What's your favorite and why? Also, please post any new brands or flavors that you find.. I try as many as I can. :)

My Fave: Full Throttle Blue Agave, just barely ahead of the Red citrus flavor (Also Full Throttle).

New Find: Rockstar Original in a 710ml can!!!! (http://www.rockstar69.com/product.php?pdt=1) That's huuuuuuge.

I had a drink endorsed by Steven Segal and it was disgusting!! I hate drinks with Ginseng.

I've heard from a few people that the Seagal drinks were not so good. Also, the HIRO energy drinks DO WORK, but dont taste that good. (Tahitian Noni Juice? ugh)

Big fan of Bawls soda, but I use it as a soda, not as an energy drink. Still though, I love that stuff! I can't quite place the flavor though...

As for actual energy drinks, I LOVE Rockstars. So far my favorite is Guava, but pomegranate is good too.

Monster is.. okay.. they have some wicked awesome cans though. Apparently Rockstar has them now too.

Amp is also another drink that I consider to be more of a soft drink rather than an energy drink. Its delicious, but I'd simply rather have a mountain dew, it tastes about the same to me, at least, for the price it does.

My all time favorite Energy Drink would definitely have to be Power Thirst (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrPIRYhdnqs). :D

We have this brand here called "Beaver Buzz". (Canada, beavers and all that.. get your mind out of the toilet)

They have a couple flavors, and apparently the "BIG BUZZ" has the most caffeine in any available in Canada.

I like sleep to re-energize myself.

Other than that, though... well I have had vault, and since I don't really ever drink caffeinated things, that stuff makes me kick and has a pretty good taste to it.

I drink all kind of energy drinks (keeps me awake in school even tho I get 8 hours of sleep...) I hate snake eyes! That is the only one I do not drink...

I like the taste of AMP. I used to drink red bull and everynow and then ill share a rockstar w/ my girlfriend. Has to be the classic rockstar though not one of those crappy new ones. I bought some Rockstar "juiced" at school and it was a contender for the worst two dollars i ever spent on a drink. Tastes like cough syrup w/out the nasty aftertaste. When i was in california one year i found something that i THINK was called KMX. It was delicious but ive never been able to find it again. I purchased bawls once and hated it, but i might have got sugar free so i'm not sure if i would like the regular kind or not. After the whole cocaine fiasco my friend purchased a case of the stuff when the word on the street was that they were being pushed out of business. That stuff was also nasty and gave you this wonderful burning throat sensation as well.

Over all, I don't get energy drinks that often. To much money and ive been trying to cut back on soda's.

Since most energy drinks rely on lots of sugars or HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup), those two items cause hard crashes on the end of the drink. Being a diabetic, I have to avoid those like the plague.

My two favs that I would drink if I was diabetic or not are Sobe No Fear Sugar Free, or Rockstar Zero Carb (Blue can). I much prefer Sobe no fear Sugar Free. Primary ingrediant is grape juice. Goes down smooth, tastes great, and does not crash.

Try it if you find it. *Very* difficult to find. I've got a Wal-Mart by me stocking it, as I am buying a 12 pack every 2 weeks. That keeps hte stock levels replenished! ;)

Pimp Juice is awsome but its extremly hard to find. Tastes like apple.

Monster is my favorite though, M-80, Green, Assault. I dont like the Kaos much, i find the Rockstar orange is far superior. Lost, Bazooka & Jolt are good aswell as Bever Buzz in all varieties.

There is one that made me almost ralph. I thought i saved the can but i guess it got recycled. It was a pale green can. I would rather take a huge runny dump in a glass and drink that insted of that one horrid concoction.

LOL @ Beaver Buzz.

I don't really drink energy drinks all that much, mostly because they don't energize me at all (I'm usually too hyped up on coffee for it to make a difference). But, I do like Rockstar Guava, or whatever the purple one is. And Red Bull.

I only really drink energy drinks when I dont sleep well. Which I go through every once and a while. Or a redbull and v when we get free ones at a bar I go to. But right now I have an MDX next to me. Since I got home at 3 yesterday and had to be up for work today at 6.
But my personal favorite is Sobe Adrenaline Rush, although the No Fear isnt bad either.

I think they've gone out of business, not sure on that though.

My favorites are Battery Energy Drink and Burn Energy Drink.

Do any of you guys know what that is ?

EDIT: Red Bull was ! But it is not allowed in my country ! Dam politicians !

About a year ago, there was an energy drink out called cocaine. and, ...you can get a lot more done in 1 day with Cocaine.

It was out for 9 months, and then was pulled. Now you can buy it online; it's called Banned By The Man.

I think the police would come knocking on your door if you bought cocaine over the internet.

haha, well obviously theres not cocaine in it its just a funny name.

And its called Banned by the Man now.

I saw that last night lol. Sort of disapointing. After googling however the concensus seems to be that KMX sucked. Maybe it wasn't as good as i rememeber it.

Why did they ban Red Bull? That seems pretty silly.

I dont know. To much caffeine or something.

I buy them when visiting other close countries for ca 2$ pr 250ml can or 45$ pr 24 cans.

I use to like RedBull, Monsters, Rockstar, Guru. But I gave up on this thing; there's nothing like 1 large glass of orange juice every morning to keep you awake all day

SnowFox
03-08-2008, 08:18 PM
I dont know. Orange juice makes my stomach feel funny ( and not in the good way )

I like water ! I just think its magic water, and it tastes better and makes you go on for longer !

Orange Juice? I didn't know OJ gave energy. I'll have to give it a shot. I love citrus fruit type jucies but they make me have to use the bathroom frequently. : \

I used to be a fan of Monster Khaos but soon found out that getting all the stuff that is added to one 24 oz can is definitely not good for your liver. So I switched back to everyone's favorite standby, coffee.

Mine would have to be Cocaine energy drink. I heard they started distributing the cans again! lol. and It still has the name cocaine. haha, Drink cocaine i think was the slogan before. and, also for the burning taste...they supposedly had this version called Cocaine CUT, which didn't have the burning sensation. But the first time I had that, let's just say i couldn't keep any limb still for more than a split second. And thanks to having a mini fridge full before, I can't seem to get a kick from any other drink.

I think I'm going to have find some of this "cocaine" or "no name" or "banned by the man" or whatever it's called. :D

As for OJ being an energy drink, it just gives me heartburn.. which certainly keeps me awake. :P

Drink apple juice. OJ kills.

I once bought 24 cans of a energy drink called X-Ray !

It tastes like Red Bull, only cheaper. Witch is nice :)

OK, I got a 24 pack of Red Rave @ Costco.. knock off RedBull. Works.. ok.

Today, I bought a bottle of NOS energy drink. HOLY F***! This stuff is INSANE.

364mg of caffeine per 650ml. That's more than DOUBLE whats in Rockstar, and TRIPLE what's in Monster M80. I'm shaking!!!
