That is THE best Monster flavour and I will slap-fight anyone who disses it!

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Sounds like someone who hasn't had the discontinued pink lemonade.

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I have not, indeed :-< Came in late on the Monster crave, been a Coke addict most of my life.

Hol up, the bad for you teeth or the bad for your nose kind?

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

The teeth kind, I'm not rich enough for a nose kind habit=))

Gender fluid or Blinker fluid though...

Go easy on me, I am an old and out of most loops:(

original zero sugar is better with red bull being better than that energy drinks shouldn't taste like tropical juice they should taste like an energy drink "energy drink flavour" is delicious and they need to stop trying to hide it with sugar and fruit

[–] Amputret@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

It is very nice, but also… Mango Loco.

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Mango loco #1, whatever the white sugar free can is #2. Because sometimes I don't want to speed run diabetes.

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 5 points 4 hours ago

I used to regularly buy a case of the white can to bring into work for myself and my colleagues to share. We burned through them.

Have you tried the sugarfree watermelon variety? Had a solid week of drinking that exclusively after first trying it.

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

My brain works in fantastic ways so I have absolutely no idea. I don't think I have, but that doesn't mean I haven't. I'll see if my store even has any tomorrow.

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago

Can relate, though my memory seems to be functional when related to taste.

Thoroughly recommend a taste if you manage to find some, it felt simultaneously fresh and nostalgic (used to have a lot of processed fruit juice/soda variety when growing up).

[–] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

The sugar free ones kinda get old fast for me, I really used to like the green ones (paradise I think) but now I can't stand them.

Similar things happened with most of the other sugar free flavors.

In the end I decided that I should really just not drink them at all and now they're a nice treat once in a while when I need a bit of energy and something very sweet.

Honestly, I prefer sugar to date, even though I know it isn't good for most parts of me. Dunno, those artificial sweeteners are just... they always feel like I'm drinking sweetened aspirin.

That's why I value anything sugar-free which can hold my attention. I know I should prioritise discipline, but given how things are going nowadays... Well, let's say a bit of hedonism has become a must for me in maintaining a semblance of psychological stability...

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Mango Loco's good, but it kinda'... loses its novelty after the first half of the second can... Honestly prefer the peach one (forgot the name) over Mango Loco:-?

[–] warl0x@feddit.nl 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Peach and nectarine is Monarch?

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Yes, that one! Thank you! Really nice, especially love to drink a can before starting my evening relaxation period, ironically. Peach is just such a calming flavour in general, I find.

[–] riwo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

idk rehab and mule are much better...

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I have tried neither, but I will give them a shot if I manage to find some!

Then I will promptly return here and present a backhand because you are objectively WRONG. The Punch is supreme!

(kidding, genuinely thanks for the recs, anything to detach myself from Coke...)

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Get the yellow Rehab. Black tea and lemonade. The Peach is pretty good, too.

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Thank you, will prioritise that one! Damn, I can't believe I'm saying this, but maybe I need to start watching some commercials, I'm so out of touch, it's ridiculous...
