Redbull is overpriced and tastes like the most generic energy drink flavor and Rockstar has no decent sugar free options (although blueberry Rockstar was pretty decent if I recall, but I don’t like the idea of having so much sugar). Leaves only Monster.
I find energy drinks disgusting, the sweetness is overwhelming, and I generally don’t mind sweet drinks, but there’s something in those that just disgusts me.
Monster white isn’t sweet for what’s worth, it has lime, but if you dislike them more power to you since they are not really healthy, besides the caffeine they have a bunch of stuff.
But really, if you need caffeine, your body is addicted and need to lay off the stuff for a while to get your natural self back. You shouldn’t need it to function.
Aldi Brand. ~$1 a can and I haven’t had a regular Red Bull in long enough that I’m no longer sure if they taste different. They’re pretty similar though.
Buy some guaraná pills, eat the dust out of the pill directly so the caffeine activates faster and then drink whatever non caffeinated drink you like, like orange juice.
Buying name brand energy drinks, in THIS economy? And I definitely don’t want to have half a liter of it in a container that can’t be closed, so if those three are the only options I pick Red Bull.
Redbull Sugar Free. Zero is not as good. Original is ok too. We gave a try with Monster Ultra (zero sugar) once, it was wayyyyyyy to sweet. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Rockstar in any shop
Okay, flame war time.
You need caffeine, but you also want some decent flavor.
Redbull, Monster, or Rockstar?
(Not including Reign because that is a “I need to do this 6 hour drive, fuck my organs” drink)
Coffee
Yerba Mate, Coffee, black tea, green tea, oolong tea, espresso
Monster. Mango Loco.
The best. All their juice versions are pretty tasty. The fruit punch flavors are also great.
I like Pacific Punch, but Mango Loco isn’t far behind.
If Pacific Punch is the almond one then it’s kickass
Oh you mean almond colour? 😅 I thought almond flavour at first and was very confused hahaha
No I mean almond flavour. I’ve drank an energy drink with similar sounding name and it had almond flavour, it was awesome
Ow, just a coincidence then I guess 😅

Redbull tastes generic same way as LOTR feels like generic modern fantasy. It sorta defined the whole thing and became the standard.
If I remember correctly, they changed the flavor a little while ago to be more broadly appealing. Before that, it was a pretty divisive taste

And I’m in Italy so coffee is life.

No worries, I make sure to compensate with plenty of different unhealthy stuff
That’s my current favourite. Here in Germany, it’s sold both at Penny and Rewe, tastes like lemonade and uses sweeteners instead of sugar. Bangin
Edit: And it’s really cheap. 60 Cents for a 0,5l can plus 25 Cents deposit
For the flavour, cafe latte.

I wish… caffeine makes me feel like my heart is going to explode. Harder stimulants are fine, apparently. I miss coffee.
Mega Force or Kong Strong since they’re the cheapest.

Might be useful if there was an Aldi within 1000 miles of me, PNW only has trader Joe’s and they don’t do energy drinks
Californian here, never even seen an Aldi’s.
2 of the japanese monsters in the little glass bottles that kinda look like thai redbull.

redbull, preferably the juneberry one but any will do.
drip coffee with hot cocoa mix, or chai masala.

Redbull Waldmeister and Grapefruit flavour. Probably not available outside of DACH because no one else uses Waldmeister/Sweet Woodruff as a flavour.
