Energy Drinks

[Midwit]

There's one in the UK by Tyson Fury called Furocity. It's cheap (£1 in petrol stations).

They were selling them for 50p a pop in my local Iceland a few months back.

Red Bull is such overpriced trash that I have no idea how it's one of the most popular brands.

The Thai stuff that comes in a little glass bottle is the business, but I really don't see the appeal of the normal shit.

Spoiler: slightly off-topic

The two new Monster flavors I've seen (Ultra Blue Hawaiian and Viking Berry) are great, along with the other somewhat new one; Ultra Vice Guava. Viking Berry might be my favorite of the "juice" Monsters, even over Pipeline Punch.

I generally hate monster. But I really like the ultra fiesta mango. Are there any other good zero sugar ones by them that don't taste like medicine? I like this one is basically juice. Blue Hawaiian is decent but reminds me of Jello cups

Also RIP MTN dew energy. I will never forgive them.

Anyone else try the ReignStorm Tropical flavor? It's good.

I tried the Peaches and Cream Monster the other day, it was pretty good? I was expecting it to taste like shit.

My roommates and I get 60 cans of white monster delivered to our door bi-weekly

I don't even know if I feel anything from energy drinks, but I keep drinking them because I like the taste. I mostly stick with the Arizona "herbal tonic", it's green tea with some citrus juices, herbs, and vitamins, but also a shitload of sugar/hfcs. 7-11 has a similar version with pineapple juice added that I used to get until the only 7-11 close to me went ghetto and barely decides to even open the store most days or will just close randomly in the afternoon. Last time I drove past they changed the name to "town name food pantry" so I don't think I'm going back.
As for Monster I love all the Juice flavors, especially Pipeline Punch or Khaos (the orange one, it might have changed names). The newest flavor I've seen the last month or so is Viking Berry, it's not bad either but the Rio Punch flavor before is better.

If you like the ultra fiesta mango you might like the ultra vice guava, it's got that same lower acid flavor profile while still being fruity.

The opposite end of the acid spectrum is my favorite zero sugar variety, ultra watermelon: acidic so it's like carbonated sour watermelon candy but I wouldn't describe it as tasting like medication. It also hides neutral booze such as vodka or everclear scarily good but I've sperged about that elsewhere.

I went from Rockstar to Reign to Ghost Energy. Reign is just little too sweet.

I tried that newish Peach Jolly Rancher C4, and it's the worst out of the 4. Disappointing too, cause I love the artificial peach flavor in other drinks

 

[Demon King]

Honest question: What is the weirdest flavor you've seen for an energy drink? And if so, did you try it?

I got to try some of BANG's early flavours before they went under again. But of all the flavours, Miami cola and Champagne were the weirdest and worst flavours. Apple Honeycrisp is the best flavour out of all of them. The Bang Keto coffees were also weird.

White Peach Red Bull is my go-to. I prefer the original with sugar but I need to lose more weight so stick with the sugar free version now.

 

[HarblMcDavid]

So I tried this because they do advertise monk fruit extract and I was curious what that tastes like since I have heard that stuff is a bit odd.

It tasted remarkably normal for a sugar free red-bull, and I wondered why.

Now the front of the can says "with monk fruit extract" but if you twiddle the can around to the back it says "and other sweeteners", which is right, because the 2nd ingredient after "carbonated water" is "erythritol", then 9th ingredient is "sucralose" and finally clocking in at the 12th ingredient is "monk fruit extract".

This is basically what the monster zero sugar flavors have for sweetener order and then they added a dab of monk fruit extract. Bottom line it's not weird at all so if the choice is between this and something truly unknown and possibly vile tasting it's a safe bet by comparison.

This does differ from typical Red Bull sugar free composition, which seems to only use Sucralose, so if for whatever reason you're concerned about the proliferation of erythritol they seem to be the primary company that avoids that ingredient most of the time.

The only energy drink you need is some tea and a ray of sunshine

That doesn't help on a shift that starts at 2 am

If only people could photosynthesize, instead of need other energy sources.

Bought a bunch of monster energy drinks. gonna rank them for the next few weeks.



Monster Cosmic Peach

This one was great! it tasted weird at first but i ended up really liking it. Especially the aftertaste. cant tell you much else since i drank it last week and dont remember the taste.

4/5



Monster Khaotic

Its alright i guess. The taste is very fruity but im not a fan of the aftertaste. Really doesn't stand out.

2/5

 

[Nut-Roaster the 2nd]

New drink recommendations: Celcius made a cherry coke that tastes pretty good. It's a bit like store-brand soda, but doesn't have any wack aftertaste.
8/10
