@@CaffeineMan1 I was kind of surprised to have discovered the flavor at Dollar Tree, considering the brand’s recognition and popularity. I tried the flavor, and it was pleasantly flavorful to be placed high on the list this year. I suppose due to the flavor profile being deemed ‘too different’, it may have detracted attention from trying it out. I’d imagine kiwi and guava, especially in an energy drink, to be an uncommon combination. Overall, though, it’s underrated!

I agree with putting monster original zero sugar on the list. As someone who cares a lot about how many calories I'm consuming every day, it's nice to be able to drink the original now with basically 0 effect on my daily calorie limit.

@kropking

6 ай бұрын

@@CaffeineMan1 Yes, a HUGE upgrade. I actually can't stand the original Celsius. But the flavors in the Essentials line all hit the bullseye, for me. They're all on par with - or even better than - the Reign and Ghost versions that they're competing with. They have the best Cherry Limeade out of the 3 brands (in my opinion), and the Blue Crush is just as good as Razzle Berry. The Orange Cream flavor is better than Ghost's (but not Reign's), and just a few days ago I was drinking a Dragon Berry and it dawned on me about halfway through just how delicious/well done the flavor is. But it's not just the flavors that hit, the formula is potent! Most energy drinks only give me a mild boost, but every time I drink a can of Essentials, I feel legitimately wired!

@CaffeineMan1

6 ай бұрын

Glad to hear they work so well for you AND you love the flavors. Agreed they are 100% better than the originals and a great strategy to expand out to a different flavor profile so they have something for everything.

I totally agree with you that this past year was not the greatest for new drinks. I do agree with a lot of the drinks on the list but some of them I would have ranked a bit higher on my list. Your top three did kind of surprise me a little until I heard what number 1 was like and I should have known what that was. The Lychee Bomb I have not been able to try and really want too but Vitamin Shoppe does not have it. The Alani Nu kiwi guava I did not like as much at first then I had it again and started to like it a little more. The problem I have with that flavor is that I can really taste the sodium in it and there is 200mg of sodium which is plenty. The sodium seems to stand out a bit for me. It's still good but wish it did not have that much in it. The baddy berry I got a 4 pack of at Walmart and was really excited to try since I liked their other flavors. This I had a hard time drinking. I feel that the carbonation in this was really heavy and a bit too much for me and the taste was a bit too strong for my liking. Also, I don't like the can size at 11.2 oz, and they want $3.49 at Vitamin Shoppe for this and don't feel it's worth it. A lot of good drinks you have on your list I will say.

@CaffeineMan1

Glad you liked the list even though some of them may have been moved around for you. Was Abe $3.49??? Thats crazy. I mean, I agree with you about the price. I don't even want to buy 16oz cans at $2.99, let alone more for less.

Been drinking energy drinks since I was a young teenager when the only real ones around were the original Red Bull and original Monster. I’ve tried probably every single flavor ever released by both brands. I don’t usually drink the Java/Rehab/Sugar Free stuff ever. But main lines ones. Honestly, my top 3 favorite flavors that I never see anyone talk about were Moscow Mule Monster, Beach Breeze Red Bull and honesty the Blue I think it was Guava Full Throttle. Wish they would come back. What ever happened to Monster Mixxd? Nos Cherried Out and the Mango Nos too. Chai Hai Monster, that sh*t was good. Honestly, wasn’t a big fan of Aussie Lemonade Monster. Got old quick. Didn’t care for any of the seasonal Red Bulls in recent times, either. I hope Red Bull can get some good flavors going again. I would have loved a Grape flavor for summer, like white grape, but I know they have a flower flavor coming. I love how Monster has been doing flavors from around the world like Rio Punch for Brazil and Aussie Lemonade for Australia. They should do another juice one in 2025-2026 from a different country. Maybe a African one or something cool like that. Another great Red Bull was Arctic Blitz. Loved that!! I hated the Fig Apple and Pear Cinnamon. Also didn’t think Juneberry was anything special. Didn’t care for Dragonfruit or Watermelon. I’d like to see Monster do a new take on half and half lemonade and tea but add carbonation. Idk.

I'm surprised with all the energy drink drinking you do that you haven't got sick of different ones. I used to be an avid Monster drinker and loved every low/no sugar flavor for several years, but as soon as Bang came out and I drank a lot of those, Monster is completely undrinkable to me now. For some reason Monster flavor type drinks are disgusting to me now, and I think it has to do with the vitamin and flavoring type mix. I think G-Fuel uses the same type of mix as Monster because I get the same blech reaction when I drink those.

@kropking

Monsters have always been disgusting. 😄 Except for the Juice line. But, yeah, everything else from Monster has always been nasty, especially the sugar-free Ultra line.

Then factoring in what horrible people they are as a company, and there's no reason to ever send a single penny their way.
