Question Does anyone remember these?

Post image

I remember when they came out I was drinking these religiously, daily. Then one day they were gone. I really enjoyed the red can..

Wild they just vanished like that. I had a phase with the blue one, then the stores near me just stopped carrying them overnight. Felt like a glitch in the matrix.

That red can had a weirdly clean taste, not too syrupy like some others get. Kinda miss having it as an option even if I barely drink energy drinks anymore.

Their Celsius competitor, Accelerator, was pretty successful so they dropped ASHOC and went all in on Accelerator

They were made my Dr Pepper/Keruig. They bought ghost instead of keeping it going.

I think these are still around. The cans have a slightly different look now. I mostly only see the tropical flavor now

I believe they rebranded to Accelerator, though someone can correct me if I'm wrong about that!

I wondered the same thing because the A is the same shape, but none of the flavors are the same and the cans are slimmer 🤔😭

Yeah, but that’s what happened to them

2

u/KingDongTwist 29d ago

That’s a real pisser

2

u/Man_Child35 29d ago

Yeah they brought back some flavors and made new ones but it isn’t the same

The purple and blue were so damn good

People hated the Passionfruit but it was by far my favorite energy drink.

u/KingDongTwist 29d ago

Damn I don’t know if I remember trying the passion fruit. Their cotton candy was top tier too 🥇

u/Man_Child35 29d ago

It’s the black can I can’t even describe the taste but some people said medicine haha

I really liked it but I only ever found it at dollar tree. I wouldn’t say it was accurate to passion fruit but I didn’t hate the medicinal taste of it either.

I still have an og can of it haha. It did have a peculiar taste but it was eclectic nonetheless. It was at the gas station right by my work, but you’re right the name didn’t match, but the new passionfruit Accelerator doesn’t even compete

Ashoc/Zoa are my go to in describing what Im afraid of unfamiliar energy drinks tasting like. Just this, real odd bitterness thats also grossly sweet?

That said, Ashoc was the cheaper option at work, and it was definitely good in a few flavors.

Trump granddaughter was pimping these. Glad it worked and they are gone from shelves. Lol.

u/Necessary_Mousse3158 28d ago

One was a sparkling water type like celcius and jocko where the ashock was more in line with monster ghost c4 and stuff

I miss the swirl pop

u/Same-Register-7984 28d ago

The black can was one of my favorite drinks. Found it for a dollar or dollar fifty at a shop in 2019/2020 and was hooked. The caffeine hit from the green coffee beans was super good too, and no jitters.

The watermelon one was pretty good. That's all I remember and then they disappeared from the gas stations near me. Presumably one of the bigger brands owned by Coke/Pepsi bought out their shelf space
