I like to consider him a friend from the old days of Twitter. Seriously. Check out the time he quote-tweeted me. > A [#Moana](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Moana?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=theomnicosm.com) and [#Baywatch](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Baywatch?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=theomnicosm.com) double feature. That's a rainbow of stimulation. You're a well rounded lad.

It’s something I remembered as I gave the new **ZOA Energy Shave Ice** a taste. In between making movies like *The Smashing Machine*, the live-action *Moana* remake and *Fast Forever*, Johnson also dabbles in energy drinks. As I’ve mentioned in previous editions of **Snackology**, I love an energy drink. But this was the first time I’ve had a ZOA Energy ... ![Snackology](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/size/w1600/2026/02/snackology-substack-logo-new-1.png) Welcome to Snackology!

I know that the average person doesn’t pour an energy drink out into a glass, but if you want to fully experience the Shave Ice flavor, take a look at how blue it is. I’d believe that Johnson melted down a bunch of shave ice for this beverage. This is my first experience with ZOA Energy, and I’m already a fan of how the energy drink — despite being sugar free with only 10 calories — doesn’t have the artificial taste that you sometimes get from zero sugar sodas that use alternative sweeteners. Since this is a review of an energy drink, you’re probably wondering how much caffeine is in a can of ZOA Energy Shave Ice. You ready for this? A 12 oz. can of Shave Ice has a massive 160 mg of caffeine! That’s more caffeine than you’d get from a 16 oz. can of Monster Zero Ultra. Excuse me while I go belt out “You’re Welcome” to burn off all this caffeine ... ### Snack Score 4.0 Out of 5 ![ZOA Energy Shave](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/05/IMG_8084.jpeg) ZOA Energy Shave [ 🍪 About the Snack Score → ](https://www.theomnicosm.com/snackology-snack-score/) *ZOA Energy Shave Ice was provided to *Snackology* for this independent review.* ![Snackology](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/size/w1600/2026/02/snackology-substack-logo-new-1.png) Snackology is a publication of **The Omnicosm**.
