    I’m so old I see Monster in the group on the right.

    Red Bull is the real OG king of energy drinks. The rest are imitations.

      Just realized he died, but the red bull owner also was a right wing populist who had questionable content published through his TV channel. Also the original drink tastes… not great and is quite expensive

        I mean technically speaking I’m wrong too, the real Red Bull is Krating Daeng which the Austrian right wing guy appropriated and added fizz to to cater to western tastes.

        I love how western culture takes stuff from the east, gives it a little bit of artificiality and marketing speak and now it’s a modern western invention!

        If you are so patriotic, (no searching) how many yards go in a mile? How many in a fathom, a furlong? How many barleys to an inch?

    Monster and Redbull are nasty. C4 or Reign for me. Celsius seems to ramp up my anxiety for some reason

      Redbull is mid but monster has a certain taste I can’t get anywhere else. Keeps me coming back tbh. Plus the neon vitamin piss after drinking it is cool
