Monster Energy Drink- Tastes the Same as Red Bull but Twice the Size

Monster energy drink does everything it can to be like Red Bull. The taste is similar, the ingredients are identical, and they target the male/18-25 demographic. Though, they do have one distinct advantage over Red Bull–quantity. The Monster energy drink comes in a monstrous (pardon the pun) 16 oz. can, whereas Red Bull only offers 8.3 oz cans. So, you’re essentially getting twice the product at the same price ($2 per can).

As stated earlier, Monster’s taste is virtually the same as Red Bull (i.e. carbonated cough syrup). In my experience, the only difference is Monster has a somewhat sweeter aftertaste. This might be due to a higher amount of sugar content.

If you aren’t a fan of the high-sugar Monster, they offer a low sugar/low carbohydrate version (yes, they mimicked Red Bull here too). This is perfect for anyone on a reduced sugar/carb diet. The taste difference between the regular and the low sugar/carb version is pretty much unnoticeable.

Personally, I believe Monster is a very good energy drink and definitely gives you the best bang for your buck.
