Monster vs RedBull

EL02

Any monster but the original, and just the original red bull.

(For monster, the white dragon tea is probably my favorite, followed by the other "teas")

 

I enjoy them both but if I had to choose... I really enjoy the taste of the original red bull but I rarely actually buy them. Maybe 2 to 3 times a year. Back in college it was a bit more often than that :P

Neither, G-Fuel all the way :P

Mostly because I can't stand carbonation.

I prefer Red Bull out of these 2, but I drink it only if decent cup of coffee is unavailable.

Monster because I can get a zero calorie, zero carb version in one of those giant cans that has a threaded lid.

 

But if I had to grab an energy drink it's going to be one of the green apple/sour apple flavored ones from either Rockstar or Reign.

As I sit here, typing this post; I've just cracked open my Lo-Carb Monster. I drink one daily, but have been known to drink the Loca Mocha flavored version often :P

Coffee for breakfast, coffee for lunch. However this thread wasn't asking about favorite caffeinated beverages.

But I agree that Coffee is best!

Neither. Don’t drink those type of beverages. Because I don’t want to have a heart attack. Knew a guy once who had that happen due to drinking too many monsters. Plus all that shit tastes like medicine. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

Neither, price to performance sucks.  I buy knockoff Mio Energy water enhancer.  Chock full of caffeine, costs less than $3 a bottle, and lasts me around 5 days.  Way better than monster or red bull. 

 

And I drink coffee all day long right beside it.

$1.3 for one intake of caffeine vs $2.5 for 5-10 intakes of caffeine.  Price to performance, I get the same buzz...extrapolated out over time for less money.  Its not that I cant afford it, but its like buying an HEDT chip today.  Why?

Ahhh, I know very few people who say energy drinks taste good, including myself.  Mio Energy (and the knockoffs) make drinking water Great Again. ;)  Tastes great compared to a carbonated energy drink imho.
