I’m seeing influencers advertise these everywhere. Are these actually good?
Grilled is the best

If you enjoy what’s essentially lightly carbonated and highly caffienated sugar water, then they’re pretty good.

White Monster is highly caffeinated artificial sweetener water, it’s sugar-free.

Good? No. Fine if you want to not sleep for a concerning amount of time, and better than coke zero because it’s got more caffeine per caffeine.
SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
If you want heart palpitations.

Compared to the amount of coffee a lot of people drink, these aren’t that bad. There’s no sugar at least.
A standard run of the mill large coffee has more caffeine than one of these, and people guzzle those down.

White Monster (pictured) tastes like… orange pop that’s less sweet, much more citrus and has something else going on akin to saltiness at the same time; maybe it’s an umami-flavour. It is genuinely delicious. I have now tried the rest of the Monster line-up and despised them, they are all fit for the pit. I haven’t tried any other energy drink.

I prefer the pink cans. But they’re okay for an energy drink.
Tattorack@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I don’t get the appeal. It tastes like energy drink flavour.
With so many funny and interesting flavours monster and most other energy drinks have, choosing the basic energy flavour is just bland.

White Monster? Pretty good. Better than Red Bull for sure. But the best Monster for me is the ice tea flavored one.

I love the whole “this vegan shit is easy” meme format

Bacon wrapped white monster is the shit.

Doesn’t monster energy contain taurine?
Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 3 weeks ago
Yes but don’t be fooled by the name: Taurine is called like that only because it was first discovered in bulls but it’s present and produced by many other animals and micro organism; as much as i know most of the taurine is today produced either by synthesis or by harvesting what some micro organisms produce
toomanypancakes@crazypeople.online 3 weeks ago
They use a synthetic taurine, but yes they do.

Sodas and energy drinks actually aren’t vegan. Something about animal gelatin being used in production?
Chev@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
If you live in a first world country, living vegan is honestly not a problem at all. And of course I’m not counting the US here. These guys are just poor people that are challanged enough already.

It’s actually cheaper in the US, to note. The lowest income groups in the US are the one exactly the most likely to be vegan or plant-based
nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks ago
That’s a polite way to say living on rice and beans is a healthy choice.
Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 3 weeks ago
I mean, your country can be rich but it does not mean it’s eash being vegan in all first world countries and even if it is, there is still an economic impact on going vegan that poorer people cannot afford
Baleine@jlai.lu 3 weeks ago
Being vegan is much cheaper
usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
The lowest income groups are actually the most likely to be vegan and eat the least meat, dairy, etc. around the world. The lowest income countries eat the least animal products
