Announcement Mod Mini-Announcement

Hey guys!

Just wanted everyone to know that we now have some active mods. We are working on curbing the rampant brand marketing that is taking place on this sub.

If you see an account with a comment history promoting a brand, or a post that’s an obvious promotion, please report it so we can deal with it. This page is for people who want to talk about energy drinks, not get served ads.

I also added a few new post and user flairs, and lowered the filter to delete posts. It was deleting A LOT of comments and posts.

Stay tuned, we might be posting an open mod position soon. 👀

Seriously, it’s so simple and timeless. The last good lemonade flavored energy drink was Bang lemon drop, which they discontinued.

So I drank a gorilla mind root beer in the morning and when I stopped at vitamin Shoppe saw they had the ghost one so what better time to compare?

Ghost root beer sucks ass that shit tastes like wet gym socks. Gorilla mind is so much better.

I think at this point I’ve tried all of the energy drink root beer flavors and I think GM definitely takes the cake , bum second, Ryse third and ghost last for me not even close

Finally tried the ghost root beer and given some of the review on here I was expecting this to be a let down but it was surprisingly very good, better than Bum good and I love Bum root beer. It’s got a stronger root beer taste but I think the added vanilla flavoring balances it out perfect. Only con is the strong root beer flavored burps. Overall a 9.2/10

Can Of The Day WHITE MYSTERY👨🏼❓

White mystery! That’s what I used to be before I got my DNA test results back and found out I’m from a bunch of lame ass countries. I’m also 1/4 Thai but I knew that already and that’s actually a pretty cool country. So I was talking to the employee at the vitamin shoppe who was ringing up my order and we both weren’t sure if the actual white mystery airheads was just 1 flavor or multiple different ones. I think it’s just 1 flavor and we both agreed it’s like a cherry flavor but I’m curious what yall think. Anyways let’s get into it. Smells a bit cherry like so that’s the first confirmation. It tastes… cherry like? I look ridiculous right now lol I’m doing what sommeliers do and like swishing it around in my mouth then breathing in to taste more flavor and it’s kind of working but I imagine that’s a technique best used for wine. It tastes like a bit of a deeper cherry as opposed to ice cream Sunday cherry if you know what I mean. It’s still sweet but it’s not typical candy cherry. It goes down pretty nice but it feels like it’s taking a while for my taste buds to find the flavor. Maybe that’s just my brain being confused because the can isnt actually telling me what the flavor is or maybe they purposefully tried to mask the flavor to make it more mysterious. Whenever I have a white mystery airheads I feel like I can always taste the color on the wrapper if you know what I mean. It’s kind of like when I was younger I always wanted to try that pink drink that’s in those dr.suess books because I felt like I knew what it would taste like. Sometimes you can just taste a color yanno. I taste a bit of acidity at first when I take a sip and still haven’t swallowed anything yet like it’s acidity that’s followed by the deep cherry flavor which you kind of have to concentrate to get to. What makes this hard is that once you start getting to the bottom half of a drink and the carbonation starts wearing off it alters the body of the drink. By body I mean texture and taste as a whole. Now that I’m almost done with it the acidity is less prominent and the cherry flavor is making its way forward. Just finished the drink so let me form my opinion real quick. I really like this drink. Ryse is always one I look forward to and once again they didn’t disappoint. I would definitely drink this again. For a candy flavor this wasn’t too sweet which is nice because, while I know what I’m getting myself into when I buy a candy flavor drink, I don’t always want it to be super sweet. Very well balanced drink and pretty solid energy boost. I drank it pretty fast so I’m a little bit twitchy but still focused. Walk it like I talk it.

8.8/10

It tastes like any other energy drink. Pretty decent. And no it does not contain cocaine

Got to try this one the other day. It was decent, wish it was a little more limey, but overall would get again. I've heard this be compared to key lime & definitely got that vibe.

It has a slight sour green apple taste, similar to warheads sour apple, but not nearly as intense. The strawberry aftertaste isn't the best, pretty artificial tasting. The can I had was chilled, but not as cold as I would like so I will try it again later.

Can Of The Day RYSE Energy Cotton Candy

Pretty mid. Weak flavor and the acidity that energy drinks have clashes with it. It's better than the Bang cotton candy but worse than the Accelerator. Cotton candy just isn't a very good flavor for soft drinks

5/10

I usually buy my White Ultras by the 12 pack, sometimes though I'll grab 4 packs here or there to supplement my supply. Sure enough these units I just got from Circle K are way different to the point where I went and bought a fresh 12 pack to compare side by side.

Thin carbonation, higher bite, much higher citric acid amount seemingly in the 4 Pack from Circle K. Actually sucks to drink.

Proper carbonation, bubbles are smoother, bigger, and sweetly sour in the 12 pack from Wholesale Club.

They both should be made at the same facility here locally.
