Monster energy drink

[simon]

I have watched my grandparents and parents pound pot after pot of coffee everyday for years on end.  How much caffeine is in a pot of coffee and why are they not dead.  No difference with these energy drinks, it's all caffeine in the end.  Now these preworkout supplements with the methamphetamine analogs i think is another story.   I like a sugar free rockstar occasionally, I really like the fruit punch flavor.  Other than that it's black coffee.

I drink these quite a bit, they have quite a few B vitamins in them which is fine but its also a shitload of caffeine. The thing is when your using any kind of stimulant to train (even caffeine)  your activating the flight or flight response whether you realize it or not and this can lead to overtraining the CNS and adrenal fatigue. Never get yourself amped up for a lift unless your maxing out and going for a personal record. Save the caffeine for the days when your maxing out and going for a personal record.

Monster Zero is the shit.

There are some interesting facts on the internet regarding this product and the company that manufactures it which I'm gonna post below which may be of interest to some of youn GetBiggers.

I believe that the pioneers of this product were Mr and Mrs Hansen who had a small apple orchard in the northern part of California by the Russian River.

We used to stop there at the start of every summer vacation to pick up a couple of gallons of their home made apple-cider rwhich they sold from small highway stand and if I recall right Mr Hansen would usually sit at that stand with a cast on his leg due to the fact that he preferrred his private stash of Hard-Cider (my uncle who  would never turn down a drink called it "SUI-CIDER" so it muswt have packed a decent wallop) and poor Mr Hansen had a difficult time negotiating the numerous, old wooden steps that led from the front door of his house to the roadside cider stand.

But I am only 80% sure that Mr Hansen is the one and the same, but here are some MONSTER "facts" as found on a WAIKIKIPEDIA site.

Monster Beverage Corporation has been criticized for its policy to sue companies or groups which use the word "Monster" or the letter "M" in their marketing for trademark infringement.

Examples include the aquarium hobbyist site MonsterFishKeepers.com, a beverage review site which published an unfavorable review of the Monster Energy drink and a Vermont microbrewery which marketed a beer named "Vermonster". Monster Beverage dropped the lawsuit against the microbrewery due to the negative publicity the lawsuit generated.

In August 2012, the Beastie Boys filed a lawsuit against the company for copyright infringement over Monster's use of their music in an online campaign.

In December 2011, 14 year old Anais Fournier died of "cardiac arrhythmia due to caffeine toxicity" after drinking two 710 ml cans of Monster Energy drink containing a combined amount of ~475 mg caffeine.

Fournier had a pre-existing heart condition, as well as Ehlers–Danlos syndrome.

In October 2012, her parents sued the company.

Monster has insisted that its energy drink played no role in Fournier's death.

A Freedom of Information Request revealed that from 2004 to 2012 the Food and Drug Administration had received reports of five deaths occurring after drinking Monster Energy.

The reports did not prove a causal link between the drink and any health problems

ONE GETBIGGER IN PARTICULAR MAY APPRECIATE THIS ONE ..... A common story circulating on the internet alleges that the Monster Energy logo resembles three Hebrew vavs, and that since the value for a vav in Hebrew numerology is 6, and the Biblical Number of the Beast is 666, the logo reveals Monster Energy to be a Satanic drink.

The Hoax Slayer website considered this reasoning to be "stretching credibility well beyond breaking point".

Similarly, TruthOrFiction.com disputes these claims as "Fiction" based on an interview with McLean Design, the design firm that created the Monster M logo on behalf of Hansen.

I get these at Dollar Tree.  They're the only ones that taste decent (refrigerated), and it's not a lot of volume.  Probably not hard core enough for you guys.  Not sure what the "diet" means.  I get that one as opposed to the other Stacker shots just because of the taste.

I gotta apologize if this has been mentioned earlier but I have not read all the input on this subject, but here are the product ingredients according to Waikiperia:

The packaging usually contains a warning label advising consumers against drinking more than 48 oz per day (16 oz per day in Australia). The UK and Europe do not have these warning labels. The drinks are not recommended for pregnant women or people sensitive to caffeine.

The ingredients include carbonated water, sucrose, glucose, citric acid, natural flavors, taurine, sodium citrate, color added, panax ginseng root extract, L-carnitine, caffeine, sorbic acid, benzoic acid, niacinamide, sodium chloride, glucuronolactone, inositol, guarana seed extract, pyridoxine hydrochloride, sucralose, riboflavin, maltodextrin, and cyanocobalamin.

Thanks to Wikipedia for this info.

Tried the fruit punch recently and was pleasantly surprised. I'll have a zero cal energy drink here and there, but it's usually just for taste purposes instead of water. The it's "poison" talk is fucking laughable.

I got this from justin harris...

Rock star has twice the caffeine for the same price, and the white Zeros taste the same as the monsters

3 for $5 makes a good pre workout with ephedrine hcl

Said by someone who no doubt drinks alcohol. Lol at dying from drinking two monsters aswell shit genetics of peace.

I can drink several espresso cups a day if I wanted, but I can't drink several monster cans a day, they make me tweak and feel like I just took poison or drugs.

Right on.  Not just caffeine imo.  I can drink coffee fine but the last time I had a Red Bull I was, shall we say, slightly short of temper.  Unless the Greasers and the Soshes invite me to a rumble, I don't see any further use for the stuff.

Yeah! And not only that, energy drinks also cause liver fat, think about that. Def not healthy. But I like the taste , especially when it's cold and you're thirsty as fuck it's amazing.

I wouldn't be surprised if one energy drink takes away one day out of your lifespan tho

So what do you miss out on?  Some dusty old retirement home pussy?  A toothless old hag who thinks it's 1965, keeps asking you "Larry, where's the cat?" while you're bumping grey pubes?  I'll pass.

Its baffling all of these supplement companies. I mean, seriously, how many different ways are there to make a protein shake? 

True, but if you market it correctly, you make millions, possibly billions.

Look how many "new" drinks hit the market each year, which are all just combinations of sugar and water.  Vitamin Water's a great example - just the same mix of crap, sold for 4B.

I know a couple who got taken for 50k by another couple (and I think there was some swapping afoot) when the couple I don't know pitched a buy in scheme for a vitamin water thing.  So they got $50k in cash and were promptly never heard from again, lol.

I don't know these people well, I swear.
