Desk setup, spreadsheets, and a cold Monster Strawberry Dreams. Somehow makes work a little less boring 😅

Went out looking for Pina Colada Bum but no luck. Hadn't seen the grape or cherry frost so I gave them a shot.

Sour strips apple berry has eluded me all summer was happy to see a few cans of it.

And bloom I've really enjoyed lately...every flavor I've tried has been a hit with me. So looking forward to trying another.

Disclaimer: the ghost yoo-hoo has no caffeine. I just like ghost and yoo-hoo 😅

Whenever I visit the motherland I always make a Woodman's run (IL). Checked the energy drink section, there they are!

Finances have been tight recently due to some car issues, so I’m resorting to the Dollar Tree to satisfy my caffeine addiction. Curious to hear what the people in this group would prefer. I ended up grabbing a Rainbow Unicorn Bang. 225mg of caffeine in those tiny little cans. Seemed like the best “bang for my buck” (pun absolutely intended).

No bitterness, goes down smooth, tastes like it says it does

It tastes like a sweet I've had before but I can't quite think what that's sweet is

This flavor is a reminder that orange strawberry is a great combo that unfortunately doesn't get made very often. The sparkling ice with caffeine version is the only other one that I know of. This is quite a bit sweeter. The Canadian version doesn't have the 2 grams of beta alanine that the American version does. I would definitely consider picking up a couple more of them next time I'm in Windsor.

9.2/10

This is my new crack. Unfortunately this one is really difficult to find, at least where I live. But I love it so much I ordered a case on Amazon. By far my favorite C4 flavor next to the Hawaiian Punch (literally tastes just like Hawaiian Punch, idk how they do it!) but this one is amazing. A very smooth pineapple flavor that's not too sweet and not too medicinal tasting, no weird aftertaste. I'm really liking this one.

I've been eliminating full sugar energy drinks from my diet over the course of the month and this makes me not miss my old vices at all (farewell NOS guava) lol.

If C4s are your jam, give this one a try if you haven't already. I hope they don't ever discontinue it

Found this by a place near my work. it tastes pretty good, almost like monster.

Bought this at a store and thought it was a new flavor color is just off like it ran out of ink is it ok to drink or just a misprint?

Finally got my hands on this flavor from Ryse, and can confirm, it is SO good! It’s not overly sweet, and doesn’t have a weird aftertaste.

Imo this is a better grape flavor energy drink. It’s smoother to me

So my local dollar tree had dozens of these for 67 cents, lots of different flavors. At first I thought it was a great deal, how bad can they be for that price? However, every flavor I’ve tried has tasted terrible with a weird aftertaste. Even though they’re half the price, I think I’ll go back to bang or the other dollar tree options this week. What do you guys think about Reign Storm, is there a flavor that is at least half way decent? I tried orange , grape, guava strawberry, and tropical I think. Also, what do you guys think is the best dollar tree drink they consistently have in stock? I’ve been getting the “Lucky Energy” OG Luck flavor, people here seem to hate it but I thought it was decent

I feel like Aussie lemonade and white pineapple are my favourite monster flavour.

I’m hoping to see green Apple one.

I’ve had the Raspberry Cream once before but first time with the Root Beer. This is probably the best flavor execution I’ve had in an energy drink. Eyes Sunny D is also well done, but I’m not huge on OJ. Anyway, incredible

I’m not personally very familiar with these 2 brands but the flavors interested me and I was at the Vitamin Shoppe and saw them and decided to give them a try.

I snagged Grizzle Energy Mountain Buzz and Cherry Cola and also Gorilla Mind Root Beer and Rainbow Sherbet.

I was asking for suggestions recently for an alternative to Red Bull (because I was addicted; I’m 9 days off RB and Monster) and someone suggested sparkling ice lifesavers drinks.

It scratches the itch! Holy shit THANK YOU!!!!

I bet the sparkling ice starburst flavor drinks are even closer to the Red Bull taste!

Edit for context

😛

👎 Tastes like I’m drinking RAID wasp poison

First time trying this ghost flavor, it’s pretty good 👍🏾 I definitely see why it is a favorite amongst the people

Not bad. More cream than orange I think. Definitely a bit different from the other offerings in orange cream

I usually have 1 Alani on a Friday every few weeks. here it’s 150mg of caffeine I can usually get a few cups of coffee no issues and days I have an energy drink, I don’t drink coffee.

I drank it 4pm and was fine, felt a few heart flutters here and there. Then bedtime. I felt like I was spiraling. Nightmares after nightmares, I’d wake up to my chest feeling tight and heart pounding (watch says it would go up to 136.)

It’s the next day and I feel “hungover” tight chest, no heart flutter, slighter chest pain but my watch keeps telling me to rest. I am resting. I have also hit above 100 heartbeats more than 10 times today. I even checked out the app and it said my resting heart rate is higher.

I feel like it’s anxiety. It has been a stressful week and weekend. But I want to know if others have experienced this.
