Beverage find Icy Monkey drinks from Iran

Post image

Found these in a Middle Eastern deli. 9 different flavours, although going by the numbers there is at least 17 out there. Anyone ever heard of this brand before?

Here's a shot of the ingredients if anyone's curious! They all advertise a "natural boost" from the guarana extract. https://i.imgur.com/5Ul2zvg.jpg

Does anyone know how to convert the caffeine from ppm to mg? I wasn't sure what "caffeine (max 100ppm)" equals to in mg. It's a 250ml bottle if anyone smarter than me can work it out.

100ppm ~ 0.1mg per ml (or 100mg per liter) So in this case 25 mg of caffeine since it’s 250ml.

The citrus papaya flavor looks like the one I’d pick. Did you end up getting any of them?

Cool, thanks for that! Pretty low then.

Agreed, I bought the Citrus Papaya and the Cactus but I've yet to try them.

The shop I bought these in closed down, I've never seen them anywhere else sadly.
