This never made sense considering you can literally order this at any bar (Vodka + Red Bull).

I didn't say it made sense.. there was some news saying people were drinking them like beer and causing "issues".

I used to drink sparks and fight people in my college days. it was wild because you'd be black out drunk, but not passing out because of the stimulant effect. Truly wacky poo poo. I'm kinda glad it's banned. There isn't really anything good that comes of those drinks. They never even tasted good either.

A vodka and redbull would be like 5 bucks and would be one drink serving. A 4 loko was a gentleman's 4 drinks and 2 dollars.

I bought something that seems to be called Sprecher's Charged Lemonade at a dollar store today. I am just a sucker for anything billed as lemonade and also for weird poo poo at the dollar store, though they are never good. Is this thing gonna be any good.

The local grocery store across the street rang up the four packs as a singular can (1.49). We bought them out every week when they restocked them, until they finally noticed the error 3 months later.

Fun summer, but it also didn't usually end well

It would help if I wasn't so dead-set against the energy drink taste they all seem to share. I don't feel like spending three buck on something I'm going to take a single sip of and pour out, so I don't experiment much. I've probably missed out on dozens of drinks that I'd like - but jesus loving christ, that energy drink taste is loving foul.

the nasty bitter taste that that is common across many energy drinks is added on purpose. there is no scientific or manufacturing problem that is preventing the creation of energy drinks that taste good; it's all because the people making the drinks position them that way for marketing and sales reasons. one fun reason (sorry i don't have a link handy) is that the bitter chemical taste has been studied scientifically, and the finding was that many people who drink an energy drink report feeling more energized when the drink has the nasty taste vs. when the drink doesn't have it

anyway here are some brands of energy drinks that are my preferred "dont taste like rear end" drinks. most of these i have only tried because i often just buy whatever is the the cheapest per-can-price multipack at the store. i think all of these are either zero sugar or very low sugar:

ZOA. my favorite flavor is Tropical Punch, because it tastes almost exactly like Hawaiian Punch. the other flavors I have tried are Orange and White Peach, which are fine but i like them less than the punch. these also are "less sweet" to me than some other no-sugar drinks.

C4. i like the strawberry guava one. i have tried a couple others and they are ok. this brand seems to be massively sweet no matter which flavor it is

Monster. i once found a multipack that had strawberry, watermelon, and peach. these were all really good but i liked the strawberry one the best. i don't buy it often because i'm a cheapskate and i don't see it on sale a whole lot

Red Bull. the original "red edition" flavored red bull had sugar, but man it was my favorite. it used to be my little treat when i was productive running errands and i would reward myself by grabbing one at the checkout line at whatever store i was in that had it. buuut it no longer exists :(

I don't want to be one of those people who mocked the coffee burn woman but honestly I stand with Panera, if you can die due to having too much caffeine you should probably not consume energy drinks, even accidentally

Rockstar for a while had Orange and Strawberry whip flavors that tasted like, well, orange and strawberry whip and I really liked those but I guess no one else did since I can't ever find them anymore.

my brother in arms

they were discontinued for a while and most places never put them back on the shelves (rockstar in general seems to have a real fuckin small grocery/convenience store footprint) when they came back, but you can get twelve packs of both flavors on amazon

i'm also the only one who actually liked the weird loving sunkist/a&w "floats" they used to have where they basically just watered down sodas with milk but goddamnit i loved them

You could also buy them at gas stations. Ten years ago I would visit one of my friends some weekends and liquor stores all closed at 7 out where they were. We’d just walk to the gas station and get the nerfed 4Lokos and get obliterated while we played PS4. I still get nauseous when I smell artificial watermelon.

Jolt Cola had a similar flavor 20 years ago. The only way I could describe it was “it tastes like blue”.

I haven’t had a monster ultra blue since 2020 sadly, I worked a job that had a monster vending machine and I would buy like three cans a day from that thing.
