    Monster energy drinks. Tastes like what I imagine dumpster juice is like.

    And any drink with Stevia in it. Instant dealbreaker if I see it in the ingredients.

      The smell too. Idk what it is about the smell of Monster when it gets warm, but it’s god awful.

        I’d say that, even aside from anything specific to Monster, most carbonated beverages are optimized for drinking cold and aren’t great when warm.

          Fair enough. Tho there’s something about the smell that just permeates a car after you open Monster if you don’t immediately toss it when empty. Not that I’m even a fan of the flavor anymore. Liked it when I was in high school, but can’t stand it as an adult.

      Original Monster tastes like battery acid and I don’t know why I love it (especially khaotic)

        there isnt much options for sweetners, its either sugar, stevia, somehow they might have ethyrthiol, but that can causes loose bowel movements, so itas uncommon

      I’ve tried a lot, and never really liked any of them, but I thought Monster was the best tasting of the energy drinks. Red Bull was by far the WORST energy drink I’ve ever had.
