A little nostalgia -------------------- -------------------- Whilst studying at University I was introduced to a pleasant, tall friend who I'd heard was quite popular around campus: Monster. Tales of late night partying with Monster and various spirits, circulated the University. It was quite the party animal, and yet still students also turned to Monster to help them in their studies and revision and to work late into the evening. A few years back, when I was but a spritely teenager trying to gain access to the 'cool' nightclubs with my fake I.D (I thought it was amazing - this was BEFORE the 'no passport, no drivers license, no entry' ...  Read the complete review

The first thing that can be said about monster is that it's probably not something that you'd drink for pleasure. It has quite a distinctive flavour whatever flavour you have, that's not a bad thing, but I would imagine that most people drink this to wake up. It has a very sugary taste to it; you can almost feel the enamel being taken off your teeth. That's not a criticism however, I think for a drink of this nature, you want something powerful. It isn't too fizzy either, which is a benefit, because drinking this quantity of fizzy liquid cannot be good for you. By comparison to other energy drinks, such as Red Bull and Kick, I think it has a better taste. ...  Read the complete review

For years, Red Bull has been the number one energy drink across the globe. Then came Relentless, tasted just the same, wasn't quite as good in my opinion, Red Bull still #1... Now there is a new challenger on the block. MONSTER! I love motorsport, love it! With motorsport there is always a lot of advertising, on the cars, on the race suits, on boards surrounding the tracks... Everywhere! I have to say I am quite easily persuaded by advertising... If a rider or driver that I like is sponsored by a certain company, I seem to buy that product! Ducati & Ferrari are sponcered Marlborough... So I smoked Malborough cigarettes. Yamaha with ...  Read the complete review

First of all, let me say that I am a mother of four children ages 1,3,4, and 6 years of age! I started feeling very tired after delivering my fourth child. I also discovered that I had asthma, which requires me to pay close attention to what I consume! I wanted to try an energy drink rather than a pill because I figured maybe it would be a little more safe than taking an energy pill. When I went over to the drinks in the local convenient store, I realized that there were a huge variety of selection of energy drinks to choose from! What in the world was I going to choose? I looked at all the prices and I came across this unique design ...  Read the complete review

I first came across Monster Energy during Download Festival at Donington Park in 2007. At the time, i was more inclined to purchase isotonic drinks along the lines of Powerade, Gatorade, Lucozade Sport when i needed a bit of a boost while at work, gigs, festivals etc. The first can of Monster that i opened was almost a completely new experience for me, as i was fairly uneducated/inexperienced in the field of carbonated energy supplement drinks. The first thing that jumped out at me (or more accurately what didn't jump out at me) was the lack of overpowering odour that you usually get from opening a can of Red Bull. Granted, Monster is hardly a drink with an ...  Read the complete review
