The producers wish to report that Matt is recovering from this recording session. However wish to note, Matt stopped by a local Chess Club and played games against ten different players at a time for the next 20 hours. Matt won or stalemated all of the those games, and prior to hitting the club, had never played chess before! We at It's a Southern Thing are expecting Matt to wake up any time now...we hope. 🤣
Thank you for this comment. You reminded me of a friend I miss. I drank Rockstar lemonade flavor and Monster citrus in high school almost every day to supplement my neurostimulant meds (I have Narcolepsy) to stay awake through my classes, and my friend always asked me if I had "toxic waste piss." He passed away in a car accident shortly after we graduated. it's been 10 years. so as weird as it is, thanks for reminding me of him today. that made me smile.
It’s funny he talks about pregnant women in the video. I was aware of Bless your Ranks before right now, but I’m currently in my 1st trimester with loads of nausea and major food aversions to Everything and so I’ve been binge watching these videos, enjoying watching Matt eat all of the things I currently cannot. It’s a vicarious experience for me, a spiritual experience really. And I will always look back on this time and fondly remember that Matt Mitchell is how I made it through.
This may be the most hilarious of "Bless Your Rank" you've done Matt! I could see you getting more and more jacked as the episode went on. I can only imagine the outtakes! Lol!
Matt: (about Reign) "this black can is all fancy, I haven't seen a black can like this before." Me: staring at the 3 other black cans already on the table... you ok Matt?
I think he’s referring to the all black (top and bottom) which is uncommon, usually it’s just the face of the can that is painted and the tops and bottoms are left silver. Also reign has a unique texture to their paint
4 cans in and I'm watching Matt starting to vibrate. Watching everything start to kick in on him is mesmerizing! I hope you're ok Matt! ❤️ My personal favorite is MONSTER!!💪 But sadly I can't afford it all the time so I usually go for the Rockstar since I can usually find it for $1. But nothing beats MONSTER for taste! Woot!! 🤘
I'm glad you mentioned the red bull girls. True story they use to stop by the Dillons grocery store I worked at and hand out Red Bulls till the manager would kick them out and scolled everyone for taking one, so my manager is asking why would you take one and I said and I quote "Hay if a prity girl asks me if I want a red bull I'm taking the red bull that's just simple math right there." Everyone around just laughed and the manager chuckled as he walked away.
@@Khaleesi_Jack yes, you did miss a good thing. Only rile of thumb to remember. Moderation. If your heart starts feeling like it's gonna pop out of your chest cut back. Lol, I heard they have coffee with 60percent more caffeine. But it's not cheap! When I run out of coffee, I brew 10 tea bags.
The monster absolute zero is my favorite and tastes like liquid sweet tarts. The flavor wakes me up quickly giving time for the caffeine to kick in. I don't think Matt needs to try getting into energy drinks anymore. That was a bit much for him. :-)
Redbull always has a special place in my heart. Got me through my first job, and Red Bull vodka is a foolproof way to do something you regret because you won’t even remember what you did :)
Surge, OMG! I went a big high school in the suburbs of Kansas City. (There were 525 in my graduating class.) I graduated in 1998. There were SURGE representatives that came to our school at set up a booth in our cafeteria for a few week. They gave out merch; keychains, can koozies, t-shirts, sunglasses, pens. Then we got three Surge (only!) pop machines.
I feel like Matt is gonna have to start having one of those wine tasting buckets- you know, the one wine critics use to spit on so that they don't blackout drunk as they progress through tasting.
Working overnights in a warehouse during the holiday season is the prime way to test all these drinks out. I finally settled on C4 peach mango, effectively dethroning Reign (which had beat out Bang). Remember kids, the caffeine limits need to be taken seriously and be careful how many B vitamins you're taking in!
The whole b vitamin thing isn't as huge of an issue. B vitamins are water soluble and anything past 100% daily value ends up being urinated out. Anything past 100% DVA just makes your pee extremely expensive
he only took a few sips of each only 2 had high caffeine level Reign and Bang . all but the high caffeine ones had a shit ton of sugar. he was more than likely buzzing from sugar
I tried drinking a red bull once. My heart started beating really fast and felt like I was going to die about an 30 minutes to an hour after drinking it.
NOS has always been my favorite energy drink. It’s the perfect amount of caffeine and the best tasting on my opinion. It’s such a complex yet simple flavor at the same time. Kinda like how Dr Pepper is
My aunt worked for Marlboro back in the 70's and her job was to hand out sample packs of cigarettes on Daytona Beach. Of course 30 years later it was illegal.
I went ahead and searched it up myself, assuming they're all 16 fluid ounces: Mountain Dew Orange Storm 91 mg Bang Blue Razz 300 mg Monster Energy 163 mg Nos 160 mg Red Bull 136 mg Reign 300 mg Rockstar 160 mg
In the 6th grade, my classmate could not start school before he drank 6 - 8 energy drinks, and he'd drank at least 13 before school ended. I worried for his health so much!
@@annatzipora6857 After I looked up that medical term, I can wholeheartedly agree! He was always so jittery and unfocused, but he'd become defensive if you tried to rationalize with him. I felt that it was partially due to a lack of parental supervision, but he drank that many every day of the school week!
@@rachelcookie321 It wasn't a very official school. We didn't have a cafeteria, only 8 picnic tables. We didn't have a gym, we used the neighborhood park across the street. We didn't have a library, and we didn't even have enough textbooks to use daily! We didn't have a nurse's office, or a nurse, just a half-empty first aid kit. It was a mess, but early subjection to sugar can have negative health effects, so it was a shame really. Juice is good, if you like it, I hope you're now able to have it whenever you want!
Love this show every single time lol Matt is so amusing and funny so thank you for making my day better 😁❤ I am a red bull drinker just to share, but I used to love NOS, great video! 😊❤
You did get the wrong flavor of Bang 🤣🤣🤣 I use to love the Cotton Candy and black cherry. I started having high heart rate and couldn't sleep...so I stopped. Haven't had one in a very long time. I only ever drink it if I need to be sleepless for a very long period of time.
Matt is the hero we need right now. A spark, that will light the fire, that will bring subpar energy drink makers down. Matt's next 2 challenges should be reverse energy drinks and alcoholic energy drinks.
I have watched…TO THE END….a number of “Bless Your Rank” episodes hosted by Matt Mitchell! I can say, every day of the week and twice on Sunday, there is no one’s taste buds that I trust more, than Mr. Mitchell’s. Plus, it seems pretty obvious that he has had ample opportunity to develop into a world class judge of Southern fare. HOWEVER, he has given me reason to question his pallet after hearing his opinion on Bang energy drinks!! Matt, have you lost your ever loving mind!?! 🤣🤣 Bang is far and away the best energy drink out there!! Just kidding!! Love the videos…✊🏻stay Southern!! P.S.- Yes…Virginia is a Southern state!! At least everywhere south of Richmond is!
mocha loca coffee monster, mean bean monster, lime or grape NOS, white zero sugar monster. pretty much only ones i drink. the reason these energy drinks "work" is because they have caffeine and B12. whats B12? it is the vitamin that your cells use to put the sugar in your bloodstream to work.
Ever read the back of tall monster energy cans? I did as was downing my third can in 5 minutes. It says "Do not drink more than two of these every 2 hours."
Monster Zero - Ultra Sunrise is the absolute best energy drink for taste and lack of jitters. I feel like Matt would also enjoy for the smooth, orange flavor. 🍊 Also, how long did it take to peel him off the ceiling after filming? 🤣🤣
The producers wish to report that Matt is recovering from this recording session. However wish to note, Matt stopped by a local Chess Club and played games against ten different players at a time for the next 20 hours.

LOL
Hahaha
While also playing a game of volleyball against himself and rebuilding a carberator.
@@TJ_Loves2fish Nearly had an accident, the image of Matt running a volleyball court! 🤣
😂😂
“I’m lettin the walker county show” killed me 🤣🤣
Gonna let the meth addicted pill popping side out all over this trailer park
You should of poured them out in clear glasses to see the cool toxic waste colors. 😂😂😂
I should have read the comments before commenting myself lol
Yes, and then lights down to do a glow in the dark ranking on them.
Bang has no coloring
Thank you for this comment. You reminded me of a friend I miss.
I drank Rockstar lemonade flavor and Monster citrus in high school almost every day to supplement my neurostimulant meds (I have Narcolepsy) to stay awake through my classes, and my friend always asked me if I had "toxic waste piss."

Y’all need to stop giving Matt caffeine, lol.
Next episode is Matt tasting kcup coffees 😂
He’s a lost cause he said though lol
I disagree, this was hilarious
My nephew has that tattoo of the monster logo
A moment of silence for this beautiful use of "y'all".
This may be the most hilarious of "Bless Your Rank" you've done Matt! I could see you getting more and more jacked as the episode went on. I can only imagine the outtakes! Lol!
Since Matt is talking about orange drinks, he should now rank orange drinks
The ornage monster is really good too
Yes. And he has to go the extra mile and find some Nehi.
Bang has a drink called citrus twist. He should use that.
reign dream sickle is so good
Orange slice was the best. Sadly it was discontinued
Watching Matt slowly spazz out was absolutely hilarious!
What I learned from this video: Matt has not thrown many punches in his life. Bless his heart (literally. That’s a lot of energy drinks)
Matt's sense of humor and the editing are a beautiful dance of chaos and hilarity!😂
There's a squirrel on crack outside the window telling Matt to he needs to chill.
For real 😂😂
this had me laughing for hours! thank you sir
😂😂🤣🤣
I read this before his energy picked up and it’s even funnier out of context
Matt: (about Reign) "this black can is all fancy, I haven't seen a black can like this before."
Me: staring at the 3 other black cans already on the table... you ok Matt?
It might be reign cans have a texture to 'em. I haven't seen many textured cans before
I thought the same thing-but then saw the can was black on the top and bottom as well
I think he’s referring to the all black (top and bottom) which is uncommon, usually it’s just the face of the can that is painted and the tops and bottoms are left silver. Also reign has a unique texture to their paint
I want to thank the Editors for doing such a great/creative job. Having 4 Matts all talking at the same time was brilliant!
4 cans in and I'm watching Matt starting to vibrate. Watching everything start to kick in on him is mesmerizing! I hope you're ok Matt! ❤️
My personal favorite is MONSTER!!💪
But sadly I can't afford it all the time so I usually go for the Rockstar since I can usually find it for $1. But nothing beats MONSTER for taste! Woot!! 🤘
7 energy drink samples in, and his teeth are talking to him.
I'm glad you mentioned the red bull girls. True story they use to stop by the Dillons grocery store I worked at and hand out Red Bulls till the manager would kick them out and scolled everyone for taking one, so my manager is asking why would you take one and I said and I quote "Hay if a prity girl asks me if I want a red bull I'm taking the red bull that's just simple math right there."

I love how he progressively get more and more high off of energy drinks as he goes on
5:02 Now we know how Florida man started
it's how Florida Man starts his day...10 of those energy drinks for breakfast.
Can you do one for off brand soda
Yeah like off brand cokes, my dew, Dr Pepper etc...that would be cool
@@Razor1138 dr pepper's not a offbrand
@@baconvape2093 I was referring to doing all of the off brands of those drinks.
I like how you can clearly see the Bang kick in after he finishes the monster. He had no idea lol
It's a crime that he drank Monster & then a Bang.
I was thinking the same thing
He literally took a sip. It takes a tiny bit more…….like all of it
Starting this vid and betting Matt will be buzzing like a live wire by the end.
He made it to the monster and started babbling
@@nicolethompson2399 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
It's the mountain dew video, but uped a few levels.
@@nicolethompson2399 Lol he started tripping after the mountain dew
Jolt cola is not easy to find in my area. But have seen those stores down south. So thanks for the tip.
I'm about to show my age. The only energy drink I've ever tried was Jolt Cola, back in the 80s.
I loved Jolt, I wish they still made it!
I remember Jolt! Twice the sugar and three times the caffeine!
You have suddenly made me aware of the existence of jolt cola and now feel like I missed out.
@@Khaleesi_Jack yes, you did miss a good thing. Only rile of thumb to remember. Moderation. If your heart starts feeling like it's gonna pop out of your chest cut back. Lol, I heard they have coffee with 60percent more caffeine. But it's not cheap! When I run out of coffee, I brew 10 tea bags.
It used to be in Dollar General as recently as 2020...
Best Energy drink ever is Sweet Tea hands down.
Yes, "liquid pixie sticks" is about right. Something sweet to wash down the two cups of deathwish coffee.
The monster absolute zero is my favorite and tastes like liquid sweet tarts. The flavor wakes me up quickly giving time for the caffeine to kick in.
I don't think Matt needs to try getting into energy drinks anymore. That was a bit much for him. :-)
Y’all tryin’a make Matt’s heart explode? That’s not nice.
The way he is going, he'll be on warfarin soon and some other heart meds!
Omg! 🤫
😂
It's a way of termination. They couldn't get him to quit or retire so they moved to the extreme.
Eh if he was drinking the full cans, sure. He prob had a can's worth at best.
This is the best thing I have watched in a year!
I was literally just thinking this morning that we were due for another "Bless Your Rank". These videos are the absolute best.
“I think my teeth are talking to me” Me to Matt 😂
I hope Matt had a designated driver. Is there something Matt can rank that does not threaten his health?
Wouldn't be a southern thing if it didn't threaten his health
Though real talk I hope they do a ranking of southern vegetables someday
Maybe bottled water or salad
I would say kool aid but that might just be worse
@@RWAsur their vegetables are chicken nugs
Redbull always has a special place in my heart. Got me through my first job, and Red Bull vodka is a foolproof way to do something you regret because you won’t even remember what you did :)
Throughout this video we watch Matt ascend into the atmosphere
Suggestion: Rank kids' cereals:
Frosted Flakes
Cocoa Puffs
Lucky Charms
Trix
Honey Comb, et cetera
Surge, OMG! I went a big high school in the suburbs of Kansas City. (There were 525 in my graduating class.) I graduated in 1998. There were SURGE representatives that came to our school at set up a booth in our cafeteria for a few week. They gave out merch; keychains, can koozies, t-shirts, sunglasses, pens. Then we got three Surge (only!) pop machines.
“Letting the Walker County in me show” is the most accurate statement about any of the Alabama counties 😂
Matt: I c a n s e e s o u n d n o w
😂😂😂😂😂
I feel like Matt is gonna have to start having one of those wine tasting buckets- you know, the one wine critics use to spit on so that they don't blackout drunk as they progress through tasting.
All those energy drinks make this the most expensive Bless Your Rank ever made lol
Working overnights in a warehouse during the holiday season is the prime way to test all these drinks out. I finally settled on C4 peach mango, effectively dethroning Reign (which had beat out Bang).
Remember kids, the caffeine limits need to be taken seriously and be careful how many B vitamins you're taking in!
yeah thats how i tried these... my go-tos
bang black cherry vanilla
bang cherry limeade
white monster
blueberry red bull
The whole b vitamin thing isn't as huge of an issue. B vitamins are water soluble and anything past 100% daily value ends up being urinated out. Anything past 100% DVA just makes your pee extremely expensive
Did anyone else hear the “ ooh somebody he needs some milk” love the reference
yes, it made me nostalgic of Vine
I had to keep replaying parts that I missed cause I was laughing so hard! This was hilarious. I loved it.
Big props to the editor on this vid. They do some great work here.
This was the funniest thing I’ve seen in forever! OMG LOL! 😂
Finally!!! Been waiting a bless yourself rank forever!!!
First video of yours I watched, subbed!!!
Yup, even Matt turns into a Kyle after drinking Monster
"Lettin' the Walker County in me show." As someone who grew up in Walker County, I really felt that.
Note to self: Stay away from energy drinks.
Haha Winston co here
Marion County checking in
"Think I just gave my tongue a seizure" 🤣
The effect you're experiencing at monster drink is actually the effect of the first bootle now working 😂
Matt you're amazing! I love watching you! You're too funny. Thank you for brightening my day.
I think your captioned is trolling you: they wrote “we need to poop” instead of “Winnie the Pooh.”
I turned the captioning on for all videos and I miss the videos because I'm dying reading the captioning! It's so bad it's hilarious 😁.
Dang, Matt...how hard did you crash after drinking all those energy drinks?!?
he only took a few sips of each only 2 had high caffeine level Reign and Bang . all but the high caffeine ones had a shit ton of sugar. he was more than likely buzzing from sugar
I could see him crashing if he drank a full one but since it’s only sips he’s fine
This should come with a U2 album you didn't ask for 😁😁😁
I was scared of energy drinks. Now I’m terrified. None for me. I’ll just be a slow thinker/doer whose usually accurate.
Nooma is a good choice. No toxic ingredients.
I tried drinking a red bull once. My heart started beating really fast and felt like I was going to die about an 30 minutes to an hour after drinking it.
NOS has always been my favorite energy drink. It’s the perfect amount of caffeine and the best tasting on my opinion. It’s such a complex yet simple flavor at the same time. Kinda like how Dr Pepper is

Oh and that Mango NOS is great too.
Agreed all the nos flavors are super legit.
My aunt worked for Marlboro back in the 70's and her job was to hand out sample packs of cigarettes on Daytona Beach. Of course 30 years later it was illegal.
I really thought this was the episode that would finally kill Matt. Such a survivor.
Matt is just as funny on energy drinks as he was whiskey
My #1 and #2 videos!!! 🤣
Nerve wracking, this guy shouldn’t be messing with all those energy drinks, lucky his heart didn’t explode

@@movietimeateds69 😂😂😂
You guys should do Bless your rank with the different Bang energy drink flavors!!
When I tried Monster for the first time being my first energy drink it felt like I went from a standard TV to HD.
"Theres a correlation between calories and taste" laughed so hard
The fact that he didn’t check the caffeine content on any of them 🤦🏾♂️
I went ahead and searched it up myself, assuming they're all 16 fluid ounces:
Mountain Dew Orange Storm 91 mg
Bang Blue Razz 300 mg
Monster Energy 163 mg
Nos 160 mg
Red Bull 136 mg
Reign 300 mg
Rockstar 160 mg
What Matt doesn't tell us is that he went on to film a dozen more episodes that day.

I think y’all should redo this test and try the drinks in different order, to see if flavor and impact was influenced by the order they were drank
Sweet tea in itself, is an energy drink!😊
LOL. Insane! You could say that it was WEIRD. LOVED IT
I have a coworker who drinks 10 to 14 Monsters a day. He has been doing this for years, I still wonder how his heart hasn't given out yet.
Is his name Kyle?
@@nickcastaneda203 his name is Mike
Wait...you're not supposed to do that? Well shit...that stuff is like water to me
I used to drink 3 a day and I was legit worried about my heart. How is he still alive?! Btw, I no longer drink them... I ended up almost an addict lol
Your body eventually gets use to the caffeine and quits actually working
You did get the wrong flavor of Bang 🤣🤣🤣 I use to love the Cotton Candy and black cherry. I started having high heart rate and couldn't sleep...so I stopped. Haven't had one in a very long time. I only ever drink it if I need to be sleepless for a very long period of time.
Oh no honey. I ain't drinking any energy drink. Just give me my sweet tea & everything will be good.
Watching this late at night makes way more hilarious!! (But, alas, I cannot laugh out loud unless I want to be yeeted into the next life)
Watching Matt's decrease Into hyperactivity and madness was funnier than the ranking of the drinks.
Matt is the hero we need right now. A spark, that will light the fire, that will bring subpar energy drink makers down. Matt's next 2 challenges should be reverse energy drinks and alcoholic energy drinks.
Best series on it’s a southern thing
I love this!!! Need more Matt REviews in my life
Pro Tip: Increase playback speed every five minutes.
Lol did anyone else notice he started talking faster and faster?
I need the ENERGY DRINK! line in every video! I cried laughing
I got a feeling that Matt isn't going to be sleeping for a few days
That much he'll be asleep in the next two hours.

Dude, Blue Razz is one of my favorites! Detox from "corn-based sweetener", and you'll be all about it.
Can y'all rank Dorito flavors?
That’s a good idea
My husband is sad that you didn’t try Full Throttle. That’s his favorite.
Yessssss
Probably a good reason he didn't. Lol
I love it too, but it full throttles right out of me...
I used to drink Full Throttle a lot when I worked for Coca-Cola.
Y’all amping up Matt!!! I see what y’all doing here. Side note is that southerners say yella instead of yellow
Needs to try the PeachTea Monster and Bang is really good, pretty sure that flavor is going to be good as well.
Redbull got me through a 48 hour Tri-State Scavenger hunt, i drank so much that it now makes me sick, i cant even smell the stuff.
mocha loca coffee monster, mean bean monster, lime or grape NOS, white zero sugar monster. pretty much only ones i drink. the reason these energy drinks "work" is because they have caffeine and B12. whats B12? it is the vitamin that your cells use to put the sugar in your bloodstream to work.
Rockstar had the best flavor options for the longest time (like a good Pina Colada or a strawberry smoothie), but now my fav is Monster Mule tho.
What does mule tast like?
This man is funny. Real talent. Love your channel.
Yay!!! Another Bless this rank.
Jesus Saves Love God✝️
“How ya feelin today doc?”
“I’m feeling like I’m gonna be pretty accurate, I just smashed a Mountain Dew Game Fuel.”
🤣
There are 4 that I like: Red Bull Blue and Peach editions, Rockstar Punch and Monster Pipeline Punch.
Try monster pacific punch it’s amazing
"It should come with a U2 album you didn't ask for" 😂😂😂
Ever read the back of tall monster energy cans? I did as was downing my third can in 5 minutes. It says "Do not drink more than two of these every 2 hours."
Monster Zero - Ultra Sunrise is the absolute best energy drink for taste and lack of jitters.

Also, how long did it take to peel him off the ceiling after filming? 🤣🤣
I'll have to try that kind.
ive always just called it the orange can monster lol
