Monster Energy Drink

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

In the wonderful short story of the same title as my review, esteemed writer Edgar Allen Poe constructs a tale in which all our worst decisions can be blamed on a little monster - the imp of the perverse. He takes a very wry look at the tendency of certain people to do exactly the opposite of what they should do at any given moment and explains it away in a particularly fantastical manner. Unfortunately for me, I can't blame an imp for the fact that I can be somewhat stupid at times. I should preface this review by saying that I'm sensitive to caffeine and have been known to abuse this most popular of stimulants a little more than I really should! We're not ...  Read the complete review

I'm a sucker for a new energy drink. I know they are bad for me but it's my life and my body to abuse. So imagine my glee when I spotted this at Tesco today. A 500ml can cost me £1.14. A bit pricey I thought but I really had to try it. The can is black with a green "M" on the front that looks like it has been carved by a monster's claws. Much like it's competitor "Relentless" it looks unerringly like a beer can. Anyway, I cracked the can open and took a whiff. I was not impressed at all. There is a staleness to the smell. It smells cheap and for want of a better phrase it also smells synthetic. There was something else that I ...  Read the complete review
