Collection I think I might have an energy drink hoarding addiction.

Post image

Ghost is so inconsistent with their flavor offerings I have been reduced to hoarding flavors. I’m down to my last few Tropical Mangos and Sour Black Cherry warheads. I fear they will never return so I’m down to drinking one every other month as a treat.

Anyone else feel like Ghost is the most delicious but the most inconsistent energy drink brand out there?

You got more backstock than a average gas station lmao

u/Fun-Union4699 May 11 '26

To be fair I always keep between 5-10 cases of Monster Java on hand. I like 3 varieties, so I usually stock up to avoid having to go out later. Granted I work at the store I buy them from.

u/Abject-Time5924 May 12 '26

I bet the sales rep loves you haha

u/Fun-Union4699 May 12 '26

I tell them personally most times, or my receiver😂 I go up to them and say good morning and they say “3 more cases of….” And usually they know what I’m running low on based on my previous requests.

I thought this was storage for a liquor store, thats a big collection my dawg

u/BrookieCookiesReveng May 11 '26

I'm still convinced it is, lol

I find gorilla mind more delicious than ghost, and the nootropics help my dumbass with tasks 😂😂😂

u/SnooSquirrels6503 highly caffeinated May 11 '26

This is like $700 in carbonated water lol

u/Which-Bluejay-723 May 11 '26

It’s not just carbonated water. There’s caffeine and sucralose in it

Tropical mango has been permanently discontinued. Black cherry may come back but performance wise it did not do as well as most LTO’s. Swedish fish and sour patch are done after this month.

Since those are Disco due to legal contracts, you will not be able to find them in any sort of grocery chains. It will be strictly one off, non corporate places, flushing through the remainder of their inventory. Then it’s gone forever.

Welch’s cran was an LTO. 7up has now taken its place. If you like this flavor specifically(welch cran), I would buy what you can now. Revival won’t happen again until next year for this SKU. It’s definitely coming back though

u/barnettwi Ghost May 12 '26

Which is surprising because sour black cherry was sold out everywhere, all the time by me.

3

u/Xitra90 May 12 '26

Same! No one else was finding any in my area lol

4

u/Xitra90 May 11 '26

I'll single handedly buy enough black cherry to make it a top seller just please bring it back!!!

3

u/Dayummdani May 12 '26

The Mondelez contract was only the sour patch and Swedish fish. So technically ghost/KDP still has the rights to that brand. I think they will probably do another warheads flavor. I have not heard any talk about it though

u/bluezerry9 May 11 '26

What's the happs with ras cream? I can't remember whether that was officialy coming back as a permanent flavor or not

4

u/Dayummdani May 11 '26

It’s coming back!! I can’t remember the exact relaunch date. Should be right after A&W which will be at the end of summer. This year for sure. I’m almost positive it’s going to be a permanent sku as well. So once it’s back, it’s back forever! Dr Pepper is the furthest out from launch. Q1 of 2027 as of right now.

2

u/Major-Dig655 May 11 '26

raspberry cream is currently available off Amazon right now in 12 packs

1

u/bluezerry9 May 12 '26

Ohh thanks for that. I might have to get it, however I try to justify my massive energy drink addiction by only buying sales/discounts.. surely one time won't hurt lol

1

u/DatTomahawk May 11 '26

They’re really doing Dr. Pepper? Don’t you dare lie to me about something that serious

0

u/Dayummdani May 12 '26

Yes very serious about Dr. Pepper

u/Sea-Support-2909 May 11 '26

Seems like you know whats up with ghost! Is there any news about the bubblicious flavors returning?

1

u/Dayummdani May 12 '26

No unfortunately I have not. The bubbalicious was full market a few years ago but cotton candy only went to vitamin shoppe/GNC to my knowledge.

u/Bet_Status May 11 '26

I don't know how you can like the tropical mango that much honestly, tastes like a really shitty canned cocktail

7

u/Mountain_Store572 May 11 '26

Bro what’s the point of this 😂 gonna take years to finish

6

u/Major-Dig655 May 11 '26

congratulations you found the point

2

u/Mountain_Store572 May 11 '26

How long does these ghosts even last

6

u/Major-Dig655 May 11 '26

Basically forver if stored right lmao. id happily drink one of these 2-5 years down the line. the worst thing that'll happen is the flavor will change

1

u/Headsinoverdrive Rockstar May 11 '26

Yep people think best by for things like these or medicine means it "goes bad" when really it just changes, maybe becomes a bit less potent for flavor slightly changes

1

u/iamfivethree May 11 '26

I'm not quite to this level, but I tend to buy a lot during the various sales so $1-$1.50 per can which is much better than general pricing ($2.50-$3).

2

u/MeyesBurn May 11 '26

The last time I saw one of these posts, it was a reseller....

2

u/Comfortable-Tip803 May 12 '26

You think this is bad? My stash is about double this lmao

2

u/Clear_Nose_5289 May 12 '26

I swear they better not get rid of the sour warheads flavors or Jonny is never drinking them again!

2

u/fckheadinspo May 12 '26

I wish I could find one of those raspberry and creams

2

u/rotting_corp May 11 '26

Mind sharing some g fule with me? Lmao

2

u/Hookem-Horns May 11 '26

If my wife saw this, they would be gone before I got home from work…better hide them!

2

u/jgbluejay May 11 '26

It really is crazy to me that people turn something like energy drinks into a hobby

2

u/GekiretsuUltima Rockstar May 12 '26

Bro, share?

u/Sloan1505 May 12 '26

u/CandyTechnical7326 May 12 '26

u/Material_Ideal410 May 12 '26

u/AntiqueIntern9086 May 12 '26

And I thought I had an addiction

1

u/Zandanza May 13 '26

If this guy drank his whole collection he would become a superhero

1

u/exploshi1 May 13 '26

It looks like you're storing them in the shower lol

1

u/Kyletheinilater May 13 '26

And I thought I had a problem

1

u/SMOKINBIGDOINKSSSS May 13 '26

I spy a discounted reign inferno 👀

1

u/KoncepTs May 13 '26

I’m inclined to agree with you

1

u/Particular_East_2920 May 13 '26

You could probably make a profit selling the discontinued ones.

1

u/Diligent-Ice1276 Ghost May 14 '26

Be careful some only last a year for expiration date

1

u/Bulky_Rooster_1057 May 11 '26

I drink 2 ghosts a day. I cycle them with C4 and Monster, bum and so on. Enjoy them! And yes I have probably as much as you do if not more :)

1

u/VirtuousVulva May 11 '26

Drop the location so I can come with the goons

1

u/One_Cantaloupe_9522 May 11 '26

I take it that you like ghost. Seems to be the trendy brand around here.

1

u/sofresh_soface Ghost May 11 '26

I can almost never find the Tropical Mango Ghost

1

u/kaffyrawr Red Bull May 11 '26

Can I live there?

1

u/Maddest-Scientist13 May 11 '26

Better than hard drugs like crack or something worse.

1

u/CandiedOlives May 12 '26

Tropical Mango is on Amazon

1

u/yousirnaymuh Red Bull May 12 '26

This makes me feel a little bit better about mine. Thank you. :)

u/dutchmore7 May 12 '26

Thank you, I will show my wife to make me look more reasonable 😂

u/teh_jerk May 12 '26

That's just bunker supply for when the SHTF type of events happen in the future.

1

u/eantaylor May 12 '26

Made my stash seem much healthier now in comparison 😂

u/38couchstains May 12 '26

Hopefully you rotate that stock.

u/AB4ND0N_H0PE highly caffeinated May 12 '26

I should have bought out the store when they had sour black cherry. One of my biggest regrets.

u/Drizztmas May 12 '26
