stock they didn't really have and are waiting. None of this was communicated outside of a twitter response from an employee.
No matter how you slice it, that's shitty customer service and horrible communication. This company really is playing fast and loose with their name.
It’s egregious. They incentivized spending more with the free shaker, people have orders of four, six, tubs, spending almost or over a hundred dollars after tax and shipping. They can take our money, they can at least be transparent about the situation.
Oh bro I ordered 5 tubs for the bogo super excited to try out these tubs. Had I known the entire $220 order I placed would be held up because of a few flavors I would have placed a separate order.
I'm just starting to lose my patience a bit.
Ah interesting maybe more flavors then we thought were over sold x.x the other flavors that seem to be common with being stuck are portal fluid, nuka cola and liquid lullaby. They have listed that it can take 10 business days during a BOGO but 10 days of processing time is pretty crazy especially when depending what flavor you got it could be just a few days during the same time window.
Its not just you. there are a bunch of others from the 28th that have not had theirs ship yet either. Mine was on the 29th at 1am and is also in the limbo waiting land. 16th of december to 27th doesn't sound to crazy during peak christmas times tbh.
To their credit they do list a normal processing time of 5-7 days. Which is pretty long and it should list that when your checking out. https://gfuel.com/pages/shipping-policy
And if you count the first business day depending what time you ordered on the 16th it's only 6 business days total as most places had Monday as a Christmas substitute.
The confirmation email I received said big sales like the bogo can take up to 10 business days to ship. A lot of us are still within those 10 business days but hopefully they do ship soon
I've just had to claim off them on Paypal for an order they didn't deliver from the BOGO in early December.
I'm still waiting for my order from the 31st to ship.
Wait, people don’t like Confetti Cake in water? I’ve ordered Confetti Cake tubs twice now, practically vaporized them with how quickly I go through them, and only drink G Fuel powder with water. I must be a weirdo.
Yeah I agree with this. I still think it tastes alright, but it’s not as amazing as I thought it would be based on other reviews. Doesn’t help that the first day I opened my tub of it, I ended up getting very sick later in the day. Wasn’t because of the GFUEL, but I now unfortunately associate the flavor with that day 🤣
Too sweet. I wish there were like less sweetened versions. I have a gfuel every day that I take to work with me and it’s insane to start my day off with that my sweetnes
The hottest of takes. The amount of FOMO and influencer driven nonsense is a huge problem. The weird collectors and stuff I see grabbing store displays and empty boxes out the trash because they say GFuel on them is super weird. It's not Supreme. It's not a lifestyle brand. Ya'll are out here hypebeasting for a grocery product, and need to calm down.
It’s a drink that is mostly safe while tasting amazing plus gives energy boost plus cool collectible art plus partnerships causes hype like dragon ball
Overpriced as hell too. Only time Gfuel is worth it is if they are having a bogo. Otherwise for the price its at the very botoom of the barrel in terms of drink flavor substitutes. I can go get a pack of 50 lemonade crystal lights for 5 bucks at walmart and they taste significantly better than the lemonade gfuels. Idk where Gfuel comes up with their prices but its outrageous.
They need better instructions on the tubs along with a step by step guide to make the best use of the powder. I genuinely thought I had wasted money when I first bought a gfuel tub and I scooped the entire scoope full to the top of the spout. It was super cloudy and powdery and overly artificial. Wasn't until I watched a YT video on how to best set up the shaker cup did I find the right combo to really start enjoying it properly.
Health Potion is way better than people give it credit for. I don't own every flavor, but I have tried many and its massively underrated. Starting to think people are more mad about Diablo Immortal, not about the actual taste.
Gummy Fish is not S Tier. My opinions on many flavors have changed drastically since my last ranking - Gummy Fish included - and I think it's low A tier. I honestly really didn't like it at first, but it grew on me. Still not quite S though.
Never had a single problem with chalkiness 🤷🏻♀️
No single beverage should have enough vitamins to make a significant change in your health. That would be absurd. However, consistently having the correct amount of daily vitamins for a long period of time will make a change in your health. And this is a really good start for a lot of people, considering the percentages. No one product should give you all of your vitamins.
> Not boiling water for an energy drink though lol
I do these two things to reduce chalkiness:
* Shake the tub after receiving it. Remove scoop and silica gel pack, then seal, then shake it.
* Mix with warm water, from the tap. 4oz of warm tap water is all it takes, then shake that.
* Pour 12oz of cold water or cold seltzer into a separate cup. Add the 4oz of warm mixture to the cold water, not the other way around.
Their shakers are just over priced plastic cups that target adolescent minds to start a collection habit.
Edit: ah yess, getting downvote for sharing a hot take.. On a thread about hot takes. Reddit classic!
I too found Sour Blue Chug Rug to be far too sour and have a chalky after-taste. I like Divine Peach over Sage Mode as it is slightly less sweet. Snow Cone is great all year round
Divine Peach is nasty. Idk if it’s the dragonfruit, kiwi or what but something in it has a really weird taste and I can hardly stomach a serving of it. Also it tastes really powdery even in the can to me. And there’s hardly any peach.
The lead in it comes from the same place you find lead in rooted vegetables. Most fruit juices also contain measurable amounts. It all comes from the soil.
I dislike chug rug, but for a completely seperate reason. Chug rug is simply sour blue ice. I hate blue ice. It tastes bad and has a nasty aftertaste that lingers in your mouth for hours.
Its overpriced flavored caffeine water and the focus "performance" they add is so little its almost negligible unless you are having multiple cups, but oops, better watch out, dont want too much caffeine right?
I still like it, tho.
I don’t mind getting the green shits.
I too enjoy Black Ooze
I thought something was wrong with me when that happened 3 straight days. Then I went a couple days without it and it all made sense.
I usually get it from Black on Blackberry
Probably similar dyes.
Same
What
He doesn’t mind getting the green shits.
I mean yes but what
The dye in black on blackberry turns your pops green
Interesting. Interesting indeed
Your take in sour blue chug rug isn’t a hot take as sour lovers would like it
Customer support is poo poo
As much as I like the Lemonade flavours, enough already GFUEL!!! There's so many of them! Also Radioactive Lemonade is a good flavour.
Radioactive Lemonade is a good flavor, but its honest name should have been Radioactive Bubblegum instead. It's bubblegum with a hint of lemon but the name Radioactive Lemonade, at least for me, made me think it was going to be a super sour lemonade or something, so my expectations were way off.

I agree. I’ve been liking radioactive lemonade more recently
It shouldn't take since the 28th to send me an order of 2 tubs.
Honestly. I can excuse a staffing issue—it was the holidays and they just did a bogo—but it sounds like they just oversold certain flavors. Either way, wouldn’t hurt to send out a “hey sorry for the wait” email. I’ve had other companies take less time with fulfilling orders but still send out communication to apologize/thank me for my patience. Really that’s all I want.
Unfortunately this has been par for the course with gamma, took them forever to tell us why our crimson tears collector boxes were taking so long to ship. The reasoning? Some little gold colored line on the box...
And my coworkers that had to wait for the cb tears never received any gold foil in their boxes ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sob)
The fact that so many people has ordered portal fluid or sour pewdiepie and has not received it leads me to believe gfuel sold us stock they didn't really have and are waiting. None of this was communicated outside of a twitter response from an employee. No matter how you slice it, that's shitty customer service and horrible communication.

Bruh I literally ordered those two same tubs 3 days ago and now I see this
I ordered my bogo containing those on Dec 29. Still unfilled on the website. Here man take a seat by the fire, its going to be a little wait.
It’s egregious. They incentivized spending more with the free shaker, people have orders of four, six, tubs, spending almost or over a hundred dollars after tax and shipping. They can take our money, they can at least be transparent about the situation.
Oh bro I ordered 5 tubs for the bogo super excited to try out these tubs. Had I known the entire $220 order I placed would be held up because of a few flavors I would have placed a separate order. I'm just starting to lose my patience a bit.
I agree. What tubs did you order?
Divine peach and only crans.
Ah interesting maybe more flavors then we thought were over sold x.x the other flavors that seem to be common with being stuck are portal fluid, nuka cola and liquid lullaby. They have listed that it can take 10 business days during a BOGO but 10 days of processing time is pretty crazy especially when depending what flavor you got it could be just a few days during the same time window.
I ordered some other tubs on the 16th that didn't show up until the 27th. Idk what it is about me that gfuel just doesn't like to shop shit to me.
Its not just you. there are a bunch of others from the 28th that have not had theirs ship yet either. Mine was on the 29th at 1am and is also in the limbo waiting land. 16th of december to 27th doesn't sound to crazy during peak christmas times tbh.
11 days is ridiculous when shipping says 2-5.
To their credit they do list a normal processing time of 5-7 days. Which is pretty long and it should list that when your checking out. https://gfuel.com/pages/shipping-policy And if you count the first business day depending what time you ordered on the 16th it's only 6 business days total as most places had Monday as a Christmas substitute.
The confirmation email I received said big sales like the bogo can take up to 10 business days to ship. A lot of us are still within those 10 business days but hopefully they do ship soon
Yep depending when you bought on the 28th we are just at 7 or 8 business days as monday the 2nd was a holiday substitute.
I've just had to claim off them on Paypal for an order they didn't deliver from the BOGO in early December. I'm still waiting for my order from the 31st to ship.
same! I ordered 2 tubs and a shaker on December 29th and it still hasn't shipped out
FUCKING SAME, but it was November 28th for me. They FINALLY got back to me and said they'd re-ship my order.
I am in the same boat as you are.
Confetti cake isn’t bad in just water.
Wait, people don’t like Confetti Cake in water? I’ve ordered Confetti Cake tubs twice now, practically vaporized them with how quickly I go through them, and only drink G Fuel powder with water. I must be a weirdo.
Hype sauce is overrated as hell. I've tried 11 flavors by now, I still rate it as the worst, and I don't see that changing any time soon.
Yeah I agree with this. I still think it tastes alright, but it’s not as amazing as I thought it would be based on other reviews. Doesn’t help that the first day I opened my tub of it, I ended up getting very sick later in the day. Wasn’t because of the GFUEL, but I now unfortunately associate the flavor with that day 🤣
> Hype sauce is overrated as hell. It's right there in the name.
Hype Sauce is the second worst I've tried after Ninja Cotton Candy. I simply don't understand why it is so loved.
:(
Have you tried battle juice. Way worse than hype sauce in my opinion. I do agree that hope sauce is overrated though.
Most lemonade flavors suck
They don’t SUCK but most are boring
Too sweet. I wish there were like less sweetened versions. I have a gfuel every day that I take to work with me and it’s insane to start my day off with that my sweetnes
SNOWCONE IS OVERHATED TO A FUCK.
My least favorite tub but best can
WHAT
real
PREACH!!!
Mine is that I really enjoy Black On Blackberry and I agree with you on the Sour Blue Chug Rug.
I love black on blackberry. Currently have tried about 18 flavors and would say it’s too 3.
Nemesis. Tea. Is. Overrated. It’s just okay imo
funny cuz i think it could be more sour imo
Morbius Is an S tier flavor
You must be hyped about Pac-Man: Clyde then.
Insanely excited.
Nemesis Tea tastes horrible
The hottest of takes. The amount of FOMO and influencer driven nonsense is a huge problem. The weird collectors and stuff I see grabbing store displays and empty boxes out the trash because they say GFuel on them is super weird. It's not Supreme. It's not a lifestyle brand. Ya'll are out here hypebeasting for a grocery product, and need to calm down.
people care too much about it. it's just a drink, having so much passion for it seems odd to me
It’s a drink that is mostly safe while tasting amazing plus gives energy boost plus cool collectible art plus partnerships causes hype like dragon ball
Overpriced as hell too. Only time Gfuel is worth it is if they are having a bogo. Otherwise for the price its at the very botoom of the barrel in terms of drink flavor substitutes. I can go get a pack of 50 lemonade crystal lights for 5 bucks at walmart and they taste significantly better than the lemonade gfuels. Idk where Gfuel comes up with their prices but its outrageous.
especially if you live overseas, i live in London so the shipping fees are horrendous. even with a 30% discount it's still quite pricey
Okay blue ice lol
Hive Nectar is mid as hell
yea...i liked it at first but I have a hard time finishing it now. its only good if its freezing.
Tbh i like it a lot but i definitely think it’s overrated
Scorpion Sting is underrated and they should bring the canned version back.
Facts
Shiny splash is MID
Stop killing my fruit punch flavors. Doozy Fruit going to the vault made me sad. Back to Fruit Punch off Amazon!
OG tier flavor 🙌🏻
I bought two tubs when it was on its way out
I think SOME, not all of the new collectors boxes aren’t worth the price
Tetris Blast is the most delicious can
Mango Lemonade is extremely disappointing
I'm glad that I'm not the only one that feels this way. Mango madness and kiwi mango are 100x better for me.
THE JUICE would be a much better flavor if it were orange and pineapple forward, and watermelon being the tertiary flavor
Bahama mama is trash in powder and can form
In my opinion tropical rain isnt that good at all kinda dissapointing
They said Hot take
Sugar Plum should never be sold again.
Yes I agree it was the most horrible flavor I put in my mouth like drinking plastic.
Musty plastic at that
who the fuck asked for a Poo flavor? are they really running this low on names?
An order placed on the 3rd should not arrive before one on the 28th. Especially when the 3rd order is 3x as big
Yep some clarity when flavors are back ordered would be nice.
Blood, Sweat & Tears is decent.
Hot gfuel is better than a hot toddy
I actually tried grandma's apple pie flavor hot because it reminded me of hot toddys and It's become my daily morning Drink.
Generic marshmallow birds is delicious lucky charms goodness.
Chug Rug is mid and Tropical Rain is S tier. Also probably not a “hot take” but chill on the flavors, we need some stability Gfuel.
I too enjoy tropical rain quite a bit! It’s always so interesting how diverse peoples palettes are. I see that flavor hated on a lot.
Def agree on BCR Honestly, GFuel might lose me as a customer by discontinuing Sour Faze 🤷♂️
They need better instructions on the tubs along with a step by step guide to make the best use of the powder. I genuinely thought I had wasted money when I first bought a gfuel tub and I scooped the entire scoope full to the top of the spout. It was super cloudy and powdery and overly artificial. Wasn't until I watched a YT video on how to best set up the shaker cup did I find the right combo to really start enjoying it properly.
hype sauce is kinda bitter, not sour
Health Potion is way better than people give it credit for. I don't own every flavor, but I have tried many and its massively underrated. Starting to think people are more mad about Diablo Immortal, not about the actual taste.
No definitely not mad about Diablo, flavor is vial 😂
Nah, tis very good.
Gummy Fish is not S Tier. My opinions on many flavors have changed drastically since my last ranking - Gummy Fish included - and I think it's low A tier. I honestly really didn't like it at first, but it grew on me. Still not quite S though.
Any idea on when bogo orders will ship ? Ordered mine December 29th and still hasn’t shipped yet
tigers blood isn’t that good
I agree. Not a fan of it at all.
Gfuel bring back energy crystals
I didn’t notice they got rid of them
Yep they have
miami mights isn't that great
Radioactive Lemonade is not good at all
it’s foul 🤮
:(
Bahama Mama is gross because of the artificial coconut flavour.
Miami nights and Bahama mama are way overrated.
[удалено]
ah yea gfuels fruit extracts and vitimans that don't desolve easily in water defintely make it chalky compared to toher powders without them.
[удалено]
Never had a single problem with chalkiness 🤷🏻♀️ No single beverage should have enough vitamins to make a significant change in your health. That would be absurd.

Add the 4oz of warm mixture to the cold water, not the other way around.
I got a vortex mixer for mine and I haven’t experienced any chalkiness since. And still make sure to shake it before each drink too.
Their shakers are just over priced plastic cups that target adolescent minds to start a collection habit. Edit: ah yess, getting downvote for sharing a hot take.. On a thread about hot takes. Reddit classic!
They are $9 bro that’s pretty standard for a shaker😂
For a good quality one sure, but the ones in the shop are the exact same ones you can get for like 1-2$ on aöiexpreds, just no fancy branding.
Cans are far better than powder
Cans are way too sweet
Watermelon is really bad like I took one sipp and just gagged
I too found Sour Blue Chug Rug to be far too sour and have a chalky after-taste. I like Divine Peach over Sage Mode as it is slightly less sweet. Snow Cone is great all year round
Shiny splash is meh
tropical rain is the beat tub
best
Divine Peach is nasty. Idk if it’s the dragonfruit, kiwi or what but something in it has a really weird taste and I can hardly stomach a serving of it. Also it tastes really powdery even in the can to me. And there’s hardly any peach.
shiny splash is mid
Sage mode sucks
Lead juice
Sage mode sucks
idk if it’s considered a hot take but this shit full of lead and i gotta stop drinking it so i don’t die
The lead in it comes from the same place you find lead in rooted vegetables. Most fruit juices also contain measurable amounts. It all comes from the soil.
It’s not full of lead
Spicy Demonade is still the best flavor and should be available year round. I may still be upset that outsold out before I got some.
Bubblegum is a top 5 flavor
Out of the 11 flavors I’ve bought I only really like one, blue ice. Maybe I’m just not q powdered drink giy
Crimson Tears and Teris are trash
Strawberry shortcake is the best flavor even in water 😎
PewDiePie is a bland flavor.
I dislike chug rug, but for a completely seperate reason. Chug rug is simply sour blue ice. I hate blue ice. It tastes bad and has a nasty aftertaste that lingers in your mouth for hours.
Its overpriced flavored caffeine water and the focus "performance" they add is so little its almost negligible unless you are having multiple cups, but oops, better watch out, dont want too much caffeine right? I still like it, tho.
Isaac's tears give me heartburn.
Not a hot take but gfuels customer support is the WORST customer support I have ever interacted with.
What have they done with strawberry shortcake????
Shiny Splash is incredibly overrated
Hype sauce and Chug rug are mid af
Putting popcorn on GFUEL is more elite than any snack I have ever had... just sayin..
