Verdict:
So...much...energy!

Double the Hit of V! More equals better...right?

Everyone has had 'those' mornings where you've woken up, promptly fallen back asleep through your alarm, and finally stumbled out the door to get to work, school or uni.

Coffee is a great choice for those who like it, but even if you do and just want something different - enter the energy drink, but nothing as exotic as Smart Energy, or LOL - this is V Double hit.

Usually you'll buy a can of the drink, and it'll come in a very small size of 250mL, which is still roughly comparable to some strong coffee, but now you can get something....bigger.

I don't mean sensationally bigger - we mean literally bigger - a 500mL can of V. With exactly twice the amount of the smaller can in every single way, this can means serious business.

But does it taste any good?

Cmon atomic. These days its all about the 710ml cans:

Give them a review. The fact that it comes in 710ml and has a warning 'do not drink more than 500ml' makes it badass.

V remains my favourite for taste - <3 red V.

Started using 500ml cans when Mother came out with the new flavour. Good to see V picking up on this.

In my case, a normal 375mL can is normally just a little more-than-enough as a drink. I find the 500mL cans to be good for sipping over a half-hour or longer.

Why not just buy 2 cans of V?

ahsoka, why buy two when you can buy a single one for cheaper, and get the same amount of drink?

Justin: You didn't mention that it was cheaper than buying 2 x 250ml cans.

ahsoka: Second page, paragraph six:
"A 500mL can of V Double Hit costs you about $3.50-$4, which is reasonable considering a normal 250mL can of V will run you $2.30."
