Why I HATE Monster Energy Drink. The Monster behind the monster. 

He'll get over it. 😂

😡

Yes, he will.

@@THPS4. still not over it :(

@@CollectorKyle a whole 5 months later lmao

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

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

Thank goodness they don't know where I live

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

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.

Energy drinks have the amount you should drink on them. They just don’t read labels. Smh.

Thanks!

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 ͡°)

😂😂😂

Bryan M not Red Bull ?

@@danieldevine5347 i think Redbull is bellow Monster

I valentino Rossied your comment ( took it to number 46) XD

lol they sue everyone too just like disney

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!!!

Thanks! Glad you were here too! Appreciate the support and I'll keep making the content if you keep watching it!!!

YAY!!! Hopefully Yay! So many Monster lovers out there, I wasnt expected so many Yay's 😂

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)

Thanks so much! Glad you like it!

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

Yep, that can happen. Everything in moderation.

How many cans is too much?

@@edxander7169 you can die from 44 monster

@@anelabehaderovic8418 44 cans of monster in a day? What the hell lmao

@@anelabehaderovic8418 or did u mean a different brand/model of monster? 😅

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!

No problem!

Sounds like an interested way to test them all out! Gotta get that Manic Melon Hydro though! LOL

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 RU-vid, 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.

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

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 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!

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!

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%)

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.

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.

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!

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! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dqy25Tti124.html

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.

no, no reviews on that yet....and actually, no requests for that yet, so I will add it to my list!!! Thanks!

😂😂😂 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.

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. 👍

Thanks! Glad you like the channel! Thanks for the support 👍🏻

Not reviewed yet, but requested several times so it’s on the list!

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! 👍

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 😂

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.

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!!!

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. 👍👍👍

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! (belated). Hope you found some Bang Birthday Cake for it!

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.

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.

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.

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?" Part 1 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h2c2OCR_lWw.html Part 2 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oD34xvmyW8w.html Part 3 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yiE3r9YvxHc.html

No need to try that one... TRUST ME!!! 😂

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

😂 Feel free to elaborate. 👍

😂

Glad you enjoyed the video!

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.

You’re joking right?

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!

It took me a long time before I found some drinks that I like from them, but now that Ive expanded out, Ive found a few!

Thanks so much! Glad you liked the video.

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 know. It’s so weird, lol!

Glad you liked the video and feel free to disagree with me anytime you like. I dont mind! 😀 Thanks for watching and commenting!

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.

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.

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!!!!

Drink it, you’ll be fine.

Shotgun 4 of them

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.

They've been coming out with some really good ones lately!

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. 👍😀

Awwww, thanks!!! 👍

There are a lot of Monster songs out there!

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.

Thanks! Appreciate it!

I wish!!! They didnt release it here in the states! Only Canada and other places. They re-released the Plum flavor for the winter edition this year. Super bummed! Can't understand why they would do that.

I did! It taste like a warm holiday drink very cinnamon like its pretty good

@@Fairytainted59 I may have to cross the border into Canada to try and grab some. I like cinnamon. LOL!

@@CaffeineMan1 haha actually i'm in California but actually nevermind it was the Plum twist winter edition that I tried.

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.

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!!! 😱😱😱

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

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.

I love Red Bull. Ive always been a fan of Red Bull and Ive reviewed a majority of them. I did the Peach and Pear when they released it. Did the Winter Red Plum. Unfortunately, did the Summer Breeze. And early on in my channel I did all the flavors they had released at the time. So, yeah, feel free to browse around through my channel and you'll get a good idea of how I feel about Red Bull. #coconutRedBullRules

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.

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!!

Yep!!! Its on the list..... just not sure when...since its a long list.

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

What is this "sleep" thing you speak of???

Bang, YAY! Redline... be careful my friend! Strong stuff! Although they've modified the formula several times to make it safer, but still strong. Thanks for watching!

I dont drink it because I want too. I drink it for the reviews for you guys! Cotton Candy. Yum!

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.

Occassionally... but only occasionally... LOL!!! No, I sleep pretty well actually. Being knowledgeable on the topic, I know to keep my caffeine limits in check (most of the time at least....ok...part of the time). Heart attack? Nah! The American heart assocation and plenty of other healthy names say if you keep it under 400mgs a day, you're good. I hover around that. Sometime lower, usually higher....but balanced, honest!

*Instantly googles Fantastic Mr Fox* George Clooney! I sound like George Clooney??? I wish I looked like him...in his slightly younger days. 😂 Thanks!

Here you go! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9l1We0q9S2Q.html

I was never a fan of the original flavor, but I think they've done a good job with a lot of their other flavors/lines. The Xdurances were all really good. The Pure zeroes were mostly good. The only Pure ero I didnt like that much was the watermelon BUT they just replaced the watermelon with a Watermelon Kiwi which is much much better (in my opinion) and their new releases have been pretty good lately too. So, for the sugar free, Im a fan. For the people who like sugary drinks, they are some of the highest sugar contents out of most energy drinks, so they have all their bases covered. Theres a reason why they were the 3rd ranked energy drink for decades...but unfortunately got bumped to 4th place by Bang. I think if Pepsi plays its card right, they definitely have a chance to take that 3rd place spot, but it is going to be one heck of a competition since Bang is trying to take the #2 spot (but never will).

@@CaffeineMan1 I really like the thermo marshmallow, I’ve been drinking that for the past few days and it’s really good.
