Battle of the Energy Drinks! There was a rally race on logging roads in Washington State years ago with the top 4 cars each sponsored by a different drink: -:Red Bull (Travis Pastrana) - Monster (Ken Block) - NOS (?) -:Rockstar (Tanner Foust) Funny situation. Drinks really had their targets on people who walk endlessly in the forest to catch a race car flying by for a few seconds.

First energy drink i had was a Rockstar. Was working in the warehouse at Canadian Tire, and went across the parking lot to Zellers on my break, and the rest is history.

The craziest thing about rockstar is they don’t even their best flavors over in the states. The flavor is called punched guava and it’s actually the best energy drink I’ve ever had in my life but you can only order it online from Europe or Australia.

They had those HUGE cans, with the twist cap, it made them stand out in the store fridge.

Rockstar was an awesome drink back in my news photog days -- I would get jacked on one of those and be ready for anything.

For similar brands/products that might be worth your attention, I’d recommend Celsius (which you mentioned in passing) and Olipop. In my experience with retail, I’ve noticed both of those products enjoy a surge in popularity within the past couple of years - especially with the up-and-coming adolescent and young adult population - which might indicate a paradigm shift toward unconventional yet “healthier” beverage concepts.

i used to love rockstar when they did all their fruit based flavors. now they make only their regular flavors, or at least only distribute their regular flavors. i end up with NOS most of the time now.

Rockstar has been my preferred energy drink for many years. Fruit punch or the Recovery series in particular.

Well, when I first came to Canada from India, I've never tasted Rockstar because we don't get them there and, once I tried, it quickly became my go-to energy drink over Redbull.

Great video!

Back in my energy drink drinking days I used to drink em all. Switch it up to get different flavors. NOS, Rockstar,Amp'd, Monster, Red Bull. I'm pushing almost 40. Those flavors remind me of highschool and my early 20's.

The occasional time I have an energy drink, it's usually Rockstar.

rockstar's regular zero sugar flavor is amazing and has been since before everyone else figured out how to make good tasting zero sugar drinks. they are lots of amazing ones now though. ghost is probably the most amazing flavors

Y favorite energy drink as a teen was adrenaline rush, I liked the strong grapefruit flavor. Rockstar is my favorite now for being conservative in sweetness, high caffeine, large can, and lower price; best of all worlds.

Yeah! Shout out to amp and kickstart! Both faves of mine.

I use to pick up a sugar free white rockstar energy drink every morning before school. It was such a highlight. Now that I'm older I switched to a white powder form to feel even more like a rockstar. Way more of a kick.

Great video.

I started drinking Rockstar in 2009. It dipped in popularity, and later on they changed the recipe, that was it for me. I drink Monster now (once a week)

Fond memories of 2011 and 2012 being stationed on an aircraft carrier and one machine on the entire ship having Rockstar Recovery lemonade - to my mind, Red Bull was for that mid-day power jolt, Recovery was non-carbonated and a bit gentler to start the day with. To this day I've never tried mainline Rockstar, only because it's not available in multi-can packs where I am now.

I never really drank Rockstar. A long time ago I might have the occasional Relentless, but now if I do drink an energy drink its usually Monster either Fiesta(mango) or Gold(pineapple).

i really like rockstar due of the flavors they have. monster does have a few but not like rockstar. i like the punch, the limited volt black cherry, the sugar free drinks. now they have a mini energy drinks which is good if i don't feel like drinking a hole 16oz or i just need a little kick to start my day. and it reasonable affordable

I forgot about Rockstar, I used to see them everywhere about 10 years ago, but in recent years I just never see it in grocery stores anymore, Its all just Red Bull and Monster now, though I usually go for one called "Relentless" if I am buying an energy drink, but they are much harder to find.
