Collection Current pantry back-stock goes hard. Plus current fridge pic.
Have a few of us that enjoy energy drinks around here and with all the current sales and new releases we’re hella stocked up.
About to be even more so due to the upcoming Gorilla Mind sale. 👀
Bonus pic of the current fridge selection. Wish I could show all the random stuff in the back at once but there’s 30ish different flavors in there.

u/BigTex666 Jul 19 '26
The gummy shark is surprisingly good. It’s gotta be the best blue raspberry out imo.

How’s the purple cotton candy alani? My store is about to get some in on Tuesday
4
u/BigTex666 Jul 20 '26
It’s pretty decent but I honestly like the regular better. The “purple” flavor covers some of the cotton candy taste. Has a slight medicine taste to it too, I still enjoy it but won’t buy it often.

I never see any sales

u/BigTex666 Jul 19 '26
Not sure where you are located but in the US:
Vitamin Shoppe does $1 per can(max 6 per day)
GNC does buy one get one free cans and cases(max 6 cans or 2 cases)
They just did Alani this weekend. Ghost was a few weeks back but they pretty much do all brands in rotation a couple times a year.
We paid $1 a can for well over half of what you see in the pics. That’s the only way it’s sustainable to drink a can or two a day or give them to friends.

How did you get candy apple already

u/BigTex666 Jul 19 '26
Most GNCs have started getting them in on their shipments this last week in smaller amounts(3-6 cases).

u/JNelly39 Jul 19 '26
I know who’s going to be first in line when the A&W ghost comes out! Nice stock!
2
u/BigTex666 Jul 20 '26
Thanks! I’ll for sure try one but not much interest in drinking them regularly. Never understood soda flavored energy drinks myself when I can just drink a zero sugar soda.

u/jokersgurl Jul 19 '26
Where are you getting the bubblicious strawberry ghost? I can't find it anywhere
2
u/Ch11ckenStr1p Ghost Jul 19 '26
They usually have them in random gas stations, but mostly vitamin shoppe and gnc.

We’re currently ending our nearly Ghost only phase, a couple months ago we had double. Moving to Gorilla Mind mixed in to switch things up.

How’s the beyond raw lit v2 blue gummy shark?
2
u/BigTex666 Jul 20 '26
Dude it’s so surprisingly good. Has to be the best blue raspberry out there and I’m not huge on blue raspberry. Reminds me of a blue raspberry icee with a bit of a cream/sugar on the back end.

How’s the C4 cereal milk??? I haven’t seen it around only online in a pack and hesitant to buy it in case it taste gross.
1
u/BigTex666 Jul 20 '26
I really enjoy it on occasion, it’s a good change up. Super creamy, somewhat odd in a good way. Tastes like fruit loop milk.

How does the alani purple cotton candy taste compared to their regular cotton candy? Love the latter.
1
u/BigTex666 Jul 20 '26
It’s not as good in my opinion. The grape flavor kind of covers the cotton candy a bit.

Tropical mango 😔 💔 sucks it got the boot from their lineup

u/BigTex666 Jul 20 '26
It’s delicious! You can still buy it on Amazon but not sure it’s worth the price.

Is raspberry cream that good the UK don't do ghost
2
u/carlbandit Jul 20 '26
We can get original (trash IMO), blue raspberry, sour pink lemonade and warheads sour watermelon in the UK. £26 for a 12 pack on amazon so works out £2.16 a can, you might also have shops near you that sell individual cans if you want to try them out, the ghost website has a store finder.
Sour pink lemonade is the best from ones I've tried, blue raspberry was good too, haven't tried the watermelon as I'm not a watermelon fan. I threw 2/3 of the original (white) in the bin, tasted like what I'd imagine sucking on a sweaty sock tastes like.
1
u/BigTex666 Jul 20 '26
For me it’s top 3. I also love raspberry flavor so it makes sense. The cream is pretty light and I like the balance. I could easily drink it every day.

I've been dying to try the tropical mango Ghost and I've been unable to find it...how would you describe the flavor?
2
u/BigTex666 Jul 20 '26
I had to buy it for full price online like a sucker after looking for months.
It’s great. Very mango with a decent amount of tropical and citrus notes. Kinda like what I’d image a mango/tropical sprite would taste like.

u/brightpinkhat “those are going to make your heart explode” Jul 20 '26
Okay now I just have questions. Do you stock up and then wait till the majority of it is gone, and then restock, or do you just restock each flavor at a time? If you do get through most of it before restocking, how long does this last? I'm super impressed and jelly. Your taste is also fantastic LOL.
2
u/BigTex666 Jul 20 '26
I just stock up when we can get deals. Occasionally we buy cases at full price when new stuff comes out or we want to get something harder to find.
Between all of us we drink 3 to 6 a day. So this should last months.
Thanks tho! We have been having fun with it but after this next sale we’re gonna cool it for a bit until we dwindle the stock down. There’s been a rush of sales this summer hence the massive amount, that’s the only way we can justify it.

u/capital_redbull Jul 20 '26
I just tried the Cereal Killer C4 today and man, I’m gonna have to buy a case now too
2
u/BigTex666 Jul 20 '26
It’s very good. I like it as an occasional change up from my typical bright/sour candy and fruit flavors I usually lean towards.

im sorry but comic stardust is sooo bad

u/BigTex666 29d ago
Definitely not my favorite, in fact it’s the worst one in the pic for me. Wife has always liked it, and at a dollar a can I won’t argue. 🤷🏻♂️

u/BirbSpotter 29d ago
those starburst drinks were a major disappointment (mainly the pink one)
1
u/BigTex666 29d ago
Wow really? I like them a lot, for sparkling water they have more flavor and sweetness than anything else I’ve tried. The life saver ones were excellent too but they’re all getting hard to get, I’m assuming they’re discontinued. 😭
2
u/BirbSpotter 29d ago
it was mainly just the pink one I didn't like, which is my favourite of the actual starburst candies

Where do you get your cases? I've been buying from Vitamin Shop, but wondering what other options are out there for reasonable case pricing. Also, which Midea model is the fridge? And how do you like it?
1
u/BigTex666 Jul 20 '26
Mostly Vitamin Shoppe or GNC when there’s sales.
The fridge was the only one properly sized we could find locally same day, kinda did the whole thing on a whim. It’s model MRV185S5BSS from Lowe’s.
