A couple of my buddies in CO are sponsored riders for them, so my house used to be stocked with the stuff when I lived there. Kind of got sick of it. When you drink three or four cans a day, it kind of loses its edge.

Agree with the others, Monster is much better.

actually, in nutraceutical drinks like red bull, monster, full throttle, etc., caffeine plays less a significant role than it does in drinks like coffee, colas, tea, etc.
taurine (an amino acid), gaurana (a stimulant), vitamin b6, b12, etc., are the real sources of the energy lift. they all could actually do without the caffeine and still "work".
imo, low carb monster blows them all away because it tastes the most "normal"...no odd aftertastes. i've tried most all of them including rockstar, Omega energy (the cranberry lime isn't too bad), stacker2 stinger, von dutch (actually a relabeled version of rockstar) , tab energy (yep made by the coca-cola company. it's actually marketed to women....but tasty), and countless others. there was one noncarbonated drink (forgot the name but 7 11 carries it in grape that read on the label basically, "you may experience an overall tingle and feel flush. this is normal and it will go away"....never that one again, i thought i was having a heart attack and was tingling all over and sweating profusely for about 10 minutes).

I like the Rockstars, drinking a 24oz can now with another in the fridge for the second shift, man these double shifts are killer. Lost is another good one, and Wired3000.

I bought a case of Rockstar with some leftover meal points (at my University), I got SO tired of it. Once I tried Full Throttle, it was like a godsend.

The blue Monster is good too. Not too much like medicine.

labels are like instructions, read only when you get stuck, or have left over parts, lol.
