Base and 'rosa pilled.

The king of price and quality

>>15573518
Never had these, what are they like?

Only the finest

>>15573508
you buy pink drinks? are you a girl or something

is it just me or have the recent monster releases been kind of meh with gold and watermelon?

they need to make a strawberry punch fruit one

>>15573584
I still havent tried gold, black, or melon. Are they not good?

>>15573508
Objectively the best. There’s no discussion to be had.

>>15573604
not bad just not amazing, B or c tier. the previous releases were with rosa and fiesta were much better.

I think black is out of production right? haven't seen it in like two years

This one is the only i buy because I like guarana and no other energy drink make that flavor, tried some monsters and I like some but is too artificial flavor wise

These little fuckers kick ass all day with no crash. I'd pay shill for em if they let me, sadly I have to do it for free. Usually sold at shady gasstations and racetracs

>>15573647
This thread is for energy drinks, not energy shots.

I've tried many and none of them beat this flavor of monster. If anything the regular redbull is a close second.

>>15573657
You can energy drink my nuts, nigga

>>15573584
I think watermelon is really good, but I've always liked the synthetic watermelon flavor used in candies and shit. What the fuck is gold and what flavor is it supposed to be? Rosè and that blue one sucked really hard.

>>15573684
gold is supposed to be pineapple

GOOD NEWS
CIGARETTE JUICE!!!!!!

>>15573690
Oooo shiet, I needs me dat. Rehab is probably my favorite line of monsters. I bought like (14) 24pcks when my local sam's club stopped carrying them and had a sale of $14/case. But I always like to try the new ultra flavors.

>>15573508
Who Moose Juice here? Britbong brand, pretty much same as Bang but they have the best apple flavour.

>>15573522
Orange is the decent one, the blue sugar free variety reminds me of cough syrup

are there any good cherry energy drinks still out there? ultra black is like gone now

>>15573631
These guys did a demo at my high school years ago. Best tasting of any brand, I just wish they'd boost the caffeine.

>>15573742
Bang Cherry.

I only drink the tripleshot coffees and Papillon after kicking the addiction to the original I've had since high school.
What should I pick up to diversify, bros?

>>15573744
I’m originally a Red Bull diehard but I gave NOS a try like a year ago and the original is great, and GT grape is unbeatable. I think the caffeine level is almost perfect 160mg/can, sometimes I don’t want a whole 300mg from a can of Bang or something like that. Although I do agree in the sense that if I’d change anything about NOS, I’d bump the caffeine up to 180-200mg. But at 160mg it’s still a very smooth, controlled energy boost, with that delicious grape taste.

This is the best one.

So is Monster not very carbonated or have I just been drinking flat Monster?
>>15573631
NOS is definitely my go-to. the grape is good, but a little too similar to grape soda

>>15574018
Is this still a product? I can't find it anymore.

been driniking these four mostly

>>15574226
Where? They're relatively new where I live and they are showing up in more and more stores by the month.

>>15574243
One of the hick states. I may just be overlooking it if it is still around.

>>15573508
Copied from my reply on /fit/:

>>15574507

Pic related is god tier.

>>15573584
I miss their ginger one and their baller’s blend fruit punch

>>15574640
My go to

>>15574018
I hope they make a zero version.

>>15575546
based ZeroChad.

>>15574018
I'd like these more without the fake liquor flavor, just give me ginger beer Monster.

>>15574082
The Ultra series is highly carbonated as diet drinks tend to be, the Rehab and tea ones are uncarbonated. The rest have a standard level of carbonation.

wish i could find somewhere to order online in the US

>>15575667
ok thanks for eating my image piece of shit 4chan

>>15574507
>sunrise
>undrinkable
pick one

>>15574242
why the fuck do the American ones say "JUICE MONSTER" kek

>>15573522
Tastes like NOS

>>15573508
Shit tastes just like a Pina Colada Slurpee. Can't go wrong with it.

>>15575726
Americans are retarded. Words are hard for them. It was the same with Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

>>15573508
Will these make me better at video games than coffee ?

>>15573508

>>15576244
Miami cola is best

>>15573744
your hs approved of an energy drink taste test? lol

>>15573631
They need more sugar free options. Nos is easily the best tasting, but they don't have a good sugar free line

>>15573508
its not fair that we dont get new sips in bong kingdom

>>15574640
i've seen it any its more expensive then regular monster. Whats the gimmick?

>>15573673
but can you butt chug it?

>>15573508
>energy drinks

Absolutely disgusting.

>>15573697
My nigga, this is the real deal

>>15573697
this

Found out the other day there is a sugar free version of the mango loco monster in the US and I'm fucking PISSED we don't get it in Australia absolute fucking doggery.

>>15575468
insanely good

they've been doing bizarre tastes here though like raisin-cinnamon

>>15573508
>jewish monster
No thanks

>>15573744
What fucking high school allowed a private company to come in and shill it's shit to kids?

>>15578434
>bang isn't jewish
did you see the stunt they pulled at cpac this year?

>>15575726
>>15576253

... it's a subbrand that uses juice.

>>15573647
lmao is that energy drink or a bottle of poppers

>>15573508
they seemed cool when i was a teen.
now i view them and people who drinks them as totally cringe.

>>15573508

Has ultra gold gotten to you lads? I have yet to see it locally

/S I P B O Y S 2 0 1 7/

Why all the coffee flavored ones taste like FUCKING CIGARETTE WATER
It's any good one out there that doesn't do this?

>>15579980
Honestly just buy canned iced coffee, I've tried almost every coffee flavoured energy drink and they all taste like shit.

>>15579081
seethe harder, kiddo

why are so many people sleeping on rockstar?
it was basically monster before the boom in popularity
it tastes better and it's cheaper, while almost all monster flavors taste like either lipstick or 90 cubes of sugar, except for zero ultra that's basically fanta and juiced which is alright

Anyone drink Reign? I see them all the time and they have some interesting flavors, but I've never bothered to pick one up.

>>15580152
The cotton candy ones are good.

>>15580162
How's the jalapeno or creamsicle? Those are the ones that caught my eye.

>>15580323
Haven't tried the jalapeno, but the creamsicle one is ok, a 6/10 probably. It's just a little too sweet imo.

>>15574507
>Ultra Black
BASED BLACKBRO. I can't believe they got rid of them in the US, I used to drink one every morning on my drive to college

>>15580152
I like the creamsicle, it tastes just like if you melted one into a can

>>15580453
Its still on the Canadian site I think. Rare up here nonetheless.

>>15573528

>>15581380
>>15581394
>energy drinks are the work of the devil
That's fucking metal

>>15580323
Jalapeno really isn't too bad

I finally had a chance to try Papillon today and it was good. Having had all of them now I'd rank the Juice flavors as follows.
Pipline Punch > Mango Loco > Papillon > Khaotic > Pacific Punch

Are energy drinks actually bad? Other than their insane amount of sugar

>>15573697
the older formula tasted so much better
new version tastes like gatorade

>>15580152
Reign has too many caffeine for me desu I drank one and was shaking and sweating and stuff, not a good experience desu

>>15575546
It's sugarfree where I live.

coke and meth you little cocksuckers

>>15580121
They stopped distributing all of them except the classic in plastic bottle where I live.

>>15573669
I never understood the memes with this one, it might be the worse of the whole range

>>15574640
King shit

>>15580121
They have few flavors, and fewer good flavors. The whipped ones are the only decent ones.

>>15582078
Literal viral marketing, got me to drink like 30 energy drinks a month for the past 3 years.

what's the best flavor of bang? I tried one today and it tasted like melted jolly rancher.

>>15573508
/sips/

>>15573584
I thought that gold was the best flavour in a while, but I'm also a huge pineapple fan
>>15581948
THANK YOU
I thought I was the only one who remembered when it was "White Dragon Tea" and tasted better.

>>15582268
60x60

>>15581562
I heard that the Monster logo is actually 666 in Hebrew. Can anyone confirm?

>>15584667
Bottoms up and the devil laughs

>>15573508
How picky would you say you are? 2/3 new sips I try are instant one-time-only. For instance, bang purple kiddles, with the predictive programming-type art design, I dumped that icky kiddles in the toilet where it belongs.

>>15573690
Yep, tastes a bit like a nice, ripe pineapple.

I can't find this anymore and I'm pissed. It tastes like cream soda

>>15585180
And another fallen soldier. Gone too soon

I don't know how you guys handle some of the shit like bang that has more than 150mg of caffeine. shit like that would give me a fucking anxiety attack if I drank it in one sitting

this is the drink i miss the most

Daily reminder that this is your King

>>15585197
Drink before lifts and only then. Feel like a goddamn berserker.

>>15585197

Nigger a couple cups of coffee is way more caffeine and tiny women do this daily you nigger

>>15585289
coffee doesn't hit me the same for some reason. must be the taurine and shit in energy drinks

>>15581862
Reverse your list and there's mine.

>>15585227
Hail

It’s more like tropical with a hint of that artificial banana flavour

this or manana

>>15582260
Did you give a name to your kidney stones yet?

>>15573508
Every monster ultra is horrible.

>>15585518
God damn POWERTHURST

>>15585524
Not him, but yes.

>>15573669

>>15573508
This is my go to.

What ingredients are required in an energy drink?
Caffeine pills alone don't cut it.
Sugar helps, but sugar free energy drinks aren't useless.
Coffee has no taurine or ginseng.

Is the non-carbonated stuff missing anything? I find it less effective.

>>15573631
28 Black Acai is objectively the best, but they've gone full pretensions by upping the price and only selling in bottle shops as a mixer.

>>15575468
Good tier. Red Bull blue, green, red and orange were all better.

>>15580121
There is no small can option and there are too few flavors. The latter is a serious problem since there is always a flavor of every other brand on sale at any given time.

>>15573508
>Post and discuss energy drinks.

Hypesauce is best GFuel flavor

>>15573508
Looks interesting. I'll try one out later.

Is there anything out there like this?

>>15589206
No, all of the current cola flavored energy drinks I've tried just don't taste right.

>>15589261
Did you try the Rockstar one? I tried it and it sucked. Tasted like medicine.

>>15589262
Samurai Cola I think they call it? Yeah, it's not good. Even the Coca Cola energy drink that came out last year tasted bad.

>>15581953
Where's that? It's 210cal in the states so hopefully they bring that version out here soon. I love ginger ale.

>>15576244
I like artificial pineapple but only in small doses, like in life savers or dumdums. I feel kinda sick trying to finish a whole can of that or that new monster zero gold.

>>15586450
So great Mike Judge got them to do Brawndo ads and they actually made it a real product for a while.

>>15589262
Can't really make a energy cola that doesn't taste weird since you're used to a specific flavor for cola. Best I've found is Bang Miami Cola which tastes just like haribo happy cola gummies.

What do you guys think of /my guy/ frostbite?

>>15582078
I've had friends tell me I fell for the memes because white monster is one of my goto EDs since I don't handle large doses of sugar very well and it's pretty much the only sugarfree ED that doesn't taste like absolute ass. Unfortunately, you usually can't get your hands on the other Ultra flavors around here.

>>15584803
I finish every new sip I try, except for one V flavour a few years ago that literally smelt like car tires after a burnout. That said I only really buy a couple drinks more than once, usually Monster ultra zero or Monster import

>>15589757
Not him but me too. Only one I couldn't finish was the mango Bang, and I've tried pretty much every sugarfree sip I find. Absolute dogshit.

>>15589774
This one? I tried it too and it was like drinking turpentine.

>>15589801
Yep. Fucking gross. People shit on the birthday cake one but I think it's fine, especially compared to those.

>>15589810
Yeah it's weird how awful it is, especially considering Peach Mango is a perfectly good flavor of theirs and both monster and rockstar have really good low/zero sugar mango drinks.

>>15589315
Northern Europe, it's 7 calories a can which I guess if from the ginger since it's 2 grams of carbs and 0 sugar.

>>15589810
To give Bang credit the birthday cake one did actually tastes like a good vanilla cake to me, but cake isn't really a taste that suits an energy drink as anything more than a gimmick

>>15573508
how the fuck do i stop drinking this shit.... i am so weak willed........

>>15573508
These are all the ones I've been able to find in my country, and some of them I can't find in store anymore.
This thread makes me sad seeing all those flavors we don't have here.

Is there was an online retailer where I can buy individual energy drinks for market price?

>>15590921
You probably can't get individuals for a good price, possibly you could get it from a restaurant/store via a delivery service but that will be expensive because of minimums. Amazon etc sells cases generally a bit below market price for individual cans but the price fluctuates quite a bit on Amazon (sometimes there are absurdly high prices when it is low on stock).

Also shout out to my boy coffee monsters.

/S I P B O I S/

Any way to reduce how many I drink a day? I think I'm basically addicted and can't function without drinking a minimum of 2 a day or else I get really bad headaches.

>>15585227
that'll do in a pinch but the sugar free is better

im fucking addicted to monster zero, they just taste so damn good. i would prefer bang but i cant buy the flavors i like in bulk packs. but monster zero doesnt seem to have a single bad flavor

>>15591928
Same here. Why should we stop? We’re probably rotting our brains, but at such a slow pace that it doesn’t really matter.

>>15591928
You taper off. Alternatively slowly drink a little bit when you have a bad headache until the headache disappears.
My current problem is I'm not tired at 1am, wake up at 8:30 dead tired, caffeinate until I can function, then repeat. And it's fucking Tuesday so I got to keep this shit up until Saturday.

Eurofag here.
If I was to visit the USA (most likely Florida or Nevada), which shops would have the most varieties of energy drinks available?
Let's say in Florida's case, would Walmart supercenters and Publix be good spots?

>>15593485
Any grocery store, though Wal-Mart will give best prices per each one. Gas stations have good multi-can deals but individual cans are ludicrously overpriced. Kroger/Fred Meyer have occasional deals but are otherwise on par with Wal-Mart. Safeway are generally wallet-rapists.

>>15593485
Definitely not Walmart, their selection is pretty basic and safe. If you want weirder and more obscure stuff then you'll have to hit up random gas stations and corner stores.
