When I first tried the Monster Energy Drink, I honestly didn’t like it. It tasted like I was taking medicine with beer in it.
In fact, my female co-workers were the first to warn me against it, telling me that taking one was tantamount to drinking alcohol in the office. The Monster Energy Drink, however, does not contain alcohol.
The Taurin Plus Ginseng flavor, my favorite of the bunch, contains, take note, 5,000 milligrams of caffeine, Carbonated Water, Sucrose, Glucose, Taurine, Sodium Citrate, Color Added, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, L-Carnitine,Caffeine, Niacinamide, Sodium Chloride, Glucuronolactone, Inositol, Guarana Seed, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Sucralose, Riboflavin, Maltodextrin, and Cyancobalamin.
That’s a lot of ingredients for an energy drink. It’s like a cocktail of energy-inducing chemicals designed to shock the human body, and keep it awake over the long stretch. I
don’t like Rockstar, no doubt, Monster’s chief competitor.
No matter how many times I take Rockstar, I just can’t fall in love with it. But for the Taurin Plus Ginseng Monster, it was just a matter of time! I actually have a craving for it. It just has this almost champagne-like, candy-like taste to it that’s really refreshing. By now, all the medicine-like after taste has mysteriously disappeared, and I just don’t know why?
However, I cannot say the same for the other flavors, which I don’t even look for in the store shelves. Some say it’s addicting, although I only take it, despite the craving, when I know I’ll be cramming for some hardcore research, or when doing overtime at work.
It’s really effective. One can, and that’s all it ...
