Unfortunately the cost of an energy drink at least around here is nearly the cost of a large gas station coffee ~2.50$. and that’s for shit gas station coffee, if you go to like Starbucks you will pay double that easily.
I treat caffeine as a drink for the effects, not for the taste. Only energy drinks are good for the taste when I want both.
Instant coffee, raw coffee, the shitty coffee that comes in MRE packets, the fancy stuff that costs too much, espressos, 5-hour energy, I’ll chug it all down all the same. Treat it like vodka or whiskey - don’t bother trying to taste it.
I love the taste of energy drinks, it tastes like liquid gummy bears to me (which is a good thing). But the name brand stuff is super expensive and I definitely don’t want to have a pint of it in a container that can’t be closed again. Also I get digestive issues from caffeine, haha
Can’t relate at all
I tried monster once in like 2019 and it tasted so bad I never bought an energy drink since
If I want caffeine I just get coffee
I have bafflingly inconsistent stomach problems. Coffee wrecks me, but Monster and Red Bull are totally fine for some reason
Coffee is cheaper, but it tastes awful, too.
Then you’re making coffee wrong!
(Or just don’t like it, which is totally okay too)
It isn’t the worst taste, but I usually prefer to get my caffeine other ways (mainly tea or soda).
If only I could find (not too expensive) good tea where I live…
You can always mail order. I like Harney & Sons, Yunnan Sourcing, and white2tea.
Good idea, I’m in the EU though.

[sound of 1000 amateur baristas inhaling in preparation for a 2-hour lecture about how you are making your coffee wrong]

Just do Coke. Problem solved.
Meth lasts longer.
Okay but I’m already an asshole and don’t need asshole steroids. Therefore energy drinks.

Taurine tastes and smells like vomit, I don’t get how so many people are into energy drinks.
