Best Energy Drink on the Market?

E. · 25 June 2014

Red Bull is the classic energy drink, to which all others are compared. Most energy drinks have either 32g/100ml of caffeine ("high") or 30g/100ml ("low"). Cheaper energy drinks, like Boost and store brands, are low, while the more expensive examples (Red Bull, Monster, and Relentless being the most common) having being at high.Monster has an equal ratio of caffeine as Red Bull does, as well as the same amount sugar, so the primary distinction is the flavour (with secondary distinctions being the vitamin/ mineral amount, and the volume per unit (can, or plastic bottle for the low varieties)).Red Bull's flavour is noticeably lighter than many of it's competitors (though only "crisp" if served at ~4 centigrade/ 38.87 fahrenheit). Red Bull, just like every other consumable thing, has less flavor at the lower ends of temperature, meaning any crispness will have been served straight from an ice pack, with the drink becoming much more flavoured at moderate drinking speed (roughly four minutes per 473ml). Monster, on the other hand, has a much 'fuller' flavour to it, with the fruits used being more pronounced, and the aroma more pungent. Monster has a much more forgiving optimal temperature range, although the flavour is much more inhibited at straight-from-the-icepack temperatures than Red Bull is. Whilst both drinks have a certain bitterness about them, Monster's aroma and slightly more present acridness allows it to be enjoyed with a greater variety of foods (really, anything except oily fish (and apparently dairy products, but I wouldn't much know), although I have found that spicy foods are quite complementary) than Red Bull, but this is much more subjective than other aspects.Monster is ONLY available in ~500ml cans, which, while bested by Red Bulls variety, is of greater volume. Red Bull's largest can, at ~473ml, is quite close to Monster's; overall, Red Bull is more convenient is these terms, although this is firmly rooted in market success, and can be somewhat easily modified in the future (think of how many different volumes of units you can get Coke and similar products in). This makes for an interesting distinction of spectrums; Red Bull has greater accessibility for time period of consumption group organisation, while Monster is superior for context of consumption. While this is a review for *this* specific product, Monster in general also has a greater variety of subtypes, although Khaos I personally find less pleasant, and the more novel types I haven't tried). In terms of the sugar-free types, though, I do favour Red Bull.Finally, Monster is a clearly and plainly superior drink in terms of nutrition, although this typically isn't a make-it-or-break-it aspect for most people.This specific product will probably need to be cooled before consumption (though you probably didn't need it A.S.A.P. from Bolo anyway). In general, Monster can be better enjoyed from the fridge than Red Bull can.Economically, however, all high energy drinks, even if better per volume, are much less effective than low, cheaper types, with some drinks offering litre bottles at *less* actual price than the high units (more pronounced with Red Bull, if only due to the smaller cans available than other high varieties).Overall, a very pleasant energy drink that plainly deserves its recognition as one of the leading energy drinks on the market.

Absolutely Perfect Value For Money And Great Item 5 Stars 🌟

Battered but still provided gift happiness

C. · 3 January 2026

This arrived a bit battered to say the least, not packaged. But, it was a gift for a Monster obsessed who loves to drown in this unhealthy concoction. Who am I to judge, it's not my body lol. Very happy recipient, still alive slurping this happiness replacement 'stuff'.

Perfect in every way

With this product you receive 12 500ml cans of Monster energy. They are all the same flavour, which is the green can. When I revived this Item, it was in perfect condition. The item was well packaged. You receive these cans in a card bored tray with plastic covering wrapped around the tray. If your buying these for yourself, please don't drink all of them in one go as this can be very dangerous for your body and cause serious health problems. If your considering buying this product, I strongly recommend you buy them.

Pretty Good!

Well there's not much to say as it's just exactly what is listed, 12 Monsters! Came 2 days earlier than expected and tastes just as good as usual. Will definitely fuel me for this winter's gaming marathon and will probably buy again. Although £15 is a bit pricey for just 12 of them.

Can’t go wrong with buying in bulk!

I was very pleased with how fast the delivery was. As you can see no cans were destroyed, bar one un-damaging dent. The cans are labelled £1.49 each so you really are just paying for exactly what you would normally, with the exception of free delivery.

Okay

Was happy with the order apart from the box got damaged one can was broken but apart from that I’m happy with the order

Incredible

I adore monster energy and this crate of 12, especially at the current offer price, is incredible. Purchasing a crate is far easier than spending, often, more than 1.50 GBP in shops for each can. Highly recommended for Monster lovers. Quick delivery, only complaint is the Bolo boxes are not quite thick enough to handle the weight of more than one crate of 12 and nor was the receptionist in my building.

Monster sabor auténtico

Si estás cansado, y necesitas un "boost" de energía real, esta es tu bebida.

A.P.S. · 30 July 2023

Esta es la variedad de bebida energética original de Monster. Y, para mi gusto, la que más se nota en cuanto a efectos de concentración y alerta. Creo que sólo hay; actualmente, una variedad que la iguala o supera, incluso. Y es la de Monster Lewis Hamilton especial edition. Pero, para mí, esta es la mejor.
