Monster vs RedBull

EL02

For me, a small sugar free Red Bull will actually give me a boost in energy and not a sugar crash.

 

Personally, I wish companies like Monster and Red Bull would release carbonated drinks with the various flavours they make, but without the "energy" giving benefit. I often times crave a Red Bull at 1am but would like to go back to sleep afterward.

Monster had a zero caffeine version a while back i think.

If I have to pick one of those two, Monster. There's more flavors, plus the Java ones are awesome.

I generally don't drink energy drinks though. They're absolutely horrible for you.

I used to get 4-packs of Monster Zero, having not more than one a day, but started to get a weird feeling in my chest so I stopped getting it. I now rarely get other flavours of it. Some I like more than others, but I don't have them often enough to know which is which.

 

Red bull I haven't had in ages, by itself or with something else. Last one was probably as part of a Jager bomb... before that, TVRs. I wouldn't choose to have it by itself nowadays.

 

I do like carbonated drinks in general, although the recent push to "sugar free" ones don't sit well with me probably due to side effects from the sweeteners used.

OG flavors of both suck.

 

Ultra Sunrise vs Pear or Peach tho? Thats a hell of a decision.

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)

I prefer Red Bull over Monster, but due to price differences, I buy Monster. I even prefer 'AMP' (by those that make Mountiain Dew) over Monster. I do like Monster Coffee though, that Kona blend or Irish Creme. Honestly

 

Where I'm at: 8oz. Red Bull is $2.50, 16oz. Monster is essentiall $2.00 ($1.89), and AMP usually is around $1.49 so they're on par with 20oz. sodas which are $1.79.

I prefer the white with blue m monster. And the summer blends of redbull. But overall monster is better. When I'm not drinking those then mnt dew game fuel, or gamersups.

Especially fresh ginger lemon tea.  Add a bit of ground turmeric which gives a nice little kick to it.
