Lean (Fan Review!)

  Working the overnight shift has few advantages.  A less traffic addled commute to work is one. Another is that there is ample time in the morning to accomplish household chores with a dimension of ease typically not available to those working a more normal shift.  So on a sunny morning during post-shift down-time, I arrived at a rarely visited gas station en route to my last stop for the day.  As I described my petroleum needs to the attendant, I noticed a tall purple and silver can on the counter beckoning me like a lighthouse.  I looked closer and noticed that before me stood an as yet unrevealed Sodajerks.net worthy beverage. With newly purchased drink in hand, and enough fuel to power me home, I traversed the short distance to initiate the review process. 

  "Lean, Slow Motion...Potion" is the name of today's lightly carbonated and chilled beverage. A message on the back of the aforementioned can explained that a "Licensed Registered Pharmacist" concocted Lean, and that it will help me achieve a desired level of "swagga" both day and night.  Folks, I'll admit, I have a conspicuous lack of "swagga," so maybe this will be an edifying experience for me.  Also, I noticed a logo for a famous hip-hop music label's website on the back of the can, very interesting. Rappers drink this, and I may achieve some "swagga," potentially amazing deal!

  So the first sip of this alleged confidence producing brew tasted much like a grape kool-aid knock-off one might find at a discount grocer notorious for its health code violations. I do taste elements present other than the life depleting "grape" flavor that dominates this beverage, but honestly I don't know what they are, and I don't think I want to know.  I have taken a few more gulps, and the horrid grape taste chugs along like the cross town express.  I do feel somewhat more relaxed, but this could be due to the fact that it is close to my bed time, and I spent very little time in the land of nod yesterday.  I have no added "swagga," and I can't help feeling that I spent more time and money than I should have on mostly hype and very little substance.  This is an empty feeling indeed my friends.  A few minutes after finishing this drink the after taste lingers in my mouth like an unwanted guest, which forces me to chase this dog with something I actually enjoy.

Rating: Buyer beware. Ladies and gentlemen, I cant tell you not to buy a bottle of this.  But rest assured that I will be leaning toward a mainstream beverage on my next visit to the local petro depot.

If you look carefully you can tell that the drink itself is actually leaning.

This LEAN drink is great! It really does relax me when I have had a long day. I think alot of the swagga term is taken way out of term. Of course if you dont have some type of swagga then this drink won't automatically give you some. lol But its just a great way to feel chilled and relaxed without taken all that illegal stuff like (weed and prescription drugs) people be taking.

Hey everybody is different. I thinks its personally about to blow up and be the next big thing out. I see it in convenience stores in Louisiana these days. All I know is that I've had that Drank and Sippin Syrup stuff before and those do not even compare to this Lean. I like all 3 flavors too! My friend used to say that Red Bull taste bad. But now look, everybody is drinking it. I guess you just gotta try it for yourself.

Its pretty obvious that the long comment was left by some public relations dude that works for Lean. This drink is a joke and pretty racist if you ask me. Dont buy this drink.
