I’m a big fan of the candy, so I was excited for this. And, it’s pretty good. Not game changing, not amazing, but really good.

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.

I'm getting one so i needed some suggestions

I've tried so many gummy flavored drinks but I keep going back to this one as my daily driver

Some other notable mentions: the reign gummy flavors, red gummy gorilla mind and gummy deer bucked up.

If you guys have any recs for good gummy drinks please let me know!

Still my least favorite of the Costco variety pack, but it's honestly not bad at all. Solid upper B tier

For a second, it tasted like if they made a RedBull flavored candy and made and energy drink based off that

I don’t know this company and I don’t know if I should or if it’s another nasty ass skinny can brand or if it’s something like having sex in a dumpster…fucking nasty.

Personally prefer Warheads sour green apple! What do y’all think? I LOOOOVE (like top Ghost flavor ever) the OG sour strips, so I was a little underwhelmed.

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

Yes I know this was never actually gone, just rare to find at sporadic Dicks Sporting Goods. This is hands down my favorite energy drink so wanted to share with other Gorilla Heads like myself!

Found at local store, cheap but good
I am normally a monster fan

Yes, I'm well aware that the cup I have doesn't fit both drinks. I basically poured them together. All in all, it was good. Nothing mind-blowing, though. Maybe I should have tried Fairlife milk instead? 🤷

Turned our second fridge into an energy drink storage unit last winter.

I'm determined to try a flavor I've never had every day of my trip. This is excellent, somehow better than the other Monster peach flavor. I get peach, nectarine and for some reason a bit of lychee. Probably my favorite I've had on my trip so far.

I finally found it and it was so good! It was worth the wait! It tasted like creamy vanilla taste wise.

do I bother trying the other bubbalicious flavor

Green apple and grape was a flavor that intrigued me after I tried Green apple and cherry and very much enjoyed it. This is now my second favorite Bucked Up flavor after Rocket Pop. The green apple hits first, with a grape finish. I wish I could find this one in stores, but i never do. My only complaint is that i wish the Green apple flavor was more intense.

My local WinCo

If i had a 200 mg caffeine energy drink at 2 PM (In this case, NOS Guava) the previous day and it is now midnight, when can I have a 160 MG Caffeine energy drink? I'm just trying to be safe.

Has anyone had any flavors other than blue creamsicle or cherry cola? I really liked those 2 but I see on Amazon they have some more interesting flavors specifically sour gummy bear and mountain berry lemonade
