RED BULL.....Is it really the best? And what's with the good can/bad can thing???

Monster does sponser a lot of things too. It's just less "mainstream" stuff. There's the monster edition Kawasaki Ninjas that you can buy direct from the dealers. You're basically a walking billboard. My friend has the bike and it looks real clean.

Of course he downgraded from a zx10r that had tons of mods so I think he's regretting that decision lol.

Monster is the worst shit out there. I'm blown away by how every flavor is universally awful. Not a fan of Rockstar, either, with some exceptions. I drink the fruit punch stuff in the black can like crazy. Doesn't hurt that they've been 2/$3 for a while.

Full Throttle and original green Amp are probably favorites. Kinda like Red Bull mixed with Mountain Dew on both accounts.

Rip It has some decent flavors and it's hard to beat 99 cents. There's also a 'Venom' that's bottled by Dr Pepper, I think. The orange can is another tasty fruit punch flavor, and they're also 2 for 3 bucks.

Red Bull is, for some reason, pretty unique in its tart flavor. Not sure why there are no direct copies out there. But it's obscenely overpriced.

I tried it once. I didn't feel any more energetic. I think that a big glass of water, a cup of tea, and some light exercise would probably do people better.

Indeed. I still guzzle these things down like there's no tomorrow. :biggrin:

Red-Bull is weird. How are they REALLY at the top of the energy drink sales when their cans are THAT fucking small - yet still THAT fucking expensive. I would sooo much rather get a Monster, 2x the amount for less than 1 8oz redbull.

When I first saw Red Bull, there were only in boutique Asian super markets... they were sold in little bottles a little bigger than a Visine eye drop bottle and you drink it with a tiny straw. It was much stronger back then and I think they figured to dilute the formula and sold them for much more in the cans you see today + marketing = Gold in a can!
