This is the original energy drink. Old school and way before Red Bull.
Red Bull basically stole this drink and carbonated it.

Yeah $2 a can but after trying Amp I just can't go back to Mt Dew 🙁
 
I like Rockstar Juice (mango and passion fruit) the best. It also has 70% juice so it's probably slightly better for you than other non low carb energy drinks.

Amp comes in second followed by Monster and Jolt. The original Rockstar and Red Bull rank pretty close to the bottom but the worst is definitely Sobe No Fear. That sh!t tastes like rotten fruit.
 
My real favorite is Arizona Ice-tea Silver Bullets, but out of your choices I'll take Red Bull because of the small can.
 
Lets keep it to the base brands, not stuff like Rockstar Zero carb vs standard and stuff to keep the poll from getting too big. Personally, I prefer rockstar 🙂
 
Monster is good just cause i can get it $1 a can in bulk from costco. Don't like Monster Khaos.

The blue full throttle I really like, but i can't find it in multipack. The other full throttles (regular, fury, etc.) blow.

Amp is ok, but not worth it since as mentioned, can't find it in multipack.

NOS is ok, but same problem as Amp.

Red bull is good, but too much for little cans.

Don't care for rockstar, rockstar juiced, TAB, red jak, various sobe, etc. I'm sure there is more i've forgotten about.


I've also tried alcoholic energy drinks (tilt, charge), but don't like them.
 
Is Monster green much like Amp? My problem is that Amp actually tastes pretty good and I haven't tried another enegry drink that does. Most taste like sweaty man-ass.
 
Fruit juice - lotsa liquid and sugar. I can drink it by the gallon so it keeps me awake by incessant drinking. Plus, the sugar gives me extra calories without caffeine to mess with my head. Win-win situation all around!
 
Amp's official site proves there is in fact a multi-pack sold, but I still can't find it sold anywhere here. Amazon has failed me, selling only a couple energy drinks and I am not buying something called Pimpjuice.
