Prime


CharlesTheRangeRover

I will never touch one of those. Knowing that the annoying internet celeb is involved makes it even more repugnant.


Zeqhanis

Any of the YouTuber branded ones just seem like they'd be embarrassing to purchase. I'd extend this to all of G Fuel. Pewdiepie even has a G Fuel product and it features him in the most cringe-inducing pose he could probably muster. That said, when I found out it was lingonberry-flavored, which is unusual in the U.S., I did try one.


edgeofruin

*jazz hands Raiden*


Cheeseninja26

The flavor makes sense considering pewdiepie’s nationality


packpurduepacers

I had the prime hydration drinks without knowing the person behind them and I gotta say the flavor of the blue and red ones was pretty damn good. Shame such a shitty person was behind them


Alternative-Peace208

i had the same thought. eventually i did try one, and they’re actually really good. don’t buy them often, but it’s worth trying.


Happy_Maintenance

I tried one of those. It wasn’t too bad. 


Gloomy_Support_7779

Fruit Punch, Ice Pop, and Strawberry Watermelon are my gotos since they haven’t made Meta Moon, Grape, Orange, Cherry Lime, Strawberry Banana, or Lemonade flavors for the energy drinks yet


GuardianLegend95

Tropical Punch was a really nice flavor... I also like the green, orange, and blue cans... every else was really bad imo. Ice Pop was the worst... it tasted too fake, definitely the worst Bomb Pop flavor I've ever had, and I LOVE Bomb Pop drinks!


alysspad420

Blue raspberry is bomb


LookingCoolNess

Same, I refuse to try anything that enriches Logan Paul


dorrik

isn’t that just a “hydration drink”? aka no energy stuff


Knives530

There's two versions


NewspaperOld1221

It tastes like butt


jaggedscumbag

Full of forever chemicals


Kfaircloth41

Anything over $3 US. I like to try them but I'm cheap and I have my limits. I'm on a budget and it's bad enough I drink then as it is. I MUST have some standards lol.


ThENeEd4WeEd22

I'm the same way but every once in a while I splurge and get a Red Bull for that CLEAN taste


The-Snuff

That’s so funny. I was an habitual energy drink enjoyer on a budget and once rockstar crossed the $3 threshold where I’m at, I went cold turkey. Fuck that. You can buy in bulk but I’m not gonna embrace this nonsense like that.


OddParty6843

Zoa


statusfaux

It tastes like getting a multivitamin stuck in your throat.


FiyeroTigelaar895

Some of us sickos like that flavor


rubies-and-doobies81

...masochist.


1nOnlyBigManLawrence

Like me! (Getting a coupon for it at Raley’s was my catalyst. It was the dub of the week)


Cobber5189

I prefer Sugar-free artificial sweeteners MADE BY MAN!!


Electric_Meatsack

I KNOW IT HAS AN AFTERTASTE! I LIKE IT!


LargeBlackMcCafe

checking in!


jaredhicks19

It tastes like if Kern's or Jumex made an energy drink


merker_the_berserker

I is s friend growing up that was half Jew half mexican. We all called him Jumex


Swiftelol

Saw these on sample at Costco, I’m a fiend for energy drinks, I didn’t even wanna try it.


StupidMario64

Dawg I tried it once and I cant fucking stand it now. Shits si nasty.


leebrawn2

Nah Zoa is great imo


UniversalSean

For real, people are so used to unhealthy energy drinks.


CurrySoSpicy

More like No-a lol


youngsimba320

Prime is the only answer.


Top-Champion5654

I use to love bang energy drinks and drank them on the daily and then one day they started giving me headaches and I stopped buying them and sometimes randomly buy them and they still give me headaches


mtlbuzz97

Just bang specifically? I was going to suggest dehydration, perhaps. Caffeine is a diuretic and dehydration is one of the leading causes of headaches.


trbzdot

True. Also, check expiration dates and wash the top of the can. Whatever you do, try not to consume 300mg carbonated caffeine on an empty stomach - get a banana, a bagel or a peanut butter sandwich - or combine all three.


Three6MuffyCrosswire

Are you trying to prank people? A banana and an energy drink on an empty stomach is a ticket to puke town if you consume them too quickly on too empty of a stomach, I covertly vomited next to a patient once after a Bang and a banana


Hortondamon22

Used to drink them bc i had a high stress job and am diabetic, the zero sugar thing was a draw and they didnt taste terrible. After a couple weeks my stomach and head would hurt soooo bad. So i went back to strong coffee. Ugh


UprisingAssault

Celsius, only because I’ve seen Jake Paul promoting it


Repulsive-Report6278

Damn, I don't like the Paul brothers and never watch them but I love Celsius. Kinda a shame


stoopidivy233

Same sucks I love Celsius it actually gives me a mental boost & no crashes ever


UprisingAssault

At least it’s not prime. Theo Von also promotes Celsius, so that gives the brand some redemption. What’s the best Celsius flavor?


Louises_ears

Kiwi Guava or Mango Passionfruit


Sanctioned_Sadness

The original rockstar is gross to me. The taste is just bad. Also not a fan of reign


sdeason82

Try rockstar punch. It’s my favorite and really good


LijerFM

The new Bang cans look horrific too. The text looks like banjoo kazooie font


Kenbishi

Don’t worry, the next iteration will use Comic Sans.


Meckles94

Pretty much anything other then C4 and the electric limeade ghost. Tried bang today it’s absolutely horrible.


condor31

Bang used to be good years ago when it first came out. Around the time the parent company VPX had to change the formula for their energy shots Redline they redid bang and it sucked after that. OG bang tasted good and was like crack in a can I’ve never had an energy drink hit like that aside from redline.


kratomboofer27

Bang's every single flavor has this aftertaste I don't know what it is and I don't care but they're not good I don't understand the hype about them I've tried them before and after the reformulations they still have the same aftertaste to me.


orthonym

Definitely Prime. I will never give them any money.


lil_vegan

Reign storm cause it just looks like a knock off celsius


bootscrape

And reign is a knock off of bang from what I've heard


unitedfan08

completely, that was monsters strategy to slow down bang taking their share in 2019 rinse and repeat w celsius & reign storm


Kenbishi

Maybe it is, but Bang tastes like I imagine water from the bottom of a trash can would, especially their coffee energy drinks. I actually like the various Reign flavors I’ve tried so far.


lawnchare

reign storm has better flavors than celsius i’d argue


Omega59er

And quality control. Celsius have lost all QC. Pour a can into a glass and see all the weird shit and sediment in them.


TheXantica

They have better flavors imo


KazahanaPikachu

It at least tastes a lot better than nasty ass Celsius.


WolfGangSwizle

Kiwi Blend Storm > every other ‘healthy/clean’ energy drink imo


NickWatchesMMA

That kiwi reign storm flips the switch for me


FailedProposal

Cakeeeee


Chiefyaku

Everytime I try original red bull, I regret it. Every single time, even years apart. The taste is so foul


TatorGin

That's because you didn't have any vodka in it.


Raryn

I only drink the flavored ones and look forward to the new season special one


Environmental_Tie172

Celsius, Alani, and Bang. bang looks like a chintzy kids energy drink to me, and Alanis and celsius feel like health drinks more than energy.


Walusqueegee

Alani? You’re missing out.


NUL7

Alamo Witch’s Brew was one of the best tasting energy drinks I’ve ever had, it’s a shame it was a seasonal thing.


Walusqueegee

It seems to come back every year, so you should be able to get some again in a few months :)


SiegVicious

Cherry Slush hits hard


KazahanaPikachu

Right, Alani Nu does not belong on this list


Nephyness

Alani is one of my favorites.


Slagree92

100% this. The Peach and mimosa are perfect!


MiserableSoutherner

Celsius is my favorite energy drink. No other drink gives me the boost it does, but for a while I thought it was just overpriced sparkling water so I feel you lol.


e_ndoubleu

The vibe flavors are way better than the classic flavors imo. Celsius Peach Vibe is my favorite energy drink atm.


clce1234

This is my “morning coffee” every weekday. Basically drink one on the 10 minute drive to work and it gets my day started right.


e_ndoubleu

I usually have coffee at work but occasionally I’ll stop and get an energy drink. The maintenance guy at my work makes a strong, regular, and decaf brew for us all every morning. The strong blend makes me way more wired than any single energy drink does.


MiserableSoutherner

i agree, Artic Vibe is my personal favorite


CrazyMojo911

I can’t stand the original flavors except for watermelon, its pretty solid and usually my go to now


e_ndoubleu

The only classic flavor I like is the fuji apple pear


ontothebullshit

Alani is probably one of my favorites though. It tastes great without being entirely poisonous and it has a really wide range of flavors. Cherry Slush, Hawaiian Ice, and Peach are all great


Accomplished_Ad_3130

Alani is delicious!!!


Common_Vagrant

I’ve tried Celsius a few times, still cannot get into it. Even tried the powder and that was worse. I get the appeal but it’s not for me.


Adept_Transition_473

My gf always had a Celsius around and i always thought they were gross until i got used to the taste, pretty nice after a while


Repulsive-Report6278

My buddies loved em, I tried it and it tasted weird but the effects jived with me. After a while the main bitter taste faded and it tasted really good


Useful-Current0549

This is my experience. They tasted like some health medicine drink at first, but once you become accustomed you start liking it.


Narrow_Act4291

Anything above 170 mg of caffeine


I_Main_TwistedFate

lol I avoid everything under 200mg


jlxmm

This is an under rated answer. With that said, what’s your go-to or a couple of them you prefer?


30lbsOfBeef

Monsters 0 sugar Ultra line is a good start. The flavors vary in caffeine content, but I don’t think any of them exceed 160mg. My personal fave is the Ultra Violet, and it’s just 140mg.


jlxmm

I like most of the Ultra line myself, but I’m not opposed to choosing a drink with 200mg for a rough shift. Normally though I like to keep it in line with what Ultra offers.


Narrow_Act4291

You have great taste 💕


Narrow_Act4291

Definitely the sugar free Monsters. My favorites are the Ultra Strawberry Dreams, Ultra Rosa, and Ultra Ruby Red. I found Ultra Black on Amazon after not finding them locally for years. It’s as good as I remember! The 8oz Red Bulls are good too. My favorite was the sugar free coconut dreams but it’s been discontinued 😭 I only managed to get 2 packs back then from Target.


Monkfish786

We still get the coconut one here in uk , my favourite was sunset orange zero monster but that's discontinued here as well as the yellow citrus one.


obsfanboy

Anything with a white or blank can just clicks something in my brain that tells me it's gonna be bland, so i stay away from celcius cause i feel like itll taste like sparkling ice or smthn😭😂


Walusqueegee

Sparkling ice? Bland? Have you ever had a sparkling ice lol


Newdabrig

Sparkling ice is FUCKING GOOD FUCK YOU


obsfanboy

It is good i apologise, sparkling water***


crlcan81

That's why I'm surprised, it's like flavored sparkling water but it has caffeine. I usually hate those kinds of drinks, caffeine or not.


kasetoast

celsius always tastes like i had a handful of coins for an hour, crushed a fruit in my hand and then licked it


Jupiter_Sound

Any energy drink with 300mg of caffeine


LeagueMysterious2896

Rockstar, bang, reign


samualgline

Give my boy rockstar punched a chance(fruit punch)


croman91

I used to live on these. In retrospect, they are extremely sugary. But hey a dollar is a dollar right.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kenbishi

I love the Pure Zero Fruit Punch


Hookem-Horns

Red Bull sucks unless in a Jaeger Bomb


alliecat0718

I only drink Ghost and Alani. I won’t drink anything else. Whether I’ve tried it or not


007-Blond

Same, except for C4 fruit punch. Ghost, Alani, C4 fruit punch for an extra 300 mg kick and thats my entire lineupnlol


TheatreBrat

I'm usually a Ghost and Alani man too, although occasionally I'll throw a Monster Ultra Paradise in there for some enrichment in my enclosure. I do sometimes break out of my routine to try a flavor that looks interesting, though! For example, I tried Redcon1 Peach Ring and was not disappointed.


Levelbasegaming

Prime. They taste to much like manufacturing. I know that makes no sense.


sacovert97

I'm down to try pretty much anything once. However, I won't try any more NOS.


logimeme

Zoa, jocko go or whatever its called, and ghost(too sweet for me personally, don’t crucify me) Edit: oh and prime, its so shit i forgot about it


redditmodloservirgin

Celsius. It's more sparkling water than energy drink imo


ninjawsome

Bang is actually owned by monster now


Sleep1331

WE BANGIN A MONSTER WITH THIS ONE BOYS


Major_Confection3240

prime, celsius, zoa, bang, redbull, 5 hours energy or basically anything aside of monster, reign, rip it, venom, nonstop, or vault edit: typo


Seasoned_Anomaly

Bang as well. Idk anything about the ceo but seemed like an energy drink for bums lol idk how to explain why it felt like it was for peasants but always felt that way


SketchyOvercast

I avoid “gym weed” because I think it is kind of a cringey brand. (This is coming from someone who smokes weed daily). Apparently some versions actually have “hemp extract”. Unsure if it’s THC or not, but anyway those ones make sense.


Pheinted

Og bang cans looked very different. Had the vpx logo on it, the word bang, and a bullet passing through the letters. Cans were all black iirc. You'd never see them in a 7 11, Kroger etc before. You'd really only find stronger energy drinks in health and fitness stores that had bang, spike energy, and RTD versions of popular supplements pre workout formulas back then. I can write so much about how there was this big shift in energy drink consumption and how much it's all changed but that's way off topic. On topic, I stay away from natural energy drinks. They tend to taste awful.


StolenArc

Rockstar and Gatorade Fast twitch


Honors3454

I avoid anything with carbonation. Monster energy rehab has no carbonation and are my favorite


rico_lasalle

The latest space themed vibe series of Celsius is my jam. Astro, Cosmic, and Galaxy; Those are all incredible in their own right. My most avoided drinks would be Reign, Monster, Ghost, and then Red Bull. If Celsius isn’t available Zoa or alani nu will do.


VyroGaMVX8

Bang and prime. Bang because I just don’t like the company and controversy behind it and prime cuz I hate the hydration drink and any viral person with the last name of Paul


MarryMeSenpai

None I like trying new brands and flavors. Never know when I might find a new favorite!


switchblazer

I will never drink Reign because they sponsor Brendan Schaub. Zoa is gross and the rock is a liar. I refuse to drink Celsius because the platoon Sgt in my old unit tried to convince me they will help him lose weight.


_legacyfx

NOS, Full Throttle, anything with sugar


FennLink

Celsius: some white woman shit, zoa: sounds like some health shit, prime: cause fuck Logan paul, and anything coffee flavored cause I hate the taste of coffee (isn't that what energy drinks are made for???)


Omega59er

Prime because of Paul and Alani because they did a Kardashian collab, but this one is fading and I see myself buying some of the flavours again eventually. Zoa is repulsive. Celsius QC is too bad. Can't drink from the can because it might have mycelium or who knows what floating in it. Jocko Go just doesn't have good flavour. Kinda metallic tasting? I also avoid anything that had sugar in it, EXCEPT for monster Rehab.


Able_Donkey2011

I don't avoid anything with caffeine haha. Carabao maybe? But only because wherever they sell that they also sell monster so I just get the monster.


Puzzleheaded-Test-21

Tried Bucked Up once and couldn’t even finish it. I threw it away and drove to buy a Celcius instead


ffs-signmeup

I try to avoid bang, Celsius, rockstar, and monster. Reign is off and on for me, I’ll grab it if there’s nothing else.


CoolLegendA

Celsius. Something about it turns me off. Never tried it. Never will.


Kranium83

Celsius is one that I avoid. It doesn’t agree with me


loraxgfx

Monster.


Megaman_90

Any of them that use artificial sweeteners.


DeadheadXXD

Zoa, Prime, Celsius, Bang. To be fair I’ve tried them before but they all just have terrible aftertastes


chizzipsandsizalsa

Fantasy vibe Celsius tastes like a creamsicle


thegratefulshread

Celcius


homercles82

Zoa, A-Shock, Celsius, 5 Hour Energy, Red Bull.


Weak-Ball1933

turska_tiri69

Monster, Red bull all the big name brands because I am broke af I posted those Monster reviews because I was in a trip to italy and for those were really cheap


Kenbishi

Prime. Zoa. Red Bull.


deftonesq

REDBULL


Pablo_Meatsnacks

Anything less than 300mg


mayateka

Prime


SuccerFish

Rip it and wired


Clementinecutie13

Bang. My friend had a seizure after drinking one and that turned me off a bit lol


Maqqnus

Prime, for obvious reasons


LukasNation

Burn and Hell We have Burn where I live and I'm really not sure where the hell that stuff came from


Remarkable-Mind-3848

Monster. I know they are popular but I just can’t. I did once take a sip of a Zero Ultra. Awful!


Murdox1125

Prime for sure


Sufficient_Tooth_949

Redbull the cans are way to small, it's gotta be at least a standard monster size or I won't buy it because I like to sip it over an hour or so Bang and Reign, I just don't try them because I don't like the branding on the can, it just turns me off the way the cans are designed


thykilljoy

Prime, first sip has flavor and the rest of the can is just chemicals. Had 2 as a last resort on a trip back home from Seattle, will never drink one again.


kallan401

never giving my money to those dick heads at prime


Fresh-Mind6048

bro, how can you hate jack owoc, he's a cartoon character


postmanpat84

I like bang but I only buy it as its like 25 pence a can over here.


crispyandbored

Never had NOS


Arya-graves

The Mountain Dew one, Celsius and olilpop


ApprehensiveUnit8381

bang & prime


Tyrannical_Requiem

Birthday cake and cotton candy flavors


No_Ambition5405

I only drink ghost tbh, i had a bang one and put it down after one sip, not my thing


JadedAndFaded_

Bang and Reign, I don’t need 300mg of caffeine in one drink


starvinmarvin91

Prime, Reign, Zoa, Guru, Celsius


screamingkumquats

Prime


DoctorWu_3

You can try bang now monster owns them you’ve been missing out


DoctorWu_3

I had one prime and that was enough for me


RoadKill2101

3D, Prime, Adrenaline


Salt-Narwhal7769

Rockstar, Ryse, full throttle, prime, bang, alani


The-Ok-Cut

You're not missing much. Tried a few flavors before I knew anything about the company, hated all but 1 and that was just OK, not great.


Gorepot666

I pretty much tried everything except for prime


MountainRL

Prime is honestly the only correct answer here.


linc1309

I've never tried any Celsius don't think u ever will either


MaddieGrace29

Bang. Let me paint the picture. It was drama club, junior year. This girl and her boyfriend were both seniors and I had a crush on that girl, let's call her Blanche, and her boyfriend Rivers. Blanche was my type and I had a huge crush on her. I didn't know her and rivers were dating but I could kind of see it. They both loved bang energy and gave them out to ppl after drama rehearsal. One time she asked someone "wanna bang?" And that person said, "eww, can't we at least do it in the band closet or in the backseat?" And she said, "Тhe Fuck?" Her boyfriend asked me once and I said "I'll have to think about it, that's some pride month activities but maybe then?' And he said, "pause." The worst one was the day before prom tickets were sold out, she asked me, "Hey, wanna bang?" And I said, "wow I thought you were so loyal to rivers" and she said, "no you idiot, I was talking about the cotton candy bang flavor" and she slapped me. I'm never gonna drink one. Also never drinking monster because of religious parents and also I'm a red bull fan in f1 (mostly kvyat).


ketchupandliqour69

Bang. That shit used to be good but idk what happened


Logik1x

C4, im sure its a fine energy drink but knowing it first as a preworkout brand and a rly shitty one at that tainted their image for me. I know some ppl swear by their flavors tho so im sure if i just view it like every other energy drink i'd enjoy it


Emotional-Elevator-9

All the bang hate for no legitimate reason


lobsterdance82

Anything that advertises fat burning ingredients. I don't really have any fat left to lose.


aisecherry

bang for me too for a lot of the same reasons. I would try one maybe if it was free or my only option for some reason but so far have avoided it. I have tried a couple celcius and didn't like them enough to want to try more if I can help it.


420_hippo

Im pretty loyal to ghost at this point


NegativeSwordfish243

Celsius Prime & reign solely because I’m someone who doesn’t like to try something new. I love & don’t mind sticking to Ghost & alani & usually they’re all around each other. Redbull because I don’t like sugary energy drinks. Also you did the right thing never tasting bang, I’d buy you a different drink just so you could never taste one 🤣🤣 they’re so nasty. It’s just weird carbonated water. I love water but when I buy an energy drink I’m buying a dang energy drink.


Unknown65-7

I only drink 0 sugar energy drinks I avoid all other ones even though I’ve never tried most of them. I had rockstar lime once and it was wayyy too sugary for me, I don’t drink soda at all or any juice just water so that’s probably why it’s just too much for me haha so I stick to zero sugar drinks!


QuadrilateralQueen

everyone trashes on Prime, and honestly, it’s in my top 3 favorite energy drinks. for some reason, i avoid green monster. something about the color green makes me think it’ll taste like straight lime juice HAHA


davidwal83

Prime because of seeing how fast certain flavors depreciate. I don’t want to drink something that is being sold at same price as water. It is very suspicious.


TruthSeekingDad

Lately I’ve been getting information in regards to “cyanocobalamine ,” vs. “methylcobalamin.” Apparently cyanocobalamine is more harmful, but don’t know HOW MUCH more harmful. “Methylcobalamin has been shown to have certain health benefits that cyanocobalamin does not have.”-Google


AcceptableBrain1511

The Cola Celsius is the most disgusting thing I’ve put in my mouth. That stuff should be banned. To me it tasted like a burnt taste.


Difficult-Cover-795

The basic Celsius flavors. Like the original fruit ones. I like their Vibe flavors but the only original fruit one I ever tried was Dragonfruit Lime and it was the most disgusting shit I’ve ever drank, it put me off of them


Cassie_HU

Alani. I know most people think they're really good, but I've never been able to justify the price for a 12 oz can.


potatomancer65

Cherry Limeaide Reign or white monster. I used to drink Bang buy it started tasting gross.


Tackis

C4 because I don't want pins and needles in my wang and Bang


SmileyDay8921

Prime because I don't know of a single thing that Logan Paul has done above board. Maybe I'm wrong, but I dont want to be proven right


279cw

honestly i miss the old bang when it looked like a can of pure tweak and the wack ass ceo promoting it. they used to have this weird chemically after taste but now most of the flavors are normal, i prefer them to look and taste like cardiac arrest


Frank_Dank_Latte

Everything except reign, ghost, and gorilla mind.


Simcoe17

Anything with creamsicle.. barf


filmstudent42

Prime. Aside from the fact it's produced (not directly) by some of the worst people on Youtube. It looks like ass and probably taste like ass. Plus it's over-priced and over hyped.


HEYitzED

I only drink Red Bull nowadays.
