I'd happily pay £2.99 for them, but I wouldn't queue to get my hands on them or fork out thousands on eBay.Gridlock offers its customers a good value energy drink. Overall I was impressed with the drinks and I like that they are a healthier alternative. This was less sweet and the flavour reminded me of the raspberry slushies you can get at the cinema.

I didn't need to get up before sunrise, or queue outside before opening time. After hearing so many reports about 'madness in the aisles' as youths scramble to get hold of the sports drink, I couldn't believe how easy the process had been. I bought one Tropical Punch flavour and one Blue Raspberry which were priced at £2.99 each.

I went inside at around 5.15pm and couldn't find the drink anywhere on the shelves.
