Monster drinks

Disappointing or what.

Green one was lame...no kick or distinctive taste to it.

Just tried the yellow 'Ripper' one and seems to taste like liquid pepper.

What are the others ones like?

Any alternatives?

Ignore monster all flavours are disgusting

You may like relentless though

Orange is okish but I prefer rockstar orange instead.

Mr-White · 1 Sep 2011 at 15:05

I prefer Relentless, look out as they're always on offer for 2 for £2

I was expecting a thread about volume not brand.

That radioactive luminous green stuff? I've not tried it because I'll probably want kids when I'm older please thanks.

I expect it is green, yeah. Won't be buying again.

Don't have energy drinks that often at all but fancied trying it. Disappointed.

Will check out Relentless next time, or that Rockstar one.

Far too sweet and sickly, the tiny glasses I had over the weekend were gross, but I can sink back a full can of Rockstar/Relentless with no issue.

Cheepo "Emerge" little Can but 4 for £1 at Poundland and it gives you a Buzz like no other! lol

I also like Monster, Relentless, Rockstar, No Fear, Red Bull, Red Rooster - Even the Tesco KX is a good one the new recipie is a lot better taste wise..... So yea basicly I like them all.........LOL

Energy Drink addict i am...... I Drank so many over the years I have devolpoed Kidney Stones...... :mad:

You could try Mountain Dew Energy. I think it's got as much caffeine in it as Red Bull. It's basically just sugar. One 500ml bottle contains about 50% of your GDA/RDA of sugar.

I really like the tast of the "normal" green one. I don't like the taste of Relentless, Rockstar, Red Bull etc. It's probably because Monster is pumped full of sugar.

Mountain Dew Energy is just normal Mountain Dew, but it has to be classed as an energy drink due to laws in the UK I believe. It's not really an energy drink as such.

It's slightly cheaper than Red Bull isn't it?

I have the low-carb one sometimes in place of a beer when I have the 'beer and a burger' deal at Wetherspoons. It's ok.

Probably a lot nicer with some vodka

It might be. I know it's something ridiculous.

Basically, Mountain Dew is Type 2 Diabetes in a bottle.

CliffyBiro · 1 Sep 2011 at 16:03

A full bottle of the Dew is 66% I think.
