These things are such a scam.
They take like 3 seconds to drink and taste like sour juice.
>>
>>21651821
Yeah but Republicans told me they give you wings and I follow blindly
>>
Monster MOGGs
>>
first generation (i think) energy drink that beat all competitors and keeps itself alive through massive brand power
cause it really tastes like ass and is only half the size compared to monster/rockstar
>>
who the fuck wants to be drinking an energy drink for longer than three seconds anyway. just get it down and over with. monster is superior however
>>
>>21651839
If i'm spending $6 on something that shit better last me at least 3 minutes. If I can get a can of soda in the breakroom vending machine to last all break there's no excuse.
>>
>>21651821
It tastes very good. You just have a child's palette, very unfortunate (for you).
>>
Energy drinks are meant to be enjoyed by skulling the whole thing and then feeling your pupils dilate and your veins pulse and a feeling of invincibility swell inside you and if you didn't condition yourself to have this response back in the red bull hype wave of 2006 your opinions on energy drinks are invalid.
>>
>>21651821
you need to drink the flavored ones bruh
>>
>>21651857
funny we often described the taste of red bull as being like gummy bears when we were children
>>
If you gave me one right now for free I would literally drink it. (If it's dragon fruit flavor)
>>
>>21651921
so in other words you value this beverage at $0

God I miss this stuff. Tasted amazing for just 40 calories but for some reason there's little to no market for low-cal drinks, it's all either 0-10cal or full sugar.

I wish I got to experience FourLoko

>Sweet drinks that taste like bubble gum and are marketed with cartoons and fighters are for adult palettes.
Tell me you're a shill without telling me you're a shill.

>>21652155
You can still buy it and it's just as terrible without caffeine as it was with it. You can "fix" it by adding energy drink concentrate but if you're going to that much trouble just buy a good tasting energy drink and add some vodka. All the monster juice flavors work great for this.
>>
>>21652167
I appreciate what you wrote I do. But there's a difference between experiencing something and faking it. Its the difference between fucking and jacking off.

Monster supremacy

Try a celsius

the most ballsack energy drinks on the market

>>21652155
unless you have a vomit fetish you really don't
>>
>>21652155
just blow coke/adderall and drink hard alcohol. Thats the buzz 4loco was going for. I never tried it myself but blacked out jacked up enough times to know its usually trouble. Probably went off like a bomb in dorm rooms and clubs.

Every C4 I've ever tried is awful.
>>21652155
There's embers of its legacy out there. In the UK we have these, 16% more caffeine than a Monster by volume and approaching the alcohol content of some weaker wines.
>>
>>21653055
these taste like artificial crap. its just vodka and caffeine with the cheapest food colouring and chemical flavours
>>
>>21653066
I never said they tasted good, back in university all my mates would swear on having at least one before a night out but to me it just tasted like bad juice and grain alcohol, which is basically what it is.
>>
>>21653086
id rather just pour a shot in a monster
>>
>>21652155
Mix a Rockstar with the red white and blue 4loko and Shazam you're transported back to 2008 but won't remember shit

>Energy drink delivers energy quickly
This is a problem for you? All the other brands are wrong. If I need to be energised for something I don't want my gut filled with half a litre of fizzy water.

I used to combine these with the large cans of monster when I worked 12 hour overnights.
>>
>>21655165
hi Mr. Ghost
>>
>>21651821
"they take 3 seconds to drink" has got to be the most retarded way to express the problem that they are overpriced for their volume.
>>
>>21655068
I used to love these before there were so many energy drink flavors out there. Quick, effective, long lasting, and due to their size I didn't care if they were cold so I could just leave some in a desk drawer. Actually, does anyone know how the Kirkland brand is? They're a bit more economical.
>>
>>21655221
Just get caffeinated gum if you care about money and efficiency. They taste like bitter mint but give instant, precisely dosed caffeine and cost literal pennies. They also don't really go bad.
Energy drinks are for when you want to actually enjoy your caffeine.
>>
>>21655227
I hadn't considered gum, I'll have to check it out. Are there any brands that you know are good? I'd still like to know about the Costco shots though, they sit in an interesting middle ground between taking a 10 cent caffeine pill and sipping a $2.50 energy drink for ten minutes.
>>
>>21655240
Military Energy Gum is the classic and depending on where you buy it from is around 20-30 cents per 100mg piece, but there're plenty of no-name brands that work just as well - caffeine is such a dirt cheap ingredient you generally don't have to worry about getting scammed. "Maax" is one of those no-names with 125mg/piece for roughly the same price per piece. They all taste the same, which as mentioned is generic mint (or cinnamon if you so choose) fading into the bitter taste of caffeine.

Pure caffeine pills are even cheaper (~5 cents per 100mg), they just taste absolutely horrible and can be hard to swallow depending on both how they're made and how you personally handle pills.
I haven't tried the Costco shots though, unfortunately, so I don't know if they're any good.
>>
>>21652139
Bangs. That is all.
>>
>>21655174
This was when I was 19 or 20. My heart is fine but my sleep schedule lwas fucked for years. I don't do that shit anymore.
>>
>>21655401

redbull won
>>
Why can't you niggas drink coffee like normal people?
>>
>>21656602
coffee tastes bad
>>
>>21655068
It’s less like a drink, more like a drink
>>
>>21656612
So its just because energy drinks have juice flavors? You're like those guys on /fit/ who need candy flavored protein powder. Actual children.
>inb4 le stop enjoying things meme
Yes!
>>
>>21655068

>Sugar Free
Ah, so doesn't actually give you energy but some random ass chemicals that make your blood sugar drop and increase your appetite.
Fan-tucking-fastic.
>>
>>21651821
I was drinking monsters and red bulls and some generic store brand energy drinks almost daily for a year and a half and quit cold turkey two weeks ago. Been feeling like shit for two weeks straight now. Barely can concentrate, always sleepy, have zero energy to do anything. God damn it sucks.
>>
>>21656754
>drink energy drinks
>always sleepy
>drink more energy drinks to wake up
Fucking hell

Red Bull is the premium energy drink.
I'm sorry you're poor.
>>
>>21656754
>lotion by the computer
Cyrax is such a creature
>>
>>21651821
Not to mention the incredibly low caffeine content. Less than half of a monster
>>
>>21651821
Idk, Red Bull tastes fine to me. Tbf the flavor was originally off-putting for me, but I started to like the taste after abusing them in college
>>
>>21657984
Aw it isn't the flavor. The things taste fine and lots of fast food places have red bull infused sodas. But the amount of beverage is criminal especially for the price
