It's hard to describe. I guess it has a vanilla taste to it, but it's really good.
I just quit them again, so I hate them. At least, that's what I tell myself.
But I want one.
I quite liked Rockstar Recovery and the Monster Rehab stuff. Otherwise, sugarfree Monster Ultra (white can) and Sugarfree Rockstars were good. Worst drink I've ever had was Rockstar cola though.

Do the added vitamins and supplements actually work, at least in some capacity? Obviously them as notropics is bullshit (but then again, I am skeptical of Nootropics being snake oil).
Do not get addicted to these. I used to need one every day to function. I would have an insane crash afterwards and it would make me feel completely depressed. Eventually they stopped even working for me and I would get heart palpitations. I'll honestly maybe never touch one every again in my life.
they're a weapon to kill the health of the working class, who are lured into drinking them by the promises of enough energy to sustain their 3 jobs then murdered by high blood sugar and caffeine intake
This is crack.
I like the blue the best, but the Ultra series are good.
I drink coffee everyday. I buy the bulk stuff at Costco and make it strong af. 20 bucks a month roughly.
If you're one of the people that buy Starbucks every day (including weekends) then I can see that being over 150 bucks. More if you go to local shops.
Fuck...
I NEED my fucking Dexedrine.
Caffeine, energy drinks, these shitty vitamin supplements. All worthless.
I have to drink two 240mg rockstars to even feel anything so I stopped for a few weeks. Felt like shit.
Sorry, dude. Sounds like a rough... night? I'm gonna guess you're over here. Just don't end up scalping fake tickets to your friends for more Cougar Boost.
You havent lived
I used to blackout from three or four original four lokos for like $8 total. Sad they got changed. Thanks Obama.
in 20 years they'll be considered health risks and our kids will look back at us like we did our parents and cigarettes. Shit fucks your body up.
It blows my mind some ADHDers are able to self Medicate with caffeine. It amazes me the world of difference that come with actual FDA approved medication versus shitty self medication.
You havent lived
After having drank many of these in my early twenties, I'm surprised I haven't died.
Anyway, I'll drink an energy drink sometimes. One time, I drank three Monster Imports, had an anxiety attack, thought I might seriously die, and couldn't sleep that night.
They might make the caffeine effect stronger, but also might be placebo (the tingling means it's working).
More and more research confirm that supplementation is bullshit and you derive most nutrients from a varied diet.
I still love my Rockstar, but the vitamin part is BS.
Also, that caffeine pills and powders are popular with young adults and weight lifting. That's way more dangerohus than drinking a Redbull to start your work day.
Caffeine pills are the fucking worst. I tried that when I couldn't get stimulant medication, one hour of a mild motivation boost followed by the shittiest crash known to man. Fuck that.
And yeah, I can see where people would get the idea that Vitamin supplements have a positive impact on health, because the body simply functions better when it receives vitamins (b, C, D) and other substances (Naicin, Iron, and other essential amino acids). But it's a waste of money to buy stupid supplements when we all we need to do is just eat right.

I enjoy them every so often. I like trying new flavors from time to time. When I can find it, I quite enjoy RX Energy from Arizona. Otherwise I may pick up either the red or the green Amp (I don't know their actual flavors off hand), but they're usually kind of pricey. And Monster has always tasted like chalk to me, so I avoid that when and if possible.
I prefer coffee. Cheaper, more caffeine and I don't really like to drink sweet tasting things unless I'm hung over.
Used to drink a particular one when I was 16-18 for the taste (Mother Sugar Free)
Had one a couple years ago and was beaming lol. Noticed my pupils were dilated and effects felt like speed.
But would rather not... in simple terms they are yucky.
Can't beat the taste of a coffee.

If you drink too much, your heart goes haywire. And too much is like, two cans in a day. My heart is doing jumping jacks after that.
I don't need them, or stuff like 5 Hour Energy.
I work graves and never made drinking those things a habit. I'd drink one occasionally, but it would not have a good effect on me. I haven't had an energy drink in nearly 10 years, and that number will keep climbing.

Energy drinks are the skateboarding cousins of beer.
Assume they're just as bad for you--both in terms of your long-term health and immediate ability to function without embarrassing yourself in public--and drink responsibly, and there's no problem.

I recently saw a good friend of mine who I hadn't seen in over a year. He's a long haul trucker and says that when he's on the road (which is over 90% of the year) he'll finish off a 4 pack of sugar free Monster through the course of his driving day. He also keeps a piss jug in arms reach to minimize pulling over for pit stops. He knows his consumption is no bueno but says he cannot make it through a day without it.
He also looks like he aged around 10 years from just a year ago - but he blames that on the cigs...
