At the recommendation of The Cruncheons, I picked up a can of this stuff. Here's what it looks like as it should be in every convenience store out there:

Don't be fooled by the MMA/Ed Hardy look and design, this shit is the real deal. This stuff is awesome and I've pretty much had a can a day since. This is calorie free but is pretty much the only calorie free drink that doesn't taste like shit. Furthermore, it seems to be great whenever you drink it. I've had part of a can, left it for the next day, and it still tastes great! Also it seems to give me a shitload of energy, which I've never actually received from anything like Red Bull.
-
:rejoice It is awesomeness in a can. I picked it up on Van Cruncheon/Frag's recommendation and haven't looked back once. When my local grocery store has it 2 for $3, I usually buy like six of the fuckers.
-
:yuck This stuff is disgusting, I have no idea how you all stomach it. Tastes absolutely terrible. Which is why I soak tampons in the vat of the stuff and stick them in my anal cavity before I head out the door in the morning.

:bow Demon Killa Troppo :bow2

Monster tastes like fuckin cancer
-
What a coincidence, I just tried this stuff for the first time on my most recent road trip (long drives are pretty much the only time I have energy drinks, in addition to the odd loooong work shift). I agree with my esteemed colleagues TXP, Triumph, and Business that, for an energy drink, this is le shit. :bow2
-
goddamn all these positive posts. so uh if I don't drink caffeine at all will this make me stay up all night and wear tapout shirts?
-
Yeah, I semi-regularly make the 4+ hour drive from my shitty mountain town into Atlanta to hang with friends, and I usually find myself getting tired halfway through, even with 5 hour energy in the past.
THIS SHIT, THOUGH. Nuh uh. Keeps me going.
-
I have some sitting in my fridge right now. :obama
It's like drinking liquid ice with a splash of citrus flavor.
-
I fucks with the extra strength line. Sippin on a Black Ice right now. (http://www.thebore.com/forum/Smileys/default/ahh.png) Gets my hands shakin.

I prefer to chug them down while listening to this song for maximum effect:

whoa nostalgia trip

I bought three yesterday and actually thought about making a thread. . . :o

This is the real deal. I saw a kid pound one of these the other morning and then sprint down the street.
-
OH MY GOD
Steel reserve energy drink? :o
-
OH MY GOD
Steel reserve energy drink? :o
No, it's just some Steel Reserve variation. Straight good ol' malt liquor. I was dying watching the kid chug it before running as hard as he could down the street.
-
Think it's just super-strength.
-
Energy drinks.
Also who the fuck got rid of :scust?

Think it's just super-strength.
Same ABV, costs more. Still less than $2, though!
:yuck :yuck :yuck :yuck

well, true hardcore dudes chug Camo High Gravity. Should have told him what's what.

This is the real shit:

15%, one bottle contains as much caffeine as eight cans of cola and mentioned in almost 6000 crime reports in the space of three years in Strathclyde alone. :bow2

I've heard of Camo but never see it around Seattle. Mostly I see cans of Steel Reserve and Hurricane. I spot a Earthquake every once in a while.
You should follow SeattleBeerFinds on Untappd. ;)
-
It's pretty easy to get in Central/Eastern Washington, which should tell you all you need to know about Camo High Gravity Lager.
I'll look into this untappd business.

My regular "what I actually drink" account is SeattleBeerPenguin, but we made SeattleBeerFinds to document the shit we find on Seattle streets.

ive drank more in my life than most people ever will, and i can say that camo was THE WORST beverage i have ever put in my mouth

But the instant blackout makes it all worthwhile.

That's so funny. There was a thread on the PNW Forum over at Beer Advocate about a guy looking for Camo anything. He wanted it for a buddy's bachelor party.

The wedding I went to was all about Cactus Cooler for some reason.

Happy's Market in Ellensburg, for future reference. They also have actual good beer too :P
IIRC they're like $1.25 for a tallboy.

Hehe. I lived in Ellensburg while I was going to graduate school at Central. I rente an aprtment in a house across from the Albertsons. Also, The D&M on Main Street feom my time (2003-2005) is now Iron Horses' taproom.
-
whoa, you were there when I was, I graduated 2006.
By the way, I went there with a couple friends for a weekend last year, and the Oak Rail is closed. Heartbreaking.
-
I bought this at 7-11 recently because of the Cruncheons (along with some Shaq soda). Neither really did it for me :-\ (monster was the better of the two though)
-
fuck yes, MEZU is the mad shizzo, all you niccas need this in your beta lives
-
MEZU sounds like an acronym that a former Zima drinker would use.
-
ain't shit i haven't imbibed, my shat packin' friend
-
Just cracked one open; still as good as ever
-
Do these taste like the false sweetener type of drinks? I can't handle the awful taste of shit like that
-
I got an Ultra Blue this morning to fight off the Mondays. Not bad. :jawalrus
-
I tried one off the recommendation of the esteemed Cruncheon podcast. It didn't taste bad like a lot of those drinks. I didn't really feel amped but I got that nervousness coming down that I hate.
-
this monster tastes great and has a really even edge to it. I am animated enough as is to not need a huge energy spike and this drink really does do a number for a hard days work after a hard night of Civ/Hearthstone.
-
After seeing some convenience store locations sold out of this stuff as well as the exorbitant price of the stuff if it isn't in a 2 for $3 deal, I got this for $70:
(http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc130/esmith1985/IMG_0920_zps2c80cf16.jpg)
Comes out to $1.46/can.
-
Sam's Club/Costco or where at?
-
I got it from Amazon.
-
I'll grab a Red Bull of some kind or a Mountain Dew Kickstart since the 'starts are $1 at one o' my jarbs but I guess I'll give these Monsters a shot since we have them too and you all seem to fucking love them for some reason.
-
Tried one of these the other day.
They're...better than those no-sugar Red Bulls I suppose but it still tasted like Splenda to me. Got half way through it and decided not to finish it.
would not buy again/10
-
well, it can't compare with the most natural sugar of all -- sister sweetness :mynicca :mouf :phil

Oh sweet baby Jaysus. Glorious ruby red.
Drinking it right now, brehs.
:phil
-
Damn...gonna have to check it out the next time I go into a convenience store.
-
:lawd
-
What does it the ruby taste like? Where did you find it?
I had to give up on the energy drinks due to caffeine. But the misses is addicted to these drinks. I love the Ultra blue's taste, but the rockstar zero's are even better in taste.
-
It has sort of a Hawaiian punch flavor to it.
And I found it at the gas station that is close to where l currently live. It was the last one on the shelf .
-
it's the nubian tetas. i would swill it from himu's pulsing puckerfish.

I scored big yesterday, brochachos. A grocery store nearby is selling 4 packs of Ultra Zero for $5, or $1.25 a can. I got a few packs and grabbed a few cans of Ultra Red.
-
Is this stuff really that hard to find out there? Where I'm at, it's in nearly every gas station and convenience store. Grocery stores here all carry those 4 packs too.
It is the nectar of the gods though.

It isn't hard to find but it is senseless to pay the convenience store markup if you can get bulk quantities online or elsewhere.
-
Yeah I finally tried one of these today and it's pretty damn good. Kinda Sprite-ish. Strange for an energy beverage to not be kinda bad and cough syrupy tasting. Gonna be having these on the regular now. :hyper
-
Monster Energy Ultra Citron, take me away. :noah
-
Fuck this shit. Whenever I walk by a can of the Ultra Blue flavor I get Thrice's "Ultra Blue" stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
-
Ive got a few cases of ultra, black, and the orange ultra. The black i cant find anywhere and its so good. But the regular ultra is like crack. I used to drink two cans a day, but now i drink it less often. Costco has the red whites and blu ultras on sale for $23 a case from now till july.
