What ratings mean and how we calculate them:

The Taste Rating is a value from 1 to 10 (1 being the yuckiest taste imaginable) entered by users of this web site to express their own opinion about the particular energy drink.

The Clarity Rating is a measure of clear thinking, awareness, or alertness that seems to be an effect of the energy drink (also a user submitted opinion in a scale of 1 - 10).

The Buzz Factor is how wiggy, freaky, jittery, or spastic one becomes when consuming this product. This rating is calculated separately from the Overall Rating due to that for some this is positive, and for some it is very negative. The Buzz Factor is calculated by the sum of all of the ratings entered for the Buzz Factor, then divided by the number of people that submitted the opinion.

The Overall Rating is the sum of all the Taste Ratings and Clarity Ratings, divided by the number of people who have submitted their opinions about that energy drink.
