Caffeine man I tried the Jalapeño Strawberry today and I love it. I'm not much of a fan of 0 sugar drinks because I can't stand the sucralose flavor but when I tried this one to me it tasted like it had sugar so definitely going to have to buy this one again. Been drinking energy drinks for 17 years now and its always nice to try something new lol ☺
Red Dragon is my favorite. I've been drinking it regularly for several months. That combined with my workout helped me lose ~30 pounds, which makes me feel like the thermogenics work.
Man the amount of research and effort that must've went into this video is insane. I really appreciate just how much you put into these videos. I hope you make it big someday
Thank so SO much! I appreciate the appreciation of the work that goes into my videos. It is a decent amount of work but its FUN work and I love sharing the information. Thanks for the support!
I just went to the store.. saw these... bought one and then wondered if you did a review on them, turns out it was uploaded 15 minutes ago? Life is crazy caffeine man. True blue is very sweet. Cant wait to see what you think.
😂Its amazing how many people see a new energy drink and then think of me. Im so flattered! And, yeah, this drink only came out a week ago and i had tons of requests, so Im glad Reign sent me some and I got the review as soon as I could.
Thanks for the shout out! You remain one of the most generous and gracious RUclipsrs around. And thanks for the video as well. It was thorough, informative, and entertaining as always. I find myself binge watching them on weekends these days!
No problem! Its all about giving credit where credit is due. Glad you liked the video! It was a little heavy on the extra informative info, but some drinks just lend themselves to that. And, I make them long enough to fill up your weekend! 😂
I have tried Red Dragon and liked it. Yesterday I tried the Strawberry Jalapeno one and I can say that I like it. Never would have thought that a Strawberry and Jalapeno would get along
Hey man just recently stumbled upon your channel and love the vibe. I love energy drinks as well and will be checking out future videos. Keep on going my man!
wow! i was not expecting you to have such a well rounded review!! this is everything i was looking for thank you! Glad we are becoming more aware in what we are drinking and not just taking the companies word for it.
Im so happy you found it useful! And I hope you watch more of my videos, as they are similar. The timestamps are a little bit longer than your "normal" energy drink reviewers, but its because I primarily go over 3 things in my Tuesday videos on a full energy drink line. 1) A little about the company 2)A little about the ingredients 3) the taste test.
A co-worker and I are always talking about Reign. When they released the mango and strawberry lime flavors we went crazy buying them. He prefers the dreamsicle flavor. When the thermogenic flavors released, I had seen them but had not purchased any. Luckily, he had already tried the jalapeno flavor and gave me the heads up that it was not all that great. I prefer the red dragon flavor because it reminds me of the pacific punch monster. I feel as though they recycled some flavors. True blue reminds me of the zero sugar monster. Thanks for introducing me to new options for energy drinks. It helps keep my options open.
Glad to keep showing you new drinks to try out! As for the recycling of drinks, I think they've made a conscious effort to not mimic any of the Monster flavors specifically, because they do want to stand alone as their own company. And even though the Juiced line by Monster was good..... I think the Red Dragon is SO much better AND no sugar! The True Blu, well, its a berry so a lot of berrys are going to taste similar. Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching!!!
You confused the crap outta me by pronouncing it as AL-O-Peno, I thought it was some kind of Aloe Vera/ strawberry drink that was until i saw the label HAHA! Good job, thanks for the review! Still not a Monster fan, I've gotta work through my 2 cases of Bang before i can try the C4 nootropics !
I think I threw a lot of people off, going by my comments section. I guess I can't do videos on Jalapenos and Oranges anymore because I focus too much on the "A"s. And I dont know if you need to finish BOTH cases of Bang before trying the Nootropics. Mix and Match. 👍😂
I read this comment before it got to that point in the video and I was still like wtf is al o peno lol That actually sounds like a good combo to me, unfortunately I’ve only ever seen the red one in stores.
Isn't everything? 😂 BUT! Joking aside.... be careful with alocohol and caffeine. its not a good combo and has led to many hospitalizations due to alcohol poisoning and/or caffeine overdose. Most people recover, but nobody likes having to go to the hospital. Basically, the part of your brain that normally makes you pass out when you drink too much, gets overriden by caffeine and it is very very very easy to continue to drink too much since you feel somewhat "OK"
Thanks! Glad you like them! So yeah, like a majority of the pre-workout drinks, they don't list the amount of BCAA's. Only a few rare companies do and for a few reasons. 1. They aren't required to list it 2. Theres not enough in there to make a difference. You need between 3-5 grams of BCAAs to make a difference in your workout and some people take more. The amount they can fit into these drinks is insignificant compared to that. Although, I will say this, they give you a decent amount when compared to some of the other well known companies. If you look at the ingredients list, several of the ingredients hover around the top to middle of the list. Its required to list the ingredients from what there is the most of to the least of. Knowing that it has 300mgs of caffeine, you can see where the other ingredients fall around and get a very general idea. These are higher on the ingredients list than several of the other preworkouts.
@@mykelowry6734 Not addictive and it works and lasts for eight hours but like anything bro if you abuse it it will kill you. Well also this is what body builders used in the golden era like Arnold,Lou and so on.
I’ve tried the REIGN Inferno Red Dragon & Warlord Watermelon and those were pretty great flavors! I’ve seen those 2 everywhere I go. As for the blue and green ones, they’re hard to find. I recently found the REIGN Inferno Tru Blu in Chinatown and I’m willing to try it later on this weekend. I’m gonna expect something similar to a Razzle Berry from the regular REIGN line. It’s unfortunate I can’t find the REIGN Inferno Jalapeño Strawberry anywhere.
Tried out the True Blu, and first thing I noticed personally was a a noticeable blast of artificial sweetener that isn’t present in the other Reign drinks. I looked at the back and noticed Acesulfame Potassium as one of the ingredients, which isn’t in the Razzleberry. The aerosol that like taste for me was inescapable and caused a really bad stomach ache later on. Not sure if you experienced any feeling like that. More so, despite having 10 calories unlike the regular 0 Calorie Reign, I found it odd they would use an artificial sweetener so commonly used in diet/zero calorie drinks in Inferno, but not their regular. Still a fan of the brand, but think that ingredient should be removed.
😂😂😂Thanks so much! Yes, the story behind the clenched fist is an interesting one. Actually, its not as interesting as everyone makes it out to be, but occasionally I incorporate a "Punch" into the video when a drink punches me with flavor. The short boring story is, its just where my arms fall due to where the arms are on my chair, as well as normal hand placement. If you want to see what happens when I don't do it, check out this video: ruclips.net/video/9nE-VwOaook/видео.html Timestamp at 6.35
NICE!!! Glad you like the channel and happy to hear you like energy drinks...but.... have you had EVERY single drink? Or just the ones in stores? And Im not asking to be a jerk, like, "Oh yeah, did you try this" but moreso out of curiousity. I THOUGHT I had tried a LOT of energy drinks before I started this channel...then found out about a lot more! So, Im curious if you scroll through my video page if you'll see some you havent tried. Thanks for watching! 👍
@@CaffeineMan1 I am going to go through and binge your channel to see if I have missed any, I believe I have tried at least 90%, even the "Pu**Y" energy drink, but for in store, its everything, had local stores near me order them for me, we live in a tight community. When I was in the army and after that working in factories, energy drinks were a must, I have always hated coffee...but I am going to see once I am done if I truly have tried everything. Your channel is perfect my man! I am shocked I have not seen you earlier!
@@ReviewThings Well, that sounds awesome! Glad to have another energy drink connoisseur finding my channel. Its only been around a little over a year and expanding. Glad you found it. I also go over caffeinated products too, like MEG gum, Jolt Gum, Caffeine Bullet Chews, etc, etc,... I even put together playlists to try and make it easier. Hope you like it all. I even recently did Rip It. Military loves their rip it.
I was at the gas station in my work parking lot last week and came across these 3 energy drinks and I had to try them. I agree with you on the review of these. Thank you for giving information on what these drinks are all about with all these ingredients
just came across your channel love it i have been looking for a channel like this for ever very informative and thorough i tried doing something like this a few years ago lol didn't work to well for me you gained a sub keep up the great work
Thank you so much! I appreciate the compliment and glad you enjoy the channel. YouTubing can be a difficult and time consuming thing to do but I enjoy it and it seems to be working out well and I have energy drinks to keep me going! 😂 Thanks for watching!
Yep, I had a few requests for it when it first came out. It came out right around the time I actually did my original Celsius review, so people were starting to ask about back then. Due to the busy schedule, I eventually got to it. If you havent seen it and are interested, I'll link it below: ruclips.net/video/D1lpIHivXnA/видео.html
I just bought all 3 flavors from my local mini-mart. Going to start off with the Jalapeño Strawberry tomorrow (I can eat authentic spicy Mexican salsa so I am not concerned with the spiciness of the flavor).
Good luck! I hope you love them. As for the spiciness.... its not spicy at all, which is why its so weird. It has the flavor of a Jalapeño but not the spice.
@@AarmOZ84 Curious how you like the others too. Feel free to keep me posted and i keep a lot of this info in the back of my head for references, ie "Lots of people liked it; everyone hated it; it got mixed reviews" Thanks!
@@CaffeineMan1 Had the Tru Blue today. It was okay. Nothing that really stood out especially with all the other blue berry type flavor energy drinks. See what I think about the third flavor tomorrow.
CaffeineMan Okay, had the Red Dragon and that is my favorite of the three. Tastes like a light fruit punch/cherry mix without tasting like an over sugared Kool-Aid beverage. My final rank: 1. Red Dragon 2. Jalapeño Strawberry 3. True Blu
I am late on the bandwagon to a lot of these drinks. Just picked up the Reign Inferno Red Dragon a couple of days ago. Really good! Very heavy on that fruit punch flavor. Thankfully, I love fruit punch. The thermogenic drinks seem to help out whenever I go to work and start moving around a whole lot. My job is a bit more physical being in food service. Love your content CaffeineMan! I also subbed to you about two days ago as well as well as signed up for ZeroPack.
A little late? Well, Im glad you are still able to find them in stores! Sometimes if you are too late, they are already gone, considering how many products Monster releases. Welcome to the channel!!! So happy you found it and enjoy it! Hopefully our taste buds are similar and you love all the drinks in Octobers box!
Another great video. I will be looking for these drinks. Red Dragon maybe be my drink of choice. I do have the new Rockstar Thermo. I have gotten both flavors from 7-Eleven near where I work. No Jalapeno Strawberry on my list for flavors to try. Waiting for the Blake star drink.....Rock on CM !! Till next Tuesday 👌
The Red Dragon may be right up your alley! Im still waiting for the 2nd of the Thermos to be in stores near me. Cant wait to hear your thoughts on Blakestar!!!
I tried the red dragon today and it so good and not too strong plus no ill effects. trying to find a good drink at the age of 45. i cant handle the other brands.
Yeah, it will only be a few years from now that you may be looking for a slightly less caffeinated beverage. As we get older 300mgs starts to be a punch to the system. Glad you like the Red Dragon. Have you tried the regular Reigns, other than the Infernos?
@@CaffeineMan1 yes i tried some of the first ones that came out. They are not bad. At least they dont all have the same weird after taste that the Raze drinks do.
@@wyattmac9701 No worries, time seems to just fly by for me. I started off typing "Yes, new studio!!!" Then decided to look up when I did the remodel and im like, "3 months ago!!!" LOL!
Great video! I saw these at a gas station a couple weeks ago but decided to buy the Rockstar Thermo drinks instead and would buy them the next time I went there. Just 2 days later they were sold out so now I have to wait until I go back this weekend. Here's hoping they'll be in stock.
@allan bacon People sometimes ask me the same thing, since I will sometimes buy one and then have to wait to drink it until the review. For example, I have the Rockstar Thermo in my fridge...BUT Im waiting to find the second one before doing the review, or trying it out.
Always a safe bet! ... but, my new rule of thumb is, you see it, you buy it! You never know when its going to be gone! I didnt pick up a Game Fuel Zero at the first place I saw it at thinking, "I have too many drinks in my fridge to review right now. These will be in stores everywhere." Couldn't find them 2 weeks later and forgot what store I did see them in. 😂
We all have different tastes, likes and dislikes. I still hear a lot of people say BANG Forever! Other say Reign is the best thing in the world. Who's right? We are all right. We like what we like. Not what other people tell us to like. 👍
@Anthony Mercado Im wondering if he meant Rockstar Xdurance though since he was also talking about Bang? But, yeah, if regular Rockstar, one of the highest sugar contents out there. As for Reigns flavors, they specifically came out with similar flavors to compete with, and potentially be better than, the Bang flavors. After the initial release, once people knew it was good they've created their own flavors to show they are not copy cats, such as Orange Dreamsicle, Strawberry sublime and MangoMatic...none of which are in the Bang line. Overall, smart planning.
Most of the bangs taste like artificial sweetner it's weird. There's an odd aftertaste. Some of them are good like the rose, the bang berry, but the majority i've tried have all had that strange taste. I prefer Rockstar ZERO (sour apple, xendurance,) they taste amazing. The reign have been pretty darn good too a couple of them have had the same taste as bang but not as much as the bangs.
@@CaffeineMan1 Ya i meant the Xdurance the cotton candy one to be exact just thought it was better than Reighn's Carnival Candy and Bangs Cotton Candy in my opinion thats all .
@Anthony Mercado it probably wont be on the market too much longer. They can use the shelf space for other new awesome drinks they will be coming out with.
The amount of research and knowledge you have is mind blowing. Epitome of knowing your craft. Hope you can get that reign sponsorship, or maybe a cellucor sponsorship again 🤘
Thanks Jonathan! Glad you appreciate the info. Anything worth doing is worth doing well, so I try to do my best. Glad you like the video and hope you like all the rest as well! 👍
Just picked up a thermo blue I like the reign products they remind me of the bangs it’s good stuff I got a 16 hour shift comin up at work over the weekend so we shall see how it works thank you for your videos
I work at Monster and Red Dragon is best. But, weirdly Jalopeno is what most people like. The first smell will throw you off, but try it. 7 Eleven is required to have it now. Still early and hard to find currently. Ampm is coming soon.
Funny, because it seems like the Jalapeno is a love or hate relationship. A lot of people love it but seemingly many people hate it too. The people on Reddit are torn as well. If anything, controversy will lead to more publication, as well as general intriguing and interest. I'll probably stick to the True Blu and Red Dragon myself. Thanks for watching and commenting! I ignored the comment from the other person about "is it hawaiian punch" because I feel they might have been trolling me... I mean... watch the video? Gotta keep an eye on those trolls. I got a bunch! LOL!!!
It's absolutely love hate. When we introduced it to the coke distributing staff before it launched everyone was exactly as you mention. They loved it or hated it. When we polled the favorite jalapeño flavor won amongst the taste testers of the 3 flavors. To me it has to be Red Dragon all the way. One when you up in morning and I'm good to go. Feels different for sure with thermogenics to me. I had about 2 or 3 weeks of drinking regular Reign and then these and it made me feel better for the day the regular Reign
@@troybaker8113 That definitely confirms everything Ive been hearing then! Love it or hate it! The people who love it will buy it more. The people who hate it, well...at least they bought it once as a novelty. Given the high caffeine content, I tend not to drink them too often because it limits my other caffeine options throughout the day...but that MangoMatic...man. LOL!
No rpoblem! Im all about honest reviews. And even if I dont like something, I recommend people try it out for themselves as well. Just because I may not like something doesnt mean they wont. Thanks for watching!
Nah, not yet. I have so many other reviews to do on companies I havent tried yet, I feel awkward going backwards to review something a company decided to revamp just because Pepsi bought them. "Hey, I have an idea. We can get more sales if we come out with a 'new' Rockstar. Everyone will buy it to try it." Im not a fan of marketing scams... but obviously, everyone wants to know what it tastes like so Im stuck between a rock and a hard place! 😂
@@CaffeineMan1 I tried it, it is like they explained the flavor over the phone to someone. It might as well be a different flavor but I get where you are coming from.
Red Dragon is probably REIGN’s best flavor, True Blue is good but tastes ten times better when extremely cold ( in the freezer for a Bit) I didn’t mind Jalapeño strawberry it was actually pretty good just don’t know if I would buy again.
Wellllll, im not sure if its the BEST Flavor, but its definitely awesome. Then again, Im definitely partial to the berrys and fruits, so obviously we all have different tastes and different opinions. I can see Red Dragon being the best flavor for a lot of people! The Jalapeno Strawberry, glad I tried it. Will I buy it again? Maybe.... not regularly, but the occasional spicy day!
Caffeine man coming in spot on like always. Your flavor reviews are always spot on with my taste tests! Everyone is definitely different but somehow are pallets must be similar because I taste everything you define.
Thats great to hear! Glad we like the same things! Its always a little weird when people dont like the same things, but I do try to describe things as best as possible, even if I dont like it.
Totally agree on red dragon. I'm usually not a fan of fruit punch, but really like this drink because it definitely has something unique about it that makes it tasty
Yeah, they did something really nice with it. I mean, I know a few of my subscribers work at coke, so they may actually be able to give more insight (if they read through the comments), but its not your typical fruit punch, which is nice.
Hot for the club....drink an Inferno! 😂😂😂 My whole family was watching tonight! We about fell out our chairs!😂😂👍 Great review CaffeineMan! A lot of great I fo about the Inferno's ingredients! Keep up the great work!😁👍
Thanks! Glad you liked it. Holy Crap! I made it into family night?!?!?! Im moving up in the world. "Come on children, gather around the glowing box. Mr. CaffeineMan shall be on any time now. Now, you all behave yourselves while he's speaking." 😂
I wonder why they don't put some natural flavor to it. For example, a single beet could "paint" liters and liters of this drink. It actually only shows how cheap these drinks are in production, if a few cents added for natural color is too much for them...
Nah, Im pretty sure they're worried about all the haters who will say there is artificial color in it anyway because it has color. Just to save themselves the hassle they keep it clear. At this point almost all the pre-workouts are clear. Its a "thing" now. 😂
Definitely a unique one for sure. Doubt anyone else would even try to make one similar. And if they did, everyone would just say they were copying Reign.
I just started drinking these before my workouts for the past week. Definitely a good preworkout if you’re on the run. Though I’ve gotta say, my appetite has never been this intense!
Interesting....must have something to do with that increase and heat and extra burn. You may burn a few more calories but then you want to want more. 👍 I dont know if there is any science behind that though, just an excuse to eat more. 😂
😂Well, I do my best to get them when they come out, but it is few and far between when I get the new drinks AND review them, since i usually can only do 1 video a week and in January, tons of new drinks came out.
Jalapeno Strawberry was not good. It wasnt disgusting it was simply terrible. 5 of use tried it at work at the same time this morning and we all ended up pouring it out after about 3 drinks from the can
Its definitely been love or hate for a lot of people. Many people pouring it down the drain, but many people saying its better than all the Bangs combined. I havent heard this much love or hate for a drink since Bang Birthday Cake.
Hmmm.... I wonder if they changed the flavor profile of Monster Lo Carb? I used to drink the lo carb about 4 years ago. There was an auction house not far from me and they would get a case of the lo carb Monster and sell it for $15. 24 cans for $15!!! I had to buy it! Who wouldnt at such a low price. I sacrificed flavor for price. So, I drank them when needed for a solid year. Did not overly like them but drank them because they were cheap and lo carb. These True Blu's are an amazing flavor. Didnt remind me anything like a lo carb Monster. Perhaps I need to do a side by side taste test next!!! Thanks for watching!!! 👍
Side by side would be cool! Lo carb is still the same classic flavor. I really assumed that’s why they named this Reign “True Blu”.... bc Lo carb was the “blue can” before Ultra Blue came out lol. Also an interesting note that would be good to let everyone know that since Dreamsicle launched, ALL reign’s now have 10 calories moving forward. Just a cool fun fact to share with your viewers :)
Yes there were a lot of people. But I Think u should call before ask for a booth there. They should give info. Or can just go fit expo. Or go mr O in las vages. They. More. Stuff. Maybe a booth. What ever is closed.
Caffeine man! I used to hate Red Bull original but have found a new taste for it... I like sugar free energy drinks because no crash etc. Anyways, most of the sugar free energy drinks I have contain sucralose which I feel is the best of the artificial sweeteners. Anyways the sugar free red bull has ace-k and aspartame which have been in my mind the ones to stay away from. What’s your opinion on this?
I plan on eventually doing a video on artificial sweeteners, but it is a very controversial topic. There will always be one group of people that are die hard against specific ones, if not all artificial sugars. Me, personally, I like Erithyritol because it is a sugar alcohol. I dislike the taste of Aspartame because its tastes "diet" to me. And sucralose is one of the most commonly used artificial sweeteners and I dont have anything against it.
I got two of them the green one. At L.A. fit expo. I didn't got other two. I save it for right time to use it. I did got. Full case of regin. . for free on. Frist day at end of day. Hope u joy that brand or rather bang?
I like Reign and Bang but Reign a little more. Did you like LA Fit Expo? A lot of people ? Id like to go to a fitness expo and see what its like...or have a booth there!
I still don't get all the love for Reign...I much prefer Bang, but everyone's tastes are different I suppose. Bang StarBlast and BangsterBerry are incredible. The Reign sour apple is amazing, I will give them that...but Reign mango is the only other flavor of theirs that I care for. The Inferno drinks are OK, they seem like a bit more of a specialty drink for working out, etc.
Im a huge fan of both Reign and Bang. The Bangster Berry is my favorite Bang with Rainbow Unicorn not far behind. Reign Sour Apple WAS my favorite until Mangomatic came along.
The jalepeño flavor was my first one and was definitely out there in terms of flavor but I still thought it was good. Just picked up the red inferno and just as good 👍
out of curiosity because I see Bang drinks on your shelf, have you by chance tried the Root Beer version, as it seems the only place I can find it is directly from Bang.
With so many flavors of Bang some stores don’t carry them all and the older ones sometimes lose shelf space for new ones. Here’s the review I went over that flavor of interested: ruclips.net/video/kSzEiT53Wak/видео.html
The Jalapeno Strawberry flavor I thought it was nasty. Could taste the strawberry but the other flavor didn't taste like jalapeno at all nor was it spicy. The jalapeno tasted like Okra with some dirt flavor mixed in.
It was extremely hit or miss for a lot of people. You either loved it or you hated it and not much in between. The strange thing for a lot of people was that it did taste like jalapeno but without the spiciness (thus not like jalapeno).
@@CaffeineMan1 I'm talking about that sticky stuff you spread on toast. Reign is about $2.50, it goes on sale for $1.98 BOGO every so often. I did try the Jalapeno reign inferno today, and I gotta say, I was not expecting it to be as sweet as it was.
Yep, they're definitely pushing the envelope and doing new things. I mean, when Reign came out, I thought they were going to try and copy all the Bang flavors, but they didnt. They mimicked a few to show they could compete and then starting going in an all new direction. Good stuff.
CaffeineMan give it time Bang will try to compete with this drink there big on there marketing even though there marketing instagram videos get annoying 🤷♂️🤷♂️
I felt the Tru Blu tasted like a blueberry-grape and reminded me too much of Dimetapp to be enjoyable. 100% enjoyed the Jalapeno strawberry though. I'll keep a lookout for Red Dragon as that sounds like the best of them all.
Overall thought they did a good job. Not sure I’ll be picking up the jalapeño again but thoroughly enjoy the fact that they are trying completely new and unique flavors.
I finally found and tried these over the last few days. I liked the Red Dragon the best and it's probably my favorite fruit punch energy drink so far. True Blu was alright but I thought it tasted more like the lo-carb or sugar-free version of Monster. Jalapeno Strawberry was really weird but surprisingly decent for what it is, but I'm not a big fan of jalapenos in general.

Caffeine man I tried the Jalapeño Strawberry today and I love it. I'm not much of a fan of 0 sugar drinks because I can't stand the sucralose flavor but when I tried this one to me it tasted like it had sugar so definitely going to have to buy this one again. Been drinking energy drinks for 17 years now and its always nice to try something new lol ☺
@@mtndewgod88 Nice! Glad you liked it! And always happy to introduce you to something new...after ALL these years!!!
Man your my favorite caffeine reviewer for this Caffeine addict!!
Red Dragon is my favorite. I've been drinking it regularly for several months. That combined with my workout helped me lose ~30 pounds, which makes me feel like the thermogenics work.
Nice! Congrats on the weight! 👍👍👍
red dragon is legit. I know people dont like it because it heats them up, but to me its the best waker upper ever. Especially before work.

😂Its amazing how many people see a new energy drink and then think of me. Im so flattered! And, yeah, this drink only came out a week ago and i had tons of requests, so Im glad Reign sent me some and I got the review as soon as I could.

Great! Thanks for checking in! I love hearing peoples thoughts on the drinks! Happy to hear you liked them both.
The Jalapeño one was so weird to me...I liked it, but kind of didn’t at the same time. True Blue was good. Haven’t tried Red Dragon yet.
Definitely weird! But loved the True Blu as well!
Yeah I barely tried them it was different and it actually has that capcasin in there like jalapeno type extract
Awesome to see you get some well deserved recognition from them!

Good review brother thanks for the support
Thank you thank you! APpreciate it!
A co-worker and I are always talking about Reign. When they released the mango and strawberry lime flavors we went crazy buying them. He prefers the dreamsicle flavor. When the thermogenic flavors released, I had seen them but had not purchased any. Luckily, he had already tried the jalapeno flavor and gave me the heads up that it was not all that great. I prefer the red dragon flavor because it reminds me of the pacific punch monster. I feel as though they recycled some flavors. True blue reminds me of the zero sugar monster. Thanks for introducing me to new options for energy drinks. It helps keep my options open.
Glad to keep showing you new drinks to try out! As for the recycling of drinks, I think they've made a conscious effort to not mimic any of the Monster flavors specifically, because they do want to stand alone as their own company. And even though the Juiced line by Monster was good..... I think the Red Dragon is SO much better AND no sugar! The True Blu, well, its a berry so a lot of berrys are going to taste similar. Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching!!!
You confused the crap outta me by pronouncing it as AL-O-Peno, I thought it was some kind of Aloe Vera/ strawberry drink that was until i saw the label HAHA! Good job, thanks for the review! Still not a Monster fan, I've gotta work through my 2 cases of Bang before i can try the C4 nootropics !
I think I threw a lot of people off, going by my comments section. I guess I can't do videos on Jalapenos and Oranges anymore because I focus too much on the "A"s. And I dont know if you need to finish BOTH cases of Bang before trying the Nootropics. Mix and Match. 👍😂
I read this comment before it got to that point in the video and I was still like wtf is al o peno lol
That actually sounds like a good combo to me, unfortunately I’ve only ever seen the red one in stores.
I love your explanation on calorie storage and deficit
Well, thank you very much! Hopefully you liked the rest of the video too!!! Thanks for watching!
Glad this channel exists. you earned yourself a subscription
Thanks so much! So happy to hear you like the channel and hope you continue to like all I have to offer. Thanks!
The Jalapeño Strawberry is a great combo. One of my favorites. Even better when mixed with some tequila.
Isn't everything? 😂
BUT! Joking aside.... be careful with alocohol and caffeine. its not a good combo and has led to many hospitalizations due to alcohol poisoning and/or caffeine overdose. Most people recover, but nobody likes having to go to the hospital. Basically, the part of your brain that normally makes you pass out when you drink too much, gets overriden by caffeine and it is very very very easy to continue to drink too much since you feel somewhat "OK"
@@CaffeineMan1 agreed. I don't drink enough to get myself to that point.
@@xpauliex1201 Excellent to hear!!!!
Excellent. Very excited to try all 3. Thanks for another review!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!!! 👍
I love your videos CaffeineMan. Been trying all the regular Reign flavors and love them so far. Thanks for another great review!
Thank you so much!!! I appreciate it! Yeah, the Reign drinks are pretty awesome all around!
Great vid. Love your bids that actually elaborate on energy drinks. What about the BCCA content/percentage on these? I couldn't find it.
Thanks! Glad you like them!
So yeah, like a majority of the pre-workout drinks, they don't list the amount of BCAA's. Only a few rare companies do and for a few reasons. 1. They aren't required to list it 2. Theres not enough in there to make a difference. You need between 3-5 grams of BCAAs to make a difference in your workout and some people take more. The amount they can fit into these drinks is insignificant compared to that. Although, I will say this, they give you a decent amount when compared to some of the other well known companies. If you look at the ingredients list, several of the ingredients hover around the top to middle of the list. Its required to list the ingredients from what there is the most of to the least of. Knowing that it has 300mgs of caffeine, you can see where the other ingredients fall around and get a very general idea. These are higher on the ingredients list than several of the other preworkouts.
@@CaffeineMan1 You are right! I'll take decent over none any day. I appreciate your response. Your vids are awesome. Keep it up!
Love your channel caffeine man
Thank you so much! Appreciate it.
👍
Thanks for reviewing these. I have been wondering about Reign Inferno. I like Reign and Bang. I'll have to try them when I can find them.
You're welcome and good luck finding them!
I need to try that jalapeño strawberry that's right up my alley!!
Thanks caffeine man!
Free Man it’s the best drink out right now blows away bang coming spicy 🌶
No problem! Enjoy! Let me know what you think.
@Clash with Spreese's Glad to hear you like it as well!
They need ephedrine, caffeine, aspirin drink and that is all for the ingredients besides flavor and that would be a real thermo drink!!
Sounds like a meth infused drink lol
@@mykelowry6734 Not addictive and it works and lasts for eight hours but like anything bro if you abuse it it will kill you. Well also this is what body builders used in the golden era like Arnold,Lou and so on.
Liquid Phen-fen without the heart side effects
I’ve tried the REIGN Inferno Red Dragon & Warlord Watermelon and those were pretty great flavors! I’ve seen those 2 everywhere I go. As for the blue and green ones, they’re hard to find. I recently found the REIGN Inferno Tru Blu in Chinatown and I’m willing to try it later on this weekend. I’m gonna expect something similar to a Razzle Berry from the regular REIGN line. It’s unfortunate I can’t find the REIGN Inferno Jalapeño Strawberry anywhere.
I think the Jalapeno one was far too niche of a flavor and didnt go over that well.
Tried out the True Blu, and first thing I noticed personally was a a noticeable blast of artificial sweetener that isn’t present in the other Reign drinks. I looked at the back and noticed Acesulfame Potassium as one of the ingredients, which isn’t in the Razzleberry. The aerosol that like taste for me was inescapable and caused a really bad stomach ache later on. Not sure if you experienced any feeling like that. More so, despite having 10 calories unlike the regular 0 Calorie Reign, I found it odd they would use an artificial sweetener so commonly used in diet/zero calorie drinks in Inferno, but not their regular. Still a fan of the brand, but think that ingredient should be removed.
I trust this guy, when your default stance is raised clenched fists you know this guy actually drinks a ton of this stuff!
😂😂😂Thanks so much! Yes, the story behind the clenched fist is an interesting one. Actually, its not as interesting as everyone makes it out to be, but occasionally I incorporate a "Punch" into the video when a drink punches me with flavor.
The short boring story is, its just where my arms fall due to where the arms are on my chair, as well as normal hand placement. If you want to see what happens when I don't do it, check out this video:

This channel is my life, I have tried every single energy drink that has came out since 2011
NICE!!! Glad you like the channel and happy to hear you like energy drinks...but.... have you had EVERY single drink? Or just the ones in stores?
And Im not asking to be a jerk, like, "Oh yeah, did you try this" but moreso out of curiousity. I THOUGHT I had tried a LOT of energy drinks before I started this channel...then found out about a lot more! So, Im curious if you scroll through my video page if you'll see some you havent tried. Thanks for watching! 👍
@@CaffeineMan1 I am going to go through and binge your channel to see if I have missed any, I believe I have tried at least 90%, even the "Pu**Y" energy drink, but for in store, its everything, had local stores near me order them for me, we live in a tight community. When I was in the army and after that working in factories, energy drinks were a must, I have always hated coffee...but I am going to see once I am done if I truly have tried everything. Your channel is perfect my man! I am shocked I have not seen you earlier!
@@ReviewThings Well, that sounds awesome! Glad to have another energy drink connoisseur finding my channel. Its only been around a little over a year and expanding. Glad you found it. I also go over caffeinated products too, like MEG gum, Jolt Gum, Caffeine Bullet Chews, etc, etc,... I even put together playlists to try and make it easier. Hope you like it all. I even recently did Rip It. Military loves their rip it.
I was at the gas station in my work parking lot last week and came across these 3 energy drinks and I had to try them. I agree with you on the review of these. Thank you for giving information on what these drinks are all about with all these ingredients
No problem! Happy to keep everyone informed! Glad you liked it!
just came across your channel love it i have been looking for a channel like this for ever very informative and thorough i tried doing something like this a few years ago lol didn't work to well for me you gained a sub keep up the great work
Thank you so much! I appreciate the compliment and glad you enjoy the channel. YouTubing can be a difficult and time consuming thing to do but I enjoy it and it seems to be working out well and I have energy drinks to keep me going! 😂
Thanks for watching!
By the way Celsius heat has been out for at least a year, they just didn't have distribution to most regular places. (Also capsicum helps absorption)
Yep, I had a few requests for it when it first came out. It came out right around the time I actually did my original Celsius review, so people were starting to ask about back then. Due to the busy schedule, I eventually got to it. If you havent seen it and are interested, I'll link it below:
ruclips.net/video/D1lpIHivXnA/видео.html
I need to try the watermelon Warlord I'm like caffeine man there's so many that I need to try will I ever get to them in time
I just bought all 3 flavors from my local mini-mart. Going to start off with the Jalapeño Strawberry tomorrow (I can eat authentic spicy Mexican salsa so I am not concerned with the spiciness of the flavor).
Good luck! I hope you love them.
As for the spiciness.... its not spicy at all, which is why its so weird. It has the flavor of a Jalapeño but not the spice.
@@CaffeineMan1 Had that this morning. It was like a sweet strawberry with a bite to it.
@@AarmOZ84 Curious how you like the others too. Feel free to keep me posted and i keep a lot of this info in the back of my head for references, ie "Lots of people liked it; everyone hated it; it got mixed reviews"
Thanks!
@@CaffeineMan1 Had the Tru Blue today. It was okay. Nothing that really stood out especially with all the other blue berry type flavor energy drinks. See what I think about the third flavor tomorrow.
CaffeineMan Okay, had the Red Dragon and that is my favorite of the three. Tastes like a light fruit punch/cherry mix without tasting like an over sugared Kool-Aid beverage. My final rank: 1. Red Dragon 2. Jalapeño Strawberry 3. True Blu
Yes. this is the video I requested. Thanks CaffeineMan!!!
You are most certainly welcome!!! Happy to fulfill your request!
(But, I had like 100 requests for it, 😂😂😂)
I am late on the bandwagon to a lot of these drinks. Just picked up the Reign Inferno Red Dragon a couple of days ago. Really good! Very heavy on that fruit punch flavor. Thankfully, I love fruit punch. The thermogenic drinks seem to help out whenever I go to work and start moving around a whole lot. My job is a bit more physical being in food service. Love your content CaffeineMan! I also subbed to you about two days ago as well as well as signed up for ZeroPack.
A little late? Well, Im glad you are still able to find them in stores! Sometimes if you are too late, they are already gone, considering how many products Monster releases. Welcome to the channel!!! So happy you found it and enjoy it! Hopefully our taste buds are similar and you love all the drinks in Octobers box!
It is 2: 00am. Saturday morning, I drank this jalapeno strawberry 5:00 p.m. Thursday it took over 24 hours before I could get some sleep.
Im guessing Reign might not be the right energy drink for you.
Jalapeno strawberry is my FAVORITE by reign ❤️😍
Next would be Orange Dreamsicle.
So so delicious
Good stuff! Gotta love the Reign!
Another great video. I will be looking for these drinks. Red Dragon maybe be my drink of choice. I do have the new Rockstar Thermo. I have gotten both flavors from 7-Eleven near where I work. No Jalapeno Strawberry on my list for flavors to try. Waiting for the Blake star drink.....Rock on CM !! Till next Tuesday 👌
The Red Dragon may be right up your alley! Im still waiting for the 2nd of the Thermos to be in stores near me. Cant wait to hear your thoughts on Blakestar!!!
I just bought a case of monster ultras but if I see these infernos in PENNSYLTUCKY I'll have to pick up a few!
Im sure you'll like them!!!
Big Ups caffeine man. I love you, bro. PS if you have a blow up and get super big don't ever forget about me. LOL, ;-)
Thanks! Appreciate it! How could I ever forget a name such as yours! 😂
@@CaffeineMan1 lol yeayyy your osum bro
I tried the red dragon today and it so good and not too strong plus no ill effects. trying to find a good drink at the age of 45. i cant handle the other brands.
Yeah, it will only be a few years from now that you may be looking for a slightly less caffeinated beverage. As we get older 300mgs starts to be a punch to the system. Glad you like the Red Dragon. Have you tried the regular Reigns, other than the Infernos?
@@CaffeineMan1 yes i tried some of the first ones that came out. They are not bad. At least they dont all have the same weird after taste that the Raze drinks do.
New background? Looks new. Great video!
Define new, 😂
Did the remodel in November 2019. Glad you like it! Spent a lot of time I. It and wish I had slightly more room for more drinks👍🏻
@@CaffeineMan1 guess i haven't paid much attention to that. I agree more room for more drinks would be awesome!
@@wyattmac9701 No worries, time seems to just fly by for me. I started off typing "Yes, new studio!!!" Then decided to look up when I did the remodel and im like, "3 months ago!!!" LOL!
@@CaffeineMan1 sure does man
Great video! I saw these at a gas station a couple weeks ago but decided to buy the Rockstar Thermo drinks instead and would buy them the next time I went there. Just 2 days later they were sold out so now I have to wait until I go back this weekend. Here's hoping they'll be in stock.
Sold out!??!?! Wow!
Yeah, I only found one of the 2 Rockstar Thermos so far. Wondering why theyd only release one near me?
I just picked up the Jalapeño strawberry one. Gonna pop that one open later this week
How can you wait to try a new energy drink ?
Allan Bacon my brother is “captain spicy guy”, so I bought a couple to try when I see him this week
Nice! Let me know what you think! 👍
@allan bacon People sometimes ask me the same thing, since I will sometimes buy one and then have to wait to drink it until the review. For example, I have the Rockstar Thermo in my fridge...BUT Im waiting to find the second one before doing the review, or trying it out.
Saw them today in my 7-11 but I had to get my sour apple reign instead and check if the caffeine man had made a review yet haha.
Always a safe bet! ... but, my new rule of thumb is, you see it, you buy it! You never know when its going to be gone! I didnt pick up a Game Fuel Zero at the first place I saw it at thinking, "I have too many drinks in my fridge to review right now. These will be in stores everywhere." Couldn't find them 2 weeks later and forgot what store I did see them in. 😂
I just don't know why but i just don't like Reighn's flavors as much as bang maybe its just me but i still think Bang and Rockstar is better
We all have different tastes, likes and dislikes. I still hear a lot of people say BANG Forever! Other say Reign is the best thing in the world. Who's right? We are all right. We like what we like. Not what other people tell us to like. 👍
@Anthony Mercado Im wondering if he meant Rockstar Xdurance though since he was also talking about Bang? But, yeah, if regular Rockstar, one of the highest sugar contents out there. As for Reigns flavors, they specifically came out with similar flavors to compete with, and potentially be better than, the Bang flavors. After the initial release, once people knew it was good they've created their own flavors to show they are not copy cats, such as Orange Dreamsicle, Strawberry sublime and MangoMatic...none of which are in the Bang line. Overall, smart planning.
Mango-Matic, Strawberry Sublime, and Razzleberry are my faves. The Red Dragon and Tru Blu are the Inferno flavors i like.
Most of the bangs taste like artificial sweetner it's weird. There's an odd aftertaste. Some of them are good like the rose, the bang berry, but the majority i've tried have all had that strange taste. I prefer Rockstar ZERO (sour apple, xendurance,) they taste amazing. The reign have been pretty darn good too a couple of them have had the same taste as bang but not as much as the bangs.
@@CaffeineMan1 Ya i meant the Xdurance the cotton candy one to be exact just thought it was better than Reighn's Carnival Candy and Bangs Cotton Candy in my opinion thats all .
Learned a 3rd way to pronounce this pepper! Just coming off a Reign Melon; whoooooo. Another solid review from CM.
lots of way to pronounce it, especially when the J is silent. So many interpretations! Glad you liked the review! Thanks!
I gotta try that jalapeno one.
I'm hooked on the Bang caramel apple right now
Yeah...that apple. Good stuff. My case is already gone....yet there are still some Miami Colas lingering about. LOL!
@@CaffeineMan1 cuz Miami Cola is nastay haha
@@JMo-uh5cd You said it, not me!!! Dont wanna get myself into trouble. LOL
@Anthony Mercado it probably wont be on the market too much longer. They can use the shelf space for other new awesome drinks they will be coming out with.
The amount of research and knowledge you have is mind blowing. Epitome of knowing your craft. Hope you can get that reign sponsorship, or maybe a cellucor sponsorship again 🤘
Thanks Jonathan! Glad you appreciate the info. Anything worth doing is worth doing well, so I try to do my best. Glad you like the video and hope you like all the rest as well! 👍
I love how you put so much dedication into your vids 👏 Love the great vid 👍
Thank you so much. Appreciate it! If you're going to do something, might as well do it right... right? 👍
Just picked up a thermo blue I like the reign products they remind me of the bangs it’s good stuff I got a 16 hour shift comin up at work over the weekend so we shall see how it works thank you for your videos
Glad you like the videos! Thanks for watching!
I work at Monster and Red Dragon is best. But, weirdly Jalopeno is what most people like. The first smell will throw you off, but try it. 7 Eleven is required to have it now. Still early and hard to find currently. Ampm is coming soon.
Funny, because it seems like the Jalapeno is a love or hate relationship. A lot of people love it but seemingly many people hate it too. The people on Reddit are torn as well. If anything, controversy will lead to more publication, as well as general intriguing and interest. I'll probably stick to the True Blu and Red Dragon myself. Thanks for watching and commenting! I ignored the comment from the other person about "is it hawaiian punch" because I feel they might have been trolling me... I mean... watch the video? Gotta keep an eye on those trolls. I got a bunch! LOL!!!
It's absolutely love hate. When we introduced it to the coke distributing staff before it launched everyone was exactly as you mention. They loved it or hated it. When we polled the favorite jalapeño flavor won amongst the taste testers of the 3 flavors. To me it has to be Red Dragon all the way. One when you up in morning and I'm good to go. Feels different for sure with thermogenics to me. I had about 2 or 3 weeks of drinking regular Reign and then these and it made me feel better for the day the regular Reign
@@troybaker8113 That definitely confirms everything Ive been hearing then! Love it or hate it! The people who love it will buy it more. The people who hate it, well...at least they bought it once as a novelty. Given the high caffeine content, I tend not to drink them too often because it limits my other caffeine options throughout the day...but that MangoMatic...man. LOL!
I deliver these drinks and ive tried the bang, redline and original reigns so its nice to hear an honest review abnout this
No rpoblem! Im all about honest reviews. And even if I dont like something, I recommend people try it out for themselves as well. Just because I may not like something doesnt mean they wont. Thanks for watching!
Have you done a review on the new Rockstar Original yet? Will be binging your videos haha.
Nah, not yet. I have so many other reviews to do on companies I havent tried yet, I feel awkward going backwards to review something a company decided to revamp just because Pepsi bought them.
"Hey, I have an idea. We can get more sales if we come out with a 'new' Rockstar. Everyone will buy it to try it."
Im not a fan of marketing scams... but obviously, everyone wants to know what it tastes like so Im stuck between a rock and a hard place! 😂
@@CaffeineMan1 I tried it, it is like they explained the flavor over the phone to someone. It might as well be a different flavor but I get where you are coming from.
Red Dragon is my new favorite Reign.
Definitely ranks up there! Glad you like it!
It’s literally a knock off of Power Punch Bang
@@ShaneTumminello but way better in my opinion. It just destroyed bang in terms of taste fizz and pump and it lasts long too
You seem like a really humble guy caffeine man 😌
Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Thanks for watching and hope you like my other videos as well.
Red Dragon is probably REIGN’s best flavor, True Blue is good but tastes ten times better when extremely cold ( in the freezer for a Bit) I didn’t mind Jalapeño strawberry it was actually pretty good just don’t know if I would buy again.
Wellllll, im not sure if its the BEST Flavor, but its definitely awesome. Then again, Im definitely partial to the berrys and fruits, so obviously we all have different tastes and different opinions. I can see Red Dragon being the best flavor for a lot of people! The Jalapeno Strawberry, glad I tried it. Will I buy it again? Maybe.... not regularly, but the occasional spicy day!
Been waiting for this one!!!
The wait is over!!!! Enjoy!
You should Do a Valentines Day themed T-shirt with a Heart that reads: *To My (Medium to High) Sweetness*
😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Red Dragon has a twist of dragon fruit in it!
Makes sense!!!! 👍👍👍
Great content, keep it up!
Thanks so much! Appreciate it! 👍
Caffeine man coming in spot on like always. Your flavor reviews are always spot on with my taste tests! Everyone is definitely different but somehow are pallets must be similar because I taste everything you define.
Thats great to hear! Glad we like the same things! Its always a little weird when people dont like the same things, but I do try to describe things as best as possible, even if I dont like it.
Totally agree on red dragon. I'm usually not a fan of fruit punch, but really like this drink because it definitely has something unique about it that makes it tasty
Yeah, they did something really nice with it. I mean, I know a few of my subscribers work at coke, so they may actually be able to give more insight (if they read through the comments), but its not your typical fruit punch, which is nice.
Im looking at the ingredients on my red dragon - looks like they moved citruline to the 2nd ingredient!!
Oh wow, thats pretty good!
just tried the JALAPENO STRAWBERRY. Before doing dead lifts lets just say its warm lol. I am soaked. Amazing taste.
Glad you liked it AND stayed warm! LOL!
@@CaffeineMan1 it did although i dont know why they named it Jalapeno Strawberry i got no taste of it the Jalapeno wasway overpowering.
Hot for the club....drink an Inferno! 😂😂😂
My whole family was watching tonight! We about fell out our chairs!😂😂👍
Great review CaffeineMan! A lot of great I fo about the Inferno's ingredients! Keep up the great work!😁👍
Thanks! Glad you liked it. Holy Crap! I made it into family night?!?!?! Im moving up in the world.
"Come on children, gather around the glowing box. Mr. CaffeineMan shall be on any time now. Now, you all behave yourselves while he's speaking."
😂
another great review man. i like about 6 to 8 grams of citrulline for working out. can't wait to try these before a gym session.
Thanks! Yeah, 6-8 is one of those super healthy doses, so these drinks should add to it a bit!
12pk=$25 on the internet. If you pay more for that then you’re getting skimmed. If you buy bulk it’s around $18-$23 a pk.
Ahh I love the origin reign! That stuff will really keep you awake.. I'm going to have to give this a try
Good luck!
I wonder why they don't put some natural flavor to it. For example, a single beet could "paint" liters and liters of this drink. It actually only shows how cheap these drinks are in production, if a few cents added for natural color is too much for them...
Nah, Im pretty sure they're worried about all the haters who will say there is artificial color in it anyway because it has color. Just to save themselves the hassle they keep it clear. At this point almost all the pre-workouts are clear. Its a "thing" now. 😂
Congratulations on getting recognized by reign such a big company I was suprised
Thanks! I was surprised as well... pleasantly surprised!
@@CaffeineMan1 no problem
Made my day once again
Awesome! Happy to hear it! Thanks for watching!
What?!?! Reign inferno? Great review man you keep on putting on this great content your good at what you do
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
CaffeineMan yessir 👍👍👍
Keep it up caffeine man, good reviews.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
The jalapeño strawberry is really good, you taste jalapeños but the strawberry mellows the spice its so good and creative
Definitely a unique one for sure. Doubt anyone else would even try to make one similar. And if they did, everyone would just say they were copying Reign.
@@CaffeineMan1 facts on that one 💯
I just started drinking these before my workouts for the past week. Definitely a good preworkout if you’re on the run. Though I’ve gotta say, my appetite has never been this intense!
Interesting....must have something to do with that increase and heat and extra burn. You may burn a few more calories but then you want to want more. 👍
I dont know if there is any science behind that though, just an excuse to eat more. 😂
I get the drinks the same time you upload reviews of them 😂 a sign to watch caffeine man
😂Well, I do my best to get them when they come out, but it is few and far between when I get the new drinks AND review them, since i usually can only do 1 video a week and in January, tons of new drinks came out.
Jalapeno Strawberry was not good. It wasnt disgusting it was simply terrible. 5 of use tried it at work at the same time this morning and we all ended up pouring it out after about 3 drinks from the can
Its definitely been love or hate for a lot of people. Many people pouring it down the drain, but many people saying its better than all the Bangs combined. I havent heard this much love or hate for a drink since Bang Birthday Cake.
I tried all 3 and I like them.
Red dragon is my fav
Nice! Glad you liked them! 👍
True Blu tastes just like Monster Lo Carb. The official flavor profile given by the company is “traditional energy flavor” for True Blu.
Hmmm.... I wonder if they changed the flavor profile of Monster Lo Carb? I used to drink the lo carb about 4 years ago. There was an auction house not far from me and they would get a case of the lo carb Monster and sell it for $15. 24 cans for $15!!! I had to buy it! Who wouldnt at such a low price. I sacrificed flavor for price. So, I drank them when needed for a solid year. Did not overly like them but drank them because they were cheap and lo carb. These True Blu's are an amazing flavor. Didnt remind me anything like a lo carb Monster. Perhaps I need to do a side by side taste test next!!! Thanks for watching!!! 👍
Side by side would be cool! Lo carb is still the same classic flavor. I really assumed that’s why they named this Reign “True Blu”.... bc Lo carb was the “blue can” before Ultra Blue came out lol. Also an interesting note that would be good to let everyone know that since Dreamsicle launched, ALL reign’s now have 10 calories moving forward. Just a cool fun fact to share with your viewers :)
And I think the hint of Dragon Fruit is what gives Red Dragon that nice sophisticated Fruit punch taste lol
Congratz 2 the winner :)
Yeah!!!
Still waiting to hear from her actually.
Yes there were a lot of people. But I Think u should call before ask for a booth there. They should give info. Or can just go fit expo. Or go mr O in las vages. They. More. Stuff. Maybe a booth. What ever is closed.
Thanks! I will keep it in mind for the future. I am curious how I will do if I went. I did a Comic event and will be doing a Gamer event as well.
I didn't think the jalapeno strawberry was a bad flavor, nor did it have any heat, but it was strange.
Strange is the appropriate word. More of a pepper taste than hot spicy.
I like the jalapeño one reminds me of the Leno’s is you get at Trader Joe’s and love the martinis and margarita too
Glad you like it! Now I got something new to look for at Trader Joes !
Caffeine man! I used to hate Red Bull original but have found a new taste for it... I like sugar free energy drinks because no crash etc. Anyways, most of the sugar free energy drinks I have contain sucralose which I feel is the best of the artificial sweeteners. Anyways the sugar free red bull has ace-k and aspartame which have been in my mind the ones to stay away from. What’s your opinion on this?
I plan on eventually doing a video on artificial sweeteners, but it is a very controversial topic. There will always be one group of people that are die hard against specific ones, if not all artificial sugars. Me, personally, I like Erithyritol because it is a sugar alcohol. I dislike the taste of Aspartame because its tastes "diet" to me. And sucralose is one of the most commonly used artificial sweeteners and I dont have anything against it.
I got two of them the green one. At L.A. fit expo. I didn't got other two. I save it for right time to use it. I did got. Full case of regin. . for free on. Frist day at end of day. Hope u joy that brand or rather bang?
I like Reign and Bang but Reign a little more. Did you like LA Fit Expo? A lot of people ? Id like to go to a fitness expo and see what its like...or have a booth there!
I still don't get all the love for Reign...I much prefer Bang, but everyone's tastes are different I suppose. Bang StarBlast and BangsterBerry are incredible. The Reign sour apple is amazing, I will give them that...but Reign mango is the only other flavor of theirs that I care for. The Inferno drinks are OK, they seem like a bit more of a specialty drink for working out, etc.
Im a huge fan of both Reign and Bang. The Bangster Berry is my favorite Bang with Rainbow Unicorn not far behind. Reign Sour Apple WAS my favorite until Mangomatic came along.
The jalepeño flavor was my first one and was definitely out there in terms of flavor but I still thought it was good. Just picked up the red inferno and just as good 👍
Glad to hear you like them! Thanks for watching! 👍
out of curiosity because I see Bang drinks on your shelf, have you by chance tried the Root Beer version, as it seems the only place I can find it is directly from Bang.
With so many flavors of Bang some stores don’t carry them all and the older ones sometimes lose shelf space for new ones. Here’s the review I went over that flavor of interested:
ruclips.net/video/kSzEiT53Wak/видео.html
The Jalapeno Strawberry flavor I thought it was nasty. Could taste the strawberry but the other flavor didn't taste like jalapeno at all nor was it spicy. The jalapeno tasted like Okra with some dirt flavor mixed in.
It was extremely hit or miss for a lot of people. You either loved it or you hated it and not much in between. The strange thing for a lot of people was that it did taste like jalapeno but without the spiciness (thus not like jalapeno).
I’ve seen habanero strawberry jam at the store. Kinda interested, but not $8 interested. Maybe, on a really good payday.
Definitely an interesting flavor. $8 a can?
Only $2.50 here.
@@CaffeineMan1 I'm talking about that sticky stuff you spread on toast. Reign is about $2.50, it goes on sale for $1.98 BOGO every so often. I did try the Jalapeno reign inferno today, and I gotta say, I was not expecting it to be as sweet as it was.
I will definitely check the gas station near me to see if these are available. I am intrigued by Red Dragon and Tru Blu.
They should be. Monster/Reign/Coke is amazing with its distribution.
@@CaffeineMan1 oh I know they go above and beyond. I have never tried Coke energy yet. Been addicted to Reign energy lately
@@joepalladino9257 With good reason, Reign has lots of yummy flavors!
I loved the Jalepeno Strawberry. I'm watching this post-disconuting, and it's sad.
Yea I really enjoyed these new Reign drinks love how they doing what Celsius does with there thermogenesis and using L-Carnatine
Yep, they're definitely pushing the envelope and doing new things. I mean, when Reign came out, I thought they were going to try and copy all the Bang flavors, but they didnt. They mimicked a few to show they could compete and then starting going in an all new direction. Good stuff.
CaffeineMan give it time Bang will try to compete with this drink there big on there marketing even though there marketing instagram videos get annoying 🤷♂️🤷♂️
I felt the Tru Blu tasted like a blueberry-grape and reminded me too much of Dimetapp to be enjoyable. 100% enjoyed the Jalapeno strawberry though. I'll keep a lookout for Red Dragon as that sounds like the best of them all.
Overall thought they did a good job. Not sure I’ll be picking up the jalapeño again but thoroughly enjoy the fact that they are trying completely new and unique flavors.
I finally found and tried these over the last few days. I liked the Red Dragon the best and it's probably my favorite fruit punch energy drink so far. True Blu was alright but I thought it tasted more like the lo-carb or sugar-free version of Monster. Jalapeno Strawberry was really weird but surprisingly decent for what it is, but I'm not a big fan of jalapenos in general.
Over all they did a great job with them. I think a lot of people agree about the red and blue and a lot of people disagree about the jalapeño. 😀
0:55 yeah I don’t think Reign needs any more caffeine
Agreed!
The True Blu feels more like a traditional energy drink, it tastes similar to Monster Gronk/ Classic Redbull to me
Thanks for your thoughts on it. I still kinda see a berry drink, but I can tastes hints of classic energy drink flavor as well. Thanks for watching!
Factss, it taste like a redbull to me but then again i haven't drank a Red Bull in like 10 years so idk
Thermogenic drinks sound good to me! Glad that Reign reached out to you bro!! Keep it up my friend :)
I think they're going to be a big hit.
YEs, was very happy to receive a message from them!
