According to my internet research Bing cherries are either named after: the sound they make when you drop one in a steel bowl; Bing Crosby, who is rumored to have ate five pounds of cherries a day; Bing the search engine, Microsoft buying the rights to the fruit in some bizarre marketing scheme; or 19th century Manchurian Chinese foreman Ah Bing, who oversaw the cultivation. Funny thing, the internet. Even though it doesn't come out and say it, and even though I found this in the produce/health drinks section, I'm pretty sure this is an energy drink. It says there's 5% cherry juice, but It has taurine, caffeine, ginseng root, and guarana seed, as well. It also has beta-glucan, acai berry, and flax seed, which according to my internet research (which it's totally untrustworthy) may in fact, be something that won't destroy your body. You shouldn't be taking my advice on medical matters anyways, I eat all kinds of crazy stuff. It tastes pretty good for an energy drink, better than Red Bull at least and it pairs well with vodka. The taste is sweet but still doesn't quite mask the taurine flavor that is common to most energy drinks. Not that it's any of my business, if you want to be healthy and energized, shouldn't you be doing yoga or something and not searching for it in a can? Meh, I'm a slacker, this'll do just fine for me.
