---

How else am I meant to crush n00bs on cod doe

---

i used to drink 9-10 cans a week when I Was working

An entire Monster themed store opened in the local mall.

---

You mean the super popular energy drink sold in like literally every store. No, absolutely no one does.

---

The original flavor? No. I can't do that (or anything with that amount of sugar)

However they make a Peach Iced Tea flavor that is non-carbonated, and has very little sugar and calories. Its absolutely one of my favorite drinks to treat myself to.

Their protein shake is also one of the better shakes I've had

---

Tried it once just to know what it's like. Tastes alright but it made me a bit dizzy. Never gonna try it again.
I doubt most people drank this on a regular basis. Hell, in esports, most of these cans are actually filled with water so players can still promote their sponsors without drinking this chemical sludge.

---

I used to have it pretty frequently in high school. Now, few times a year maybe when I have a specific craving for it come out of nowhere.

---

I'll grab one of the zero calorie ones on road trips sometimes. The original one is way too sweet and syrupy for me. But then, I can't even drink regular Gatorade because it's too sweet.

---

I know a guy who drinks almost exclusively Monster and Mountain Dew. I don't know how he still has teeth or a stomach lining.

Its original flavors suck. But theyve been making more colorful better tasting ones.

---

I like the zero calorie ones. The purple one to be specific. The originals leave my stomach hurting after

---

Yep. It's like liquid crack in a can. I try to limit myself to about 2 a week though.

---

It's my go to whenever there's gonna be a rager or I'm going clubbing/barhopping

I'd still like to know how Mountain Dew infiltrated nerd culture and became so commonly associated with it, that stuff is just gross

Have you tried Baja Blast or Sweet Lightning?

---

I dont drink them regularly because shits expensive but the ultra blue flavor is surprisingly tasty for a 0 calorie drink

---

I should try the zero calorie one as the original kinda carves up my stomach, but zero calorie stuff usually does that to me too lol

hey thats me

---

Occasionally I get the low carb one

---

I stopped drinking it because basically every other energy drink has more caffeine so whats the point?

I mainly only got the zero sugar/calorie ones. The Orange was probably my favorite but black cherry and grape were pretty good. None of the ones I tried were downright bad.

I've gone with mostly Bang and Reign lately for my energy drink needs.

---

I get the zero sugar green paradise flavor, it's pretty good.

It's my energy drink of choice the five times a year I need a boost to stay awake.

Marketing. With enough cash, you could even have your face commonly associated with nerd culture.

I used to drink the red rehab one. Havent had one in years. If I want something like that I usually just get a red bull.

I used to wake up at 3am, work an 8 hour shift and then needed to be at college for 6 hours at 12pm. I used to grab a Monster after work and drink it in the afternoon. I haven't had one since then though.

---

Yeah, but lately I've been going for Rock Star, Bang, and that other new one whose name escapes me. I usually get one of the Ultra flavors or Absolute Zero when I get Monster. The new ginger flavor is good too, but it's bad enough without all the sugar.

---

my whole brain is crying
---

yes the zero calorie cans act as a great mixer with vodka

---

Full throttle actually tastes better

---

Yup, love the flavor.

---

To me, monster has a terrible aftertaste. I prefer full throttle or Rockstar myself.

I miss livewire.

On topic, I prefer xyience, but the light blue no cal monster tastes amazing. Not fond of the green one.

The sugar free white cans, yeah. The originals hurt my stomach, too much sugar.

---

Hospital stocks sugar free monster and Red Bulls in the doctors lounge. I have one like every other day

---

I drink the Zero Ultra either for keto/IF when I want something besides coffee, or as a pre-workout.

---

I'll drink it for long drives

In my early 20s I did in the 2000s.

I'm 35, I just drink coffee now.

---

I grab a sugar free Monster every once in a while but like Reign as my energy drink of choice.

---

Original flavour only. I don't like the others.
---

I had a coworker who brought in like 2 huge cans of Monster and a soda every day to work

• He weighed like 400 lbs
• He spent almost half of his waking hours on the toilet
• He would usually crash and fall asleep every afternoon
• He took a lot of sick days
• He figured out his symptoms were stomach ulcers and catastrophically high blood pressure. He still had his Monsters when he told us.

Occasionally I'll be at various events and there will be a Monster-branded pickup truck there that's just handing out free cans from the bed, I'll take those, but I haven't actually bought a can in over a decade. I like the taste of the stuff, but it does nothing for me in terms of energy and probably isn't super healthy to drink anyway.

Same here. Can't pull a late night without one

---

i tried it once. it tastes like diabeetus. at least its what i imagine it tastes like...

Drank them near nightly back in uni. I don't need to stay up all night so there's no need for me to buy them and I haven't drank one in almost a decade now.

---

I work with a guy whose whole diet is monster. It's to the point that when he eats something real he gets epic diarrhea.
