the way this CEO dresses, the way he talks, the way he sells energy drinks with something called Super Creatine in it. This is literally something out of that movie Idiocracy
I work at Starbucks and I can wholeheartedly say that people still believe that fat is the problem rather than sugar. People regularly get drinks with more than double the recommended sugar intake and then get it with nonfat milk to make it "healthy".
Yes!!!!! Omg i had an autoimmune condition from eating POUNDS of sugar ruined my body and health. I eat high fat no sugar now and my condition improved by like 90%

I‘m pretty sure that Bang used to be banned in my country because of unsafe caffeine levels. The version we have now is different from the one in the US
Man, im an ex-account sales manager for Bang and let me just tell ya. Things were pretty crazy over there. Over all actually a pretty cool place to work but dude, the CEO was nuts. We had a Christmas party one year where he flew everyone out to Florida and in his speech said that he was happy everyone was there for him. Dude, we came for the party not you. His biggest mistake was handing over distribution for Bang to Pepsi. That's when everything tanked. Not great management either that kept threatening to fire us if we didn't hit numbers every month. The entire branch I worked out ended up being liquidated. (Take that ---- and your "If you make yourself indispensable then the company will always take care of you" bs) Edit: Charlie if you're curious at all to know any inside questions I'd be happy to let you know. Some pretty crazy stuff happened like the Christmas parties having open bars and women flashing everyone while Mr. Worldwide himself was performing. Or the time when my general manager told me to wait in the conference room, closed the door and said he'd fight me cause he thought I was talking behind his back. Edit #2 : Some of yall missing the point. It might be "cool" but the flashing is sexual harassment. If it was dudes it'd be completely different. This was also encouraged and written off. CEO was nuts because of the stuff he'd tell us for our meetings (if it isn't obvious in his videos) the party example was me referring to his narcissism. There was alot of office romances/hook ups including with married couples. Inappropriate comments towards the Fuel team(bang girls) from employees and management. SOME of these girls were just girls trying to pay their bills and what not that didn't enjoy the attention but it was a super easy job. Just saying there was a ton more dirt under the surface than any other job I've worked at and I've worked at a bunch of jobs. Lastly im not trying to accomplish anything, just thought it interesting to share and feed Charlie's blooming obsession with Jack.
im guessing an extra perk is being surrounded by bang energy models and titties. i can only imagine the personalities you'd encounter working for this guy.
Savetion, I am incredibly impressed RU-vid actually let you type that. Usually, if you type something that is considered too rude, controversial or just blatantly not good, your comment gets shadowdeleted- it’s removed without telling you. (I know this because it happens to me on the occcasion, you can find out by going to old comments via bell icon, opening them fully, and seeing your comment not actually be shown to anyone else). Also, stop being racist.
There is 100% a caffeine issue going on in society rn. As you mentioned, drinks like Bang, Reign, even Blck rifle coffee has 300mg of caffeine. There’s now caffeine seltzer water, caffeinated gum, granola bars, etc…. I know multiple people who can put down multiple cans of bang per day, for years, and not be over energized. Our tolerances are slowly being jacked up while the concentrations get higher. I’ve since moved away from those daily cans of energy drink, now reserved for special occasions(also, I did buy Bang over others due to the creatine claims, I felt and saw a physical difference on/off the bang train). Even healthy, young adults who are dedicated to fitness will drink one or two cans, coupled with “pre-workout”, which is just powdered caffeine. Monster may have more lawsuits or whatever, but they’ve also been around the longest, right? I’ve never looked it up, but I’m my experience in northern New England over the last 20 years, Red Bull and Monster were the OG energy drinks. Bang only appeared in my area ten ish years ago. Red Bull maintains a respectable concentration of like, 70mg/8oz can,so only a little more than coffee. But, bang has at least twice that per. It’s going to be interesting to see in some years if heart complications in young adults increases.
Yeah I'm 22 and I got addicted to energy drinks for a few months and it was AWFUL. I have ADHD and I was trying to self-medicate with caffeine and it spiraled so that I was drinking 300mg every day. Now I also only drink energy drinks on special occasions and I'm on actual ADHD meds. It's much better. I don't take my Vyvanse on my days off and I don't get withdrawals and irritability the way I did with caffeine.
Yeah man I can go through 2-4 cans of bang in a single work shift. I'm 4 years away from being 30 so I really need to stop drinking this crap before it's too late
It’s a guarantee coupled with how many people down bangs and then immediately hit nicotine to start their mornings ☠️ Plus the amount of people who have actual physical withdrawal symptoms from caffeine that make them go drink caffeine to get rid of it is crazy too, no shame in it either too because it’s become accepted and acceptable :(
Its insane. I see people at work who pound 2-3 cans of shit garbage and are still "tired." When bang first came out i remember trying it and it was way too much caffeine for me, and my friends who drank energy drinks daily agreed. But now they have gotten used to it so they drink bang or anything else on the regular.
Idk why he can't. You can make a mixture and call it whatever. Titles don't matter. Look at half the bills called shit like "women protection act" that doesn't protect women at all
Was his claim that L-Leucine only chemically bonds to super creatine? And if you don’t have super creatine you don’t get the benefits of L-Leucine? 💀 bro is wildin

Advertising product with women is the OG strategy that wildly predates Internet even as a word or a concept. Look at any ad 30y+ ago and you will se women as promoters or just standing to it as an ad. This worked for decades and will continue working. With this CEO and his pathetic advertising (which works on masses) the company would have success easily even without any social network. Selling snake oil is old as capitalism itself.
Still doesnt, i mean it can help contribute, but any over consumption of calories will have you gain fat. Sugar can help you go over your maintenance calories pretty easily if you have a bunch of sugary stuff.
@@DarthProlif one sugary drink is calories for hours at a time and alot of people live a sedentary lifestyle. Of course you can drink an entire bottle of soda if you're running all day but if you drink 3 glasses on top of eating youre getting way too many calories
@@AmbitionIsaMust115 one can of soda is only approx 150cals, but they add up if you constantly drink and live a sedentary lifestyle. Theres various factors to weight gain, and sugar isnt the leading cause but can be a major proponent depending on lifestyle. Calories is what gains fat if you're over your maintenance, not sugar, not fat, not anything but over consuming
The only way Bang could get out of this is to make more hype houses. That went amazing. Also they should discover supercaffeine. Sure others call it coke but it’s like potato tomato
Can't tell if it's for the sake of the joke or if it's genuine, but it's supposed to be either potato/potato or tomato/tomato as the point is about pronunciation.
So if I drink one every day and two on my double shift I will have roughly 8 bangs in my system at any given time. The gods themselves will look down with envy on my power.
@@zachparker9711 don't listen to that other guy, your logic is absolutely correct. doctors said I was going into "heart failure" but I think they were just intimidated
I did tree work at the CEO of Bangs house. It was a really nice place, and he's a super nice guy. He ordered Jimmy johns for my whole 5 man crew at lunchtime and tipped us each a hundred bucks when we were done.
He talks about how Monster has caused heart attacks but didn't talk about how Bang has 300 mg of caffeine while Monster has somewhere around 160 to 180 mg. Obviously Bang is more potentially dangerous for your heart in terms of caffeine dosage. I'm glad Charlie pointed this out in the video.
@@bigbearkat2010 In another dimension? I've had weed make me feel like that but not caffeine, although when your brain is being pumped full of adrenaline I can kinda see how it could start causing more than just anxiety and heart palpitations and possibly trigger a very mild psychedelic type of experience similar to maybe dextromethorphan.
@@lachousalle31 admittedly that's probably not an exact quote but either way the reaction was strong enough to make him feel like he should stop drinking it
I take 400mg for my workouts, it's not going to be anywhere close to kill you. Mind you I'm also working out really hard, as compared to someone trying to survive a night shift
People will fall for it, nobody has incentive to point it out either. The Medical field is filled with fake reports that other genuine researchers cite and imagine the negative effects on us that can't understand this and those that can get no credit for calling out bullshit.
At one point in my first freshman semester of college, I grew severely addicted to bang energy trying to stay up and do essays. One day I drank 3 of them in the same day. I don't know why I did, but it was 900mg of caffeine (between the 3 cans). I have adhd already, but that day where I had that caffeine, I had the biggest boost of energy of my life. I went down to the campus rec center and ran on the treadmil and then I went back up to my dorm. I could not sleep for the next 2 days. I was so jacked that I forgot to eat the next day. By the time the boost finally wore off, I was left feeling empty, shaky, had literal psychosis
Something similar happened to me. I was working in an office and didn't drink coffee, coworker got me to try bang. Drank two of them in 5 hours one shift, was slightly stoned and hungover, w/ the last drink being around 4pm. Largest dose of caffeine id ever had x5. Was zooooming. But then I couldn't go to bed. Shaky, restless leg syndrome, and i remember telling myself i wouldnt ever drink another one again. II couldn't imagine drinking 3 of them in one day 😲
In college, I once drank two of them to stay up late and finish a painting for class. After I left the studio, I started to feel awful. I got one hour of sleep and woke up with a weird hangover. Given I also have ADHD and I'm only ~115lbs, drinking 600mg of caffeine was a very poor decision. I experienced much regret the next day.
This is emblematic of the lack of scientific literacy and scientific humbleness in America. People who don’t know enough about science have more confidence than people that do and throw around claims that sound legit without having the proper knowledge to back them up. You see this with people disliking GMOs which have no inherent problems and without which we’d never sustain our 7 billion person population. Just Google what Bananas looked like before GMOs, not a lot of fruit in there.
@@superfly2535 GMOs are higher in salicylates, oxylates and histimines which wreak havoc on our guts. Keep putting your faith in billion dollar institutions. 1/4 medications the FDA approves eventually gets recalled after hurting people and making profit. Round-up was safe according to the science 10 years ago. The science is wrong all the time. So it's dumb to put blind faith in it and shut down anyone who think it might be wrong again this time, which is what you're doing.
@@superfly2535 meh, i havent read the science of "super creatine". But its just a name for the chemical. If they created the chemical and patented it, they can name it whatever the fuck they want. They claim it's creatine with L-Leucine attached to it, which then breaks down into creatine and L-Leucine overtime (making the effect last longer). Apperently the monster study showed that this isnt true. I dont know, i dont trust either company. But there definietly are chemicals that break down to other chemicals in the body which then have a different effect than the original chemical. So it's entirely in the realm of possibilities. It just the word "super" that throws you people off. They should just have called it L-creatine or something instead.
My friends dad passed away from a mainly monster. He used to drink about 3-6 cans a day. It was his main source of consumption. He would have stacks of garbage bags full of monster. Took him roughly 6 years of continuous consumption before he died. But he had lots of health complications prior to from kidney stones and lots of dramatic changes in his heart rates.
Wow thats alot per day. I used to drink 2-3 per day but ive lessened mine to just one a day. 6 cans is almost the same amount of caffeine than 3 Bang energy drinks.
I'm so glad I'm organs cannot handle energy drinks and give me diarrhea because I know a lot of people who drink 3 cans a day of energy drinks at least. I have a friend who quit them now but he used to always shake all the time because of them
When my mum first called paramedics and it was discovered she had atrial fibrillation, one of the first things she was asked was if she’d had any energy drinks. She’s in her 60s, but apparently it had been such a common cause of those sorts of health issues in people. I think this might’ve been around when some extra caffeinated versions of energy drinks were being promoted too so maybe that was part of it, but it was made very clear to her that energy drinks were potentially quite dangerous. They didn’t just ask if she’d been drinking coffee or other caffeinated beverages; it was specifically energy drinks they’d asked about. People who drink multiple cans per day of that stuff worry me.
Way I see it is Bang and Reign are to get you through days after sleepless nights and you really should not be having more than one of those per day. Energy drinks are for when a coffee won't cut it, not used in place of coffee.
@@SirHusky654 I also think some people feel they can’t function without coffee or other caffeinated beverages because they’ve developed an addiction, and if they quit for long enough then they’d find they function just as well or even better without it. I feel that way especially about those who say they’re unpleasant to be around before caffeine. Or some people are unknowingly using caffeine to self-medicate conditions like ADHD or fatigue disorders. Many of which can contribute to people having more sleepless nights, so that can create unhealthy cycles. Did you know sleep apnoea increases risk of heart disease? To my knowledge the reasons for that aren’t known, but many who are exhausted throughout the day reach for the caffeine, as you point out. I do agree with you though that in moderation then, for healthy people, these beverages are fine and healthy. And I understand needing that caffeine kick after being up all night, though for me I’d likely have a Pepsi Max or a strong tea because I personally don’t drink either energy drinks or coffee (just not a fan of the taste or smell).
I used to drink nearly 4L of energy drink everyday and yeah it's really not good for you. But no joke they taste awesome. I wish they stripped out all the caffeine and harmful stuff, I'm okay with the sugar-free versions.
@@nrXic I remember when Monster became popular and I thought it tasted “good for an energy drink” And then the zero sugar variants came out and I wrote them off when the sweetener aftertaste hit. But then brands like Bang, G-Fuel, and Celsius hit the market and were more delicious than original Mtn Dew while lacking sweetener aftertaste; I wish Pepsi and Coca-Cola would find out how so normal zs sodas taste can taste that good
The issue isn’t the caffeine in the drink, which is why they hadn’t asked if she drinks lots of coffee or caffeine from other beverages. Caffeine isn’t a cause of AFIB and can be a protective factor however, all the shit they put in there to compound the “energy effects” is dodgy and not well understood.
I'm not surprised. I just liked them because I could drink them for the caffeine and not crash a few hours later. I never gave a shit about the creatine or any of the supplement claims. Same with pretty much every energy drink I've ever had, I just wanted the caffeine. Everything else is useless. I'm like one step away from snorting raw caffeine powder man.
Its what happens when people who manage companies fail to watch things like Mandela Effect videos so they can use the content of these videos to empower their management skills and optimize their management practices so they stay ahead and do not let their companies collapse. Its why I listen to people like anti - vaccers and others who know how to manage companies.
This man looks exactly how teenage me would imagine the CEO of an energy drink company would look. I will say Bang definitely helped me survive my masters degree so while I’m not saddened I do feel a nod of respect to the drink.
@@sneakysnail9225 I had an exam for advanced structural steel design and I slammed 2 of the candy apple bangs right before, took the exam and then passed out exhausted.

In my early 20s I spent a summer working insane hours to send money to family and was pounding the big cans of red bull all day for weeks. My dumb ass ended up being dragged to the ER by a coworker after almost passing out in the middle of shopping. It felt like someone had dropped a boulder on my chest. The lining of my heart was inflamed. Now I can't even handle a cup of coffee its like my body hates caffeine now. And bang has twice the caffeine?! Yikes.
@@joogaloo8405 I had a guy that worked for me that would literally treat energy drinks like his drug and he would brag about how many he could drink....it was so cringe I couldn't handle it. So, I fired him in 3 days because he talked too much. Seriously
I don't drink energy drinks in general precisely because I drank a whole can of Bang to try and stay awake at work, and almost having a heart attack. My chest pain was immense that day. From now on, I'll just stick to Celsius and soda.
Less than a week ago I had what felt like a heart attack at work. I was 2/3rds of the way through a bang energy, recently switched from coffee to them. I would only drink one on days when I had work. I thought 300 mg caffeine and sugar free from bang would be healthier than the 900+ mg caffeine I had been drinking before I switched. Had breakfast, had a full thing of liquid death before drinking the bang. Wasn't dehydrated and was literally trying to be healthier. The top left part of my chest seized up, my arm, neck and shoulder were in agonizing pain. I had slight nausea and it took about 40 minutes for the clutched fist in my chest to finally go away but before that I ended up blacking out for a moment while standing up. Was in the middle of a lunch rush and it took me a bit to realize my vision was wrong afterwards. Everything had a fish eye lense effect on it and my head was sluggish. Like if I turned my head it felt like my brain lagged behind. Dumped the bang out and haven't had any caffeine since. I'm 27 and focusing on my health now. Amusingly everyone says I look like shit/sad/not my "usual chipper self" now and keep asking if I'm okay lol
Drink lots of water. You are definitely dehydrated despite not thinking you are. Put a pinch of sea salt in a cup of water for minerals and electrolytes, drink at least 6 glasses a day. A glass is 8-10 ounces.
maybe it also has to do with caffeine from coffee is not the same as caffeine from an energy drink?? like coffee is a more pure, direct way to get caffeine versus the synthesized bullshit they put in energy drinks and sodas. Just a thought. Idk i'm no expect on the matter lol.
Charlie is the kind of person to go to funerals and spend a good a really good 7-8 mins js looking at the body with a straight face while others r bawling
I won't say who, but I am a RM for a major US convenient store company. We've already reduced 75% of the Bang we carry on our shelves, and plan to completely remove it by the end of the year. As entertaining as this all has been, it's at it's end.
I work at an unspecified grocery chain on the west coast and I can confirm that at least one major regional distributor of Bang is fed up with their shit. Huge backstocks of Bang are being sold to discount retail chains to offload them.
When I was diagnosed with panic disorder I was warned against too much caffeine, the most I have on a daily basis is a cup of tea. Once when I was tired at work I threw caution to the wind and had a can of Rubicon Raw and my heart was fluttering. I felt so energetic but I kept pressing the same button at work for an hour straight. Never again.
I cut out almost all caffeine, and after adjusting from a pretty bad withdrawal crash I tend to feel a lot better nowadays, I can certainly recommend at least reducing caffeine.
I work for a Pepsi subsidiary that was distributing Bang for about two years. About a couple of months ago we dropped Bang in hopes of picking up Red Bull. That fell through and we wound up with Celcius and some energy drink called Ashoc. Now we are in a feud with Bang. Yay.
I used to drink Bang almost every day for a few years. I swore by the super-creatine too, I felt like I was high on life after I'd drink those things, but I did find stuff saying it's also fake. I couldn't tell if it was just other companies (particularly Monster aka Hansen Natural Corp) fabricating things (which was losing massive market share to Bang at the time)... so I always wondered. Anyway, I kicked caffeine during the Coof lock downs (unintentionally) and one day I drank half a bang a few months later and thought I was going to have panic attack.
Typically we actually experience similar effects to what is proposed if we actually believe it works! This is also true with medicine, more specifically the ones like pain killers, or antidepressants, which essentially make your body produce more dopamine. The super creatine obviously doesn't exist, but the belief in it actually causes your brain to produce more dopamine.
@@EnglandRemoval The placebo effect is definitely real! I felt like I was on crack with those Bangs, but it was probably the 300mg of caffeine doing most of the heavy lifting.
You were probably high on something other than life after drinking because Bang tastes like shit and I could never finish a single can because of how bad they tasted.
I work in a store that used to actively push "Bang!", they have been completely removed from our shelves. It literally happened over night and I imagine it's being pulled off other companies shelves too.
@@currahee drinks reigns or switch to a drink with less caffeine. I switched to redbull and then slowly got off them entirely. Still enjoy one every few days but I don’t feel like I’m dropping a tactical nuke on my heart anymore😂
@@Hoodie-K yeah that’s actually what i started doing. i never drink the whole thing though cuz yeah 300 mg of caffeine is crazy and it makes me thirsty for water
Charlie saying he doesnt have a word to describe something is horrifying. This man can consistantly pull out the most insane combos out of the english lexicon during a game of Rocket Leauge, but struggled to say "outrageous."
You ever look at someone and think "yep. That person is evil." Bang ceo makes me think that... So does Billy Mitchel. And my high school principal who cheated on his wife.
I used to work with someone who had 3 separate heart attacks* from monster *He drank up to 8 a day at the time and was drinking monster for 10~ years. Also he now has kidney stones about once a year BC he still can't stop drinking them. He's down to 1 a day.
If he has a degree in nutrition, that makes it embarrassing that he doesn't see how creatyl-l-leucine may possibly behave differently biologically from the two components that were covalently bonded together by a peptide bond.
@@stevenk113 did you watch the vid? Not only did he repeatedly say that what he was talking from memory and that it might not be true. I also even mentioned that he is almost an expert because despite his degree he is a full time streamer and doesn't really have a use for his degree. So he may know what he's talking about more than me, but he is no authority figure in the health sphere.
He completely misinterpreted a sentence in a study to mean the EXACT OPPOSITE of what the study concluded. If he’s an expert in anything it’s surface level research to confirm his biases.
@@aviewer6299 Although he was wrong you are wrong as well. Now before I talk anymore I want to say not a professional and I'll basically just regurgitate the info in the study so if someone were to be like, "no actually it is this, not this," I am purely reading from the study, go flame me about my opinion part if you want to. The part where the results where the "exact opposite" happened, was specifically talking about dogs. As evident by the header and this line in the paragraph, "In both groups of dogs, the ventricular fibrillation threshold was reduced even further when caffeine was administered." This is only for the dogs as throughout the human section, it talks about how it has little to no effect either way. This is evident in the conclusion section of the human section when it is said, "some data today suggest that caffeine effects are present, but the prevailing evidence shows no increase in arrhythmia." In other words, caffeine does not have an effect on arrhythmia. It sucks that he lied but I don't think it's a big deal as in the article it even talks about how 94 percent of doctors recommended cutting back caffeine for palpitation effected persons. So, I don't really blame Charlie for not accurately presenting facts on something that doesn't actually have any bearing either way and to "disprove" one part. Again, if you start looking at other studies and tell me I'm wrong go ahead because I wouldn't be surprised.
I had bought bang a few times and then I came across a video of the CEO and as soon as I saw this guy I immediately stopped buying them. I refuse to give money to a guy that acts and Carrie’s himself like this. It’s actually disgusting
Creatine monohydrate doesn't dissolve that well in water but I think it's more important that it dissolves better in your body. Also 300mg of caffeine is the same as 2 scoops of pre workout.
