Monster Juice: Mango Loco

★★★★★

This is one of my favorites. The Juice line is a gold mine, and Mango Loco is the crown jewel. Easy drinking, with the perfect level of sweetness, making each sip taste like a big bite of a juicy mango. If you want to develop a caffiene addiction, this is a good place to start.

Full Throttle: Original Citrus

★★★★☆

The motto sounds like it was written by someone who owns a lifted truck and the can has the most American branding I've seen in my life, but honestly, it works. Unlike some energy drinks designed with flavor first, this one tastes like the flavor was the second thing they created. That's not a bad thing, but it is kinda confusing. Yes it tastes like citrus, but it is extremely unclear what kind. It tastes more like the word citrus than any fruit containing citrus. But somehow, that confusion makes it better! The caffiene packs a punch, and it tastes pretty damn good. One star removed for the unclear origin of the flavor.

Monster: Ultra Blue Hawaiian

★★★☆☆

Despite being a depressed emo boy with an unhealthy addiction to Monster, I'm usually not a fan of the Ultra series. Hawaiian though, is the sole exception. It has a really nice tropical flavor, though I can't really place what the fuck it tastes like. Overall, it's okay, but just that. Two stars have been deducted for a hint of mystery chemicals under the main flavors. Well, ok, different mystery chemicals than they put into regular Monster.

Any Flavor Of Red Bull

☆☆☆☆☆

A lot of people like Red Bull, and I have no idea why. Every flavor I've tried tastes like gasoline from an alternate timeline where fossil fuels are designed to be edible. But hey! Their slogan is right. Red Bull will give you wings; because the taste alone will send your soul flying off to the beyond. I'm being a little dramatic here, and most of this review is a hyperbole, but that doesn't change the fact that Red Bull is just plain nasty.

Monster: Ultra Violet

★★★☆☆

Any 2000's kid will remember pixie sticks. Paper tubes filled with flavored sugar. Ultra Violet tastes a lot like those fuckers. It's a combined flavor of grape pixie sticks with a hint of Nerds; The candy, not the kind you find in a library. We all know the score. Grape flavored things taste nothing like grapes, but they sure as hell taste like purple. Ultra Violet is no different. 1 star was deducted for the recurring flavor of mystery chemicals that come with the Ultra flavors, and the other star because I stubbed my toe after I opened the can (I think the can was haunted, and blame the incident on the factory that was careless enough to leave a ghost trapped in a can.) Over all, I would probably drink this flavor again if I got tired of my usual go-to energy drinks.
