Function Drinks Invade The Syndicate

Recently, the office was blessed with a sampling Function drinks, which claim to help us relax, enhance our mood, improve our memory and fight hangovers using the power of all-natural ingredients.

I have to say – so far so good!

My mood honestly did improve after drinking Brainiac – which tasted like fruit punch, but in a sweet fruity way, not in the cough-syrup kind of way. The flavor is slightly stronger than Vitamin Water, but not as intense as a juice.

Vacation is my least favorite flavor so far – based on coconut, it actually DOES taste like coconut, and not fake coconut flavoring. It hits your tongue with a weird flavor, before it smoothes itself out. This is the only instance I can think of where I preferred the aftertaste to the taste.

Fan of Cran-Grapefruit Vitamin Water? Then check out the Urban Detox flavor…or just use it to cure a hangover. (I have not tried this as I do not drink alcohol, and hence, never have a hangover…but I’ve heard it works!)

Right now you can buy it in Whole Foods and other health food stores, as it IS an all natural drink made by a doctor, and is sweetened with natural cane sugar, not corn syrup or processed garbage. Hopefully one day we’ll be able to find it in the neighborhood bodegas, but I’d say it’s worth the wait in the Whole Foods check-out line.
