Funny.... I quote that in my video. Rockstar made the 16oz can advertising twice the size, same price, and monster stole it (borrowed it, whatever) Dont tell me you're stealing things like Monster does! They're brainwashing everyone! 😂
Well, by sugar content alone, Rockstar has the highest sugar content out of the three, then Monster and then Red Bull. Monster also uses sucralose as an extra sweetener, making it even sweeter. But, we all have different tastes, and they are all fairly close, so theyre all pretty sweet. 👍
@CaffineMan yeah I haven’t really tried many energy drinks and I think that is because of Monster. The first time I tried original monster, I really didn’t like the after taste, which I now know is sucralose, and I thought that attribute was the same for all energy drinks and that’s why I always kind of shied away from them.
Solid video. I understand your dislike about the business practices of Monster energy drinks. On the flip side, there are few flavors that I enjoy from Monster that simply are not found in our brands of energy drinks. The main one is the Ultra Sunrise drink that has a strong orange-like flavor. It is very easy to find a flavor and I tend to purchase it often. Other drinks are more of a hunting season for any certain flavor or brand. At times I don't have the time or energy to go around town search for various drinks. Your reviews and opinions are well taken and it is why I keep coming back to view your videos. Entertaining, informative, and unique formate to share all things caffeine. Perfect for these products. Thank you for your hard work, time, and energy you place into these videos. Cheers !! FYI, I finally found Fresa Rose Bang drink. It was good but way too sweet for my taste.
Thanks for the long, in-depth, complimentary comment!!! Very much appreciated! Im glad I can provide you with good information in a non-boring way! Now.... lets see how long before the hate comments come through. Im shocked there havent been any yet.
Robert Theodore Garcia, i completely agree with everything you say! I love monster for their product but their business practices I’m not very fond of. I love the monster rehab, java, and the juice line. I have not yet tried the ultra series but that is the next drink I’d like to try. I really liked what you said about “there are few flavors that I enjoy from monster that simply are not found in other brands of energy drinks”. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I know a lot of people love Monster and I don't have much bad to say about the Ultras. Im happy that they realized they had to expand out to sugar free energy drinks and they did a decent job with some of them. I mean, they are the 2nd ranked energy drink company, for good reason. I just prefer others.
@@Dcn8r22 my favourites are red it has a nice berry flavor and white.Blue barely has flavor and it irritates my throat idk.Black/blue is good for those who like original monster flavor but its too sweet but i dont like it.
Agreed! I said it in several of my other videos that energy drinks dont kill people. People kill people. In my How Much Caffeine is Too Much Caffeine video, I give numerous cases where people were hospitalized or even died from energy drinks, but it wasnt the energy drinks fault, it was the people who over consumed them. One of my favorite examples is when a drunk driver hits someone. Do they blame the beer company? No. Its the person. So why do the energy drinks get the blame for a persons poor judgement. its not right.
Drinking a monster while watching this - and man i love that battery acid type flavor. although I think monsters are super good tasting - I can see where you are coming from. I remember you mentioned in one of your videos you don't like a lot of carbonation, and monster has a ton of carbonation. And the battery acid type taste might be something a lot of people dislike. Great video! It always humors me when non energy drink consumers say redbull has more caffeine than monster or -insert drink here-, when redbull caffeine count is super low. Basically to every non energy drink consumer, redbull has the highest ammount of caffeine ever.
Oh yeah, high carbonation and usually high sugar. BUT they do have a lot of drinks and the more that Ive tried since Ive had my channel, the more Ive found that have been pretty good. As for caffeine, both companies usually have the standard energy drink amount of 10mgs per ounce. The Monster is a 16oz can at 160mgs. The mini 8oz red bull is 80 mgs and their 16oz red bull is 160.
I know. Monster reminds me of Mountain Dew in the fact that they release soooooo many new drinks, that they can't possibly keep them all on the shelves so some need to be discontinued. Unfortunately, even though they may sell a LOT of them, if its not the most popular flavor, they end up discontinuing it and make a LOT of people angry (or sad) about it.
They still produce it as 'Ripper', I don't think it's in US but plenty countries in Europe have this, it's the same flavor just less juice (they went from 80% to 50% then to 30% and it's now at 20%)
Honestly all your points are valid. I still personally like Monster because I love sweet drinks, and also because in my country (Poland) not many big brands are availible. Red Bull is half the size for a higher price, and in Poland where there's a strong mentality of getting the most value for your money, it's simply better to get 2 times the size for a lower price while still getting a known brand. Obviously there are local brand cheap energy drinks here, but most of them taste bad and even if you find a good taste, it usually feels watered down, as if it was half the intended drink and half water to save the price. We used to have Rockstar which I liked very much, but for some reason I can't find it anywhere these days. For all these reasons, Monster is the go-to international energy drink brand in Poland. We also have 2 fairly big local brands - Tiger and Black. Some of them are good, but some flavors suffer from the problems that I mentioned earlier. I wish we had more choice, maybe one day other brands will expand enough to reach Poland.
Well, Monster is the 2nd largest energy drink company for a reason. Millions of people love it and they make a billion dollars selling it, so it definitely has to be good. Ive even done some additional reviews after this video where I have been finding more Monsters that I actually like.
I absolutely love this video. My mom and dad are always complaining when I have an energy drink ( even though I’m 29 and don’t live with them lol) and it gets old. They blame the energy drink instead of the people over consuming and I love the drunk driver/ Budweiser analogy. 👌
Awesome! Glad you liked it and hopefully I have you some ammunition for your next energy drink debate with them. Unfortunately, if they are anything like my parents, it will just go in one ear and out the other. How can WE know more than THEM? They're the parents. They know whats best for us. 😂 If they like RUclips, you should show them some of my videos on the healthier energy drinks. It might make them feel better about them if they know more....instead of listening to the media.
Hey I’m glad I found your channel I’m a huge energy drinker so it’s always good to hear opinions about different energy drinks. Your reviews are great, very informative and I like seeing all the cans in the background
I've came across your channel and found this video whilst researching the history of the monster brand. great video!! I've learned a lot about them. I've recently started trying out monster drinks, especially their juiced flavours like mango loco, pipeline and nitro superdry, they're really nice. But They're all full sugar monster drinks, how many cans per week would you recommend? Is having 1 or 2 cans a sensible approach?
Welcome to the channel!!! I hope you enjoy all that my channel has to offer!!! To answer your question I first have to preface it with "im not a doctor', lol... but its true, Im not. Its really a matter of how your body reacts to sugar. I started having less and less sugar in my drinks about 3 years ago just because I wanted to be healthier. There are some people that can burn off sugar faster and others who don't. Its a matter of how sedentary you are. Even some people that are very active like to have zero sugar energy drinks. Do I, personally, think 1 or 2 cans of sugared energy drinks are ok? I do... although I do recommend looking into some of their Ultra flavors or even other companies like Ghost, GOrilla Mind, C4 and lots of other companies that are sugar-free. Currently, there are more sugar-free energy drinks on the market than sugared. That being said, there are some people that just hate the taste of sugar-free drinks and that is perfectly fine. 1 or 2 a week shouldn't break the bank. I mean, look at how many people drink soda and those are heavy in sugar, and should be drank sparingly as well. Hope it helps.
Thanks! I mean, it makes sense to me, but I dont understand why nobody else hasnt said it. Maybe I should become an energy drink lawyer.... one of the good ones though, not the suing ones. "Your Honor! Would we not sue budweiser for the poor decisions of others? Why in fact would we then sue Monster?" CASE DISMISSED! Another victory for CaffeineMan, Lawyer by day, CaffeineAddict by night (and day)
Monster Ultras are a sure favourite of mine. I find that so many energy drinks have the same sour and strange aftertaste. I've yet to try a wider selection of other energy drinks though, so I''ll be sure to check some out!
So many other energy drinks to try out as well. Dont get me wrong, I do like some of the Monster Ultras, but be sure to browse through my page because ive gone over hundreds of energy drinks with hundreds more to go. Thanks for watching!
I was a huge fan of Monster original back in the 2000 era. My buddy liked Red Bull. Different strokes. I've been curious about your own reasons since I discovered your channel. Thanks for the insight!
In more than 95% of my videos, I try to use time stamps so people can go to whereever they want to go, in case there werent timestamps in this video. This was just one big long complaint. In general I will go over company info, ingredients and the taste test. I put timestamps in the description box and I have even started putting them into a pinned comment for those using mobile devices. I try to trim down the videos where I can, but they all do tend to be a bit long...which is why I use timestamps. Hopefully you find them useful! Thanks for watching! Appreciate it!
Tier List of all the drinks is on my to-do list, but Im going to wait until Ive had a few more on my request list that I havent tried yet so that I have an accurate representation.
@@romanm90 It started off as an imaginary short list in my head....but people just kept requesting stuff, so I had to make an actual written list on a post-it note.... Then, people kept requesting before I could make the video, I had to start a list on my computer....so, yeah, I have a list!!! I dont necessarily ask for requests, like a DJ or something. People just make requests. Sometimes people DEMAND requests and those usually dont happen, but the nice ones get put on the list. I don't discuss the details of the list though, because sometimes the list gets shifted around a touch here and there. But, I do make sure I try to get to everything on this list. I think, the longest anyone has waited has been 12 weeks...and thats just because I can only do 1 video a week. Currently on my request list, there are 21 energy drinks. And thats just the request list. I have my own personal list of 5 energy drinks, plus the several caffeinated Products and Informative videos I need to do.... so, guess what....? Im not going anywhere. You should hang around and see what I got to offer. LOL!!!
Bang actually makes several of the energy shots and its on my list to review. Energy shots havent really performed well on my channel so Ive been holding off while I try to make a dent in these energy drink requests...as well as the occasional product and informative video. From what Ive seen at Vitamin shope they have it in Bangster BErry, Rainbow Unicorn, PEach and Purple Haze. Im sure other places have different ones. I could probably look it up on the Bang website....but... Im busy replying to comments 😂
Work! Ugh.... I know the feeling. I never doubted you stopped watching but was used to seeing you being first. First or not, glad you're still doing well!
CaffeineMan Haha yup, did miss being in the comments, like i said super glad to be back, ill make an effort to comment on every video again! Might be a little late, but should still be able to.
No worries! Don't feel obligated. Its perfectly fine to lurk if you need to lurk. I'll know in my heart that you are there! And if you do comment late, late is better than never.....but never is ok too. Go with your gut. 👍😀
disagree with you on the monster flavor but i didnt realize how bad their business practices are. thanks for the info my man. love the videos as always
Should taste more like Powerade, since Monster is also associated with them. I mention it in my review. But, yes, Gatorade and Powerade are fairly similar! ruclips.net/video/dqy25Tti124/видео.html
Hey CaffeineMan! Just wanted leave a comment saying that even though i dont really use caffeine products, i still love your channel because of the informative nature of your videos. I hope you soon reach that big 10K mark. Keep on keeping on!
Thanks! I really appreciate that! Im glad Im able to help keep people informed on these topics and although I do a lot of energy drink reviews, I still like to get other caffeine related content out there as well. The big 10K is slow to arrive. Im not complaining though!!! I only say that because I was just getting 50-100 subscribers a day so, when I hit 9000, I thought it was inevitable...but then it slowed down to 15-20 a day. LOL!!! Some would say there was an algorithm change, but I just blame summertime. Thanks for watching!!!
Yeah, I mentioned my dad only drinks one monster flavor which is the ultra white, but since this quarantine is making me bored and I'm taste testing everything by drinking 1 drink a day, so far in Monster, ive had all the ultras (excluding black, red, and blue) all the hydros (excluding mean green, manic melon, purple passion, and blue ice) and just today the original that started it all.
A main issue I have with many Monsters (the OG as an example) is that i hate the taste of the apple juice they have. A common suggestion to people that don’t like the “Monster” taste is to not get one with Apple juice in it. Also you’re right. I love the Aussie Lemonade one but the sugar amount (46g to be exact) makes it a hard sell for me to consume often. I often choose the Rehab ones instead, and I avoid almost every one that uses the apple juice.
Well, they made over a Billion dollars this year, so Im sure they support the athletes that help them bring in even more revenue. Gotta spend money to make money! Thanks for watching! 👍
mike roberts, I’m a huge fan of another drink called Peace Tea. They have a Georgia peach flavor and it sooooo good, the peach rehab kinda reminds of the flavor. ( not just because it’s peach flavored)
I used to drink monster, but i found it didnt have an effect on me. (i work night shifts). It just made me more tired in a way. I switched to reign, keeps me awake the whole night
The classic Monster taste is pretty good, but for some reason it's even better in their Absolutely Zero version of the drink. It's the same taste - or even better - without the sugar. Definitely my favorite energy drink but I'm not sure they make it anymore.
I think Ive seen it recently? If it came off the market they may have been doing it to repackage it maybe? They're been redoing the packaging/graphics on a lot of their drinks lately.
Its all the subliminal messages I put in it. Trying my best to convert all the Monster lovers. 😂 Some of the things are easily agreeable and some of the points are very weak...but overall, I think I got my point across and Ive done tons of reviews on them since this video.... and actually found some I like!!! 😱😱😱
Thanks for your opinion on this. I wasn’t ever a huge monster fan either. I mean, their ultras aren’t terrible but some other products are not of my forté. But thanks for the video Man!
YEah, I felt it was time to get it out the way so people wouldnt keep asking me what I was alluding too or asking why I said what I said. So, now its out there. Glad you liked the video! Thanks!
Actually, this video was a bit older and still somewhat new to reviewing the drinks. As Ive reviewed more, Ive found several that I liked. Monster Maxx Mango, Monster Ultra Fiesta, Ultra Watermelon, Ultra Peach and several others. Feel free to keep watching my videos to find out more about the Monsters Ive tried. 👍👍👍
😂😂😂 I don't think my 10,000 subsci....ALMOST 10K...almost... subscriber count, will have that big of an effect on their stock. And if it does...Im sure a lawsuit will be flying my way next.
IM WITH YOU !! Monster taste really sweet ;p and doesn't give me much energy, I always go for BANG, rockstar 300mg+, or good old black coffee :) great video :)
I get your point regarding the beer-drink driving comparison. Journalists/politicians hit the energy drink companies because - Energy drinks are relatively new, when you consider alcohol has been around for hundreds of years - Often its 13-25 year old drinking energy drinks. Their concern for the "impressionable" is virtue signalling at its finest - Alcohol spans all classes, whereas energy drinks more likely to be consumed by lower-working class people compared to middle-higher class people. Journalists/politicians and older people in general are so far removed from energy drinks they simply hate their foreignness and unfamiliarity. Its a great shame for all of us who consume responsibly as part of a balanced diet/exercise - having to accept the stigma of people looking down on our hobbies!
I can agree with a lot of what you said, although I do debate a little bit on what classes drink them. There are plenty of business people and middle class people that use them to get them through work. There are lots of blue collar workers that use them, as well as (to some people surprise) the medical community. Doctors and Nurses work long hours and use these drinks. They are educated and know which ones are good for you and which ones are bad for you. Also, people that workout (being sterotypical here, not ALL workout people) pay to go to the gym and usually buy expensive foods (organic) as well as supplements to help build their body. Those are all costs that not all lower working class people can afford. Just generalizing though. So, Im fairly confident class isnt the issue.... but age certainly is. And luckily enough we are jumping on the healthier energy drink bandwagon now to help people change their minds. If people continue to share my videos and get the word out on CaffeineMan, we can change the opinions of thousands! Millions!!! Ok, caffeine kicking in. More comments to respond too. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!!
Yeah, I didn’t expect everyone to agree with me since it is the second ranked energy drink company out there 😂 And I’ve been trying more of their flavors and been impressed with a few👍🏻
@@CaffeineMan1 favorite flavor Monster series is Java and favorite Java flavor is Irish blend. I'm new to the channel and I get a kick out of watching people's reaction to trying new flavors
@@skyayala9306 Welcome to the channel!!! My reactions may be a bit underwhelming. People say I dont usually have much of a reaction, LOL! I actually have almost all the Java Blends in my house now and hoping to do a full line review in the next few weeks.
The only products I’ve had from Monster are their Zero Ultra, Reserve, Rehab, Super Dry, and Low Carb drinks. The only one I haven’t tried is the original one.
Thanks! I appreciate that. Some people try to point out that disliking them because other people made stupid mistakes isn't a solid arguement, but I let them know that i agree with them and mention it in the video as well. Luckliy enough, they spend most of their time fighting lawsuits with Bang so they dont have time to pick on smaller businesses anymore.
respect the difference of opinion, and strongly agree about the undeserved bad reputation energy drinks receive due to unwise consumption on the part of some individuals. energy drinks aren't dangerous if you use them responsibly! that being said, my go-to energy drink is monstery zero ultra in the white can. i really love it, honestly
Glad you liked the video! Yeah, that Monster White is a favorite of many. Im more of a fruity guy so I was a fan of their Peachy Keen and Mango Fiesta.
Yeah I haven’t really tried many energy drinks and I think that is because of Monster. The first time I tried original monster, I really didn’t like the after taste, which I now know is sucralose, and I thought that attribute was the same for all energy drinks. That’s why I always kind of shied away from them. But now that I know that not all energy drinks contain sucralose, I think I’ll be more open to trying some more of them.
Well, feel free to peruse my channel for something that may interest you and looking forward to hearing your experiences with them. I did a top 10 list if you are looking for some of my favorites.
I heard about that one as well. Its the ones you dont hear about that are sad. Poor smaller companies. But yeah, they'll sue anyone. Big companies, small companies, sports teams.... I mean, I bet they have an entire 10 story building dedicated just to suing people.
Have you tried V8 energy. Cheaper than most no of energy drinks. I work night shift. I use energy drinks help speed in production and stay alert. Found Monster gives a reverse effect and stopped with Reign. Energy then a crash. Spider orange was good but they took it off market. I have drank energy drinks for years since I work night shift. Thanks for letting us know mabout other energy drinks.
The ones with sugar, yes. The Ultras dont have much, if any, since its usually the sugar that causes crash. A small percentage of people get crash from caffeine, but in most cases sugar is the culprit.
@@reinab8168 Im not sure actually. I never bought it, just heard about it from all my UK viewers who just recently got it within the past few months. Im certain there are third party vendors than may sell it, but it tends to be expensive per can, as well as expensive to ship from overseas.
Monster is definitely one of the best energy drink companies, plus they sponsor my favorite driver Vaughn Gittin JR. And they make some pretty good drinks
The reason why I dislike Monster now is because they changed the formula and also because Monster has so much sugar, plus they use to much preservatives to make their energy drinks last long. I'd rather have Guayaki than Monster or Runa Guayusa.
Yeah, they like their sugar. And Preservatives are a necessary evil, so a lot of people have to use them. Nothing wrong with some healthy Yerba Mate though!
That one is a favorite of a LOT of people!!! Im so surprised at the amount of people who say its their favorite. I thought it was ok, but clearly I must be wrong when a majority of people are loving the white.
Thank you for pointing out these facts. Energy drinks are not the blame, human overconsumption and cheap ingredients are the blame. Monsters low price point comes at a cost.
You're welcome! Unfortunately, the media and general public find it easier to just blame the drinks and must have some secret conspiracy to try and take them out of business or just make us feel bad about drinking them. But, if you are educated on the topic, you'll always be the one making them look dumb. As soon as someone says "Energy drinks are bad for you..." I get goosebumps and take a deep breath and ask "why?" to see what comes out of their mouth....and then take them to school.
It being a 16 oz can after rockstar shouldn’t count considering every energy drink after that did the same thing monster was just the first one that caught on
It's definitely not a good reason and nothing I can overly defend. Everyone copies everyone. Its just how it is. If someone comes out with a good popular flavor, everyone is to follow suit. It happens.
I saw it in my fridge! LOL! I have it to review, but I was going to pick up the other Sugar Free Monster to compare it too. Apparently they dont have it anymore. This replaced it, so I think its just different packging. This is their 3rd or 4th sugar free monster
I actually saw one last weekend at 7-11 when I was looking for Bang Birthday Cake. I thought they were discontinued too but maybe they brought it back with a new formula or something? I was going to buy it but.... ....who am I kidding? No I wasnt, I hate Monster! 😂😂😂
CaffeineMan was sort of like 3 day old cake left out in the rain. Truly a let down at least for me. I share your interest and feel compelled to try the new flavors. May the caffeine gods be with you on this one.
I would like to see you try the monster import, i really like it but i cant pin down the flavor. Maybe a little vanilla? Im not sure, but i think maybe you would be able to tell. Keep up the good work👍👍
Behind you there is a «Lamborghini» energy drink. Do they still sell those?😯 I remember for 7-8 years back they had it in norway.. but it was just gone
Im uncertain if they still sell them. I got that over a year and a half ago from an energy box subscription company that went out of business. They had a tendency to put in unique drinks you couldnt normally get.
Oh yeah, Monster is the rated the 2nd ranked energy drink company...its not because they dont have good products. I just prefer different ones. Sweet tooth aye? Yeah, Mountain Dew will d that too you, but as you get older, just keep an eye on that sugar intake. Heck, take a look at it now. The research online is eye opening. American heart association recommends no more than 35grams a day, yet the average american has more than 75grams a day. And thats just the average american.
I don't care much for regular monster's flavor. However, I do like the orange Sunrise and the Rehab teas. Rehab tea actually helps me when I have a medium hangover from alcoholic drinks.
Monster and Red Bull are my main drivers for my work mornings, and I for sure respect your opinion to the fullest. The way you are with monster is how I am with chick-fli-a and how I don’t agree with some of their behind the scene decisions and I haven’t been there in months. Like you said, everyone has their preferences. Also I’ve been there since day one at around 100 subscribers 👊🏻 it’s cool you to see you get this far, keep it up
Awesome! Thanks for finding me when I started and staying for so long! I can't believe its been almost 10 months! As for companies and their policies, Im sure if you dig deep enough into any company youll find stuff you dont like. So, why focus on that and just enjoy the product....if its good.
Well....my request list is fairly long and I can only review one drink a week due to my busy schedule...so its tough getting to requests right away. THAT being said, Nos has been requested for a while and it is moving right up on the list, so I can confidently say before the end of summer. What, whens the end of summer? Ok, ok, before the end of summer. 👍
I'd agree with how they gave energy drinks a bad name. My mom and grandmother won't stop brining it up. I'll prove to them that energy drinks have similar caffeine content than a large McDonald's coffee. Actually less than a McDonald's coffee. It gets so annoying.
I really like the Monster Rehab tea lemonade (this one is pretty intense in flavor, almost like Nestea, but get a big 32 oz cup and throw one in with a ton of ice, water, and a fresh lemon wedge or even half a seedless lemon LOL, and it's GREAT)... As for the white dragon, I immediately noticed the taste of mangosteen - which was a pleasant surprise - but I have to be in the mood for it. But as for new[er than this video] flavors, Monster has given me LIFE, with the best energy drink I've ever had: the Rehab Strawberry Lemonade. This drink is dank and pretty damn flawless, for an energy drink with only 3 grams of sugar per can. It tastes exactly like the strawberry lemonade at Del Taco. My friend and I blend these with ice at work to make a killer slush. And the Gold (pineapple) is pretty dang good, too: I'm just not crazy about the carbonation level. Otherwise, I don't really drink sugar-filled energy drinks, so Monster isn't my thing. I can drink the zero sugar blue and the orange, from time to time... But that strawberry lemonade is DANK and still relatively hard to find, sadly!
Yeah, the strawberry lemonade is still fairly new so it hasnt even reached all the stores yet, which is crazy. And although this video was about how much I dislike Monster, I have been finding more stuff that I like.
@@CaffeineMan1 yeah I agree they do got a long way to go. As of lately I've been drinking Celsius (since my job sells them. I work at a hospital) Reign Storm and C4. Rockstar or Monster I'll have once in a while
Kind a latecomment but i respect you making honest video about subject, and atleast i agree with u espesially with that law suit thing. Its just disgusting that certain businesses mainbrands harash other not so well known brands. Cuz its peoples job and income..
Ive done some videos about Bang Vs Reign and I think Monster/Reign has been putting all their legal efforts into fighting them now, so hopefully not giving smaller businesses a hard time.
I like Monster because of the designs and the size. I love enjoy a half liter can instead of the 250ml of Redbull (and here in italy there aren't Rockstars or other half liter energy cans). But I hate that they use to sell a lot of different designs cans with the same flavour, saying that they are all different each other...
Have you found the new bang energy drink yet? Birthday Cake Bash... some people have found it in gas stations... looked at four stores around me today, no luck. TY
No, I have been looking everywhere as well. I actually ended up special ordering a case and it should be here early next week, just in case I still cant find it after another week, I dont want to have to wait and search. I knew about it when there was 1 review on youtube. Now, theres 12. Im falling behind! LOL!
I got one at a QuickTrip in Phoenix AZ this morning. It was hands down the worst Bang flavor I have tried. It tasted like someone tried making a birthday cake with too much Sweet n Low, blended it and put it in a can. And I love Bang. Such disappointment.
Oh no! Im sorry to hear that. From what Ive heard its been hit or miss, love or hate. Makes me wonder if Im going to regret buying a full case of it. Its not in stores yet near me so I had to order it online.
You can't really go by cans, as all of the cans have different caffeine amounts. According to the Mayo Clinic and many other medical websites, halthy adults over 18 years old should not consume any more than 400mgs per day. If you are interested in learning more about energy drinks, I did a 3 part series on "Are Energy Drink Bad for You?"

I really really love Ultra Black and Ultra Red, but I think my enjoyment of those two particular flavors and not drinking many of the other ones on a regular basis has spared me from a more negative opinion maybe. I'm biased to all thing Black Cherry too, so some of the Punch flavors I love aswell. :) thanks for this great channel, I watch every video here in Sweden
They're the Number 2 energy company for a reason! They do have some good drinks and with the mass amount they produce, everyone can find something they like.... then hope its not discontinued.
@@pyroclan5546 But, I highly recommend you take your favorite Monster flavor and see what others companies have in comparison to it and you may find something else you like. I love exposing people to new drinks.
@@pyroclan5546 Not exactly. I mean, I think it tastes like it has a little bit of apple in it so anything with a light apple flavor, if you like apple. Bang Apple? Merica Apple. Red Bull Pear?
Have you never heard anyone say that before? I hate brusssel sprouts!!! Well...well.... hate is kind of a strong word. I dislike brussel sprouts. I hate bologna!! Well...well.... hate is kind of a strong word. I dislike bologna. I hate vegan food!!! Well...well.... hate is kind of a strong word. I dislike vegan food. I hate horror movies!!!

@@CollectorKyle a whole 5 months later lmao
I love monster because you get value for your money , red bull is same price for half the size
Funny.... I quote that in my video. Rockstar made the 16oz can advertising twice the size, same price, and monster stole it (borrowed it, whatever) Dont tell me you're stealing things like Monster does! They're brainwashing everyone! 😂
Just get a venom
Red Bull tastes like crap anyway
@LazerCherg ye taurin
So what’s the best
People say Monster is extremely sweet... i think Red Bull and Rockstar are the sweetest
Well, by sugar content alone, Rockstar has the highest sugar content out of the three, then Monster and then Red Bull. Monster also uses sucralose as an extra sweetener, making it even sweeter. But, we all have different tastes, and they are all fairly close, so theyre all pretty sweet. 👍
@CaffineMan yeah I haven’t really tried many energy drinks and I think that is because of Monster. The first time I tried original monster, I really didn’t like the after taste, which I now know is sucralose, and I thought that attribute was the same for all energy drinks and that’s why I always kind of shied away from them.
Tbh Red Bull tastes like a watered down version of monster
Solid video. I understand your dislike about the business practices of Monster energy drinks. On the flip side, there are few flavors that I enjoy from Monster that simply are not found in our brands of energy drinks. The main one is the Ultra Sunrise drink that has a strong orange-like flavor. It is very easy to find a flavor and I tend to purchase it often. Other drinks are more of a hunting season for any certain flavor or brand. At times I don't have the time or energy to go around town search for various drinks. Your reviews and opinions are well taken and it is why I keep coming back to view your videos. Entertaining, informative, and unique formate to share all things caffeine. Perfect for these products. Thank you for your hard work, time, and energy you place into these videos. Cheers !! FYI, I finally found Fresa Rose Bang drink. It was good but way too sweet for my taste.
Thanks for the long, in-depth, complimentary comment!!! Very much appreciated! Im glad I can provide you with good information in a non-boring way!
Now.... lets see how long before the hate comments come through. Im shocked there havent been any yet.
Robert Theodore Garcia, i completely agree with everything you say! I love monster for their product but their business practices I’m not very fond of. I love the monster rehab, java, and the juice line. I have not yet tried the ultra series but that is the next drink I’d like to try. I really liked what you said about “there are few flavors that I enjoy from monster that simply are not found in other brands of energy drinks”.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I actually like Monster definitely the Monster Ultra is my go to drink they was first company got me back into energy drinks
I know a lot of people love Monster and I don't have much bad to say about the Ultras. Im happy that they realized they had to expand out to sugar free energy drinks and they did a decent job with some of them. I mean, they are the 2nd ranked energy drink company, for good reason. I just prefer others.
The ultra line is decent but in my opinion they seem to have a aftertaste but once you get used to it there not bad
Which ultra flavor? Mines the ultra white (note ive never had ultra black, red, or blue)
@@Dcn8r22 my favourites are red it has a nice berry flavor and white.Blue barely has flavor and it irritates my throat idk.Black/blue is good for those who like original monster flavor but its too sweet but i dont like it.
@@CaffeineMan1 monster ultra paradise is very good
If you listen quietly you can hear an army of Kyle's marching to his house.
Thank goodness they don't know where I live
Your points at around 5:30 about how people’s bad decisions are the problem is completely true. Love that.
Energy drinks have the amount you should drink on them. They just don’t read labels. Smh.
Thanks!
Monster, is the Disney, of energy drink companies.
😂😂😂
Bryan M not Red Bull ?
@@danieldevine5347 i think Redbull is bellow Monster

re-reads title of the video
Blaming energy drinks for someone drinking too many is like saying video games make people violent
Agreed! I said it in several of my other videos that energy drinks dont kill people. People kill people. In my How Much Caffeine is Too Much Caffeine video, I give numerous cases where people were hospitalized or even died from energy drinks, but it wasnt the energy drinks fault, it was the people who over consumed them. One of my favorite examples is when a drunk driver hits someone. Do they blame the beer company? No. Its the person. So why do the energy drinks get the blame for a persons poor judgement. its not right.
Drinking a monster while watching this - and man i love that battery acid type flavor.
although I think monsters are super good tasting - I can see where you are coming from. I remember you mentioned in one of your videos you don't like a lot of carbonation, and monster has a ton of carbonation. And the battery acid type taste might be something a lot of people dislike. Great video!
It always humors me when non energy drink consumers say redbull has more caffeine than monster or -insert drink here-, when redbull caffeine count is super low. Basically to every non energy drink consumer, redbull has the highest ammount of caffeine ever.
Oh yeah, high carbonation and usually high sugar. BUT they do have a lot of drinks and the more that Ive tried since Ive had my channel, the more Ive found that have been pretty good. As for caffeine, both companies usually have the standard energy drink amount of 10mgs per ounce. The Monster is a 16oz can at 160mgs. The mini 8oz red bull is 80 mgs and their 16oz red bull is 160.
My favorite Monster was the M80. Tasted like a great pineapple drink. Sad they don't make it anymore
I know. Monster reminds me of Mountain Dew in the fact that they release soooooo many new drinks, that they can't possibly keep them all on the shelves so some need to be discontinued. Unfortunately, even though they may sell a LOT of them, if its not the most popular flavor, they end up discontinuing it and make a LOT of people angry (or sad) about it.
They still produce it as 'Ripper', I don't think it's in US but plenty countries in Europe have this, it's the same flavor just less juice (they went from 80% to 50% then to 30% and it's now at 20%)
Honestly all your points are valid. I still personally like Monster because I love sweet drinks, and also because in my country (Poland) not many big brands are availible. Red Bull is half the size for a higher price, and in Poland where there's a strong mentality of getting the most value for your money, it's simply better to get 2 times the size for a lower price while still getting a known brand. Obviously there are local brand cheap energy drinks here, but most of them taste bad and even if you find a good taste, it usually feels watered down, as if it was half the intended drink and half water to save the price. We used to have Rockstar which I liked very much, but for some reason I can't find it anywhere these days. For all these reasons, Monster is the go-to international energy drink brand in Poland. We also have 2 fairly big local brands - Tiger and Black. Some of them are good, but some flavors suffer from the problems that I mentioned earlier. I wish we had more choice, maybe one day other brands will expand enough to reach Poland.
Well, Monster is the 2nd largest energy drink company for a reason. Millions of people love it and they make a billion dollars selling it, so it definitely has to be good. Ive even done some additional reviews after this video where I have been finding more Monsters that I actually like.
I absolutely love this video. My mom and dad are always complaining when I have an energy drink ( even though I’m 29 and don’t live with them lol) and it gets old. They blame the energy drink instead of the people over consuming and I love the drunk driver/ Budweiser analogy. 👌
Awesome! Glad you liked it and hopefully I have you some ammunition for your next energy drink debate with them. Unfortunately, if they are anything like my parents, it will just go in one ear and out the other. How can WE know more than THEM? They're the parents. They know whats best for us. 😂
If they like RUclips, you should show them some of my videos on the healthier energy drinks. It might make them feel better about them if they know more....instead of listening to the media.
Hey I’m glad I found your channel I’m a huge energy drinker so it’s always good to hear opinions about different energy drinks. Your reviews are great, very informative and I like seeing all the cans in the background
Thanks so much! Glad you like it!
One of my co-workers told me he was addicted to monster and once had to go to the hospital cause he drank too many in one day.
Yep, that can happen. Everything in moderation.
How many cans is too much?
@@edxander7169 you can die from 44 monster
@@Trulygodly 44 cans of monster in a day? What the hell lmao
@@Trulygodly or did u mean a different brand/model of monster? 😅
I've came across your channel and found this video whilst researching the history of the monster brand. great video!! I've learned a lot about them. I've recently started trying out monster drinks, especially their juiced flavours like mango loco, pipeline and nitro superdry, they're really nice.
But They're all full sugar monster drinks, how many cans per week would you recommend? Is having 1 or 2 cans a sensible approach?
Welcome to the channel!!! I hope you enjoy all that my channel has to offer!!!
To answer your question I first have to preface it with "im not a doctor', lol... but its true, Im not. Its really a matter of how your body reacts to sugar. I started having less and less sugar in my drinks about 3 years ago just because I wanted to be healthier. There are some people that can burn off sugar faster and others who don't. Its a matter of how sedentary you are. Even some people that are very active like to have zero sugar energy drinks. Do I, personally, think 1 or 2 cans of sugared energy drinks are ok? I do... although I do recommend looking into some of their Ultra flavors or even other companies like Ghost, GOrilla Mind, C4 and lots of other companies that are sugar-free. Currently, there are more sugar-free energy drinks on the market than sugared. That being said, there are some people that just hate the taste of sugar-free drinks and that is perfectly fine. 1 or 2 a week shouldn't break the bank. I mean, look at how many people drink soda and those are heavy in sugar, and should be drank sparingly as well. Hope it helps.
Good analogy with Budweiser. Appreciate your work!
Thanks! I mean, it makes sense to me, but I dont understand why nobody else hasnt said it. Maybe I should become an energy drink lawyer.... one of the good ones though, not the suing ones. "Your Honor! Would we not sue budweiser for the poor decisions of others? Why in fact would we then sue Monster?"
CASE DISMISSED!
Another victory for CaffeineMan, Lawyer by day, CaffeineAddict by night (and day)
Monster Ultras are a sure favourite of mine. I find that so many energy drinks have the same sour and strange aftertaste. I've yet to try a wider selection of other energy drinks though, so I''ll be sure to check some out!
So many other energy drinks to try out as well. Dont get me wrong, I do like some of the Monster Ultras, but be sure to browse through my page because ive gone over hundreds of energy drinks with hundreds more to go. Thanks for watching!
I was a huge fan of Monster original back in the 2000 era. My buddy liked Red Bull. Different strokes. I've been curious about your own reasons since I discovered your channel. Thanks for the insight!
I knew Id hinted at it for a while and figured now was the best time to get it out there. Now I dont have to hint anymore. Glad you liked it!
Intros too long man. Love the videos but always find my self skipping the first 3-5 minutes. Other than that awesome work!
In more than 95% of my videos, I try to use time stamps so people can go to whereever they want to go, in case there werent timestamps in this video. This was just one big long complaint. In general I will go over company info, ingredients and the taste test. I put timestamps in the description box and I have even started putting them into a pinned comment for those using mobile devices. I try to trim down the videos where I can, but they all do tend to be a bit long...which is why I use timestamps. Hopefully you find them useful! Thanks for watching! Appreciate it!
if his intros are too long skip them. its that simple lmao.
M65 he just said he does lmao
You should do either a blindfolded taste test or a tier list of all energy drinks
Tier List of all the drinks is on my to-do list, but Im going to wait until Ive had a few more on my request list that I havent tried yet so that I have an accurate representation.
CaffeineMan you have a request list??? Whats on it? Or am I gonna have to wait and find out 😂
@@romanm90 It started off as an imaginary short list in my head....but people just kept requesting stuff, so I had to make an actual written list on a post-it note.... Then, people kept requesting before I could make the video, I had to start a list on my computer....so, yeah, I have a list!!! I dont necessarily ask for requests, like a DJ or something. People just make requests. Sometimes people DEMAND requests and those usually dont happen, but the nice ones get put on the list. I don't discuss the details of the list though, because sometimes the list gets shifted around a touch here and there. But, I do make sure I try to get to everything on this list. I think, the longest anyone has waited has been 12 weeks...and thats just because I can only do 1 video a week. Currently on my request list, there are 21 energy drinks. And thats just the request list. I have my own personal list of 5 energy drinks, plus the several caffeinated Products and Informative videos I need to do.... so, guess what....?
Im not going anywhere. You should hang around and see what I got to offer. LOL!!!
A little off topic. They make a 5 hr energy shot size, bang shot. Got it at walmart at the register. Gotta review it!!!
They do the only flavours we have is the grape and cotton candy so far
Ive seen Rainbow unicorn an blue rez.
Bang actually makes several of the energy shots and its on my list to review. Energy shots havent really performed well on my channel so Ive been holding off while I try to make a dent in these energy drink requests...as well as the occasional product and informative video. From what Ive seen at Vitamin shope they have it in Bangster BErry, Rainbow Unicorn, PEach and Purple Haze. Im sure other places have different ones. I could probably look it up on the Bang website....but... Im busy replying to comments 😂
Bonus video? oh yeah
TOM!!!! Where you been!!!! Good to see you back! 👍
CaffeineMan Ahh lots of summer work and all, been watching the videos just not commenting, good to be back though!
Work! Ugh.... I know the feeling. I never doubted you stopped watching but was used to seeing you being first. First or not, glad you're still doing well!
CaffeineMan Haha yup, did miss being in the comments, like i said super glad to be back, ill make an effort to comment on every video again! Might be a little late, but should still be able to.
No worries! Don't feel obligated. Its perfectly fine to lurk if you need to lurk. I'll know in my heart that you are there! And if you do comment late, late is better than never.....but never is ok too. Go with your gut. 👍😀
disagree with you on the monster flavor but i didnt realize how bad their business practices are. thanks for the info my man. love the videos as always
Glad you liked the video and feel free to disagree with me anytime you like. I dont mind! 😀
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I love how you are really good at this +sub
The monster purple hydro HAS to be the best monster. It tastes exactly like grape Gatorade. if you haven't had it before I STRONGLY recommend it
Should taste more like Powerade, since Monster is also associated with them. I mention it in my review. But, yes, Gatorade and Powerade are fairly similar!

Hey CaffeineMan! Just wanted leave a comment saying that even though i dont really use caffeine products, i still love your channel because of the informative nature of your videos. I hope you soon reach that big 10K mark. Keep on keeping on!
Thanks! I really appreciate that! Im glad Im able to help keep people informed on these topics and although I do a lot of energy drink reviews, I still like to get other caffeine related content out there as well. The big 10K is slow to arrive. Im not complaining though!!! I only say that because I was just getting 50-100 subscribers a day so, when I hit 9000, I thought it was inevitable...but then it slowed down to 15-20 a day. LOL!!! Some would say there was an algorithm change, but I just blame summertime. Thanks for watching!!!
Video starts at 3:00
Yeah, I mentioned my dad only drinks one monster flavor which is the ultra white, but since this quarantine is making me bored and I'm taste testing everything by drinking 1 drink a day, so far in Monster, ive had all the ultras (excluding black, red, and blue) all the hydros (excluding mean green, manic melon, purple passion, and blue ice) and just today the original that started it all.
Sounds like an interested way to test them all out! Gotta get that Manic Melon Hydro though! LOL
A main issue I have with many Monsters (the OG as an example) is that i hate the taste of the apple juice they have. A common suggestion to people that don’t like the “Monster” taste is to not get one with Apple juice in it.
Also you’re right. I love the Aussie Lemonade one but the sugar amount (46g to be exact) makes it a hard sell for me to consume often. I often choose the Rehab ones instead, and I avoid almost every one that uses the apple juice.
I understand the points made here, the only thing I can comment on is that they take very good care of their athletes with pay.
Well, they made over a Billion dollars this year, so Im sure they support the athletes that help them bring in even more revenue. Gotta spend money to make money! Thanks for watching! 👍
Yay! Caffeine man! Almost hitting the 10k milestone, glad I could be here to witness! Keep up the great content : - )
Thanks! Glad you were here too! Appreciate the support and I'll keep making the content if you keep watching it!!!
Bravo. Thanks for the honest take
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Yay!!! Another video!!!! Great video too, you made alot of valid points!
YAY!!!
Hopefully Yay!
So many Monster lovers out there, I wasnt expected so many Yay's
😂
The only monster I buy is monster rehab peach. Yep
In that case... I might have to revisit it. Its been a while.
mike roberts, I’m a huge fan of another drink called Peace Tea. They have a Georgia peach flavor and it sooooo good, the peach rehab kinda reminds of the flavor. ( not just because it’s peach flavored)
I actually tried that Peace Tea before I started my channel and really liked it. I might have to look for it again.
Yeah man peace tea is pretty good, what if they made an “energized” version?🤔
The peach is good and no bubbles
I used to drink monster, but i found it didnt have an effect on me. (i work night shifts). It just made me more tired in a way. I switched to reign, keeps me awake the whole night
The classic Monster taste is pretty good, but for some reason it's even better in their Absolutely Zero version of the drink. It's the same taste - or even better - without the sugar. Definitely my favorite energy drink but I'm not sure they make it anymore.
I think Ive seen it recently? If it came off the market they may have been doing it to repackage it maybe? They're been redoing the packaging/graphics on a lot of their drinks lately.
Valid points i cannot argue against that, I dont drink that much energy drink but i got a couple can for my finals, and I guess I still have kid taste
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I am a fan of monster and i agree with this video for some reason
Its all the subliminal messages I put in it. Trying my best to convert all the Monster lovers.
😂
Some of the things are easily agreeable and some of the points are very weak...but overall, I think I got my point across and Ive done tons of reviews on them since this video.... and actually found some I like!!! 😱😱😱
Thanks for your opinion on this. I wasn’t ever a huge monster fan either. I mean, their ultras aren’t terrible but some other products are not of my forté. But thanks for the video Man!
YEah, I felt it was time to get it out the way so people wouldnt keep asking me what I was alluding too or asking why I said what I said. So, now its out there. Glad you liked the video! Thanks!
If you have tasted that many Monsters and haven't found anything you like. Then you are not human.
Actually, this video was a bit older and still somewhat new to reviewing the drinks. As Ive reviewed more, Ive found several that I liked. Monster Maxx Mango, Monster Ultra Fiesta, Ultra Watermelon, Ultra Peach and several others. Feel free to keep watching my videos to find out more about the Monsters Ive tried. 👍👍👍
34 minutes is too long I agree, yay bonus video day after my birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! (belated).
Hope you found some Bang Birthday Cake for it!
You should make a video about the ECA stack.
after this savage vid the first thing to do on Monday is selling Monster stock if you can before the crash!
😂😂😂
I don't think my 10,000 subsci....ALMOST 10K...almost... subscriber count, will have that big of an effect on their stock. And if it does...Im sure a lawsuit will be flying my way next.
IM WITH YOU !! Monster taste really sweet ;p
and doesn't give me much energy, I always go for BANG, rockstar 300mg+, or good old black coffee :) great video :)
Thanks! Glad you liked the video!👍
what? monster is the one that gives me more energy..at the point yeah i feel sometimes about to have a hearth attack.
I get your point regarding the beer-drink driving comparison.
Journalists/politicians hit the energy drink companies because
- Energy drinks are relatively new, when you consider alcohol has been around for hundreds of years
- Often its 13-25 year old drinking energy drinks. Their concern for the "impressionable" is virtue signalling at its finest
- Alcohol spans all classes, whereas energy drinks more likely to be consumed by lower-working class people compared to middle-higher class people. Journalists/politicians and older people in general are so far removed from energy drinks they simply hate their foreignness and unfamiliarity.
Its a great shame for all of us who consume responsibly as part of a balanced diet/exercise - having to accept the stigma of people looking down on our hobbies!
I can agree with a lot of what you said, although I do debate a little bit on what classes drink them. There are plenty of business people and middle class people that use them to get them through work. There are lots of blue collar workers that use them, as well as (to some people surprise) the medical community. Doctors and Nurses work long hours and use these drinks. They are educated and know which ones are good for you and which ones are bad for you. Also, people that workout (being sterotypical here, not ALL workout people) pay to go to the gym and usually buy expensive foods (organic) as well as supplements to help build their body. Those are all costs that not all lower working class people can afford. Just generalizing though. So, Im fairly confident class isnt the issue.... but age certainly is. And luckily enough we are jumping on the healthier energy drink bandwagon now to help people change their minds. If people continue to share my videos and get the word out on CaffeineMan, we can change the opinions of thousands! Millions!!! Ok, caffeine kicking in. More comments to respond too. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!!
Bro probably never sleeps because of the amount of energy drinks he’s consumed
What is this "sleep" thing you speak of???
Good video. 👍😊
Thanks! Appreciate it!
I love monster because it tastes so flipping good. And I'm speaking for a lot of their flavors
Yeah, I didn’t expect everyone to agree with me since it is the second ranked energy drink company out there 😂
And I’ve been trying more of their flavors and been impressed with a few👍🏻
@@CaffeineMan1 favorite flavor Monster series is Java and favorite Java flavor is Irish blend. I'm new to the channel and I get a kick out of watching people's reaction to trying new flavors
@@skyayala9306 Welcome to the channel!!! My reactions may be a bit underwhelming. People say I dont usually have much of a reaction, LOL! I actually have almost all the Java Blends in my house now and hoping to do a full line review in the next few weeks.

No need to try that one... TRUST ME!!! 😂
I like your honest opinion about Monster Energy
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
I dropped monster ever since I found bang. Ima bangaholic.
Nice! Thats what I like to hear!
Bangaholic.... so many jokes. So little time. 😂
i love monster but i totally agree with all of this guys arguments
Thanks! I appreciate that. Some people try to point out that disliking them because other people made stupid mistakes isn't a solid arguement, but I let them know that i agree with them and mention it in the video as well. Luckliy enough, they spend most of their time fighting lawsuits with Bang so they dont have time to pick on smaller businesses anymore.
I cant sleep after drinking a whole can of monster punch. 😭😭😭
respect the difference of opinion, and strongly agree about the undeserved bad reputation energy drinks receive due to unwise consumption on the part of some individuals. energy drinks aren't dangerous if you use them responsibly!
that being said, my go-to energy drink is monstery zero ultra in the white can. i really love it, honestly
Glad you liked the video! Yeah, that Monster White is a favorite of many. Im more of a fruity guy so I was a fan of their Peachy Keen and Mango Fiesta.
Thanks for the information.
No problem!
I like how they named the company after a Skillet song XD.
You’re joking right?
Yeah I haven’t really tried many energy drinks and I think that is because of Monster. The first time I tried original monster, I really didn’t like the after taste, which I now know is sucralose, and I thought that attribute was the same for all energy drinks. That’s why I always kind of shied away from them. But now that I know that not all energy drinks contain sucralose, I think I’ll be more open to trying some more of them.
Well, feel free to peruse my channel for something that may interest you and looking forward to hearing your experiences with them. I did a top 10 list if you are looking for some of my favorites.
Most recently monster is trying to sue the Toronto raptors over their logo. Crazy to me.
I heard about that one as well. Its the ones you dont hear about that are sad. Poor smaller companies. But yeah, they'll sue anyone. Big companies, small companies, sports teams.... I mean, I bet they have an entire 10 story building dedicated just to suing people.
Have you tried V8 energy. Cheaper than most no of energy drinks. I work night shift. I use energy drinks help speed in production and stay alert. Found Monster gives a reverse effect and stopped with Reign. Energy then a crash. Spider orange was good but they took it off market. I have drank energy drinks for years since I work night shift. Thanks for letting us know mabout other energy drinks.
Here you go!

im watching this while drinking a monster...
My videos are usually best watched with an energy drink of your choice. 👍
Out of the drinks. I think monsters have the hardest crash.
The ones with sugar, yes. The Ultras dont have much, if any, since its usually the sugar that causes crash. A small percentage of people get crash from caffeine, but in most cases sugar is the culprit.
monster import, it's awesome. the regular, eh it's alright. If Rip It isn't available I'll buy the monster import.
I definitely like Rip-It over most of the Monster products.
He sounds like fantastic mr fox

The thing is that Monster is literally Monster.
RRROOOAARRRRR!!!!! 😂
Monster mule is a unique flavor but other than that I do not prefer monster.
I liked the monster Mule except for all the sugar. Non-US versions of the Mule have less sugar, so Im not sure why they put so much in ours.
@@CaffeineMan1 where can I order the uk version?
@@reinab8168 Im not sure actually. I never bought it, just heard about it from all my UK viewers who just recently got it within the past few months. Im certain there are third party vendors than may sell it, but it tends to be expensive per can, as well as expensive to ship from overseas.
Monster is definitely one of the best energy drink companies, plus they sponsor my favorite driver Vaughn Gittin JR. And they make some pretty good drinks
They've been coming out with some really good ones lately!
The reason why I dislike Monster now is because they changed the formula and also because Monster has so much sugar, plus they use to much preservatives to make their energy drinks last long. I'd rather have Guayaki than Monster or Runa Guayusa.
Yeah, they like their sugar. And Preservatives are a necessary evil, so a lot of people have to use them. Nothing wrong with some healthy Yerba Mate though!
is red bull bad for you?
Pretty much only the high amount of sugar.
Heres a video on the topic:
ruclips.net/video/h2c2OCR_lWw/видео.html
I like the zero sugar ultra white. It’s my signature go-to monster.
That one is a favorite of a LOT of people!!! Im so surprised at the amount of people who say its their favorite. I thought it was ok, but clearly I must be wrong when a majority of people are loving the white.
Thank you for pointing out these facts. Energy drinks are not the blame, human overconsumption and cheap ingredients are the blame. Monsters low price point comes at a cost.
You're welcome!
Unfortunately, the media and general public find it easier to just blame the drinks and must have some secret conspiracy to try and take them out of business or just make us feel bad about drinking them. But, if you are educated on the topic, you'll always be the one making them look dumb. As soon as someone says "Energy drinks are bad for you..." I get goosebumps and take a deep breath and ask "why?" to see what comes out of their mouth....and then take them to school.
Shout out to Monster Energy It's a M.? Drink Responsible K.
It being a 16 oz can after rockstar shouldn’t count considering every energy drink after that did the same thing monster was just the first one that caught on
It's definitely not a good reason and nothing I can overly defend. Everyone copies everyone. Its just how it is. If someone comes out with a good popular flavor, everyone is to follow suit. It happens.
There is a zero sugar monster in the original flavor out now, I seen it at Walmart.
I saw it in my fridge!
LOL!
I have it to review, but I was going to pick up the other Sugar Free Monster to compare it too. Apparently they dont have it anymore. This replaced it, so I think its just different packging. This is their 3rd or 4th sugar free monster
Back in the day, Monster BFC was dope haha. Try and get one if you can. Discontinued tho. But, I think ebay might have some
I actually saw one last weekend at 7-11 when I was looking for Bang Birthday Cake. I thought they were discontinued too but maybe they brought it back with a new formula or something? I was going to buy it but....
....who am I kidding?
No I wasnt, I hate Monster! 😂😂😂
CaffeineMan lol nice!
I would take that over that birthday one. It was not good at all
Ive heard it was hit or miss. Mine should be in early this week. I wassss looking forward to it, but now...
CaffeineMan was sort of like 3 day old cake left out in the rain. Truly a let down at least for me. I share your interest and feel compelled to try the new flavors. May the caffeine gods be with you on this one.
Wow, ok.... well... we'll see how it goes. I ended up ordering a case since I couldnt find it anywhere and should be here this week.
I would like to see you try the monster import, i really like it but i cant pin down the flavor. Maybe a little vanilla? Im not sure, but i think maybe you would be able to tell. Keep up the good work👍👍
I can add it to my list. It might be a while before I get to it though as the list keeps growing. Thanks for watching!
@@CaffeineMan1 Thank you!
Behind you there is a «Lamborghini» energy drink. Do they still sell those?😯 I remember for 7-8 years back they had it in norway.. but it was just gone
Im uncertain if they still sell them. I got that over a year and a half ago from an energy box subscription company that went out of business. They had a tendency to put in unique drinks you couldnt normally get.
I'm quite the opposite Monster one of my fav, but my most fav is MTN dew I got a major sweet tooth!
Oh yeah, Monster is the rated the 2nd ranked energy drink company...its not because they dont have good products. I just prefer different ones. Sweet tooth aye? Yeah, Mountain Dew will d that too you, but as you get older, just keep an eye on that sugar intake. Heck, take a look at it now. The research online is eye opening. American heart association recommends no more than 35grams a day, yet the average american has more than 75grams a day. And thats just the average american.
I don't care much for regular monster's flavor. However, I do like the orange Sunrise and the Rehab teas. Rehab tea actually helps me when I have a medium hangover from alcoholic drinks.
I like some of the newer rehab teas and need to review more of them. The antioxidants probably help with the hangover.
@@CaffeineMan1 oh yeah antioxidants are helpful for sure
gross orange sunrise is just gross, the rehab tea is good however.
i drink one monster per day , my question is do i finish fat and ugly because of that?
Monster and Red Bull are my main drivers for my work mornings, and I for sure respect your opinion to the fullest. The way you are with monster is how I am with chick-fli-a and how I don’t agree with some of their behind the scene decisions and I haven’t been there in months. Like you said, everyone has their preferences.
Also I’ve been there since day one at around 100 subscribers 👊🏻 it’s cool you to see you get this far, keep it up
Awesome! Thanks for finding me when I started and staying for so long! I can't believe its been almost 10 months! As for companies and their policies, Im sure if you dig deep enough into any company youll find stuff you dont like. So, why focus on that and just enjoy the product....if its good.
CaffeineMan, when will you review the wonderful NOS line! Very underrated in my book, Love the Nos sonic sour!
Well....my request list is fairly long and I can only review one drink a week due to my busy schedule...so its tough getting to requests right away. THAT being said, Nos has been requested for a while and it is moving right up on the list, so I can confidently say before the end of summer.
What, whens the end of summer?
Ok, ok, before the end of summer.
👍
I'd agree with how they gave energy drinks a bad name. My mom and grandmother won't stop brining it up. I'll prove to them that energy drinks have similar caffeine content than a large McDonald's coffee. Actually less than a McDonald's coffee. It gets so annoying.
I really like the Monster Rehab tea lemonade (this one is pretty intense in flavor, almost like Nestea, but get a big 32 oz cup and throw one in with a ton of ice, water, and a fresh lemon wedge or even half a seedless lemon LOL, and it's GREAT)... As for the white dragon, I immediately noticed the taste of mangosteen - which was a pleasant surprise - but I have to be in the mood for it.
But as for new[er than this video] flavors, Monster has given me LIFE, with the best energy drink I've ever had: the Rehab Strawberry Lemonade. This drink is dank and pretty damn flawless, for an energy drink with only 3 grams of sugar per can. It tastes exactly like the strawberry lemonade at Del Taco. My friend and I blend these with ice at work to make a killer slush. And the Gold (pineapple) is pretty dang good, too: I'm just not crazy about the carbonation level. Otherwise, I don't really drink sugar-filled energy drinks, so Monster isn't my thing. I can drink the zero sugar blue and the orange, from time to time... But that strawberry lemonade is DANK and still relatively hard to find, sadly!
Yeah, the strawberry lemonade is still fairly new so it hasnt even reached all the stores yet, which is crazy. And although this video was about how much I dislike Monster, I have been finding more stuff that I like.
what's the cleanest feeling caffeine-based drink that you've ever tried (Not feeling cracked out after drinking it)?
I always have a soft spot for both Rockstar and Monster regardless that people throw energy drinks under the bus.
I think they're become a little bit more acceptable over the past few years but theres still a long way to go.
@@CaffeineMan1 yeah I agree they do got a long way to go. As of lately I've been drinking Celsius (since my job sells them. I work at a hospital) Reign Storm and C4. Rockstar or Monster I'll have once in a while
Really wish I could like this video more than once
You can always dislike it. Wait a minute, try to forget that you disliked it, then like it again. See if it feels the same as the first time.
Kind a latecomment but i respect you making honest video about subject, and atleast i agree with u espesially with that law suit thing. Its just disgusting that certain businesses mainbrands harash other not so well known brands. Cuz its peoples job and income..
Ive done some videos about Bang Vs Reign and I think Monster/Reign has been putting all their legal efforts into fighting them now, so hopefully not giving smaller businesses a hard time.
I like Monster because of the designs and the size. I love enjoy a half liter can instead of the 250ml of Redbull (and here in italy there aren't Rockstars or other half liter energy cans). But I hate that they use to sell a lot of different designs cans with the same flavour, saying that they are all different each other...
Hopefully you'll have some additional flavors soon too. Monster is supposed to be expanding their international energy drink lines this year as well.
Oh thank you I didn't know that, I can't wait!!
I MUST CONFESS THAT I FEEL LIKE A MONSTER
I love that song from Skillet
There are a lot of Monster songs out there!
i love monster but i think i may be addicted which could end up being a problem but its fine because i love them
Sugar free or regular? They have a lot of good sugar free ones....well... maybe not a lot, but a bunch 😂
@@CaffeineMan1 i like both, i think my favorite flavors are ultra violet, pipeline punch and good old original
I’ve never had a monster before because I’m scared what it will do to my heart so what should I do
Drink it, you’ll be fine.
Shotgun 4 of them
Have you found the new bang energy drink yet? Birthday Cake Bash... some people have found it in gas stations... looked at four stores around me today, no luck. TY
No, I have been looking everywhere as well. I actually ended up special ordering a case and it should be here early next week, just in case I still cant find it after another week, I dont want to have to wait and search. I knew about it when there was 1 review on youtube. Now, theres 12. Im falling behind! LOL!
I got one at a QuickTrip in Phoenix AZ this morning. It was hands down the worst Bang flavor I have tried. It tasted like someone tried making a birthday cake with too much Sweet n Low, blended it and put it in a can. And I love Bang. Such disappointment.
Oh no! Im sorry to hear that. From what Ive heard its been hit or miss, love or hate. Makes me wonder if Im going to regret buying a full case of it. Its not in stores yet near me so I had to order it online.
Hey, how many cans is too much to consumes in a day? On an average?
You can't really go by cans, as all of the cans have different caffeine amounts. According to the Mayo Clinic and many other medical websites, halthy adults over 18 years old should not consume any more than 400mgs per day.

I really really love Ultra Black and Ultra Red, but I think my enjoyment of those two particular flavors and not drinking many of the other ones on a regular basis has spared me from a more negative opinion maybe. I'm biased to all thing Black Cherry too, so some of the Punch flavors I love aswell. :) thanks for this great channel, I watch every video here in Sweden
Thanks! Glad you like the channel! Thanks for the support 👍🏻
I just had my first my energy drink
I agree about the company things you said but monster is definetly my favourite company and the one that got me bsck into energy drinks
They're the Number 2 energy company for a reason! They do have some good drinks and with the mass amount they produce, everyone can find something they like.... then hope its not discontinued.
CaffeineMan thats true
@@pyroclan5546 But, I highly recommend you take your favorite Monster flavor and see what others companies have in comparison to it and you may find something else you like. I love exposing people to new drinks.
CaffeineMan yeah do you know any that taste like ultra paradise ?
@@pyroclan5546 Not exactly. I mean, I think it tastes like it has a little bit of apple in it so anything with a light apple flavor, if you like apple. Bang Apple? Merica Apple. Red Bull Pear?
You’re a good guy
Awwww, thanks!!! 👍
