I will like do say thx you for this review. I might try some more bang even though they are not my all time favorites by heart, I will show some little kindness by buying some more then usual.
WOW, Reign literally copied everything Bang did, from can design,caffeine amount, ingredients AND Bang has to pay Monster!? Those lawyers must be incredible.
Bang sometimes has a weird undertone to the taste. I do really like a couple flavors, but have moved away from that brand in favor of others. Ghost is my favorite. 300mg probably is too much for a can.
@Anthony Mercado I jumped HARD on the Bang bandwagon when it came out and since turning 30 years old this past year, I’ve had to dial way back on the excess caffeine intake due to higher blood pressure, with the common denominator being realizing how Bang energy drinks were becoming an almost daily part of my life, even on most weekends. I do think Bang has too much caffeine, but do not blame them for my higher blood pressure. Just like anything else in the world, everything needs moderation. Lol
Idk about you but compared with every 300mg energy drink I drank? All bang did was give me gas cramps and indigestion, like my body drank diet soda. All that wriggling in my intestines and that feeling like "I'm gonna die" from how much pressure built in my upper abdomen and...ouch. Reign doesn't do that to me, but it still has diet aftertastes. Orange Dreamsicle was quite the life saver. I'd have to wager they modified the formula to make it you know, good. And absorbable. It actually packed the needed punch of a 300mg energy drink. G-Fuel canned is merely Bang 2.0. I debate on 2.0 since it's literally the same drink with different labels.
I’m seeing Bangs less and less in stores now. 2019-2020 they were absolutely everywhere, but now it seems they are becoming overshadowed by newer energy drinks. Even reigns are less common than they were 2 years ago.
Weird, Orange Dreamsicle should be selling by the cratefull. I will admit though, Bucked Up (a new kid in the 300mg playground) has an even stronger kick than reign. Just a nastier taste.
PIPPO-10 so is monster with their reign line saying no calories when it does because the bcaas in the drink they all scam people they manipulate the calorie counts as well
I immediately picked up that there wasn't a significant amount of creatine in Bang, since they avoided actually listing the amount. Which is important if you are trying to make use of it.
Ironically enough, they never said how much of any of the ingredients were in there besides caffeine and Im fairly confident thats the main reason people who worked out used it. They wanted to energy from the high caffeine. If you're serious about working out, you know you're not going to get your proper dosage of creatine from an energy drink can.
I used to drink Bang all the time and LOVED it so much but I feel like ever since they went mainstream and started being found in most stores/supermarkets that the flavor isn't consistent anymore.
They own over 19 other companies so Im sure they would have no problem taking them over. The number 2 company in the world buying out the # 3 company may be just what it needs to overtake Red Bull 😂
I think there's just going to be a minor shift now that distribution is changing hands. I have also noticed different quantities in stores, as well as changes to Celsius. I went to one store that had an entire row of empty cans, no Celsius, so definitely something in the distribution change.
Hi caffeine man, i just wanted to say i appreciate the content you make and hope you will blow up soon, i was really surprised that you didn't have at least a million subs as the quality of your content is really good!
Thanks so much!!! I appreciate it! And you're not the first to say that so it makes me happy that so many people see all the work that goes into my videos..... but.... apparently Im still doing something wrong. 😂😂😂
Thanks for the great breakdown CFM! I agree, Bang opened the Energy Drink market to unique flavouring systems. They were also the first to start thinking outside the box. However it was Greed that was the crippling blow and personally feel this was self-inflicted. I owned a Supplement Store from 2009 - 2012. Truthfully VPX was a brand built on high quality, well formulated products across the entire line. From Protein (Stealth); Pre-Workout (N.O. Shotgun) and Redline Xtreme RTD’s. I remember when Bang first hit the market. Everyone wanted to get their hands on it, even my fellow Canadians and we only got the brand here a bit over 1 year ago. Let’s be honest, it was hard to avoid flavours while I can’t stand Black Cherry Vanilla, let’s be real, they were the only ones with it. That in itself was exciting.
I gotta admit the flavors are amazing and even though I personally don't like to have a 300mgs energy drink, I do pick up a Bang on RARE occasions just to get one of those unique flavors (like Rainbow Unicorn or Bangster Berry)
I'm glad you made this video you were the first person to inform me on the battle way back when. I am liking the bang deals Hy-Vee had 3 bang for $5. My Walmart I work at has literally no Bang left.
Haven’t had any BANG drinks for a while ever since my college replaced them in the vending machine or maybe some people bought it since it was running low in the slots. I also try not to have 300mg drinks and try stick with stuff that’s lower than that like C4 for example.
It sucks that Bang is going down...Never tried them sadly, cuz they are not available here at all. Also a suggestion: can you check out and review the Hell energy drink. Its quite popular here in Bulgaria and i would love to see your opinion about it.
I couldn't get my hands on all the drinks, since its expensive to ship to the US, but I was kind enough to have someone send some to me, so heres the review: ruclips.net/video/WLu60ZKMly0/видео.html
Great review Caffeineman! Down here in Texas Bang is now being distributed by the Miller beer distributors. Also Pepsi is now distributing Celsius. Miller used to distribute Celsius but Pepsi git the rights to distribute. FYI I need your address so I can send you a Monster you haven't been able to review yet. Possibly Ultra Black!
creatine is like the cheapest supplement that is actually proven to work, so why not just buy the powder. Anyways I only like a few bang flavors so wouldnt be mad if ghost or any other drinks replaced them.
Most people just drank it for the flavor and 300mgs of caffeine. They knew they werent getting an effective dosage of creatine so why both putting it on the can.
@@CaffeineMan1 exactly, it probably deters people actually, I remember when it was like steroids if u said you were taking creatine. Lots of people don’t let their kids have it.
They could still make it out alive, but time will tell. I’ve never gravitated towards them due to the high caffeine but they did do good things for the energy drink space.
One last comment on this , I don't know how new of a product it is but Bang released a new line called Meltdown and it's basically Bang flavors but works like a Celsius.
A LOT more potent than Celsius, if I remember. One can came in my Zeropack box and it seemed like it was a pretty solid preworkout, similar to what they did with Redline.
I love a good comeback story I’d love to see mr Jack defeat the monster when it’s all said and done . In the event bang does go under just imagine all the flippers and resellers that are gonna hoarde bang
It would be good if he could come out of this with his company in tact, but “defeat” monster? He already lost all his lawsuits. I’d say just leave monster alone at this point.
Monsters reign lineup lies as well zero calories my ass eaas and bcaas have calories plus why don’t they tell us how much of each is in there which the rocks Zoa actually does is it because you don’t want to tell us your just pixie dusting the shit
Bang definitely beats Monster when it comes to taste and flavors, so this sucks. Bang and Reign were my go to when I was a truck driver. I haven't had one in awhile because I wanted to cut down on my caffeine intake. I'll have to read up on the case to decide how I feel about this from a legal perspective, but as an enjoyer of the drink I hope they can either appeal or restructure themselves in such away to stay on the market with my favorite flavors intact.
Things seem to be going "ok". They've redesigned the can to take super creatine off the can, so they are going forward, still making drinks and getting back into stores. Looks like time will tell.
Part 2 lol Shortly after the release product Quality began to crumble as they began to focus on their Golden Goose “Bang”. Thus eventually came the bold lies placed on the cans as you have discussed before Super Creatine and Keto Coffee. They knew these were lies and took no effort to make adjustments as it was boosting sales. This is where I return to Treat others how you wish to be treated..VPX allowed Greed to overtake morals and once this happens it’s hard to recover. Bang is a business built on deceit, while they made the market what it is today, I am not saddened by this news. I also agree that Bang isn’t going anywhere. If they cannot recover via the DSD model which if they can’t I will be shocked as many consumers still love the products despite the lies. The market is now competitive with C4, Ryse, Ghost, 3D, we really have no reason to continue purchasing our products from a deceitful organization. My hope is consumers will trend toward the honest companies until Bang is purchased by another CEO who can make a real run at it.
The market is VERY competitive in the preworkout category, but I agree that they arent going anywhere. They still have other tons of great products that can help keep them afloat while they figure out all this "Bang" stuff . We all know people only drink it for the flavors and 300mgs of caffeine, so take all that other stuff off the label and your core audience will still drink it for the 300mgs and your non-preworkout people will drink it for the taste. I don't see them losing much of their audience just because they lost a lawsuit.
@@CaffeineMan1 No Pun intended but you are bang on my friend. You and I have the same views, it’s the 300mg that’s keeps me away. Now the Canadian version has 180mg of caffeine, so from that aspect we are fortunate. 300mg is simply too much, if they duplicated the CDN caffeine content to the US version I believe they would have the market cornered. The above is costly and easier said than done but I would love to see it. If Bang admits fault and that they made mistakes, I would consider drinking their product again.
@@adamsimsiroglou1355 If they made it 180mgs, it would be so much easier to get into all the countries without having to make a separate formula. GFuel has just started making a few 140mgs options (instead of 300) and they seem to be doing well.
@@CaffeineMan1 yeah and thanks to your stream. I found the redcon1 drinks! I got 4 of the 5. Didnt have cali splash but excited to try the new line anddddd I found rip it. So I got 5 of them so went on a sweet shopping spree 😂
@@ItsBoo. I actually forgot which ones were in the box at this point. I would think that its the Vitamin Shoppe exclusive one that I might not have. One of the 5 is just for them.
@Pete Goodwin Oh, and I agree with you too... and to add to that, most people who drank bang drank it for the 300mgs of caffeine. I dont think ANYBODY every expected anything else from any of the other ingredients. Anyone serious about working out would know you can't get effectove dosages of creatine and BCAAs into an energy drink can. Its just too bad Bang had to go so far with the advertising when we all knew it was just the caffeine.
i predicted that they would go bankrupt with the new cans not being as good this might be superstition but i feel the new cans don’t taste as good as the old cans, the rest their new flavors are not as good as the originals, their best flavors seem to be out of stock everywhere
Just tried Wildin Watermelon a few days ago, awesome! My first was Purple Haze and I was hooked. I'll be hoarding even more of Jack's soda p-p-p-p-products. ;)
Adding insult to injury, when you have a $3-$4 can in four-five different flavors being sold for $1.25 in a Dollar Tree store, that really hurts the company. - Relly
Glad you like the videos! You can find me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and I am most receptive to Instagram posts and try to respond within a few days.
I just heard the sad news yesterday at an all-too-rare GNC store in Hawaii... He mentioned Ghost, so I'm trying some today. Shameless commercial: folks please support local GNC stores. I like them anyway FWIW.
Bang Pina colada is my life...the only energy drink I have drank for the past few years. But this past 6 weeks or so I haven't been able to find it. My local gas station that I buy them from every morning has been try to order any bang products and get anyone to answer the phone. I really hope they don't go under.
That's what bankruptcy is, protection. Otherwise those companies will be looking to collect their millions in ways that would put them out of business.
True, but it doesn’t always get approved! Tons of businesses went out of business because of Monster lawsuits and bankruptcy protection failed. Let’s hope it works for Bang and hope everyone realizes half a billion dollars is quite an excessive lawsuit and grant protection
Not necessarily. Bankruptcy protection could help them out. As well as investors helping them out. Lots of things could happen but its not looking good. They could potentially sell Bang to another company but I doubt Jack would allow that.
I feel like everyone knows there isn't enough aminos or super creatine in bang to really do anything. Many other energy drink have aminos or bcaas now too and they are under dosed as well. and the thought of super creatine is pretty cool idea leucine combined with creatine. I think monster just wanted to find a way to take out competition.
I've always been a big fan of bang, but I honestly had no idea about the claims they made regarding their drinks and more specifically Super Creatine. I knew the creatine was a gimmick, but holy moly I didn't know they had such an egregious claim behind it. I actually bought a pack on a deal on campus protein a few days before this all came out. I would return it, but this is the first time CP sent me drinks that weren't leaking and damaged... But, never again with bang after this lol
I was starting to wonder a bit what was going on with Bang. I know they were really releasing a lot of new flavors and limited flavors and then it was like nothing and did not hear anything about them and was wondering what was going on. I was really big into Bang drinks and then started getting tired of them and started drinking other drinks which I liked better. I knew about the first law suit a few years ago they had and just heard about their latest lawsuit a few weeks ago. That is just crazy the amount of money they have to fork out in all of these lawsuits. I thought the pepsi distrubtion was going to be really good for them se we could get newer drinks right away and then that ended. I think they can come back but I don't know if it can be as big as they were. I hope they can come back strong, but I guess we have to wait and see. Thanks for making this video and letting us know about this. I was starting to wonder if they went or were possibly going bankrupt and now, I know.
Yeah, its such a big topic I wanted to get the info out there. Im sure lots of people are hoping they pull through, but I can only imagine all the other energy drink companies foaming at the mouth to get that shelf space 😂
Hmmmmm.... I just checked my "held for review" section and I didnt see it there. I know I didnt delete so many it accidentally got deleted on your end? I know I have misclicked several times in the past when leaving a comment and it disappeared.
@@CaffeineMan1 thanks as always my friend! I was just agreeing with your stance on on Bang revolutionizing the Energy Drink market with unique flavouring systems. However, my issue with Bang is more so the deceitful go to market strategy as you discussed many times before (Keto Coffee and Super Creatine). When the CEO chooses Greed over honesty that is when the Iceberg starts to collapse.
Seems to me like they're just trying to stomp out Bang because they've gotten so big and are immensely popular with younger people. And to all of the people who are complaining about false advertising; Red Bull gives you wings.
Yeah, they moved up to the 3rd top selling energy drink in the US, 2nd place being Monster. If you an find a way to sweep the leg of your competition, Monster will find a way. And now, Red Bull gives you wiiiiiiiiinnngs.
@@kevink9985 You can never tell... that being said, there are a decent amount of people who like the birthday cake drinks! Miami Cola, well, thats another story.
It's sucks for Pepsi, they gave up so much Rockstar shelf space for bang, just to lose it and I don't see Celsius doing so good they're awful(personal opinion)
True, I havent seen a lot of Rockstar on the shelves, but if Pepsi isnt distributing it anymore does Bang get to keep all that space? Im not sure how all that works.
Bang is my favorite ive drank them since you had to get them at gnc but pretty sure they screwed the pooch when they messed up the deal with Pepsi i cant find them anywhere anymore it sucks if they go under ill probley just give up energy drinks all together there arnt many others that i care for Rockstar xdurance are good but the 2 flavors i like i can never find anymore either
Jack has done a follow-up video to let people know that Bang isnt going anywhere. They are re-doing their distribution while the company goes through some restructuring. They already have some new cans released that no longer say Super Creatine on them.
@@CaffeineMan1 Right. I do like some 300mg drinks though, Reign has been my pre workout of choice lately, The Melon Mania and Razzle Berry ones are soooo tasty!!! :)
Yeah, they recently went down on the caffeine too. It used to be 300mgs... well, not sure how recent. When I reviewe it when it first came out it was 300mgs.
Oh yeah!! You're going to be seeing a LOT of it! I have about a dozen or so coca-cola employees that message me from time to time. Apparently even though coca cola knew Monster was buying Bang, they didnt hire any additional employees for all the extra work!!! Not yet at least.
LOL!!! Hey you never know! Monster is going through Pepsi to be easy, but Red Bull has been doing it themselves so why not Bang! I mean, Amazon finally got their own vehicles realizing it was easier for them.

Definitely a high amount and really should only be used as preworkout but became very commonplace due to its quick growth in stores.

Happy to hear that Matthew! Im the same way, 300 is too much. Love the 200, even moreso if its natural caffeine!
Same and sugar free to save my teeth

I used to drink Bang all the time and LOVED it so much but I feel like ever since they went mainstream and started being found in most stores/supermarkets that the flavor isn't consistent anymore.
It changed a bit when they went from BCAAs to EEAS. Tweaking the formula a little can make a big diffference.
Okay I thought I was going crazy! I noticed the change.
I can not drink a Bang after trying a C4, Ghost, or G Fuel. It just tastes so bad compared to the other options out there now.
Those companies have really done a great job stepping up their energy drinks!
I wonder if Monster Would consider buying Bang.... Basically tell them we will drop all the lawsuits, And give you money for the bang side of vpx
They own over 19 other companies so Im sure they would have no problem taking them over. The number 2 company in the world buying out the # 3 company may be just what it needs to overtake Red Bull 😂

Would be a shame to see such a great company go down like this.

found out reign had a new flavor tropical storm have ya seen it that prob why i havent seen certain bang drink cans
Its an Amazon exclusive and havent had a chance to look into getting it just yet...I probably should!
my guess prob take a while for the new flav of reign

Bang is a business built on deceit, while they made the market what it is today, I am not saddened by this news. I also agree that Bang isn’t going anywhere. If they cannot recover via the DSD model which if they can’t I will be shocked as many consumers still love the products despite the lies.
The market is now competitive with C4, Ryse, Ghost, 3D, we really have no reason to continue purchasing our products from a deceitful organization. My hope is consumers will trend toward the honest companies until Bang is purchased by another CEO who can make a real run at it.
The market is VERY competitive in the preworkout category, but I agree that they arent going anywhere. They still have other tons of great products that can help keep them afloat while they figure out all this "Bang" stuff . We all know people only drink it for the flavors and 300mgs of caffeine, so take all that other stuff off the label and your core audience will still drink it for the 300mgs and your non-preworkout people will drink it for the taste. I don't see them losing much of their audience just because they lost a lawsuit.
@@CaffeineMan1 No Pun intended but you are bang on my friend.
You and I have the same views, it’s the 300mg that’s keeps me away. Now the Canadian version has 180mg of caffeine, so from that aspect we are fortunate. 300mg is simply too much, if they duplicated the CDN caffeine content to the US version I believe they would have the market cornered.
The above is costly and easier said than done but I would love to see it. If Bang admits fault and that they made mistakes, I would consider drinking their product again.
@@adamsimsiroglou1355 If they made it 180mgs, it would be so much easier to get into all the countries without having to make a separate formula. GFuel has just started making a few 140mgs options (instead of 300) and they seem to be doing well.
So that explains why Bang was removed from the shelves where I work.
Yeah, Im surprised its already starting to happen in some stores.
Hopefully they revamp the product and lower the caffeine amount and out actual ingredients in there :)
Thy'll definitely need to do something drastic!
@@CaffeineMan1 yeah and thanks to your stream. I found the redcon1 drinks! I got 4 of the 5. Didnt have cali splash but excited to try the new line anddddd I found rip it. So I got 5 of them so went on a sweet shopping spree 😂
Wow, sounds like you hit the Jackpot!!! I got the Redcon1 in my fridge but they were only able to get me 4 of the 5.
@@CaffeineMan1 interesting. I wonder if you're missing the same one as me seeing as Vitamine Shoppe had plenty of the 4 and zero of Cali Splash!
@@ItsBoo. I actually forgot which ones were in the box at this point. I would think that its the Vitamin Shoppe exclusive one that I might not have. One of the 5 is just for them.
Does anyone really buy bang for creatine though? I don't think that's relevant.
Agreed, am actually relieved was worried i was getting too much! Just take it off the labels, easy fix.
I don't really think its a matter of if you do or don't use it for that... just the fact that they lied about. False advertising is false advertising.
Definitely an easy fix... hopefully not too much harm has been done to come back from.
@@CaffeineMan1 I agree. I guess you have to draw the line somewhere
@Pete Goodwin Oh, and I agree with you too... and to add to that, most people who drank bang drank it for the 300mgs of caffeine. I dont think ANYBODY every expected anything else from any of the other ingredients. Anyone serious about working out would know you can't get effectove dosages of creatine and BCAAs into an energy drink can. Its just too bad Bang had to go so far with the advertising when we all knew it was just the caffeine.
After Ghost, Bang is my second favorite energy drink brand. I’ll take Bang over Monster any day! 👊
Ghost is doing a great job! Would love to see Bang make a comeback!
i predicted that they would go bankrupt with the new cans not being as good this might be superstition but i feel the new cans don’t taste as good as the old cans, the rest their new flavors are not as good as the originals, their best flavors seem to be out of stock everywhere
They switched over from BCAA's to EEA's and they never seemed the same since then,.
Just tried Wildin Watermelon a few days ago, awesome!
My first was Purple Haze and I was hooked.
I'll be hoarding even more of Jack's soda p-p-p-p-products. ;)
Glad you got to try them!
Adding insult to injury, when you have a $3-$4 can in four-five different flavors being sold for $1.25 in a Dollar Tree store, that really hurts the company. - Relly
True too!
@@CaffeineMan1 Thanks for helping us get the story straight for our show last week. Cheers. Keep it up. Our Mod introduced us to your vids.
This sucks because I literally have a bang a day pretty much. I think it would be alright if they just take the creatine all the way out.
I agree. Anyone who is anyone knows that most people drink it for the flavor & 300mgs of caffeine.
Crazy how Monster completely ripped off Bang's packaging and audience then goes on to sue and win against Bang.
Actually, I’m one of the lawsuits monster one, they said bang copied their design. That’s why all the new cans have the new logo.
@@CaffeineMan1 Hows that possible when Bang came out before Reign? lol
Monster says Bang copied Monsters logo. Reign was following the same style as Monster.
Hi, I would link to personally dm you if you would have time is there a direct way to do this. Thanks been watching your videos for awhile now
Glad you like the videos! You can find me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and I am most receptive to Instagram posts and try to respond within a few days.
@@CaffeineMan1 thanks I have reached out to you through Facebook thank
I just heard the sad news yesterday at an all-too-rare GNC store in Hawaii... He mentioned Ghost, so I'm trying some today.
Shameless commercial: folks please support local GNC stores. I like them anyway FWIW.
Ghost is definitely great stuff!
Bang Pina colada is my life...the only energy drink I have drank for the past few years. But this past 6 weeks or so I haven't been able to find it. My local gas station that I buy them from every morning has been try to order any bang products and get anyone to answer the phone. I really hope they don't go under.
The Pepsi lawsuit has Pepsi stop delivering it. Bang will be distributing it soon, it’s just a matter of when they can get it back in stores.
That's what bankruptcy is, protection. Otherwise those companies will be looking to collect their millions in ways that would put them out of business.
True, but it doesn’t always get approved! Tons of businesses went out of business because of Monster lawsuits and bankruptcy protection failed. Let’s hope it works for Bang and hope everyone realizes half a billion dollars is quite an excessive lawsuit and grant protection
The ceo himself managed to tanke that company Into obliven its Insane.
Jack should have been more concerned with Ghost and C4 than the trash that is Monster and stopped with the lawsuits.
True, and now it seems like C4 and Ghost will be the beneficiaries of any potential lost shelf space.
Always been a fan of bang energy, it just hits the spot
Great flavors can always hit the spot!
Why did Monster do this? Don't they have enough money? Greedy monsters
Not exactly about money... more about power.
8 months later and I can still pick up some at my local c-store.
Yup, yup! Still going strong. They are even starting to carry the new cans in stores near me.
@@CaffeineMan1 I noticed that yesterday! They removed “super creatine” from the top of the label and it just says “fuel your destiny!” now.
Yeah, I just picked one up to make a short video about it... but then learned of the Monster Buying Bang controversy
so would it mean bang go out of business
Not necessarily. Bankruptcy protection could help them out. As well as investors helping them out. Lots of things could happen but its not looking good. They could potentially sell Bang to another company but I doubt Jack would allow that.
I feel like everyone knows there isn't enough aminos or super creatine in bang to really do anything. Many other energy drink have aminos or bcaas now too and they are under dosed as well. and the thought of super creatine is pretty cool idea leucine combined with creatine. I think monster just wanted to find a way to take out competition.
Oh yeah, monster was definitely looking for a way to take out Bang. This was just one of the sevral ways they tried.
I've always been a big fan of bang, but I honestly had no idea about the claims they made regarding their drinks and more specifically Super Creatine. I knew the creatine was a gimmick, but holy moly I didn't know they had such an egregious claim behind it. I actually bought a pack on a deal on campus protein a few days before this all came out. I would return it, but this is the first time CP sent me drinks that weren't leaking and damaged... But, never again with bang after this lol
Yeah, the legal issues have been going on for years. They really hated each other, bang and monster...heres hoping it all blows over.
I was starting to wonder a bit what was going on with Bang. I know they were really releasing a lot of new flavors and limited flavors and then it was like nothing and did not hear anything about them and was wondering what was going on. I was really big into Bang drinks and then started getting tired of them and started drinking other drinks which I liked better. I knew about the first law suit a few years ago they had and just heard about their latest lawsuit a few weeks ago. That is just crazy the amount of money they have to fork out in all of these lawsuits. I thought the pepsi distrubtion was going to be really good for them se we could get newer drinks right away and then that ended. I think they can come back but I don't know if it can be as big as they were. I hope they can come back strong, but I guess we have to wait and see. Thanks for making this video and letting us know about this. I was starting to wonder if they went or were possibly going bankrupt and now, I know.
Yeah, its such a big topic I wanted to get the info out there. Im sure lots of people are hoping they pull through, but I can only imagine all the other energy drink companies foaming at the mouth to get that shelf space 😂
Too many flavors that not everyone buys it…over flooding market my opinion..but thanks caffeine man for this video
Definitely a lot of flavors and not a single flavor discontinued in its time on the market. The only company thats never discontinued a drink
Bangrupt
😂😂😂
Ouch my comment I wrote isn’t here now 😞. I hope it wasn’t deleted or was it too long 🤪.
Hmmmmm.... I just checked my "held for review" section and I didnt see it there. I know I didnt delete so many it accidentally got deleted on your end? I know I have misclicked several times in the past when leaving a comment and it disappeared.
@@CaffeineMan1 thanks as always my friend!
I was just agreeing with your stance on on Bang revolutionizing the Energy Drink market with unique flavouring systems. However, my issue with Bang is more so the deceitful go to market strategy as you discussed many times before (Keto Coffee and Super Creatine).
When the CEO chooses Greed over honesty that is when the Iceberg starts to collapse.
@@adamsimsiroglou1355 Oh ok! Im just noticing that your other 2 comments (that I replied too) have gone through so we should be onthe same page now!
Seems to me like they're just trying to stomp out Bang because they've gotten so big and are immensely popular with younger people. And to all of the people who are complaining about false advertising; Red Bull gives you wings.
Yeah, they moved up to the 3rd top selling energy drink in the US, 2nd place being Monster. If you an find a way to sweep the leg of your competition, Monster will find a way.
And now, Red Bull gives you wiiiiiiiiinnngs.
BANG-ruptcy
Bang bang!
I used to always drink bang, I can’t even drink them anymore, Ghost and Reign are the best
Lots of great Ghost flavors!
Gee hope they make it through! Birthday Cake Bash is favorite and nobody else makes it since Scorpion went out of business! 😳🙏 Thanks for the info.
We'll have to see what happens. Surprised nobody else has tackled Birthday Cake but maybe its just. too unique for anyone else to take on.
Is this a joke comment? :)
@@kevink9985 You can never tell... that being said, there are a decent amount of people who like the birthday cake drinks! Miami Cola, well, thats another story.
It's sucks for Pepsi, they gave up so much Rockstar shelf space for bang, just to lose it and I don't see Celsius doing so good they're awful(personal opinion)
True, I havent seen a lot of Rockstar on the shelves, but if Pepsi isnt distributing it anymore does Bang get to keep all that space? Im not sure how all that works.
Bang is my favorite ive drank them since you had to get them at gnc but pretty sure they screwed the pooch when they messed up the deal with Pepsi i cant find them anywhere anymore it sucks if they go under ill probley just give up energy drinks all together there arnt many others that i care for Rockstar xdurance are good but the 2 flavors i like i can never find anymore either
Jack has done a follow-up video to let people know that Bang isnt going anywhere. They are re-doing their distribution while the company goes through some restructuring. They already have some new cans released that no longer say Super Creatine on them.
@@CaffeineMan1 did they do any other changes to the cans besides taking off the super creatine labeling i hope they return to the original black cans
@@jpugh3076 They just changed the font used for the flavor name. Same white can and Splash "B" logo.
I won’t drink monster energy drink never had one never will I think they’re a complete crap company and one day they will fall
Interesting... they are the number 2 energy drink company in the world, but even the best can fall.
hope bang beat monster till next year and be stronger
Fingers crossed!
Bang is totally better than monster. I've seen several people who's mental illness worsened because of Monster drinks.
I hate monster!! Its gross 🤬
Way too sweet... I like some of the Ultras though.
I've never even had a Bang 😳
Thats ok. Its a preworkout energy drink with 300mgs of caffeine so its not for everyone.
@@CaffeineMan1 Right. I do like some 300mg drinks though, Reign has been my pre workout of choice lately, The Melon Mania and Razzle Berry ones are soooo tasty!!! :)
@@HiNRGboy Those are good too! I dont drink them much though because of the 300mgs but they are tasty

Welcome to the channel! Hope you like the videos!
I want the old Bang energy back
Some people did like the BCAA version better than the EAA one
Once pepsi lost bang they produced a new drink klear . 4 flavors all really good .
Don’t forget about prince vs bang. Bang is losing every fight.
I know they've had several lawsuits!!!
Bang Energy sponsors UFC Fighter Colby Covington, damn so if they go out of business he's losing a sponsor.
I drink ASHOC. Has natural caffeine and less caffeine.
Yeah, they recently went down on the caffeine too. It used to be 300mgs... well, not sure how recent. When I reviewe it when it first came out it was 300mgs.
Now monster bought them out
Yeah... I saw....

Oh wait.... nevermind. I see you found that video already! Im behind on my comments. LOL!
@CaffeineMan1 I work at the Coca-Cola warehouse I saw it in my warehouse yesterday
Oh yeah!! You're going to be seeing a LOT of it! I have about a dozen or so coca-cola employees that message me from time to time. Apparently even though coca cola knew Monster was buying Bang, they didnt hire any additional employees for all the extra work!!!
Not yet at least.
@@CaffeineMan1 Reyes holdings has the bottling rights around the one I work at they overstaffed our workers
*Bangruptcy
😂😂😂
Going to see little bang trucks running around just like red bull......
LOL!!! Hey you never know! Monster is going through Pepsi to be easy, but Red Bull has been doing it themselves so why not Bang! I mean, Amazon finally got their own vehicles realizing it was easier for them.
I mean if you look at the owner and look at his Instagram it's not that surprising... Dude was bleeding money
Well, things like that can be all for show. The "if you want to be as rich as me, drink bang" kind of thing
@@CaffeineMan1 those giant golden encrusted B necklaces weren't cheap
@@Tzgrey77 🤣😂🤣
Circle k pulled all Bang out of Sets.
I heard they were thinking of doing that but didnt know if it had happened yet or not.
why does monster get that money shouldnt it be people who bought bang for false advertising creatine
Bang only has a handful of hood flavors I truly never got the hype
I heard Bang is going to be bought by Dr. Pepper, of course I could be wrong.
Most likely not. They just partnered with Nutrabolt (C4 Energy)
Dr Pepper did? Or Bang?
@@Thegaminator348 Dr Pepper and Nutrabolt.

Luckily enough there are plenty of great energy drink options!
