The low-calorie versions of FRS are the best energy drinks I've sampled so far. The wild berry flavor was a little weird at first, but once I got used to it it tasted just like the raspberry flavor of Crystal Light. One serving sustains me through a an hour-long workout consisting of interval and weight training without adding an unacceptable amount of calories to my diet.
However, the tops of the individual packages don't tear off cleanly and must be snipped with scissors, defeating the whole purpose of the "convenient", portable packaging. If you try to pour the package into a container of water without snipping the top clean off, things can get messy and being berry-colored, this stuff stains pretty bad. Also, the powder doesn't dissolve very well unless you shake the bottle real good.
I plan to keep using this product and will be thrilled if FRS fixes the problems.

I wake up at 4:30 am every day to workout and get things done around the house. I work full-time and do weight loss counseling during my lunch on top of it.
Enough said on why I need energy, right?
I actually hate the canned energy drinks because, although they worked, my heart raced and I crashed hard a few hours later and you could hardly wake me from a nap.
Enter FRS. I actually prefer to liquid concentrated version, to be honest. But these are good for when I travel or when I'm on the go since you have to refrigerate the concentrate.
Positives:
Works like crazy. There is a reason Lance Armstrong uses this stuff. That's not a plug, I don't work for FRS. But I do live in Austin with L.A. (well, not actually WITH him...anyhoo...)
Has less caffeine than 1/3 cup of coffee. No racing heart. No crash. No bad side effects
Provides all natural energy from quercetin and high antioxidants
Quercetin is currently being studied by the FDA as a treatment for obesity. No results yet, but preliminary use of quercetin resulted in weight loss in many of its users which put it in the testing. (Google it...it's too long for me go into.) I shouldn't say you'll lose weight from it because of that...I have no clue. I swear it helps me but it could be coincidence that I have more energy which results in doing more, which results in weight loss. Who knows.
I know I need to drink it, but I hate water. I don't use a full packet of this in my water so that I get more "water" in my ratio, but it flavors it well so I suck it down.
I love the berry taste.
Negatives:
This doesn't dissolve as well as other water flavorings. It often sticks to the side of my water bottle, or the bottom. Also, it can clump which means I'll suck in a tiny glob of it--this wouldn't be a problem if it were something like hot cocoa mix but the stuff has lots of vitamins in it so you suck in a clump and you get a tangy vitiman aftertaste
It's too expensive in my opinion for water powder. But I still buy it. It sucked me in.
I think the liquid concentrate is actually more potent but this works in a pinch when I'm on the go or to flavor my water since I am not a fan of water and flavorings are the only way I'll drink it.
Conclusion: If they had competition on an all-natural Quercetin-full powdered drink mix, I'd shop it in hopes for better dissolving and a lower price...til then, I just use it sparingly and I use the FRS liquid low calorie concentrate as my "go to" healthy energizer every day (especially in the morn and prior to any workout). I have that on automatic ordering through Amazon so it's actually 50% less than if I order it directly through FRS (I think the FRS site it a tad of a rip off for a few reasons) since it's 15% off that way and there is no shipping costs...that stuff is heavy if you order lots of bottles so it's worth it.

Works really well without the crash at the end of the day. Flavor is good!

I first tried FRS when I got a free sample in a package I ordered from a bike shop here on Amazon. To be honest, most drinks that cost this much is almost criminal in that most buyers thinking that they are getting some sort of magic potion to make them feel better, run faster or jump higher. Most of the time you would be better buying sugar free Kool Aid and adding a couple of vitamin tablets to it. There is no scientific basis for sports drinks except for one caveat. If you sweat a lot during your exercise, you will do yourself a favor by replacing electrolytes and a few calories but stay away from a lot of sodium salts. Having said that, this drink and many others should not be used by people who have GERD (gastro-esopogeal reflux disease) as it will cause reflux and heartburn due to the citric acid in the drink. Overall, this drink and many others really have no value for most people and considering the price of these additive type drinks, you can purchase a membership in a health center and then drink water when your there. I am a bicyclist and often ride in very hot, humid weather and I drink a watered down sports drink, but its cheap and only has a few calories and can be purchased at a local big box store. Save your money and don't buy expensive drinks like this one.

Here are the cons:
1. Its way too expensive
2. It mixes terrible. The best way to mix it is putting it in a water bottle and shaking it.
3. The energy effect is marginal. This isn't redbull or Emergen-C.
Pros:
1. I love the taste.
2. Your not going to get fat on the 10 calories per serving diet flavors.
If you have never tried FRS before, I'd recommend picking up a 4 can pack at GNC (or you can order it online.) If you hate it, your not going to like this.
Personally I drink it two or three times daily and have been for the past three months. I started with cans but the weight and space that takes up is fairly significant. I switched to the powder, which definitely is different, but it is an acceptable replacement.
