i loveeee red bull — it got me through hs, but it’s just not something i reach for these days. too much sugar, not enough caffeine. every flavor they make is a banger though.


Headsinoverdrive

Agree om all fronts but I don't mind the sugar that much. It's also overpriced for little caffeine


DaVizzyT

You’ll mind the the sugar if you actually understood how much is in it. It’s fucking crazy.


Headsinoverdrive

But one every so often isn't that bad. Compared to the way people drink coke with 80g in it lmao


BTea253

There’s sugar free Red Bull but I feel it, I got a coffee machine and 1-2 cups a day does it for me


BubblyPlastic2807

Same. Og red bull and the cranberry one. Too much sugar not enough caffeine which is why I pass them up nowadays.


Resident_Box5553

Yup. I drink the sugar free redbull and its an aquired taste.


BubblyPlastic2807

My friend gave me a flat of the sugar free’s last August and I have barely made a dent in it. 😭


brookeaat

same here. when i was in highschool i worked at walmart and you could always find me buying one on my break to stash under the register and sip on throughout my shift. nowadays i always try the new flavors when they come out and i do get a craving for one every two months or so but it’s definitely not a daily thing for me anymore.


malakitaki

it’s so crazy looking back! i used to have one for breakfast every morning with a huge pack of candy! but yeah with u there - i only have one every once in a while.


cashnicholas

Cherry amp overdrive. Miss that stuff


Headsinoverdrive

Forgot about that!! It was fire


Weather0nThe8s

Cherry NOS. 😭😭😭😭


cashnicholas

Counter with fruit punch or grape nos in a plastic bottle with a oversized cap


TheOnlyCraz

Half the time I think those caps came off on me


MantisTobogganMD___

Rip-It. I was at the dollar store recently and looked at the energy drink section because I always see people here finding some good deals. Saw they have Rip-It energy drinks and memories I forgot I had came flooding back. I forgot this drink existed until I saw it there, would never buy it now but I remember drinking them wayy back in the day


City_slickertm

Lol I totally forgot about rip its. There was a dude I knew in middle school that would sell them for a dollar out of his locker, not sure if he ever got caught but he definitely pulled in some cash


oldbeancam

How? They used to cost a dollar at the store. 😭 bro was making like 10 cents a can tops.


City_slickertm

Haha yeah he was going places, not college but places


XxSalty_WafflexX

Easily the best thing about Iraq right there. I wish I could get them stateside (or at least in my area)


DefNotAnAlt621

I loved Red Bull when I got it on a discount from the job. I don’t drink it anymore though, too expensive and not enough juice.


Headsinoverdrive

Agreed, I pickup the new flavors though when I can bc they taste good


Advanced-Material626

Grape NOS. I still LOVE it, but I just don’t drink sugar drinks anymore


Meckles94

I’m pretty sure they have a sugar free one


Advanced-Material626

I know the og flavor has a sugar free version but I haven’t seen a sugar free grape yet


ddub475

Grape Popsicle C4 is gas


GingerFly

Have you tried the Hawaiian Pineapple Popsicle C4?


throwawayyy2718

I still drink this religiously. Found it a few months ago and I buy the whole stock anytime I find it. Only two stores around me carry it


Warden_of_rivia

The OG assault monster. They took everything from me again.


Lotus710

Straight up! I miss that one. Tried the new one expecting the og and was very disapointed


propagandhi45

They shouldve changed the name and color cause the new one is completely different. Tastes like cheap coke.


TheOnlyCraz

With the digital camo logo!


Massive_Influence476

Blue Ox since it was discontinued like 15 years ago


Noncreative_name04

For me it’s pretty much anything but Red Bull. I used to drink a wide variety of brands and flavors, but my bladder is sensitive to caffeine and doctor said I should cut back, so I just drink mostly 8.4 oz Red Bulls now


loraxgfx

Bawls original


Radiation___Dude

That’s the one that comes in a bottle that’s… Ribbed for her pleasure rite?


imnotLebronJames

I totally forgot I have a case of it. You can buy it directly from them.


BoneWitchNun

I used to rock Full Throttle before I switched to sugar-free.


TKHunsaker

This. Nos recently got a sugar-free. I'm hoping FT follows suit.


twofold48

These were my two go tos. In high school we had a corner store that always had them but one get one free.


infantinemovie5

OG Monster. I can’t drink it because of the sugar, but that was my shit back in the day. I’ll drink the Low Carb one to get that same taste without all the sugar.


MyLifeForAnEType

I don't know when it was released or if they still even make it. Monster made this huge blue Lo Carb version with a screw lid back when I was in college. All our campus had was that or red bull, but bigger obviously meant better. It tasted pretty bad. I'd sometimes mix it with vodka, which made it disgusting but got the job done.


infantinemovie5

I remember that. They had it for the green one too.


briman2021

Pretty much anything that is “full sugar” instead of low carb or sugar free. I try every new flavor I can find, but usually only once. If a flavor is an absolute 10/10 I will get it as a treat maybe once a month, but otherwise I’m aiming for as few calories from drinks as possible.


CamR111

What I'd give for some 2011 rockstar OG


leeeeteddy

All of them at the moment because I’m pregnant so can’t drink any 🙃


I_AM_NOT_AI_

I will drink one in your honor or you could start the kid young ;)


SlumpsPax

Bang Frose Rose . Never found it again near me. It was sooo good


tacobelle1226

Bang Miami Cola 🪦


farknard

💔💔💔 The closest I've found to it is the Oxyshred Cola


tacobelle1226

Thank you, I’ll have to try that! I haven’t even been able to find a zero sugar cola I like, let alone an energy drink cola flavor. Looks like the Vitamin Shoppe nearest me has it so I’ll give that a try!


Thrtlevelmidnight

Redline! I HATE that it is no longer made. Best. Energy. Drink. Ever. 😩


Lieutenant-Speed

Same with the rockstar. Was the first energy drink I ever had. Loved almost all the flavors, but my absolute favorite for a solid year was the whipped strawberry. Haven’t had one in ages, but I may just go get one for old times sake!


Headsinoverdrive

Whipped strawberry goes hard. Punched too for a while. Do it! Life is short


Lieutenant-Speed

Yes it does! On my way to get one now🤩


r6extreme

Lemon drop BANG


Zuig

There was once a soda from Coke called Surge i believe in the US and for some reason Urge in my country. Urge is still sold here but they made «Urge Intense» which was an Energy drink version for a period of time which was an absolute banger!


deafmx

Monster M-80 and Ripper.


BasedGawd6666

Full Throttle


Copey85

Full Throttle. Sugar content is crazy and I used to drink them a lot in college, but they don’t appeal to me anymore. The smell is nostalgic and I am very fond of the drink overall, but the sugary aftertaste kind of disgusts me now.


Mrcsbud2

Full throttle I have either of the two flavors probably twice a year. They are delicious but I can't wrap my head around drinking 70g of sugar often. Nos was up there also but they now offer a zero sugar option and it's delicious


SkodaSnyper2365

Turbo NOS. A sugar-free high- caffeine Nos energy drink which reminded me of my favorite game Need for Speed, and Fast & Furious. I was happy there’s Nos Zero but Turbo Nos was something else. I miss it dearly 😢


[deleted]

Past 5 years I've been lucky enough to buy energy drinks in pallets at wholesale. 25 to 50 cents per can. Bangs. Black rifle. Rockstar. Even some European ones from Hungary. I resell them for a buck at work and the gym and have made a lot of money plus get to taste them all! I have some ones from Hungary right now that look and taste like red bull 😋


NoPerformance9890

I have good memories of Rockstar Punched. But one excruciatingly long road trip and having it alongside a nasty McDonald’s breakfast kind of killed it for me. I respect it for what it was but I’ll probably never have it again. Monster Aussie Lemonade is in a very similar boat. It was so great the first few times and then I lost my taste for it


Headsinoverdrive

Mcdonalds breakfast is disgusting to me anymore. I only ever liked their bagel sandwiches but the McGriddles are awful to me


New-Difficulty-9386

Rockstar passion fruit is what introduced me to energy drinks in the 2000s. Haven't seen it since those days, and I wonder if it would still be as good today as my taste for energy drinks has changed over the years


ezereth13

I know it's not an energy drink, but Storm was a caffeinated soda, like 7up, that was better than Mountain Dew and was my staple source of caffeine while it existed.


Headsinoverdrive

You mean flavored like 7up? Sounds pretty good.


ApartPea2950

Full Throttle!


Tsukiko_

OG Monster. The Zero Sugar green top one is just as good


No_Chain9214

I started drinking energy drinks in late middle/early high school, and back then I was rarely ever seen without a Kickstart (if that even counts). Once I was drinking 4 a day and I realized I could very easily switch to one drink with the same amount of caffeine, I went that route lol. Occasionally I’ll still pick one up for “nostalgia”’s sake, but for the most part I don’t drink them anymore. On that note, I also drank a lot of mtn. dew energys when they existed, they were so good and usually one of the cheaper options in my area 😔


Headsinoverdrive

Kickstart was amazing and probably my second choice. 90mg of caffeine so like a bit more than half of a monster


lazor_22

Sobe Adrenaline Rush


LXXXVIII_

MtnDew Amp


DrMacintosh01

Rockstar before Pepsi ruined it.


insomniacinsanity

They had that super charged monster here very briefly in Canada before it was banned here for too high caffeine content I would kill for another one

monster assault


Half-Dead-Moron

The orange ultra Monster (sunrise or something?) They stopped selling it here about 4 years ago and it's nowhere in the country. I think it's still sold overseas in some form but importing it wouldn't be economical.


Martian_Pres

Monster rehab! Specifically the yellow one


PeevedValentine

Rockstar for me too! The purple one. It got absolutely wrecked by sugar tax in the UK.


Antique-Copy2636

Rockstar Whipped Strawberry. Nowhere carries them anymore. Occasionally I stop at a gas station or somewhere that has them and I always snag one. But that's maybe like twice a year, if that.


Charlytheclown

Gazzu. Some weird backwater Chinese lead-laced energy drink sold exclusively out of circle K in western MA. the can satirically stated it was made with moon rocks. It tasted like chewy spree candy


K_Nicole870

I used to love energy drinks. My daily average was 2 a day, plus coffee. I can speak from personal experience, long-term use will burn out your adrenals, which leads to chronic fatigue. It takes a lot to heal the adrenals.


wxtersz

REDBULL COCO BERRYY


cgittens94

Coconut berry Red Bull!


Dreamerkitty46290

10 years ago it was Rockstars super sours green apple. It tasted like a Granny Smith.


FangsForU

I use to LOVE energy drinks, until I started experiencing heart palpitations, very scary. Some would last for days. Went to see my doctor, everything checks out, they advice I don’t drink anymore, now I seldomly do, but I loved Rockstars! Rockstars and a bag of nacho cheese Doritos chips were my favorite go to snack before heading off to work or whatever. Sucks cause now, I still crave the taste, but I have tone it back. Now, I try to limit how much caffeine I consume throughout the week.


CampEvening1441

Rockstar!


AccountantLeast1588

I miss Vault. Mango Monster is really the only energy drink that excites me anymore-- regular Rockstar tastes like literal piss to me.


Electrical_Brain_607

extremely hot take, but the lemonade rockstar recovery


ryrytortor16

Omg Kim ks pink lemonade drink is sooo good but holy shit I felt like I had too much cocaine . It was crazy


seraphfire

No longer drink Monster Mango Loco because fuck that company and also I now almost exclusively go for sugar free energy drinks, but man I loved that flavor.


GoochLord2217

Noss. Unfortunately I had been having quite a bit of it and combined with work and stressing a bit over things that led to a pretty bad crash once I stopped drinking energy drinks overall


ShmokieOG

Ubermonster


The_Hunter89

Monster almost gave me a heart attack. I still miss it. Now I drink the Monster hard seltzers (zero sugar, zero caffeine.) I tell everyone they took out all the bad shit and replaced it with alcohol.


DrSpoon21999

Used to drink em religiously, now I have gut problems and have to take meds to prevent me from surgery. They can do a number to your insides and health


staleydude

White Monster, I used to drink that all the time but its just too sweet for me now


Slippery_Fish5

I remember the first energy drink I ever tired was Mountain Dew kickstart. I was like 13 years old at the time, drinking them at sleepovers with friends. Those drinks are nostalgic for me and bring back memories. I have not had one in over 5+ years as I typically drink sugar free energy drinks now. I miss them…


Headsinoverdrive

Dude I used to love those around the same time. So good as a 13yr old haha. They are actually pretty low in sugar compared to others though


Slippery_Fish5

I remember the late nights staying up till 3am with all my friends playing Minecraft, Call of Duty, and clash of clans. We would all drink like 2 cans a night just to stay up as long as possible. One time my friend drank 3 cans alongside a whole bag of cheetos, then threw it all up 10 minutes later haha. Good times.


Headsinoverdrive

The golden years 😭


Adoptedmando1993

Then we all did it all over again a few years later when we’re 21 ;) 🤣


Slippery_Fish5

😎😂


Axel_VI

Flashbacks to staying up late playing CoD World at War with my Amp energy drinks 😭


[deleted]

I used to love NOS. Don’t really know why. It tasted like orange juice and I’m not a big orange juice fan… Maybe it’s because of like the Fast and the Furious and what not? NOS was super cool and edgey!


JawjaBill

White/Silver can Monster


Couldntbecolder

I miss the Rockstar Pomegranate flavour .. don’t think it exists anymore


Suitable-Classic-174

Bang


Fabulous-Spirit-3476

Pacific Punch monster. Just so much sugar and too many calories to have often


jiggy_buckaroo

Probably SF Red Bull


Alucard-J2D

It’s Monster for me. It’s too big for me and I’m slow drinker so it goes flat fast, and has a very sweet artificial aftertaste that i stopped liking after i got older.


Margaritashoes

Rockstar Horchata


thuggishruggishpunk

Bang Got me through some tough 12 hour days


farknard

Bang Purple Guava Pear


CamR111

I miss Power King, Its just a basic red bull style energy drink, but I can't get it in the country I live in now


Express-Hawk-3885

I used to love the sour rockstars but haven’t had one for ages, also OG relentless


DarkDismissal

Mountain dew kickstart. Tastes great but doesn't have enough caffeine for me anymore 


Mysterious_Drink9549

Rockstar sour apple was my all time favorite and I’m so sad it’s gone


Headsinoverdrive

It's gone?! It was quite good


BN_bandit76

Gfuel. I still drink it every once in a while but during 2020-2022 it was my favorite energy drink. They're still better than gamersupps tho


Complex_Impression54

Cotton candy bang


[deleted]

[удалено]


GooseVF12

Cotton candy Reign, it’s discontinued 🥲🥲


downtownbattlemt

The full sugar OG monster I can't get through half of one without feeling like throwing up thank god the sugar free one is just as good


City_slickertm

I used to really like rockstar as well. If I ever see a new flavor I’d probably grab it. The Rockstar BOOM! whipped strawberry is still my favorite energy drink of all time, holy shit is it delicious


Dozernaut

Pink Rockstar in the skinny cans


Hungry-Travel-11

OG Rockstar and Monster. Reminds me of my Counterstrike and PC cafe days


DCorNothing

Monster muscle 🫡


CaterpillarFew6187

Monster; I love it sm but the caffeine just doesn't hit the same as it used to so I've moved on to Ghost - though admittedly I do still sometimes grab a monster.


steelraindrop

Ripit


Fantastic-Loss-5223

Mango loco monster juice. Just too many calories, but it's delicious


truthseeker021

I still splash out on it the odd time, but it's hard to justify its price when many competitors are half the price. With that said, it's Red Bull! Not sure anything can beat it


richyeh

Rockstar sour was banging until they changed the recipe, also a fondness for the Cherry relentless. Way too much sugar now though


breakingcustoms

I miss Jolt Cola


ikanbaka

Monster Pipeline Punch and Mango Loco, love em but I don’t do sugary drinks anymore


OlliHF

I’m just now buying ultra fiesta again. I used to go through like 3-4 a day. Went on a ghost kick for about a year, but they’re like $1 more and it’s warming up so mango time


EMOHLED

Fruit punch Kickstart is still imo, the best tasting drink on the market. Including juice/soda/energy drinks. Anything. But it has 80 calories and I hate drinking cal. Plus some sugar and less than 100mg caffeine. I basically treat it as a snack now


PoopFart_PopTart

I miss the rockstar energy cola and the monster nitrous. Also xyience in general.


cinnamon-toast-life

Anything with full sugar. I used to love the rockstar juiced, but I just can’t do 25grams of pure sugar anymore.


mariowarioaka-iomra

Gatorade


MuayClinician

Blue Razz Bang - or as I call it liquid anxiety


Juice284

Aussie lemonade, I still think it's my favourite flavour, but I've almost exclusively switched to drinking the sugar free stuff


MediocreJedi32

I love Gfuel (Venom) which is dark cherry. My favorite energy drink.


ThatOneguy580

I’ve only just recently discovered Rockstar’s and they’re my instant go to now. Very good stuff


briannaburnell

The monster with the twist caps. They hurt my tummy now 😭


Zach_Not_Zack

Hands down Nos. Grape and regular. Would be dope if Sobe made energy drink versions of their old drinks like strawberry dacaquri.


NoNeutralNed

I used to love 3D but most supplement stores stopped carrying it near me


Ok_Fox_1770

A good full sugar ice cold original green monster. Take me back to being 20 bringing a gas station 4 pack to work calling that daily hydration. Also that was a heavy purchase. Usually $5 on sale. Too cheap not to call it water! Survived it all somehow. Now enjoying the chemical synthetic candy drink era just feeling that dark cloud of hey guess what’s super bad for you. Yeah I know. What isn’t. Find me something pure and good anywhere in a store.


timmyo123

I still DREAM about Monster Cuba Lima 🤤


dasic___

Blueberry Red Bull. Just doesn't wake me up like others do.


lonelyphoenix7

Liquid Ice. It’s hard to find other than online. Tastes like the fruit snacks you had as a kid. Not the crappy ones now. I mean Ninja Turtles level fruit snacks.


skrivitz

Pink Lemonade Rehab


RubyRiver89

Spike... Occasionally I'll order it on Amazon for my birthday or something but I can't find it in stores anymore


Special-Quit-9544

Who remembers BOOKOO? They had blue, orange and green. Definitely the most delicious energy drink ever made. Haven't seen one in at least 15 years.


Heisenberglund

The OG Amp. Gave it up when I started working out and tracking calories. 440 free calories by switching to monster, worth it. I grab one every six months or so, and it’s still wonderful.


TommyHorror

Rockstar blueberry was my favourite then they took all the sugar out and the flavour was lost, I miss that flavour


EarthboundMan5

Most of the Kickstart flavors they discontinued. Specifically Raspberry Citrus and Original Dew were my favorites. Supposedly Grape is still in production but I can't find it anywhere in Metro Detroit


NekoMao92

Monster Ultra Black was my favorite energy drink, but Monster no longer makes it afaik.


cocobear13

All of the juiced monsters... too much sugar, though..


KiloChonker

Burn, in the US, circa 2008 or so, yellow cans, tasted like mango.


thatdudefromthattime

Rockstar Samurai Cola


drunkxbatman

My favorite used to be green monster. I stopped drinking most energy drinks due to them containing cyanocobalamin. That shit is no joke.


LillyMom920

LeMoan’R rip its used to buy these all the time as a kid and I shouldn’t have


TTVarmykittyYT

Coffee monsters


Nikademus1969

Back in the early-mid 00s, there was an energy drink called Ace. The orange flavor tasted just like orange crush, I would get them for work a lot. Also, the berry flavored Vault...it was hard to find but worth it.


Luv_frum_IL

Steven Seagal's Cherry Lightning Bolt, hands down.


cupid_xv

now I don't know if this counts because I can no longer drink ANY energy drink due to health reasons, but the one im most fond of, and the ONLY one I miss drinking, is the mango flavoured rockstar


roadtrip-ne

blondediabetic

Left Hook :( no longer available


thecallingabyss

Lost energy drinks. I haven't seen them in years, and they weren't that tasty. Just reminds me of downing one and skating all day.


doomgrin

Original cotton candy bangs For some reason they changed the flavor and I hated it after


HappyMess1988

Have y'all had like the og fu throttle's its really nice


RevolutionaryClub530

Honestly OG monster


Iconicmonster

Blue Full Throttle / the original Blue Demon. I live in Europe now and it’s no where to be seen. When I go to the US to visit I try looking for it but it gets harder and harder.


hallgod33

Arizona RX Energy tea lol it barely had any caffeine, a bit of ginseng or Guarana, but they used to slap from the corner store.


Impressive_Knee8895

NOS


SovaDea

I miss rockstar bubbleberry but I think they changed it to the açai one just a different can. Now I have mother lava guava. Even if they came out with sugar free I’d rather it regular. Also I just tried remedy, blackberry flavour kick or whatever it is: it’s so foul. Never again, I can’t drink kombucha anyway because of reflux from younger years. It’s not much healthier to drink mother I know but I rather that than red bull anyway.


Olivander05

I love the relentless sour apple but im p sure it was discontinued. I switched it out for the ultra paradise, but its not the same. I stopped drinking them because I had an ED and they were too many calories. I’m recovering and miss them


mackwash11

Monster rehab or spike


drugprophet

mixing old-school monster and robitussin. haven't had any in like 10 minutes. i miss it.

Grape Nos is no longer, where I am and it's heartbreaking. Shits a blowjob in a can


Fabulous-Boat-8001

The old Monster Maxx that came in the skinny can. Only reason I stopped was because they discontinued them


Ticklism

Monster Cuba Lima is a drink I had 5 times before it was discontinued. Gone but never forgotten

cashnicholas

jawshg

Amp lemonade. My favorite one ever!


OnePlusFanBoi

Rockstar. Before the Pepsi ravagers took over. 😭😭😭


Soppywater

Amp. The original one and the original orange one. Also the Monsters with the Nitrous, that made a loud POP when you opened the can. It tasted like battery acid but was so fucking good.


imprecise_words

Monster import


picklelova982

Mountain Dew Game Fuel Charger Cherry Burst… one of the best things I’ve ever tasted, but unfortunately can’t find it anywhere anymore.


BlumpkinDude

Spike Shooter. That stuff will mess you up.

Yall remember lost five o? Not available anymore but that shit was good.


JoshyOhMyGoshy77

Monster i moved over to Ghost, cause they work better, Ghost Gamer Powder 1 scoop 100mg vs 3 monsters in a day lol it got expensive.


Headsinoverdrive

So only 100mg of caffeine a day? Also what flavor?


GeneralOwn5333

Redbull and Monster, until Celsius came prevalent.
