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 2 months ago

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

[-] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

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

[-] Dr_Pepper@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

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

[-] rubber_chicken@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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.

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 2 months 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.

[-] Sabbo@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Sneakytrickyyy@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

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

stuff

[-] ClassIsOver@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

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

[-] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months 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.

[-] XxFemboy_Stalin_420_69xX@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[-] Tabitha@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

is that the one where they measure caffeine in rads?

[-] BioWarfarePosadist@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months 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 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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

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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months ago

It all tastes the same to me

Lando Norris

[-] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

i like the green one and the purple one

[-] SerialExperimentsGay@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

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 2 months ago

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

soy-chill

[-] Athena5898@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Down the drain

[-] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Peach for sure

[-] cattish@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

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

[-] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

I like the peach one

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

yeah this one with day of the dead graphics

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months 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.

[-] uSSRI@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months 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

[-] BimboChristmas@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

Tangerine Mango Guava Strawberry Rockstar

[-] Dr_Pepper@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

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