I am personally quite fond of classic Red Bull.
The original is still better.
>classic
heh
I never drink energy drinks anymore only like 4 times a year. But the red monster is kinda tasty.
>>7105202
Redbull Cola was my all time favorite, hands down best energy but it was discontinued in the US because Americans are dumb. It had/had coca leaf in it which everyone here imagined is actual cocaine. It's still sold in the UK.
Monster tastes like shit but it has a good "wake me up" profile. Surprisingly their juices are really good though, you should try them, but personally I want my energy drinks to be carbonated. They have a ton of variety but only a handful are worth buying, and those are the xxx energy ones loaded with caffeine and everything else.
NOS is wayyy better, my personal general favorite, but stores don't always carry NOS whereas Monster is found everywhere.
Redbull Red, Blue and Silver are "meh" tier but the blue one taste alright. Caffeine is lacking. The formula just doesn't have that "pick me up". They are very gimmicky.
Redbull, the normal one I find lacking in taste and energy. To get very hyper I have to drink two small ones or the much larger one. I like the 20 oz cans and drink them entirely but I get more energetic if I drink a two monsters.
Starbucks energy drinks are very light, refreshing, but barely pack any punch and have 0 energy effect greater than a normal soda. I don't consider these actual energy drinks.
Now MIO energy is technically an energy drink and not carbonated. Although I like carbonated, MIO energy is an exception, that stuff is like candy and absolutely amazing. You can control how strong it is in taste and energy. The caffeine and energy profile in these are amazing, you can really feel it. The blue one is the BEST, the purple one second best, red one is shitty and I haven't tried the yellow one. They are hard to find sometimes. You could throw it into seltzer but normal water is better IMO. I choose this over NOS unless I'm feeling like I want carbonation.
Arizona has a 99 cent energy drink which would be my absolute favorite but finding those are like seeing a unicorn. Great taste, great energy.
the flavor is pretty unique.
i taste tart grapefruit, bubble gum, and a hint of medicinal bitterness.
There's a sucker born every minute.
>>7105234
I can't believe people drink Rockstar.
>>7105239
Some people like caffeine. Some people like the way energy drinks taste, they taste significantly different than any soda or juice and have a particular general underlying taste.
Guarana, taurine, b vitamins, green coffee extract, ginseng, and caffeine blended in various blends are not gimmicky. You don't like it, fine, no is forcing you to like it. But it isn't a "snake oil" as your "sucker" comment seems to imply.
Tropical Redbull is amazing. Just got it in Aus and I could drink it all day. Blueberry is next followed by regular. How people drink the Zero crap is beyond me.
I love Punched so terribly much.
One can of Rockstar Punched
1/2 cup of strawberries
1 kiwi
1 cup of blackberries
1 cup of raspberries
blend it together and make a god tier smoothie. Add Milk if you want to turn it into a semi ice cream
The fruit flavoured mothers
Although I buy Monster the most often (Probably once a fortnight)
Why the fuck are five hour energy shots so expensive. I'm no Jew by any means but 3.50 or so for a 50ml bottle is beyond my comprehension.
>>7105258
Because that's how much the market is willing to pay.
>>7105251
Holy fuck, this. My 7/11 stopped selling it and I've been having trouble finding them elsewhere.
>>7105202
Energy drinks don't really work for me. But if I had to pick one, I'd go for a Bull. Rockstars and Monsters make my teeth feel weird.
>>7105239
Please explain...dumbfuck
>>7105229
>It's still sold in the UK.
Afraid not.
>>7105202
>tfw when you see red bull girls
boner and 3 buck soda for free not bad
Thai Red Bull is the shit
Cost 20 pence (10 baht) a pop and is way stronger than its counterparts
I received a bunch of expired energy drinks really cheap and drank one very quickly. It made me feel quite ill and now I hate the smell and taste of any energy drink
Purdeys is the shit
>>7105202
>consuming energy drinks
Laziness man. Fuck. I work a 80hr drink without anything caffeinated.
buy a case of this every month
>>7105251
I fucking love this one. My local grocery store sells these in pallettes.
>>7105251

sounds like you need some caffeine
Have fun losing your teeth.
I too like red bull I just wish it were cheaper.

I've probably only had energy drinks twice this year but V is always my best friend.
You've never had a good energy drink until you've had Beaver Buzz. Blue is the best, they used to make a black one, it tasted phenomenal. Red is also pretty good, still way better than anything from the competition.
This is the only pussy I've had since 2011
HyDrive. I can get it $1.37 a bottle. The Honey Lemonade is phenomenal, same with the Mango Peach.
Doesn't make me feel like I'm drinking industrial chemicals either.
redline gets me through strategicon every year, i stay up for 2 days straight all twitchy and full of energy.
i only drink it 3x a year, but when i do it works and i get no crash.
>>7105362
i live in bumfuck nowhere and theirs like a double row of these at all gas stations.
usually 4 for $5
>>7107640
Funny, Monster and Rockstar here in Ontario are 2 for $5.
Oh man, remember cough syrup? Like, Cough syrup when you were a kid?
Let's make a soft drink that we can add to vodka to make an imitation cough syrup you can drink when you don't feel sick
>I'm that weird vegan that buys fresh energy juices from the vegan drink and food stand in town
>>7107596
You might like this, its a bit more expensive though.
second favorite after Punched
Havent had an energy drink since middle school, picked one of these up at work and its actually fucking great
>>7105229
We asked what you like to drink, not your fucking life story.
My liqueur store sells these for a$1.06 a can. I never stop moving.
>>7105251
Literally bought to cans rn at the gas station after seeing this and all the anons behind it. It's good and I hate all of rockstar's drinks. if you like this try red bull's tropical flavor (yellow can)
>>7105838
>>7106798
>I work a 80hr drink
You telling me you suck dick for 80 hours straight without anything caffeinated? Why and how are your shifts so long?
I would buy two cans of this shit and go riding in the woods on my dirtbike.
There used to be this cool little cove in my woods that had a little beach, I'd chill there on the sand and nurse a can of the shit. But they changed the fucking flavor to raspberry instead of cranberry and it tastes like fucking piss now.
>>7107869
>I'd chill there on the sand and nurse a can
You'd squeeze milk out of your nipples into a Monster Rehab can?
>>7105202
I've found this drink called Tornado at a local overstock store, from what I can tell it's from Switzerland.Tastes refreshing, like lemon-lime and a hint of mint, without being sweet or heavy, or having that chemical taste that almost all other energy drinks do.
They were 40 cents a bottle when I last saw them, I bought all they had and now I'm rationing them because I haven't seen them anywhere else.
>>7107585
I remember Furious Pete shotgunning 15 of these, I assumed they were some shitty 99 cent gas station brand
all rockstars are my favorite. but if you wanna get drunk these are the shit.
>>7105229
good post but i worry for your health
>>7109051
Furious Pete's a fucking animal, isn't he?
>>7105211
nah too sweet and no bubbles
Speed.

only in canada.
>>7105229

>>7109690
dude drinks WAY to many energy drinks
>>7107764
WANT
routine to drink two in the morning
>>7106512
my nigga, that syrupy taste grows on ya
>>7105229
Oh man you know your shit. Blue mio energy is THE BEST. I mix it with POWERade blue mixer shit because one or the other is always on sale at my local stores. Buy one get one. I'll stock up on one, then the other.
But at your level, you might do better from just using amphetamine. Look it up, plenty of modern scientists and mathematicians rely on it openly, or in private. It's a "smart drug" to them that allows them to be productive while burning out their brain's pleasure juices.
>>7105202
rockstar 0. raw caffeine and hate. I used to drink 2 a day in college.
>drinking energy drinks past the age of 18
surely nobody does this, right?
I remember drinking a can of redbull everyday that one time I was behind on a project. Never again.
Like 10 years ago, in my area, Bawls and Jolt Cola were easy to find. Those were god-tier.
Also tried a drink called "Cocaine". It had this weird ass burn, which fucked up my throat for a few days. It's still sold, I think, but the burn sensation is gone.
>>7105229
>everything's there
>>7111769
It is excellent as a joke
Goddamn kryptonite.
The gold and cranberry shit's good too.
This is kinda good for a gimmick drink. Probs not enough to fuel a full grown man though.
This was one great. Was supposed to taste like a white Russian cocktail.
Regular monster is the only energy drink I can consume right after waking up to go to my night shift job. The rest have a nasty aftertaste.
>>7115793
wtf i need this
>>7115724
you monster
>>7105202
i dont know if this is sold anywhere else than norway
but its the only energy drink that is actually palatable
>>7116205
fuck sorry forgot the image
>>7116206
battery is the shit man, but i dont know if its sold anywhere else than norway either
>Dairy beverage with natural cinnamon flavors
For what fucking purpose
>>7109318
>6.9%
You'd have to drink 3 of these to even be feeling good and by then you would have projectile vomited and experienced palpitations. Pretty retarded, why drink a sugary vodka drink when you're basically limited to 1 or 2? Have soda instead.
>>7111829
I remember Bawls being shilled on ThinkGeek back before it became an autistic meme-haven. I finally tried one and thought it was good, it's nice when guarana is used as a flavor instead of just being shoehorned in because of MUH NATURAL ENERGY. They are expensive though, when I drink energy drinks I generally go for 99 cent ones that taste like cough syrup.
>>7115754
I had a Pac Man energy drink and it was really fucking good. Same problem, theyre like $3 for a tiny can at Hot Topic checkout and shit like that
>>7115793
I can't dig the Java Monster line at all. They taste so overly syrupy and sweetened that I can never make myself finish them, and this is coming from someone who normally puts a ton of sugar and stuff in coffee.
>>7105202
I, too, appreciate RedBull, but for my own consumption, I go with Sugar Free.
It puzzles me how in one of the country's of origin for Red Bull, it's quiet different, both in flavor and perception.
In Thailand, it's considered a drink for the lower working class and comes in small, un-carbonated bottles. They have a special, carbonated version but it's not a big seller. It's also relatively inexpensive, about $0.33 per bottle.
My brother is an exec at their OTHER hq in Salzburg, Austria. I've tasted some of their more exotic flavors, and they actually have a politically incorrect coffee line called Afro cafe (pic related).
>>7116503
Afro cafe sounds fine to me, or does it start being pc when you mention specific countries
It has a nice thick texture

Is that the one that tastes like orange soda? If so, best one.
>>7116295
it's sold in finland since it's made by sinebrychoff, i've seen it in sweden as well
I currently drink this shit. It's 4 for £1. Literally the chepest energy drink available to me.
I would prefer to drink red bull, but since Im always trying to be /fit/ and lose weight, I go for the sugar free varieties. Sugar free red bull just isnt the same as the original, so I opt for the cheap shit instead.
>>7105258
I've found them as cheap as 2.80
>>7111789
I bet she doesn't even play Bloodborne.
This shit is like the juice from god's pussy, fucking impossible to find now too, at least where I am it is.
>>7120562
>She
Mountain Dew Kickstart is good. Plus it has coconut water and slightly less sugar so I can pretend it's better for me.
>the original ads got taken off tv because people complained they were too violent
I really hate the kind of people who complain about non-issues.
Red Bull is the only one that I like the taste of, but I try and avoid it now that I can actually function and get enough rest.
>>7105234
That's pretty distinct, the original just tastes like bitter bitter ass to me sadly.
>>7105239
Yeah we know guy, at the lollipop hospital .

>Ripper
Pretty much any coffee energy drink.
>>7121260
Eh depends on your definitions
Most people would consider an energy drink to be a subset of soda that includes a large amount of caffeine and/or other chems designed for alertness.
I.e. fuck yourself
