  There’s not a hint of fruit in Monster. It’s caffeine and your choice of real or fake sugar. The white ones taste horrid, the only really tolerable one are the ones with real sugar.

    I like the mango/pineapple variants or even some of the red fruits ones (though I tend to find these too sweet). But I always have the sugar free versions and only when I’m taking long drives. Used to have red bulls before in these occasions so never really tried the regular monsters, switched when I randomly tried mango loco one time. Again though, definitely not an expert since I’ll have maybe 4 cans a year or something.

      I would kill for my mango loco monsters.

      Are they anything approaching healthy? no but I don’t really care since I assume something will probably kills me in the next few years.

    Oh monster energy drinks. Like in the OP pic. (Comment reply was so late I lost the context.) That makes more sense. No fruit smoothie there.

    Didn’t years ago Odwalla have something called green monster though?

    Quick ddg, looks like it was called “green machine.” If you are on the go and have to drink your breakfast, that’s the healthier way to do it.
