Monster Energy Drink Review
Well yesterday I reviewed a fairly new drink called Kabbalah Energy Drink so today I thought I would go with a classic and do a Monster Energy Drink review. Now I have had this drink a bunch of times before but I never posted how I really felt about it so now is a good as time as any. This is the review of the orignal Monster Energy Drink, but I have reviewed several others including their shot. The complete list of products reviewed so far are (stay tuned for more to come):

Monster Hitman - Energy Shooter
Khaos
M-80
Lo-Carb
Assault

Monster Energy Drink, 16-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24)

Monster Energy Drink Review: Taste
This sweet tasting citrus drink has been improved since it's original debut but it is still not the greatest offering even though this new Monster has less of a medicinal taste that you normally get with all the additives like taurine, ginseng, caffeine and Guarana that are associated with energy beverages. Another thing about this drink is that it comes in 16 ounces vs. the regular 8 ounces that you get with "bullet drinks." And since Monster Energy tastes pretty good this is another benefit because if it did not taste good it would be next to impossible to finish all 16 ounces. Overall I will give the Monster review for taste an above average 8.5. The citrus flavor is pretty good.

UpdateNow comes in 8.4 ounce, 16 ounce, 24 ounce and 32 ounces

Monster Energy Drink Review: Kick
Alright this bad boy comes in 16 ounces and you get 8.75mg per ounce of pure energy. This is not a huge number but when you compare it to Red Bull's 9.64 mg in 8 ounces you know you are getting what you pay for. So this drink has relatively the same amount of caffeine per ounce as Red Bull but you get a drink that is twice the size. I would have to say that this bad boy can pack a pretty decent punch and will give it 8.8 out of 10 for kick. If you really like the taste of this drink they make an XXL version that is 23.5 ounces for only about a dollar more. That bad boy should pack a ton of energy and you might need it to carry a drink that large!

Monster Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
We have established that the can is big and that it packs a pretty decent kick. The price is average at right around $2.00 per can, but since you can buy it almost anywhere you can find bulk deals where you can get a case for around $35.00. You end up paying around $1.50 per can which is a pretty good savings. I do have a little beef with this drink only because it does not mix as well with vodka as Red Bull does and since it comes in a 16 ounce can more bars are carrying it because it is cheaper. But I won't let this beef affect my final judgment and I will give this drink a good score of 8.7 as you get a good kick and good taste for your money! Just remember there are plenty of other options not only from this company but from 100's of others... so the original is good but don't forget about your other options.

    the khaos is worth it. instead of getting your sugars as crappy high fructose corn syrup, you get 70% real fruit juice. for those looking for a heathier drink without going over to the "no sugar" side.

  7. Best out there in terms of kick by far. The Taste takes a it gettig used to, but it's grown on me. The price is also great, but does vary by store. A regular sized(16 oz) monster is usualy $2.00, but can be $2.50. I have also seen the lager XXL cans for $2.50 up to $3.50. Honestly, this is my choice.

    Monster Lo Carb Energy drink is OK, nothing great. But they need a better rep for my area.

    On Thursday May 3rd this vendor by the name of Raul who works for Monster Energy Drinks comes into my job, I work retail. He has promotional posters for the Oscar de la Hoya fight. He asks the workers who wants one? I tell him that I do. He says he's not going to give me one because he doesn't want to contribute to my being gay. What??? Apparently giving me a poster of Oscar de la Hoya is gonna make me "more" gay. At first I thought he was kidding, but he wasn't. He then repeatedly tells me that I am SICK. SICK.

    Now I don't care if you're for or against gays, to each his own. But when you're driving a company van, wearing the company shirt with the picture of the product you're trying to promote, than I do expect to be respected as a consumer.

    Now this guy has come into my work many times for years and I've always gotten along with him, what his problem is all of a sudden I don't know, but I did not appreciate someone representing their product coming to my job verbally attacking me. It may sound ridiculous but I'll never drink his product again. To think that just the day before I had found his product buried in the stockroom and brought it out so that his product was well stocked.

    monster is the best drink on the market by far. the new M-80 has 10 less grams of sugar than Sobe NoFear thats 20 grams in all. the khaos is 70% fruit juice so u dont have to worry bout all those stupid chemicals you can't pronounce. lo carb i haven't tried yet. i try to stay away from reduced fat and lo carb =0. the original is my favorite so far because it gives a better energy kick and it has the best flavor. the assault has to be the coolest looking but i don't drink them that much. i started off drinking monster becayse the can looked the coolest and was the most popular and i do a little surfing and i know they sponsor a lot of that. so by far monster is the best.




    rockstar is okay i guess.

    This stuff doesn't taste too good and definitely isn't good with food (though I know it isn't intended to be consumed with a meal, don't try it regardless). It isn't the worst tasting drink out there, doesn't seem to taste medicinal but at least it is low on sugar compared to regular sodas.

    Also I wish they hadn't stopped making Josta, that was the best tasting soda ever made in the history of the planet. I'm looking into mixing my own because Pepsi is a failure at maintaining a good brand. Once I get the ingredients, I won't need any other brand of energy drink at all :)

    it says he "beefs" about it not mixing with vodka... r they retarded? u dont mix stimulants and depresssants unless u want to die.

    however if u drink 2 much energy drinks over a long period of time then u could have heart problems ( it happened 2 a firend of mine)


    i think it shud of gotten a 9.5 becaue its that awesome.

    I am going to put in a formal complaint to the Monster Company!! I believe if adults want to buy and drink it thats there choice. But I do not believe that a 10yr old can walk into a store and buy one. It says right on the can no one under age 18yrs should drink this. So I think that the stores need to do something about young children purchasing this crap...By the way look up the ingrediants. Nasty shit...

    If you need energy, try getting exercise, enough sleep and a healthy diet that has real fruits, vegetables, whole grains and plenty of pure water. Drinks like this one are basically a drug. Drink it often enough and you will become dependent on it for feeling good. That's sad.

And i will say, i think the blue agave full throttle is better in taste in my opinion. And a few other ones taste better. Koolah in my opinion is the best tasting energy drink ever. But monster still owns.

    You can get a 24 pack for around $27 at sams club but you will need membership.

    Also, though it does not mix well with alcohol, it is kick A$$ with food. I cannot have dinner or lunch without a monster, it makes me more content than without. Try it.
    And about the health, I have had around 350 cans in the past 2 1/2 years and i have not had any negative effects from monster. Just drink plenty of water (to prevent kidneystones), dont drink more than 3 a day (may have heart palpations and youll start to freak out and all that caffiene will give you moodswings) and you should be fine. -William

    i drink 4 to 5 within a 12 hour period for 3 days straight every other 3 days, so its 3 days no monsters and 3 days on monsters, i prolly spend $20 a day on these fuckers when im drinking them, they keep me awake and ready to do my fucking boring shit ass of a suicide motivation tool called sometimes by stupid fucks, a job.

    mosters' made a name for itself, theyre rich, now plz lower the price, you could raise the price and id still buy them but as a stupid loyal customer, do me a favor and save me atleast 25cents a can.

I have a pretty well refined pallet and I know my energy drinks. This one is terrible! Period

    I am 16 and a monster adict. I know its insanely bad for me but I drink it anyways. I have ADHD so the energy drink doesn't effect my body in the way it reacts. I have overdosed on the energy drink before and ended up going crazy and slipped on sheet metal which ended me up in the hospital getting 11 stitches on my knee. I really don't recommend this for anyone younger than 16 because it really will cause you severe pain or death if consume to much but if your 16 then drink it because it really is a tasty drink(for most people). Ya, it does have a unique taste to it but I like it. I also had to by a shirt and a hat because I support and drink it so much. I'm a die hard fan for monster and when I'm 18 I want to get a small monster erergy drink logo tattoo if I'm still into it as I am now. I am going to rate this product a 9.5 only because it makes me burp alot after I drink its a non pleasant smell. You shouldn't hate on monster though because its our choice to drink it. For everyone on this website that wants to hate the product you should just leave now and save 3-5 minutes of your life.

    Everyone has the right to put whatever they want into their body, even if it could have long term health effects...it's your choice, but I agree with the comment about these energy drinks should not be accessible to young children and even teens. Plus, the effects this stuff has on your body has not been researched enough to be approved by the FDA. My 17 year old son, average size, athelitc build, had 1 Monster Citrus drink last night for the first time and he has been sick all day...chest pains, racing heart and headache this morning and he's had diarrhea at least 20 times today and that's no exaggeration. And, no, he did not mix alcohol with it. It is probably due to his low tolerance for caffeine. He's not a coffee drinker and drinks caffeine free sodas when he drinks them. Most people may be able to endure just 1 can of this monstrous stuff and even withstand an addiction to it, but beware if you're not used to caffeine. From what I've read in the articles, the loads of sugar in this stuff can act as a laxative. The chest pains and racing heart subsided this morning. He will be going to the doctor to be checked out. I've gotten mixed reactions to my theory that the 1 can of the Monster Energy drink caused my son to go through these effects, but he has no health problems, takes no prescription medications and it is my belief that this 1 can has caused these side effects. Like I said, it may not affect everyone this way, but it did him.

    To whomever has the son with the bad side effects: why in the world would he drink a HIGH ENERGY drink when he never drinks caffeine? Of COURSE his body is going to have a fit and go into a state of shock! It's just not used to that sort of thing. The effects you described would probably have happened to him with a rapid intake of most other caffeinated beverages and should not be attributed only to the wonderful Monster energy drinks.

    alright, as far as taste goes, i love this drink. but i have anxiety and panic disorder, and i once drank it and it made my panic attacks 10x worse. not only that, it makes me so shakey. but after starting medication for my anxiety and whatnot, i was fine when drinking them. until...

    last saturday night, i bought a 'BFC' of monster. i drank the entire thing in under 4 hours with almost no food, only a few chips. i didn't go to sleep until 12AM! when i woke up, my head was pounding. scary thing is, it's monday and my head is STILL pounding. i couldn't even make it to school. even though i love this drink, i will never, EVER drink it again! if this headache doesn't go away by tomorrow, i'm going to have to go to the doctor -_-

    This Drink has become a very popular drink.. When I drank one for the first time a Long time ago, I thought it was the most discusting drink ive ever drank in my life.. But then for some reason I had the erge to buy it again one day.. Then from that day on.. Monster Energy was my Drink Of Choice, Me and my cousin and friends would always drink this and have good times... Years later I'm still drinking it and the second it touches my lips I get a flashback of all the good times ive had all those years.. Gives me a warm feeling inside and I love to introduce this drink to MonsterVirgins Its like telling someone the meaning of life.. It is in fact a very sugary drink but very tasty till the very last drop and the aftertaste of every gulp.. All the other types of Monster are just.. Meh but its worth trying them once, cause hidden inside is the same great taste you find inside the original.. 10/10 Not soo much a Blast of Caffiene but a nice buzz for in the mornings at school, and at night chillin to some easy tunes.. Now If you want a Quick Jolt I'd Recommend RedBull, but if thats too CAtpissy for you then jsut drink a Full Throttle or ... I wrote a review on my Experience with this already but If you want a Cocaine/Shroom feeling then a Bottle of Redline Energy Drink will do the Trick.. but be carefull..

    I can honestly say that I would not be able to get through my day without Monster. As an "overrextended" high school student, I'm lucky to get 4 hours of sleep. Young for my grade, (a 15 year old Junior in high school) I depend on feet to get me where I need to go, since my mother works. Constantly in motion, or doing homework, or just being stressed out, and not eating simply because I lack the time, I think that my personal benifits from this drink outway the potential risks.

    However, I advise everyone -especially junior high and high schoolers- to only drink energy drinks when you absolutely need them. Although not many studies have yet been conducted, they're most likely bad for your health. I however, have been addicted sense the seventh grade, and my +4.0 gpa and high standing in extra curriculars is dependant upon my constant -as well as consistent- energy.

    I love the taste of monster, but as with everything I do it in moderation and urge all to do so. I do one or two every couple of weeks. One day I had a five our energy drink two monsters and a cocaine energy drink and was still exhausted, they just don't seem to work for me. my drinks of choice are definetly water and unsweet tea. Cocaine energy drink was not good and It kind of burned going down. I will not hate on anyone for what they like to drink but go easy on anything not natural. Rock on with the monster guys.

    Monster, despite the marketing, isn't quite as 'monstrous' as one might think. Eight ounces of drip coffee has approx. 145 mg of caffeine. 16 oz. of Monster has only 160 mg. After a lot of research, I recently began giving Monster to my ADHD 8-yr-old son because he doesn't care for coffee, but caffeine (a stimulant that's safely been in use for just about forever) helps him function better with fewer side effects than ADHD medications (amphetamines). There are several encouraging studies examining the effect of caffeine on ADHD. Several of the other ingredients -- B vitamins, taurine, L-Carnitine, Guarana, and Inisitol -- have also been positively associated with reduction of ADHD symptoms. Although I would not regularly allow a 'normal' child access to energy drinks, it can be a good option for parents of ADHD kids who would like to experiment with caffeine therapy but whose children don't care for coffee.

    I've had the BFC (32 Oz.) which I bought for an outrageous 5 dollars for (but it was at a gas station so I can't really say anything) among other Monster drinks such as Green and Lo-Carb. I've yet to try the Imports. The BFC and it's brother 32 oz. both already taste like beer with a buzz but without the hangover. The Lo-Carb was great tasting and seemed to last forever though it was a 16 oz. But my absolute favorite had to have been the Monster Assualt. This Camo Can is in 16 Ounce form and is the best tasting energy drink I've tasted to date. Not only is it refreshingly sweet compared to the other Monsters, but It even has a great description on the back! All in all, Monster is an amazing brand and never ceases to wow me with new flavors. But the one real question is, do energy drinks really give you energy? I could drink 4 or 5 a day and then stop drinking them for a week and all I would feel is a craving for the taste of them again. I'm not dissing the Monster company or any other energy drink manufacturer but Really, do they work or is it just the placebo effect that is written on the front in big letters stating "ENERGY SUPPLEMENT"

    I know energy drinks are not good for you, but neither are soda, chips, candy, cake, cookies, pie, french fries, ice cream, or snack cakes. It's okay to consume these once in a while, but remember: everything in moderation, including moderation. :P

    Monster Energy has changed my life forever. I started drinking it when I was 20 years old. I first started out with Red Bull but I hated the medicine taste and it gave me serious chest pains. I still drink it today if it wasn't for Monster Energy I would have never gotten my ged nor my Masters in College. My sex life has improved dramatically and my wife is happy. Im able to keep up with my kids and stay alert at all times. I drink one can a week. I get regular check ups from my heart doctor and everything is normal. I am a person with sensitivity to caffeine so one 16oz a week is all I need. I was able to keep my weight still for 10 years. Im now 30 years old and I still feel like im 20. Im a responsible drinker when it comes to drinking monster. Its my cup of coffee. I consider it way better than coffee.
