The can looks very energizing with its powerful colors and busy background. But after examining the images, it looks a lot like what an angst ridden teen (or a young Rob Zombie) might scribble in his/her notebook. Images such as flaming eyeballs, scantily clad women, gas masks, and skulls cover the can in a collage-like manner, along with little phrases such as 'tear down your idols', and 'nobody knows nobody cares'. Though it may give you a headache, look closely and you'll find a hidden Monster logo. This company sells surf and skate equipment and videos, as well as its own clothing line for men and women. Now they've come together with Monster to make this great energy drink.
This is the strongest flavored energy drink I've had. It's really strong, rather thick, more flavor than sugar. I can't really describe the flavor, somewhat like the cherry Dr. Pepper only much stronger. If you like a lot of flavor, this is your soda.
The can is without question eye-catching, lets you know you're in the right part of the refrigeration area.
As for energy, I did feel things moving around, I felt much more giddy, like maybe I should scream at the steering wheel. I also felt like I should let go of some teenage rage, and talk about how life is pointless, and we're all going to die, but that goes back to the can.
In conclusion, good drink, good size, good price, it's a winner if you like the flavor, but it's certainly pronounced.
I don't have a lot to say about this because I had such a hard time placing the flavor. I've never really had this problem before. It was thick and syrupy which I like, but there isn't really anything to compare the flavor to. There was a pretty good energy level, but the can gave me headache. Sometimes I feel confused and disoriented when there's that much going on.
