Monster or Rockstar?

I prefer coffee.


But I have had red bull a couple of times before, it tastes kinda like orange pop. If I drank pop, it would be one of my favorites.

My Fiancee likes red bull mixed with Jagermeister. I tried it, and it ruined a perfectly good glass of jagermeister. Jager is much better on the rocks or neat.

Also, I am greatly amused by lots of the promotional stuff red bull does, races, etc ...
 
I used to drink a monster almost every morning. About a year ago I stopped cold turkey and feel a lot better. No more anxiousness and I lost ~15lbs over the summer and winter afterwards.
 
Rockstar, by far. If energy drinks were dinosaurs, Rockstar would be a T-Fucking-Rex. Monster wouldn't even be a dingleberry swingin back and forth as the T-Rex rips the face off a Bronto.
 
Neither.

Found these about a month ago and I really like them. It's either this or Rockstar Recovery for me.

Were you drinking the normal Monster drinks that don't have reduced calories?

Monster's white 0 cal ones are amazing. I used to drink Rockstar but I've mostly switched.

The Zero Ultra isn't too bad, but I'm more of a fan of the Absolute Zero (old can was black+blue; now it's just black). I've tried the blue and red ones (blueberry and cherry), but they're not as good. I like to mix Absolute Zero with vodka; that's good for you, right? :hmm:


An oldie but goodie! Although, most people don't get it when I quote it, but how could they miss gems like, "I'm attacking the darkness!" 🙁
 
I prefer coffee when I need a boost but every once in awhile I'll drink one of the Green Monsters. Don't care for the Rockstar flavors I've tried.
 
Monstar ... I mean, Monster

Monster's done their homework with the Ultra Red/White/Blue lineup. Surprisingly delicious for a zero-carb beverage. White/Zero Ultra tastes the best (grapefruity). Ultra Blue (blueberry?) and Ultra Red (cranberry) are good too. I stopped drinking them on a regular basis because I wasn't sure all that artificial sweetener was good for my glucose metabolism.

I'm not that familiar with the Rockstar line. Their lemonade Rockstar Recovery is good though, if you shake before quaffing. It's kind of low-calorie (20) for an energy drink and has no fizz to lose so you can take your time finishing it.

Last week a convenience store manager told me Xyience was going out of production. Not sure if she meant the whole brand or just the zero-carb offerings.
 
Real men get their energy from 4Loko. You guys need to stop being little bitches and have some malt beverage energy drank today! Available in Apple, Purple, and Salt flavors!

*This post was brought to you buy 4Loko, official drank of the FGC.
 
Im about to try a rockstar for the firs time D:

I'm nervous, I've alwayssss been a monster guy. Had a monster last night actually..
 
Not a lot of love for Rockstar huh? God I think it's like heaven. It's got kind of a tart flavor that I love. OM NOM NOM
