Down the drain

[-] sictransitgloria@hexbear.net 30 points 1 week ago

ik I'm about to say this to a bunch of treat demons but... you know monster is owned by coke and coke is on like every BDS list ever, right?

[-] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

That's why you shoplift it from a chain think-about-it

[-] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

You probably shouldn't shoplift it, either: Stores already factor losses/shrink into the price, so unless an item gets shoplifted so often (e.g. through a coordinated effort) that stores just stop stocking it, all that will actually happen is (1) the store will just buy more to restock; (2) the act of shoplifting provides data about demand for the product; (3) you still promote brand recognition.

Shoplifting Monster is still preferable to buying it, but the real best thing to do is to either switch to a different energy drink brand, or perhaps for your own wellbeing to cut out energy drinks entirely.

FUCK

GODDAMMIT

Edit: It feels bad to unwittingly break BDS, at least cutting this out of my diet will be a good thing.

魔爪, not 怪物

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

They're all so bad I can't imagine thinking one is the best

[-] Dr_Pepper@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

They almost all taste the same and they never say what the 'flavors' actually are.

[-] rubber_chicken@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

For a daily driver, zero ultra. For an occasional treat (or a pairing as recommended by your Monsterlier) green. Do they not get Ultra Violet where you are? That's one of my favorites and is this morning's breakfast.

[-] cosmosaucer@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

do you actually drink it daily lmao

because ive been doing that for a few months n im starting to get chest pain n nosebleeds so i must be weak

means i either have to stop or keep going to build up tolerance, probably the latter

also ultra violet is indeed goated

[-] rubber_chicken@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

Not anymore -- I've been cutting back since I learned (thanks to Mexico's labeling laws) that it's really high in sodium. The caffeine isn't off the charts if you're replacing coffee/tea but you might want to get a checkup or at least check your BP.

[-] Sabbo@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

White Devil. It's like a white monster, but you can only find them on indigenous lands

I just knew somebody in this thread would give me a reason to share this

Screencap of a conversation on the chat service Discord. Person 1 says, "Which monsters actually taste good? Are there any?" to which person 2 replies, "Huh? Like, their cum? Their cocks?" to which person 1 retorts, "Monster. The drink."

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

lol, I'm afraid you're too late. For I have already depicted myself as the Chad smut books enjoyer and yourself as the Virgin energy drink consumer.

[-] Sneakytrickyyy@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

I stopped drinking it because I found out it's BDS

stuff

[-] ClassIsOver@hexbear.net 6 points 6 days ago

This is me finding out now. I've been drinking it fairly regularly for work.

[-] XxFemboy_Stalin_420_69xX@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

miss me with that poison tbh. i drink water, coffee, tea and booze and that's it

[-] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

What, like their cocks?

Oh, you mean the energy drink?

Idk, even when I was addicted they all tasted bout the fucking to be same. Mild differences at best.

[-] Meltyheartlove@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

friend-visitor-2 The shrek one

[-] Tabitha@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

is that the one where they measure caffeine in rads?

[-] BioWarfarePosadist@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

The white one because it tastes like battery acid and gasoline, but makes me feel normal when I don't have ADHD meds.

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The mango one.

I only get energy drinks once in a blue moon though. Caffeine is one of the most addictive substances and I’ve done a good job avoiding it. Still like the battery acid taste of energy drinks though so it’s a guilty pleasure

[-] roux@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

Ultra Fiesta. I can't find it anymore and it was my favorite.

[-] erik@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

The reformulated zero sugar one that tastes a lot like the OG monster is my go to when I still get it. But I've moved on Celsius since I "make" my own at home now with a home carbonizer.

[-] BGDelirium@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

Yup Zero Sugar green or OG when I can't find the former. Ultra Violet and Zero Sugar White slap too

[-] Wake@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

Zero ultra. Though I haven’t been able to drink any energy drinks in a few months since I went back on vyvanse.

[-] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

It all tastes the same to me

white, but simply for the meme potential and because it looks like cum. this garbage all tastes the same and i'm honestly glad i'm not using caffeine atm.

[-] Chana@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

You see this is why you should switch to OLOSMAD: One Liter of Soy Milk a Day. Like me.

soy-chill

Lando Norris

[-] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

i like the green one and the purple one

[-] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

Peach for sure

[-] uSSRI@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

They used to make a Moscow mule one that was heavenly. Lando Norris is my new favorite.

Making an actual Moscow mule with monster energy should be a magic potion that immediately teleports you to rehab

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago
[-] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

yeah this one with day of the dead graphics

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

That's the one. It kinda sucks that it's not sugar-free, but damn is it not tasty, tasty heart palpitations in a can.

[-] Dr_Pepper@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

I used to drink the sugar free white can in a darker time of my life.

[-] cattish@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

I like the violet one because of the color. catgirl-heart It tastes good too.

[-] BimboChristmas@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

The apple one is the worst kind of sugary garbage but it tastes like a fizzy caffeinated snapple so I kinda like it.

Also the lando and the passionfruit one and the ruby one.

Regular monster is not good but it is the best vodka chaser on earth - completely neutralizes that shit.

[-] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

Tangerine Mango Guava Strawberry Rockstar

[-] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

whichever one I didn't get last time around (time span: 2-20 weeks depending on sleep deprivation level)

[-] mrfugu@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

I like the peach one

[-] dragongloss@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

Peach zero, but it is on the BDS list because of Coca-cola's stake in the company. I am now drinking off brand energy drinks. T^T
