Hyper

We all have a go-to drink; it may not be hyper for everyone, but a lot of people enjoy it. Hyper is a drink place that sells energy-infused drinks, coffee, smoothies, and muffin tops. Although Hyper hasn’t been open for a while, throughout the last year and the start of this year I’ve seen hyper everywhere. At least every day at school I see 10 or more people with Hyper.

Junior Olivia Reese said, “I like to get hyper before school because it gives me energy throughout the day.” Hyper just opened in August 2021 and has since expanded into 2 locations and 2 upcoming locations in just a year. There is a location in Waukee and Grimes, and West Des Moines is getting one and Iowa City is supposed to eventually get one too. The location in Waukee is pretty convenient, it’s a couple of minutes away from the high school and it’s pretty easy to get to. I think if it was further away from the high school then it definitely wouldn’t be as popular at school.

Hyper has many different flavors or kinds of drinks,. You can also make your own drink and choose what flavors you want. Pink Power, which has strawberry, watermelon, and white chocolate, is one of the most popular drinks that students enjoy. Senior Ellie Sullivan said, “My favorite drink at hyper is Dynamite and I love to get hyper when I need a pick me up.”

Most students get Hyper before school rather than after school or during the day, and an average of people get Hyper 1-2 times a week. Sophomore Britania Hernandez states “Getting it before school gives me energy throughout the day to help me stay awake.” Hyper is a great drink for all, and is a way to keep students awake throughout the day!
