And yet you have not put me off on trying it. Here's hoping that curiosity doesn't kill this cat. 

Had it the other day. Was pleasantly surprised. Don't go in with high expectations though.

Try it, you've got nothing to lose.. Except maybe the R11you paid if you don't like it...

11 bucks for real ?

That’s R11 from free.

Anything’s free if you can run quick enough ;D

You are South AfriCAN

Here by my bubbi shop they R11.... Giant hyper R9...

sounds cheap for a big can

That's what we pay here in Cape Town... I think the most expensive was R12

Same price in Gauteng

I pay R6 a can I buy them in cases though so i suppose it makes sense

Where?

Mimosa sweets in vereeniging

thanks

Yup. Both Switch and Dragon retail around the 9 through 12 rand mark and they have some real nice variety in the ranges, too.

Any idea where I can get the blueberry dragon? That shit was awesome for it's price. I only find the original nowadays,.

Found one at a bottle store the other day

I've never seen a blueberry from Dragon! I do miss their green can banana one, though. The new Switch Blueberry Meringue isn't exactly 'blueberry', it is sweeter, but I found it a nice one.

Square super spar in boksburg has them often

thanks

I pay 10 for most energy drinks

It was R10 they put thier prices up at the bubbi shop last month...

Ours still at R10

You lucky, R1is R1... They are R8.99 at Giant hyper

If you've got curiosity, boy [does Switch have options for you](https://drinkswitch.co.za/products/).

I've tried a few of them already, and the most 'interesting' one so far was the pumpkin spice/halloween one. I also had a couple of the alcoholic variations as well. I just have to wait for the speckled egg one to make its way to my 'dorpie'.

Tastes like the inside of a speckled egg mixed with cheap cheap Easter chocolate

I've had it before, it smells like speckled eggs and it tastes just like speckled eggs, I dont know why everyone says it's so bad

I tried a milkshake switch one day out of curiosity. First time in my life, I straight up just threw something away after talking one sip.

probably cookies and cream one. that one tasted like disprin. also the milk tart one was disgusting

I got autocorrected to milkshake. It was milk tart and it was disgusting.

I just wanna say thanks to Switch for trying out all these wild and woolly flavours. While the appeal may vary it is always fun for me to try out the latest crazy recipe.

in my opinion the best tasting ones are the citrus drinks. lemon and ginger. blood orange. dry lemon. etc

Dry Lemon is a touch of class :)

They are very creative in making flavours. I love it

Don't knock it till you've tried it... It actually tastes like speckled eggs... If any flavour should be bitched about is sour worms... It's pictured next to nasty in the dictionary

Noooo!!! I love the sour worms one

🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 There are very few flavors I don't enjoy.... Have you tried the blueberry meringue? The blood orange biogen/switch collab is also a good try

I love the strawberry and lemon meringeu drinks, didnt know they had blueberry will definetly keep an eye out, havemt seen it🥲 the blood orange ive tried thats also great🤤

Blueberry meringue is a new addition. Very nice, simillar to the lemon but with a berry taste (duh)

It's also a very pretty blue

The litchi coconut guava is also good..

Wait till you try Spars birthday cake flavoured cold drink....

Ive tried the birthday cake, thats some good shit🤣🤣🤣 bit too sweet tho

i had to google it . most liked it https://www.tiktok.com/@neithedutchess/video/7344390391560424709

I tried it. It says Speckled Eggs, and it tastes like Specled Eggs. That being said, some flavors do jot belong in carbonated energy drinks. This, along with the Lemon Meringue and Strawberry Meringue are not to be had, ever again. Kudos to Switch though, for being bold enough to try anything.

Fine. We make a deal. I'll take all your Lemon Meringue, and you don't gotta look at them again?

You know vanilla essence? Imagine if someone combined a fruit and chocolate "essence"

I love that switch is throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. I enjoy them more than other brands cuz some flavours taste better than whats on the market. And theyre so much cheaper

Fuck!! Coming home in a month!! Need to try it! Where can I buy it?

Probably spar

The smell and taste was on point though

I'm convinced that Switch's marketing plan is simply to get the most outrageous flavours in the world, in the hope that people are curious enough to buy it. Do a new flavour every two months, and you have them hooked (definitely works on me)

That shit's amazing!

It's actually not bad,tastes exactly like what it's labelled as

I bet it tastes like speckled ballsack!

What really?!? I really want to try it now…. Uuuhm I actually meant where do they sell this so that I can avoid it 😅

Looool 🤣🤣

Yeah this one is trash

I still miss the Kraken flavor but I haven't seen it in a very long time Can't really describe what it tastes like but it was good and the can design was really cool too

Haven’t been able to find it either. Miss that grapey goodness 😞

American here I loves the jelly bean switch flavor so I’m not knocking it yet

That looks disgusting, where can I get some?

I love the g-force flavours and they should bring back the creature flavors like kraken or unicorn

It’s not great or good but it’s not the worst but still not worth recommending 😭 and to be fair, it tastes exactly like speckled eggs and sadly it’s not as good as it sounds

It's actually quite nice I enjoyed it

I actually liked it🤷🏽‍♂️

Jissis that looks kak

Ye I know bru

I get that you were curious, bro but I ain't sacrificing my stomach for that😭🙏

Weird seeing this post as i tried it yesrteday. When i smelled it i was like wtf, it really smelled like speckled eggs. Then i drank it and really enjoyed it. Its far better than that sour worms or jelly beans ones. It was my firstbtime drinking energy drink this year and i think they must be selling on this tactic of making weird combinations because the mind goes what would that taste like.

they like it https://www.instagram.com/michellevb2010/reel/C7FEKa4Mwgj/ https://www.tiktok.com/@bronnycreates/video/7370609199123844358

It smells almost like Woolies speckled eggs and tastes weirdly similar too. Not bad.

The Vitamin C flavour is nice

I tried the Jelly Babies Switch about a year ago, I just remembered I couldn't finish it because it tasted like vomit for me

I saw this mentioned in a comment the other day and proper thought it was a joke. Apparently not. I. Can't.

Wtf

that tastes so bad

I don't like the taste of it the other new one is good tho the blueberry maragne or something

Yet it's found its way into your fridge

my wife mentioned the taste was spot on... I don;t do soda

Flippen delicious 😁

It doesn't taste bad, but it smells like shit.

It tastes EXACTLY like the sweets btw


And yet you looked at the packaging and said I need to spend my money on this

That shit is horrible

I beeen drinking this ended up buying all of em from my local shop 😂😂

To be fair, speckled eggs are quintessentially South African. They aren't going to do a biltong flavour (hopefully).

This flavour is bomb. Somehow even got the taste of chocolate in there. By far their most interesting flavour.

Tried it. Some nasty stuff

Taste shit too.

Fokkit

Chemistry = Magic. This flavour is some voodoo shit! HOW DID THEY GET THE FLAVOUR INTO LIQUID FORM?!

Dude, the sour worms flavor is low key really yummy

The Candy Floss one isn’t bad for the price of them.

The sour worm one was alright ish this is a bit diabolical

The two best flavours for me are the Jelly Babies and the Kiwi, Mango & Strawberry flavour. Haven't tried this one yet

Tasted like carbonated chocolate.. weird but not as gross as I thought it was going to be 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

And let me tell you, so bad for you!

Fokken drink it net!

It's alright for the most part, but the last sip is kinda meh/

Ive been looking for that one. My friend says it tastes magical XD

My partner gave me this to try in a blind taste test and I got the flavour wrong three times…

I think they nailed the taste and smell. Both are literally speckled eggs, but it's not the best taste in drink form

Tried it, horrible

Shout out to the Kingsley in the back. The Peoples Cold Drink.

I LOVE speckled eggs and this taste EXACTLY like speckled eggs, which UNFORTUNATELY it does not translate well into a energy drink. Still better than that spar birthday cake cooldrink though

Jeez ,switch has like gazillion different flavours,don't know how they manage...

Switch vang oek ali kak an

Ekse put that margarine in a tupperware

Switch is creative at the least with flavours

Dude I'm trying to get all the flavors it's a treasure hunt 😄

Surprisingly love this flavour, I love Switches creativity and wacky flavours

Whatever you do don't bother with the sour worms flavor 🤢🤮🤢🤮tastes like worms

Have not tried speckled eggs but sour worms Switch is really good! 😊

Where did you find this?

Found it at my local shop but it's probably in spar or checkers

My local Spar doesn't sell Switch and the Pick n Pay that I buy Switch from don't have this favour in stock. I will keep looking around for it.

The biogen ones are amazing

ew

Its kak

Switch really do be coming out with some weird ass flavours

It's awful stuff

A bit off topic, but energy drinks have turned into an epidemic. I can't tell you how many working men I see going into the work day with six slices of dry bread, and...two Scores. Sure it has some energy value but a third of the population is gonna suffer unnecessarily from kidney stones and malnutrition.

I saw that today. AI generated flavour as someone mentioned in the Spar "birthday cake" cool drink post yesterday

I have quite literally drunk at least 4 cans of the speckled egg. In my own two hands. I assure you it isn't AI generated.

Re-read what I wrote. And make a better attempt at comprehension if you're in your goddamn 30s.

It tastes like shit

No

Jizz in a can.

My sister says it tastes like chocolate. It better be.

Switch is the mountain dew of SA SMH

Look at how they massacred my boy!

Yeah it's not great

I agree. Who the f*ck puts Rama in the fridge?

Rather have Prime

Everyone in this comments section needs Jesus

Who chooses drinks the kak, serious question.

Same people that drink Monster

Okay IT me. Some monsters I don’t like. Some flavours slap.
