Monster Energy

I’m trying to cut out energy drinks from my life… kinda. Sorta. Not really. Up until maybe a few months ago, I used to have at least a can a day, and I did this for years. It doesn’t really seem like that much, but I’m trying to be at least a bit healthier so energy drinks seem to be the first on the chopping block.

… But, I have this unquenchable thirst (HAAAA!!!! I’m a literary genius) to try as many Monster flavours as I can get my hands on. Why? Don’t know. Call it corporate bootlicking, brand worship, the unwritten twelfth principle type of liberalism as written by Comrade Mao in 1937.

If you disagree with any of my drink opinions then you can send me an email where you will be promptly blocked, reported for harassment, and my lawyer will be contacted.

What’s this, Monster Energy for people who like fruit juice? It makes no sense.

This was the nitrogen-fueled Monster line - weird drinking experience but a pleasant one.

This was a Vietnamese line by the looks of it… I have no idea how they made it to my neck of the woods but I’ll take it.
