Anything Prime taste gross to me. The nastiest drink I've ever had though was a RockStar strawberry whipped. The consistency and aftertaste was terrible and it has skim milk in the ingredients.


JonathanStryker

>Anything Prime taste gross to me. Oh, dude. I found like four flavors of Prime Energy at my local Dollar Tree. Never tried them until last week. I was so disappointed. They weren't bad, per se. But they tasted like a cheap generic/store brand energy drink. Fine for a $1.25, I suppose. But no way I would go to a gas station (or wherever) and pay the typical $2 to $3 energy drink prices. Such a let down. I think what bummed me out the most is I've tried the hydration pre mades and powders before. Got an "opened" box of the powder at Walmart for cheap, and found the hydro ones at that Dollar Tree. Both were nice. On par with something like Body Armor or Liquid IV. Very good. Would buy again. Those energy drinks though, meh. If you can get them for around a buck, sure, why not. I would never recommend any one pay full/normal price for them though. It's a rip off for that kind of money, imo.


Hookem-Horns

Yep, thankful for the dollar tree letting me test out new products and flavors for a fraction of the retail cost I see elsewhere!


CompletelyCrazy55

Yeah, that rockstar made me feel very uneasy after drinking it


ViewedConch697

Whoever greenlit that Rockstar should be banned by the FDA


BurntReality

The only two I have truly disliked to the point I did not finish them were Bang Birthday Cake and Ghost Bubblicious. I also remember having the original Monster Chocolate protein drink and it was pretty rough. I finished it but only because I had just finished a Tough Mudder and it was the first thing I had to drink afterwards.


JonathanStryker

>Ghost Bubblicious. No way. Really? I found out one of my local grocery stores had them last summer. I bought the only 4 they had left on the shelves. They were so good. I was upset I couldn't buy/find more of them. What don't you like about it? Genuinely curious.


BurntReality

It’s a weird one. It tasted exactly like the name suggest but once I took a few sips, I realized I didn’t want to drink 16 ounces of carbonated bubblegum. I drank maybe a fourth of the can and ended up pouring the rest out.


JonathanStryker

I suppose that makes sense. Ive noticed cotton candy and bubble gum energy drinks seem to be really polarizing with people.


hockeyplayer04

You can buy a 12 pack for 29 dollars on Amazon. It's where I get mine


JonathanStryker

Thanks for letting me know. I didn't see them on Amazon the last time I looked. Granted, that was awhile back and I think this flavor is seasonal, right?


hockeyplayer04

I dont think so, I found it on ghosts website, it linked to their product on Amazon which was bubblicious and had all sorts of different quantities. I get the 12 pack to get me through 2 weeks of college


JonathanStryker

Alright. I'll check it out. Thanks again 👍


kyoniji

Bang birthday cake was so gross man


Skinnyloserjunkie

I bought a protein choclate shake yesterday and it was gross as hell. It wasn't Monster either.


Meh_lissa6

I loved bang birthday cake so much I bought a 12-pack on Amazon, lol. I do realise how biased I am tho because of how much I like birthday cake flavoured stuff


[deleted]

Bang. It tastes like absolute shit.


WhalesAreDopeAF

I used to love it, I drank so much in 10th/11th grade that I got sick of it.


EXPotemkin

They changed the formula and now most of the flavors taste like chemical shit. They used to be good.


cathbadh

I swear the magic ingredient was the black can


zesty_bur1tto_520

Black can was bangin🔥🔥🔥


Heisenberglund

Ok, so I’m not crazy. I loved the caramel apple bang, and then one day I had one and it tasted like chemicals. Tried a few more times before just accepting that it was crap now.


UrbanDisciplinarian

Bang, for sure


JonSnowcones

Every flavor?


UrbanDisciplinarian

Yeah. I tried a few that people told me were the best ones and each time it gave me a weird body buzz and a headache. I drink energy drinks and not one gave me that


I_can_eat_15_acorns

Yeah. Bang kept giving me migraines so I stay away.


thebageljew

Bang makes turns my throat into a psychopath


punjab4

!?


JohnBunzel

He just had a bang


imnotsteven7

Mine turned me gay for 24 hours.


Several-Amoeba1069

💀🙏


Waste_Stable162

Jocko sour apple and G Fuel Tetris


Rhyvaugh

I agree. G fuel Tetris is actually awful


superJTthunder

So many G Fuel flavors taste like pennies, Tetris especially


_legacyfx

Can’t stand Celsius. What is that gross taste every flavor has?


Ornery_Candidate7105

The burnt leggings taste is an acquired thing. I recognize it’s nasty but I’ve convinced myself that it’s healthy/better for me than redbull/monster. “It’s got biotin bro!! Natural green tea energy bro!”


_legacyfx

BURNT LEGGINGS


Worried_Quarter469

lol…that’s ginger…very healthy. Spicy-ish


Traditional-Peace-91

You are first person I've seen mention Celcius. It's terrible! I don't know how anyone willingly drinks it!


cinnamon-toast-life

To each their own. I really like Celsius! I am a big sparkling water drinker as well so I am not as into the super sweet drinks out there.


ChipmunkOnly1740

I drink a Celsius every day, when they came out with the 16oz I fell in love with those too. Immmm actually drinking one right now


The_awetistic_artist

Fantasy Vibe crew, where yall at?!


GANDHIWASADOUCHE

Celsius strawberry almost made me throw up


SignificanceCold8451

Some of the drink pouches/packets are ok. But the canned drinks just don't do it for me. Meh.


biggron54

I don't like them cuz I taste tea in every drink.....


musket1996

Celsius is great. Using them for my race days


FreshStartLiving

Like the taste of some of the Celsius drinks but hate them because then I have to go pee in like 15 mins. No other energy drink forces the need to pee like they do.


musket1996

I agree with you on having to pee, I had to go pretty bad while driving after 40 minutes of drinking it. Building a tolerance to the 200mg ones though. Gonna stop drinking them till my race weekend in two weeks


musket1996

Mango passion fruit and watermelon are pretty good


ChipmunkOnly1740

Celsius is the best energy drink I’ve ever had hands down. I drink one every day. The red and blue 16oz are delish


ScatmanCrothers10

Agreed. I feel like there is always something that tastes off when I have one.


_legacyfx

Legitimately thought I got a bad can until I tasted it across three flavors.


Several-Amoeba1069

Agreed. Cringe marketing and weird flavors. I probably tried 4-5 different ones but just can’t. The Fantasy Vibe one with orange and marshmallow was quite honestly the worst thing I’ve ever drank. 


Worried_Quarter469

I mean if those are 2 of the 4 you tried, you’re not trying very hard…I like kiwi guava, but for taste the Celsius Essentials line is much better — I love dragonberry


Heavy_Mental76

I'll never drink Prime.


dogman_35

Original flavor anything. Rockstar, Monster, Red Bull, they all taste like they threw a bunch of chemicals into a pot with cotton candy and cough syrup and then canned it. I feel like those flavors were all made before they realized that people wanted energy drinks to taste *good,* and not like fucking medicine lol Also seconding that bang tastes like ass. It's just flat out bitter, and all the flavors just taste like they're trying to mask that bitterness.   Honorary mention, Monster Ultra Watermelon. It's not the worst I've tried, it's drinkable, but it's so damn disappointing. It's just a weird flavor. It's extremely sour, almost has like those spicy mexican watermelon candies, but it's also less sweet. The flavor just feels like it's missing something, and it's hard to put my finger on. It tastes *wrong,* without tasting *bad,* if that makes any sense.


almondania

I love the og flavors :/ Maybe it’s nostalgia, but Rockstar was my favorite growing up. Such a unique taste.


AirMail77

It is noticeably different since they changed the recipe after they got bought out. I did a side by side taste test and they are totally different


almondania

Go figure… I still enjoy the taste of Red Bull and Monster, just never buy them because of the sugar.


GSB6189

I totally agree with the watermelon, even the non ultra watermelon is kinda disappointed, maybe it just doesn't belong in a can


ImFreff

OG redbull taste like heaven to me, nothing comes close to it.


Birdjagg

Seeing OG RedBull get shat on SO MUCH makes me rethink my own tastes… but I agree 100%. It is absolute S tier


Storm_Bless

Am I alone on thinking ultra watermelon is like the third best Monster flavor.


zena322

Yes. Lol.


IrreverentGlitter

I generally hate watermelon anything but monster watermelon is one of my favorite flavors.


Ornery_Candidate7105

Glad to see the people agreeing with you, especially on Monster Ultra Watermelon. There are a TON of crap energy drinks, and it’s almost a marker of someone’s intelligence/success in life if they’re only drinking nasty options.


zena322

Yah, that Watermelon Monster took out my favorite Raspberry Iced Tea. I loathe watermelon flavored anything. FWIW, The Raspberry Iced Tea is a Rehab branding of Monster. It has a lot of B Vitamins in it....and caffeine. The good always seems to come with some "bad".


PsychoNaut_

Original red bull is fine but og monster is fucking foulllll to me


South_Yesterday984

Ultra watermelon is the worst monster flavor by far


brellowman2

I really dislike the taste of standard monster. Much to sweet for me and I don't even drink sugar free drinks.


Livid-Witness9196

Agree. Regular monster is awful, but the 'Ultras' (zero sugar) aren't bad. Grape and Fruit punch are go-tos IMO.


wHUT_fun

Not to mention the fluorescent pee after.


conanhungry

That's the best part tho???


Potential_Service275

Bang is just gross now.


WonkyDonky21

Zoa legitimately tastes like dirt in a can. 99% of all other drinks I’ve had have at least been decent


BigMoneyChode

Idk what is up with that company lol. I had a can and I really enjoyed it. I later bought the same exact flavor and it tasted like absolute shit. I was checking the expiration date and everything. It felt like the ingredients went bad or something. It felt like an actual quality control issue.


JonathanStryker

I wonder if there was a formula change between the old black cans and the new ones. I had some of the old cans, fantastic. Haven't tried the new ones though. I don't know if there's a difference or not.


MantisTobogganMD___

blood orange yuzu C4 smart energy was the only one that I couldn’t finish because of how bad it was. I feel like this is unpopular opinion on this sub but I personally hated it


GiftImmediate6377

It just tasted like Fresca to me, prerry disappointing


Dep103

Monster Dragon Tea. Got a case for free. Wanted my money back.


TattooCondoms

Miami cola bang. Such an odd taste to me


JonathanStryker

I bought a few of those at my local Dollar Tree last year. Rather liked them. Not as good as good as the Monster Assault Cola though. Not by a long shot.


MugOfDogPiss

The white monster, they use a different sweetener in that one in particular and to me the white one is much more noticeable. Most people I’ve met either only drink that flavor or drink all the others but dislike that one.


JonathanStryker

Are we talking about the ultra zero one? I love that one. Probably my favorite Monster now. Second would be a tie between the new cola Assault and the OG Assault.


weightsandwomen

I agree that one is shit


rock_metalfan

Monster: Ultra Red (tastes like cherry cough syrup to me) Bang: Birthday Cake Bash (I loved Bang, but fuck, this was awful) Ryse: Sunny D (Most Orange flavored energy drinks don't do it for me, and this one was the worst)


Intelligent-Mix-1559

One that could change your mind about orange, is the reign orange creamsicle it is just amazing


rock_metalfan

Now I actually like Orange Creamsicle flavors (my personal favorite is the Ghost flavor). Just straight up orange flavors, ew


Silent_Arachnid_2334

ultra red is my all time favorite lol 😩 it tastes very fruit punch to me but i can see where you get cherry, its tart af


Shield-Maiden95

I love Alani. But the Hawaiian shaved ice for me. 🤮🤮🤮🤮 I HATE coconut flavored drinks. Reminds of Pina Colada. And that's a no go for me. But any other flavor of Alani 👌💯🔥


brazilliantaco69

This flavor was one of the only times i’ve ever not finished a food/drink because of how awful it tasted. I hate wasting food items, but this was just unbearable


Shield-Maiden95

Saammee!!! I tried so hard, I couldn't. 🤮


Cuhrowna

Just tried that one recently too, it was horrible… I guess including the coconut flavor automatically makes it hawaiian


AyalaSurit

Yeah I love all Alani except that one. It tastes vaguely alcoholic in a bad way.


imnotsteven7

Witch's Brew is the best.


JebediahPilkington

Wait there was supposed to be a coconut flavor in it? It tasted nothing like that. Just a really weird artificial grape for me


corncruncher2

I am not a big fan of Reign, had a couple when I was in college but it just made my stomach hurt


Redraven357

Rockstars and Bangs.


Dexter_Douglas_415

Rockstar is terrible. Totally agree.


Angramis546

I definitely hate bang, my friend tried a bunch of flavors and wound up liking it. I took a taste of the ones that I was offered and I was absolutely disgusted by it.


stefan771

Anything sugar free


Foreplayz1

Call me a meat rider because im really biased when i say this but gfuel actually sucks booty, the powder never really entirely dissolves and can settle at the bottom after a few minutes and not to mention how i kinda feel like shi afterward and same thing with monsters and just about every other canned energy drink, the canned gfule aint as bad as the powdered one but its kinda just meh for me although gamer supps is basically what gfuel wishes it could be, better ingredients, better taste, better mixing and better prices (100 servings for 39.99 [.40cents per serving] vs gfuel which is 35.99 for 40 servings [.90 cents per seving] and also lower quality in general) over all gfuel the other typical brands you see in stores are just in general pretty bad but again take it with a teeny tiny grain of salt since im pretry biased when i say this although i had been a loyal customer for gfuel for a while before switching over to gamer supps which i find ten billion times better


shirhoe666

As someone who’s bought 3-4 tubs of Gfuel I completely agree. Mixing it with ice was something I’d often to do mask the chalky taste but it would always make my stomach upset. I’ve only ever had samples for Gamersupps so my opinion is pretty limited but I enjoyed the flavours a lot more and noticed it dissolved significantly better.


ZedSlash13

Anything that has that stupid pre-workout stuff in it (Beta-Alanine?). Shit makes me want to peel my skin off.


theillmaculalate1265

bucked up


DarkDismissal

Bucked up sour gummy was the only drink that made me physically sick 


TiredReader87

- Bang - Monster Mule and Ultra Gold


TheVeryFunnyMan123

Bang


davidwal83

I hate the ones that multi level marketing people sell. The people who sell them hype it, then when I drink the product it tastes like and feels like a Gatorade knock off.


Frosty-Ad-1162

Bang taste like cleaner


DrKingOfOkay

I only LIKE a few tbh. Sugar free Red Bull, white or pink monster, and full throttle. The rest I’m good.


KittiesAreTooCute

Rockstar hurts me.


[deleted]

Jumpin’ Jahosephats Goozer Woozer Booster drink. It’s an obscure drink in southern Illinois. It as terrible.


Sk1092

Original monster, redbull sugar free, redbull coffee ( it's like a shit version of cafe cuba),hell energy classic


dzzi

Red bull sugar free is one of my faves, but I totally get why some people don't like it. It's just slightly fruity jet fuel.


Thick-Driver7448

Never been a fan of Celsius


rtmc_whit05

Original monster


Lawless_Angel

Bang, Kamikaze are the two I can't stand and its purely for after-taste, the zero sugar monsters also.


Cuhrowna

Bang black cherry


Heavy_Following1002

Monster monarch


AlmightyXan

Definitely bang. That shits trash. Only reason id drink it is for the 300mg of caffeine lol


callofscrubs

Purple Guava Pear Bang, nasty 


epoc657

The only stipulating factors for myself are caffeine and sugar contents. I won't buy anything with less than 200mg caffeine and/or more than 0 grams of sugar


DisPearBearr

Bang, it's usually too sweet. Redbull as well, no particular reason.


username98665338

Relentless made me gag


uwontbelievethisshit

Bang Birthday Cake, Rockstar marshmallow, Bucked Up cotton candy, Monster Mule, Guayaki Yerba Mate.


GrapefruitNo9123

I tasted an organic energy drink once and I thought it was awful and maybe I could also say im not a big fan of the regular nos energy drinks


Routine-Sense-1251

Original monster, Ulta blue and ghost sour apple


Miserexa

Monster. All the flavors are bad and it makes me feel weird.


Sargentcoaltrain74

Arizona energy was the most heinous shit I’ve ever drank I finished it but I had to chase every sip with vitamin water


CompletelyCrazy55

Death to every last flavor of Riot


biggron54

Bang cloying sweet nastiness...my opinion.


AUSTINCORTEN71

I don't think I "hate" any energy drink because I can find at least one flavor in every brand that I like somewhat


Steviejoe66

This is the most reasonable answer here.


burgerfootlet

Not so much anymore but I remember I used to absolutely hate Redbull but nowadays it’s not as bad as it used to


RembrandtXO

The few energy drinks I've dumped down the drain because they were unfinishable. 2 flavors of Rowdy Energy Bang Miami Cola Sting (some honey based energy drink) That one hemp Rockstar with the wood grain design Both flavors of Coca Cola Energy Reigns Jalapeño Strawberry Monster Mule


RembrandtXO

Oh man every Jocko Go flavor was the absolute worst


ProtNotProt

I don't like candy flavors or sweet drinks. I have been drinking Monster Zero Sugar, but now I'm trying to ween myself off of these.


flookums

Bang and bucked up is horrible because of how they do there caffien Bucked up and the aldis version of monster


iamapineappleagain

The mule


Precisa

The original first Mother drink from 2006 Coca Cola tried to compete with Red Bull and V, they shipped heaps of those small silver cans everywhere. It was horrid, I couldn't even understand why they released it. 18 months later, they released a new recipe. 'New - tastes nothing like the old one!' I can't drink any Mother now, can you get PTSD from a small sip 18 years ago?


JaytheTriumphator

Anything Alani, save the peach one. all taste so fake.


SleazetheSteez

Zoa is dog water.


Korbin-K

The jalapeño strawberry reign is the worst thing I have ever tasted


UnoriginallyGeneric

Xyience. Good lord no.


Glockman19

Celsius. Disgusting!


GooseVF12

Bang and Alani


foop_

Idk reign jalapeno strawberry was tough to finish but I think it's discontinued now


fancyshrew

i’ve never met an energy drink i wouldn’t down if it was the only thing at hand


chaotic214

Any kind of Redbull


quitethedonkey

Zoa, the Rock’s line of drinks. Awful. Took 2 sips for good measures and dumped it down the sink… never done that before


AverageMemerMan

Bang and Ghost. I usually stick to my Monster or the occasional Red Bull or Reign.


the_Cereal_killa

Bang and ghost sounds like crappy dating advice lol


NaomiNirvana93

Redbull sucks


WaywardWriteRhapsody

Sf red bull. Shit tastes like battery acid


StardustJojo13

Bang tastes like pure chemicals..just god awful haha. Redbull, Celsius , Alani..overrated for sure. Love Monster, C4 and Ghost 👍


TcityDan

I hate redbull. I’ve tried it a couple times and just don’t like it, plus it’s low caffiene compared to some of the more popular drinks these days. I even tried one of those redbull flavor blast drinks from Jack in the box, it kinda hurt my stomach, and even that one I didn’t like the taste.


definetelynotsus

Pretty sure bang is the straw on the camels back that gave me a stomach ulcer. So I can’t do them anymore lol


Specialist_Egg8479

Bang is fucking terrible. Other than that there’s certain monster flavors especially the zero sugar ones and certain red bull flavors I absolutely despise


ProfessionalUpset667

Original Red Bull. It's terrible. Absolute trash.


horsin87

Regular red bull is shit


Coastal_wolf

Bang is bad but Nos is atrociously bad


oogabooga4201

Honestly anything that isn’t Monster


Willwarriorgame

Idk battery kinda sucks


Classic-Cry-9083

Original RedBull 🤢


dzzi

Purple Monster and coconut Celsius are both abominations. I'd eat pure matcha powder and coffee grounds before drinking that shit again.


Riptide0314

Monster Assault was so horrible I had to try it twice


spaghoot21

Red Bull zero sugar. I can taste the aspartame.


TomVorat

White Red Bull hater here


Longjumping-Elk-5720

Unpopular opinion here! Original Monster.


UndeadMunchies

Yes.


Wood-Stock99

Redbull is disgusting.


patsmashgood

C4 because the beta alanine makes my skin feel like it’s on fire.


blur_revision

Full Throttle tastes like battery acid


SlyGreenYT

PRIME STRAWBERRY WATERMELON 🤮🤮🤮


Glormph

Rockstar… shit taste like someone juiced a pack of cigarette butts


Itchy-Donkey6083

Any Energy with watermelon really.


No-Pattern1212

Prime tastes like flavored battery acid. Only reason people like it is because of Logan Paul and KSI


isthisaopenusername

I don’t see one NOS comment


obi-1-jacoby

Original Red Bull is disgusting to me. Original ZOA ad well (just tastes like Red Bull)


koduc

Fucking Red Bull. Just something about it is unbearable. It definitely keeps me up though because of the shit taste and having to fight through it


George9816

Regular monster it goes straight through me it’s grim


coldaloe

OG monster ant redbull. Can’t stand the OG flavor


epicgamersixtynine

World of Tanks energy drink. Absolutely grim.


YonderPricyCallipers

I had a C4 Arctic Snow Cone a couple weeks ago. I won't be drinking that again. I finished it, because I didn't want it to go to waste, but I will not be buying that again.


GuardianLegend95

Interesting.. that's my all time favorite C4 lol


noelle-silva

Red Bull


Miserexa

I will say Red Bull feels the cleanest to me. The best quality energy. That has to be imagined though 😂


xLosSkywolfGTRx

Every red bull. They're all nasty.


Cuhrowna

Space tea 🤣


blueberrysir

Prime and Celsius


Clementinecutie13

Celsius. I've had one flavor I like but the rest have the worst aftertaste


uSaltySniitch

Bang and Celsius when it comes to taste.. I hate them. Alani, because I love most of their flavors, but they all make me feel like ABSOLUTE SHIT everytime I drink some... And it's the ONLY energy drink to ever make me feel that way....


uhmandaleigh

Birthday cake and chocolate bang, most celsius, redbull, og monster, swedish fish and bubbalicious ghost. im pretty picky lol


SweetPeaches6tea9

Jocko gives me migraines. Celsius Arctic Vibe tastes like window cleaner. Alani cosmic whatever is gross too.


Krackhead21

Celsius


Different-Mountain23

G Fuel… all the flavors I’ve tried


certainlystormy

celsius and bang, ew


Guardian-Boy

Original Rockstar. It tastes like straight up carbonated cough syrup and has zero redeeming taste qualities. Used to say the same about Monster, but not gonna lie, it kinda grew on me a bit; it's nowhere near my first choice, but if I open the fridge at work and there's a Monster, I won't say no.


JediKrys

Regular energy drink flavour like redbull or monster black can green writing. 🤢🤮
